The New Year.
A man without work and without a
home, standing on a street corner last
night, just as old 1895 was in the last
throes, remarked to another companion in
misery:
"Well. Bill, 1 reckon them whistles won't
blow so loud tonight, cause they amt so
many of the whistles to blow as they was
a year ago tonight. 1 know the old whis-
tie down to our factory won't blow"
Despite the fact that so many factories
ARE idle, there seemed to be no lessening
in the usual screeching noise that marks
the coming of the new year. In the dis
taace. towards every point of the compass,
there was also the humming of whistles
blown continuously, and as the hour hand
and the minute hand on all w~ell-regulated
clocks came together at the top of the dial
the sweet chimes I'm Grace Church spire
periodically began on "Yanke Doodle
The man in charge seemed to realize that
the air was not as loftily patriotic as 1t
might be, and he changed to America"
There were no irecrackers on the street.
Not a great many people were on the
streets, and it cannot be said that Father
Times present debutante was received with
as much eclat as the d~ebutanteS OF former
years.
