Mrs. Cleveland and the Whcclman.

1t was Christmas week and n young
man on bike was confidently riding
mp L street. A heavy cnrriage drawn
by two prancing buys came spinning
up the street at the same time. The
young man was fairly run into the
gutter, by the turnout and to save him
self from being crushed, he jumped off
his wheel. The bays we're drawn up
to the curb in great style, and the lady
occupant of the carriage stepped ont
to go into IL store. She instantly took
in the catastrophe. The wheel was
almost wreck, and tho rider was
looking around for his hat. She
stepped right mp to him and inquired
if he was hurt. Being assured tim,
he wns not, she took out cnrd and
wrote a few lines ON it aud gave it to
him, saying:
'Have your wheel repaired and

Real Estate yaiues IN New YORK.

Mrs. Schuyler Van r .nsSelner hus
paper on "Places in New York" in the
Century. Speaking of the rapid in
crease of value OF real estate in that
city, Mrs. Van Rensselaer, says: Two
miles from the City Hall? Very much
farther away thnn this stands the new
Herald building, where Broadway
and Sixth avenue intersect. In 1915
the city owned its site, and sold it for
80, $50. The Herald now pays rent
for it-for the land alone-at the rate
of $50, 900 year. At the same sale
many years ngo corner lot ON Fifth
avenue aad Forty-Second street
brought 81 400, and in 1Si0 four hun
dred lots on Fifth avenue above
Twentieth street were sold at prices
ranging from 5000 to Si00. Within
twenty years some of these were sold
for Sl5. 900 each, and you may guess
their present worth for yourself, re-
membcring that business and business
values have now moved into this
region also.
Less than twenty years ago n much
more northerly district, between Fifty
ninth and One Hundred and Tenth
streets, west OF Eighth avenue, would
have shown yo1 little but rocks and
puddles and predatory goats and boys.
Now much more than half it's surface
is covered with buildings, all OF a very
good class, aud their estimated cost
has been $4,000. 900. Lind M
here is more precious than was land
two miles from the City Hall in the
days of Philip Hone. And it is just
ms easy now ns then to grow greatly
richer in New York, if you are al
rendy rich enough to buy little bits OF
it's soil, and to hold on to them for O
little while.

travelled with the circus and kept in the

q parrot, of which he was exceedingly fond.

and would suffer no one to approach it ex-

oooped up, the old sailor went to work and
built large wire cage out doors. The
building Of 1t oocasioned more or less re-
