 ''Oh, yes" said he. q belong to the " street gang, though I don't live on " street. You see, there aren't enough boys on my street to make real strong gang, so we have to put two or three streets together and all belong to the gang of the street that's nearest to most of us. Faint always that way, though. I know some boys that belong to gangs as much as half mile away. Maybe they got acquainted with some of the fellers from going t school with 'em or something like that Anyhow gang is no good unless there is as many as 150 boys in it. little gang would be get ting licked all the time.
 Do you want to hear about the last battle we had with he X street gang?" said the boy, and when replied that of course I did, he went on. Well, I can tell you all about it. because was the boy that began it all. I was out right in front of our house playing, yesteday afternoon, and three or four fellers of the X street gang came along and chased me, and I ran down three blocks to where the headquarters of my gang are. There 1 found a lot more fellers, and we chased 'em back again till they ran down side street, picked up most of their feilers on the way as they went along, and pretty soon had as many as 40 or 50 boys while we had less than 20; so of course they drove us back again into our own diggings. But it wasn't three minutes before almost every boy on our side was out, and we chased 'em back again for the second time, lickety- split. Their gangs good deal smaller than ours, but whenever they get into tight place they go down and get the avenue gang to help ,em out, and that's what they did yesterday; and by that time you'd although it had rnined boys. the street was so full of 'em Every once in awhile a boy on one side would get captured by the other side, and they

Nev York.-The most desolate and !, ,;nviting part of the ugliest town im- s soinable-such is that quarter of Long 1sland City which is known as Dutch Kills. a region of unpaved streets and xhadeless and low houses not dilapi- Rated enough to be even picturesque. xat there must have been some remnant
 of rnral beauty about the scene 22 years Foo. when John H. Thiry, looking about Kim for place to spend his declining Bears upon a well-earned competence sattled upon Dutch Kills. To this acci- Kent of choice, which Mir. Thiry is too sentle a soul to regret, no matter how 4be region may have altered, is due 4he fact that Long Island City, most un- 1il5ely place to lead the way in any help sul movement, was the first in the coun- 4rv to introduce the school savings bank
 system.
 2 Mir. Thiry is an enthusiast. He was |born in 1922 in Belgium and entered .4he first normal school ever established
 there to fit himself as teacher. After
 one or two years of active work in this
 profession he became government clerk. Twelve years later he emigrated to the
 pew world and set up a foreign book
 store in lower New York city. Highly
 Educated, able to speak and read several languages, he is probably one of the hest authorities in this country upon |polyglot book selling, and his private li-
 brary contains many rare and beautiful! Volumes. Although he has retired from
 active business since 1875, he retains a Younger mans fresh interest in the af- lfairs of the world and especially does
 his attention expend itself upon his
 First love-the public school.

Bicycling for Girls.

Does girl lose caste by riding wheel. Emphatically no. It as prop CT to ride a wheel as to ride pony or to walk. But girl must ride with grace and fearless courage. She must have the right kind of saddle, must have her handle-bars at the right height, and be dressed so that her skirts will not entangle O. entrap her. There is no pleasure which surpasses that of swift motion, when one is young and strong and the blood courses buoyantly through the veins, whether the motion comes from :,kating, rum ming, riding qF going forward in any sort of progress which requires exer- else. The old Greeks understood this, and one of theirs fayorite goddesses was always flying along. Look her up in your my ythology, and you will find which one I mean. Her name is very short, and q popular American author wrote beautiful story about her, which I ann sure you all have read. Harper's Round Table

was in the studio of J. G. Brown the other day when MT. Brown was putting the finishing touches on one of those pictures of the street boys of New York which have made him so famous, when very dirty and very ndependent-loolx- ing bootblack came into the room and announced that he was there to pose as model for another picture which Mir Brown is planning. The canvas was not quite ready for him, and after word of explanation he slouched out, saying he would "come agin when de stuff was ready"
 Mir. Brown is the president of the Society of American Artists, and he is well, don't know how many years old, but he says he had picture sale when he was 60, and he is going to have an- other when he is 70, so that he must he somewhere between those ages-yet he knows more about boys, and par ticnlarly street boys, than any other man in New York, because he has paint cd them all his life.
 People come in sometimes" said Mir. Brown after the boy had left, sand look at all my other worI1-the pictures of the pretty girls, and of the sweet old women whose dear faces paint for my own pleasure in the summer time away out in the country-and after having admired everything to their hearts content, they always say: Now, Mir Brown, won't you please show us boy?' Yes, boy pictures are popular It is an age of speeialties. Know all about boys? I should say did. Here IS this picture of The Gang for in- stance. There is good deal of study of boy life in that. It is one of the largest pictures I ever painted, and it has a great many figures in it. Notice that tough-looking little fellow in the
