When We Were Young.

Another woman came in, and a man
was with her. The fur trimming on her
black coat was bald in places, and there
were worn spots on his chinchilla over
coat She asked the price of an engine and
cars, and her lips quivered despairingly as
the heavy sum was named. Then he whis-
pered to her, and her eyes frightened. A
big wooden boat painted gorgeously, and
the exact image of Noah's ark according
to the juvenile idea, was passed over to
the couple. OF course he had told her that
little Willie would just as soon have boat
as a train OF cars, and, besides, he could
have such fun sailing 1t In the bath tub
and giving the animals swim.
Another Sweet-faced woman purchased
several simple toys, and one was riding
stick, with an fmpudent monkeys head at
the end. The observer had one once. and
he looked into the woman's home and saw
little fellow riding 1t proudly up and
down. Then he saw his little baby sister
get hold of 1t and suck away until all the
paint on the monkey was transferred to
her system, and he saw the doctor come,
and the silence in the household; and then
he saw the baby outdoors again, thin and
peaked, but getting we'll again, and saw
the boy looking for his riding stick and
not finding 1t any more, just as he did
thirty years ago.
Then the thought struck the observer
that one Christmas and another he had
come into possession of pretty nearly all

THE yENEMENT-HOTSE QUESTION:

COLONEL CRUGER At THE BOARD or HEALTH -

Colonel & v r. Crugcr was among the early
visitors at the Board OF Health yesterday morning.

Instead Colonel Cruger told the doctor that he

city. No tenements he said. could stand such
comparison favbraby. Colonel Cruger alleged that
every report and complaint heretofore submitted by
the Board OF Health had been carefully investigated
and repairs were always made In accordance with
instructions.
Or Edson said that the Health Boards corps OF
inspectors was small and its members had vast
amount OF work to do He intimated that tenement
owners expected to look out for defects them
selves Or Edison assured Colonel Cruger. however
that the Trinity Corporation would be treated with
every consideration and courtesy possible during the
investigation
A reporter asked Colonel Cruger II the corpora
ton had no method of learning the condition Of is
houses
He replied that the corporation employed inspectors
for that purpose. But he walked away without an
swcring when asked how these inspectors could have
overlooked the alleged terrible condition OF the tene
houses. Dr. Edson said later that he also had
