NEW YoRk's GROWTH.

The City Has Never Halted Since It Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes paper on the
Greater New York, entitled Reasoning
Out Metropolis for St. Nicholas.
Mr.. Ingersoll sayss
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearby north
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now the
Greater New York. 1t embraces 341
square miles of territory and includes
population of nearly 8, 400, 600.
Besides these at least another million
dwell on the New Jersey side of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs. This
makes population of nearly 4, 800, 600
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter
ests in America, but, excepting only
London, the most populous spot on the
globe.
How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it stands?
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is its position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons for its situation? The earliest
settlement here was merely a trading
station that gradually became small
seaport, like dozen others along the
coast Before the year 100 these were
so nearly alike that he would have been
wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be the two great
American seaports.
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number of people fluid it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later for pleasure. You cannot force
city to grow in an unnatural or insult
able situation, and it is no easier to pre-
vent a city from growing in its proper
place. But the conditions that change
village into big town and expand the
town into city or metropolis are not
the same in different parts of the globe
and vary with the march of the Gen.
turtles; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nineveh or Mem
phis, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amazing rapidity, after long his
tory as small and insignificant places.
AS for New York, it has never halted
or gone backward for a moment since
1t was fairly started ON it's career in
1923.

NIGHT.

The sun has vanished out Of my sight,
And the moments sadly roll,
For my heart is dark with the thought Of
night,
And the night is in my soul.
The day is set and never will rise,
And my heart is sick and sore,
For the sweet, sweet light Of my true loves
eyes
Ny very sleep Of rest is shorn,
/ am full of pain and care
Sick with the thought of what I have borne
And of what is left 10 bear.
see the rose with bushes fred
hear the brook run by,
But am tired, SO sick and tired. =
almost long to die.
For know the sun will dry the stream,
And the flow ret fade in the frost,
And know that my dream is all dream
And the charm of the dream is lost
There will never, never be any more Light,
For my hops and must part,
And my soul is dark with the thought of night,
And the night is in my heart.

The schoolyard.

To spend large sums of money on
architectural beauties and stone cary
ings of historic ornaments-which have
but little attraction for children-to
make school building look like pal
ace and then to leave the schoolyard
looking like desert or the top of a BIZ
luminous lake, without single attrac-
tive flower or one bit Of beauty, are in
consistencies which seem possible only
in the modern system of education.
Weather beaten houses in the country,
log cabins ON the frontiers, railroad sta
tions in the Great American desert and
all over our country have their beauti-
full flower gardens, and it refreshes
ones soul to see them, but there is no
such source of refreshment, inspiration
and instruction where children are be-
ing educated in the essentials. Hen
ry Lincoln Clapp in Popular Science
Monthly.

STARTERS OF RESTAURANTS
A Business Operation by Which Some Men
Make Considerable Money.

A Business Operation by Which Some Men
Make Considerable Money.
sit may seem strange to say So, re-
marked a lawyer the other day, but it
is true, nevertheless. that there are men
in the city who are getting rich by es-
tablishing restaurants that do not pay.
This is the way they do it: A cheap
shop is rented and fitted up as restau-
rant at cost, say. of $3.50. Food val
ued at about 800 is purchased, and
some judicious advertising is done.
More food is sold for the money then
than customers can get anywhere else
in the neighborhood. The result is a
crowded restaurant, though the pro-
prietor is losing money steadily. When
he has a first class line of patrons and
he appears to be doing big business,
he advertises the place for sale. Ill
health or a desire to move south, east
or west is one of the. excuses. Custom
ers appear promptly, and the proprietor
usually sells his place for $1,000 or
1880, half in cash. His investment
has not been more than $500, SO he
clears from $500 to 81, 000 Of course
the place proves failure, and the pur-
chaser loses his money. The restaurant
starter, however, moves to another por-
tion of the city and repeats his enter
prise. y
The lawyer said that he recalled one
man in particular who had started no
less than ten restaurants in the last six
months, all of which he sold. With two
exceptions the places did not pay, and
the men who bought them were COM
PEELED to close them.-New York Com
mercial Advertiser.

THE SIAM ESE GIRL,
Her Garments Are scanty, and She Is =
Inyeterate Smoker


Her Garments Are scanty, and She Is an
Inveterate smoker.
From the moment Of her birth ST.
amese girl is treated with less consider
alton than a boy. For several years aft
er quitting the realms of "baby land
she dresses very slightly indeed Il refer
more particularly to the lower classes,
though the rule applies more or less
generally. Next she adopts the sarong,
Dr waist cloth, and on top Of this is
placed bright colored scarf of consid-
cradle length and breadth, which is Gus
tomarily crossed and recrossed over the
breast and under the arms. These two
garments constitute the whole of ST.
amese girls wearing apparel unless she
chance to wear a scanty vest of linen.
Rings and bracelets are inevitable, pro-
vided she be of class enough to afford
them. and in few cases the costume is
finished off with fimsy pair of slip
pers, into which the stockingless feet
are thrust.
The average Siamese girl is an invet-
crate smoker of cigarettes from very
tender age. When quite a baby, too,
she, in common with the rest of the
population, is taught to chew the leaf
and nut of the betel palm-at least
she does not require to be taught this
unlovely but (if we may believe what
we see) fascinating pastime. Since,
however, she knows full we'll that she
will be esteemed passee, not to say an
cient, at the age of 80 she concentrates
the whole of her intellect upon the seri-
Gus business of either entering the pal
ace or getting married. But if it be the
latter, the marriage in Siamese middle
and upper class life is the most elabo-
rate function that an English girl could
imagine. The negotiation-what we
should term the counting lis gener-
ally conducted in the first instance
through an old beldame. 1t is this old
womans business to discover among
other things whether the stars in their
courses are propitious toward the hap
py event and whether the respective
birthdays of the bride and bridegroom
fall suitably to the date fixed for their
union, for in all such matters the ST.
amese would appear to be even more su-
perstitious than their Buddhist belief
might reasonably be expected to make
them. Gentleman Magazine.

Lessen Your Wants.

More of the true enjoyment of life
lies in this maxim than is generally
thought. We may indeed go to extremes
and cut to the quick, like that cynic
philosopher who threw away his wood
en- cup on seeing vagrant boy drink
from the hollow of his hand. But the
truth is we create many of our own me-
cessities, and with the growth Of luxury
new wants come in, not by ones, nor by
tens, but by hundreds. New York

One For the Debating Club.

A group of half dozen physicists,
all eminent; sheet of paper, a pencil.
With the latter one of the group draws
a pulley, cord over the pulley, tree,
q bough from which the pulley hangs.
To one end of the cord is attached a
stone, to the other cord clings mon
key. The stone balances the monkey.
IF the monkey proceeds to climb up the
cord, what will happenf Will the stone
rise or fall? Heated discussion; break
up of the party; no result. Can any of
your readers help to settle this question?

In Bozeman.

Bozeman, Nov. 19.-The event OF the
last week I'm Bozeman society circles
was the Soldiers Christmas Benefit
Party" given last Friday evening in
the Armory hall. The affair vas both
musical and a dance. The first part
of the evening was devoted to the rem
dition of an excellent musical pro-
gramme by the best musical talent In
the city. and the latter part Of the
evening was given up to the enfovme-
of tripping the light fantastic until the
wee sma' hours. The hall was very
prettily decorated by the committee.
The walls were adorned with bunting
arranged in a very tasteful and attrac-
tive way. with punches of flags insert
ed at intervals. At the head Of the
hall the shield Of the United States
and IL was quite a large one-was hung
amid decorations of bunting and flags.
In fact. the decorations were as nearly
perfect as could be with the materials
at the command of the ladies. In the
old hall adjoining the armory refresh
ments were served during the evening.
This hall was even more lavishly
adorned with bunting n the national
colors than the armory hall. and II Is
doubtful whether II has ever looked
more beautiful In the long course of it's
existence. The receipts from the dance
and concert were sufficient to pay all
the running expenses and send nearly
$40 as a Christmas present to the boys
in blue at Manila from Bozeman. The
dance music was very appropriately
named after the heroes OF h war with
Spain. and there WAS Company G
