have moving vans and trucks, bearing
household goods which look the worse for
sunlight exposure. 1t is natural in this
connection to recall the story of Bill Nye
used to tell about his attempt to move in
this city on May day. He loaded all his
movables into one large wagon, surmounted
the same with his children and drove down
to his new apartment. When he got there
he found that, the wife of the tenant being
seriously i'll, it had been thought wise not
to move that day, and consequently there
was no vacancy for him. He drove his
effects back to his former establishment,
but the new lessee had moved in with all of
his traps and the Nye family was left on
the outside. 'between the devil and the
deep sea-" as it were With the natural

square and camping for the night. The

aboriginal camp fire was certainly very
amusing, if not entirely veraeious. 1t at
least depicted in a general and jocund way
some of the horrors of moving day in New
York city.
