is disturbed only by the occasional
rumbling of train above them, or the
swishing of n passing steamer, or the
dragging of n slow net And so live and
die these indolent human worms of the
river front.
Autumn has found no welcome at
their doors and winter will fare no bet
ter with these people "who toll not
neither do they spin," and yet they are
far from being lilies. With the freezing
of the Ohio those who have floating
property are stewing and worrying to
find safe harbors for their crafts. The
entire community huddles in behind
the piers of the bridges, trusting to
good luck rather than good manage
ment to save their little homes, many
of which, strange to say, are furnished
with some taste. No home i'm Shanty-
town seems complete without lace cur.
tains for it's small windows. In their
many wanderings they bring together
many peculiar things, and hanging
lamps of all kinds seem to be the pre-
vailing fad with these queer people.
The authorities of Cincinnati tried to
have these Shantytownites pay H.
ccnse, but this they refused to do,
claiming the Ohio river to lie publia
highway. and that only the government
had the right to collect from them.
The mail carrier who has been on that
route for the last Is years says he de-
livers the mail there three times day
and would not mind going among these
funny people II they did not change
their names so often.
Miserable as the lot of the Shanty-
townites may be, there is perhaps no
reason why we should object to their
condition as long as they themselves
are perfectly satisfied with it. While
some of them are criminal in their prac.
tees, yet the great majority is honest
and law-abiding. We may, indeed, pity
them, but why should we, who live in
luxury and comfort, interfere with
their peculiar method of existence?

by those who sleep in comfort within
four wallis in the heart of the city.
Autumn in Shantytown Look about.
The background of the willows has
taken on warm, rich appearance, and
most of the boats are propped up on
stilts, so that in case the murky Ohio
bulls the market in the night and
raises it's currents, none will be stuck
in the mud to rise with the tide. They
are nearly all whitewashed and fairly
glitter in the sum- little streets or alleys
find their way among them and from
the waters edge climb up the north
bluff, along whose edges are propped,
as it were, the betterto-do suburban
mansions of this queer little town, and
it is here that imperfect leisure grows
by neglect. Like the spawn left by the
fishes among the lower rifles of this
same Ohio, Shantytown guards her
many creations, and the open sun seems
forever Matching out strange product,
which sooner or later takes the form
of humanity, and which, like the tur-
tie, seems to think the only aim in life
is to bask in the gravel and feel the
warm currents of sunshine creeping in
through the hard shell it always car
Iies around.
The typical Shantytownites are not
affected by the common vicissitudcs of
life, or it's smaller miseries, but wake
up in semicomatose condition and
sprawl out along the banks of the river
with the same kingly right of posses
sion that makes the Nomad chief of the
desert.
They claim citizenship at no partic-
ular place, but with the changing of the
season they migrate, picking the pleas
antest places in which to tie their float
ing homes.
But human nature is the same the
world over be it in hovel or palace, and
this queer little village on stills is no
exception TO the general rule. In the
midst of these same people is '"Tough
Mary" who succeeds in cleaning out
any and all who offend her highness;
but let anyone get sick or in trouble

AT one end of Shanty town is a white
washed boat with the words: 'Happy
Home" painted in iurge letters on the
front. Just how the inscription ap-
plies to this same boat none can tell,
rs 1t is occupied by three lone fisher
men, who drink bad whisky and use
night for day and day for night. 1t is
about such habitation as Dickens
dared to nail up and thatch in for the
romantic home of the immortal "Ham''
and Little Emily" But no romantic
story can be drawn from the lives of
these three lone fishermen, for they
are the terror of Shantytown and the
vicinity. Ten cents is not too small a
sum in their eyes to make man worth
holding up. They catch their fish in
human form, and not the finny tribe in
the murky Ohio, and If the crime Ia
brought too close to them they slip an.
