Tor the avowed purpose of building Tp

Tugs and FerrybOats in TangIe, and a
Girl in Red Who Liked Gum.
A few minutes before noon the other
4ay tow Of twenty-five loaded canal
ooats swung briskly around the Battery
from the North river. The column was
formed OF four fOurs and two threes.
ana was beaded by two big tugs. On
one OF the canalboats a girl in a vivid
red calico dress and with bare LEGS
swung IN hammock and chewed gum.
There was Il strong ebb tide. so when
the big tugs with their unusually long
tow lines had puffed up the East river
almost to the foot of Wall street and
had slowed up, the twenty-five canal
boats bounded back like balls at the end
OF rubber cords, lifting the two lines
dripping from the water.
The line OF boats wrapped itself snuo-
ly across the openings of five ferry sims
rive terryboats wanted to get out and
could not. Five ferryboats-the Bav
Ridge, Staten Island, South Brooklyn
Hamilton avenue and Atlantic street
wanted to get III and could not. They
all whistled hoarsely, and the passengers
crowded to the sides of the boats TO see
what was the matter.
Thousands Of people on the ten locked
IN and locked out ferryboats saw the
RED girl IN the hammock, but she swung
and chewed unconcemedly.
Inc river became dotted with tup-
boats which wanted to get in other Sins
or which just puffed up along to see tbe
row. The biggest of the big tugs at tbe
mead OF the tow whistled for assistance
and SIX tugs glided up alongside of tbe
canalboats and made fast Then no.

wanted and deafening lot of whistle
signals were sounded.
The captains of the ten ferrvboats be-
gan making impolite remarks to the
captains of the eight tugs; the deck
hands on the ferryboats became mr.
pie Ill the face with suppressed emo
tlous; the deckhands of the canalboats
drowned the screaming whistles with
strange oaths such as are used to exhort
lowpath mules, and thousands of de-
layed passengers were bathed in sympa-

Other terryboats, lighters, tenders, an

A Needed Ipven,,o,

One OF the inventions which needs to
to be made is a checkrein which can be
operated from the vehicle behind without
the trouble Of alighting. Many thirsty
horse is driven past the wayside spring
because his driver is too lazy to get ont
and uncheck him, and it is hardly once
IN thousand times that the ascent of a
heavy hill is made easy by allowing the
horse the use of the whole of his spine
instead of two-thirds of it-all he has
when closely reined up. The man who
patents a checkrein which can be safely
adjusted from the carriage will make
his fortune and be canonized bv tbe

A Troublesome Name in Ch,oa.o


The many variations as to the pronun-
clatlon OF the name Goethe street cause
some queer misunderstanding and lu-
dlcrous situations. A policeman who
was standing on the corner of Wells
street and Chicago avenue was asked If
ne knew where a man lived.
''Shure, an he's afther Twin ON Goatae
sthreet," " he replied.
"Where?"
"GOatee sthreet."

"Pfwhy, s'pose like g-o-a-t-y. same

asked the question he had put to the no

a Wells street car soon covered the
eleven blocks and Goethe street was
reached. After the interview had been
attended TO number of inquiries were
made OF various persons in regard TO the
name OF the street, eliciting at least n
dozen different pronunciations.-Cbi.

1t is a matter of common observation
that Hebrews as u rule are more than
ordinarily devoted to their families, and
their home life is beautiful in MANY
ways. AS everything has cause, the
most plausible one in this regard appears
to me to be the severe prosecutions TO
which that race has been subjected for
centuries, compelling clannishness and
atording them their greatest happiness

They had trickled into rain,
Sunlit, on the braken.
Once her full limbs flashed on me.
Naked, where some royal tree
Powdered all the spaces

For Launched satyr races.
