to the distinction Of getting his name and
face in the Sunday papers and would
ave furnished o fortune in copy to the
space-flling guild. Mr.. Spelman wed
way back yonder before there was any

eagle had become a national bird. He
gave his residence to the census enumer-

recorder of Nottingham. He recorded
he was a busy and tudious man around
the neck of woods that Mr.. Robin Hood
made famous After the year mentioned
Mr.. Spelman finished.
Before casting in his lot with the silent
majority, Mr.. Spelman aired his views on
the subject of burial plots. Mr.. Spelman
must have been something of a SPELL
binder, for his ideas were known through
out the length and breadth of the land.
He never overlooked an opportunity to-
impress upon all hearers the Importance
of being immured in a manner out of the
ordinary. He was a learned man, and
had made a study of all the contempo-
raneous literature and legends. His
hobby was tOmbs. He cared nothing for
collecting first editions. Souvenir spoon
hunters he regarded with an indulgent
contempt. He had no ambition to be al

fate of that inquisitive lady he got an
idea which made him famous.
1T is hardly possible for me to be
changed into a pillar of SALT he reason

being immured in a pillar of a church,"
And from the time this idea suggested
itself to him up to the date of his demise
Mr.. Spelman made it his life work to
disseminate his original views. AS q
proselytizer he seems not to have been a
gilt-edged winner, but the opposition
which his countrymen developed to being
placed in an upright position for all ages
only strengthened him in his determina-
ton.
Accordingly. when the office of recorder
of Nottingham became vacant by the
death of the incumbent. Mr.. Spelman's

QUARTER AND DESCRIBES IT FOR THE READERS OF THIS NEWS
PAPER.

New York, Feb. 23.-'The Tenderloin
IS a glorious place. said my friend, the
Rake, the other evening as we met on
the corner of Broadway, where a win
dow of flashing jewels throws it's light
far down one of the cross streets. Come
with me one evening and 1 will convince
you"
Done, Mr.. Rake" said I, IT'S a bar
gain. You shall show me the Tender
loin."
Come with me then. Just use your
eyes and ask questions as freely as you
will. Come now, hurry up for way
down the street l see a type-the first one
for you to study. Hurry after her! l will
keep you in sight. See! She has a shaw
over her head and something under her
arm
Running along the slippery street,
sliding and getting footing again., l over
took the woman. Her eyes were very red
n she looked cold and pinched. At sight
of me she held out her hand end began
to whine: Il was young like you once
she ~whimpered. cant you give me a
dime" At this the blue coat on the corner
looked our way And before I could an
swer a word she had slipped away and
was lost around the corner OF Seventh av-
enue, where the awnings and the uncer-
tain lights hid her from sight.
Whats the matter?' said my friend,
the Rake, coming across the street to
join me, And who was she?"
"Oh, never mind,' said I, she was a
woman and a woman in distress. If you
can overtake her give her this dollar
Slipping a tiny treasured gold piece in his
hand.
Keep the dollar, then, you won't see
her again. l know her. She once had
money and jewels and good clothes-bet-
ter h yours!"
But where are they now?"

enough to give him a lift until he gets a
start in the world. 1t will lead him-his
music will-to a Tenderloin dance place.
And then comes the cham-and the ruin.
Goodnight, Miss!': =,
Talk to the Fairy some other time Mr..
Rake said I. Il don't like it here and I
don't wont to stay"
"Oh, dont go now" pleaded the Rake.
"They've got an old fellow IN here with
lots of money and he's going to set up
the drinks for all. That little fairy
asked him if he would give the order
and he told her he would do anything
to get a glance from her sweet eyes.
l thought she would die laughing when
she told me about it. Better stay!'
Better 60" 1 said.
Now there's a nice place over on
Eighth avenue" said the Rake as we
got out in the open ARR 1T isn't as
stylish as this and there are both whites
and colored folk there. But it's no end
of fun. They drink beer-no champagne
there-tell fortunes, and a a nice lit
tie performance on the stage at the same
time. You can hear the violin scrape the
strings for a week afterwards. 1t is out
of tune. Its low there, but the place is
one of the sights of the Tenderloin.'

genuine darkey dance house?'
"Agreed,' said the Rake. They'll let
us in. They know me! But it's up two or
three streets and not far from Seventh
avenue. I promise you fun there. Manys

Cert" said the Rake, They're nc

Through the lively noisy Tenderloir

Opening a door of a saloon where i
was marked Ladies Entrance, the Rak'

the women of this part of the Tenderloin
long to get rid of their money. A few
glasses, a little gay mpa and the
moneys gone in a month, a day"
"There's another woman skulking along
the walls of the houses. Has she the
same story to tell?
Yes. Just the same story. There are
500 of them homeless. They are the shad-
ows of the Tenderloin. You see them
here and there and everywhere, but al
ways very miserable and crying. They
will gradually drift down town and new
ones will take their places. See! There is
another and another! They are living in
Railways and alleyways. And their even
ing pot of beer is all the comfort they
have. But come to gayer scenes on
Broadway. Shadows are tiresOme."
wait a minute, miss called out q
hoarse voice, can't yer divide up on yer
Teller? l seen yer catch on. And l
guess if there's anything in it, l am in
with yer. Anyways if there's the drinks"
Poor thing, come away. She's drunk"
said the Rake who seemed to read the
Tenderloin like an open book. She was
a beauty once and SO rich that they would
have found it hard work to reach her
with the law But she got to drinking and
now shes with the lowest. She was the
belle of Seventh avenue when my father
was a Rake. But come across the street.
We will enter and lance
Across the street we went to where
there We're faint sounds of revelry es-
Gaping from the windows. And up a
flight of stairs and then another, until
We reached the third hall where the mu-
sic was very loud and an air of revelry
prevailed.
At the sight of the Rake we were eag-
erly welcomed, like old friends. and We're
ushered with a scrape over to a table
where we could watch the dancers. How
tightly the windows are closed and there
are thick dark shades at the windows" I
said to the Rake.
Yes, of course. You see they are
watching these dancehouses especially.
They say they violate the excise laws and
permit Ievelrous dancing"
well! They certainly do" said l as
my eyes fell upon a girl who stood alone
in the middle of the floor and who, en-
couraged by loud clippings, was about to
do a waltz edition Of the danse du ventre.
"They are bringing us drinks!"
Have a glass just to be sociable," said
the Rake, you cant look at the Tender
loin unless your eyes are frightened by a
look into what comes out of a black bot

ing champagne for us. Here's To a Ten

Lifting the glass to his lips the Rake
drained it and then was ready for his
share of the applause.
m now a lively strain struck up on
the piano. Lets waltz" said the Rake.
Watch hat couple and you'll see how
it's done hereabou:a.
THAT couple indicated by the Rake,
had clasped each other around the neck
and waist in the middle of the floor and
were whirling with a velocity greater

jerky arm. And away we went among
the dancers until we brought up dizzy
and recling by the piano.
"Say, young fellow will you get me g
glass OF something wet? Or will you ask

a glass of the stuff? It's in the bargain

to him and motioning toward the door

i2S; .

At Asst, Sonoma county, California, a
few months ago a hundred couple took
part in a dance which was given in q
great half million gallon wine talk be-
longing to the Italian-SWiss colony at
Asst. Such a scene has never before been
witnessed, for the reason that the oppor-
tunity was for the first time presented.
The Asst wine reservoir or tank is the
largest, if not the only, example of It's
kind in the world. 1t was constructed last
wear as a matter of necessity, and some
what as an experiment, from inability to
obtain sufficient cooperage for the Win
crop which the San Francisco merchants
refused to purchase. 1t was quickly eX-
cavated and lined with concrete, and,
upon it's completion, was Immediately put
to the use for which it was intended.
Since then it has been emptied, and While
awaiting its refilling. the ltalian-SWlss
colony concluded to give a ball IN the
monster tank. There was room in the
reservoir for 200 dancers, as its dimen-
sions are so feet in length, 81 feet IN
breadth and "a feet in height.

Teller was to meet me here. But he
hasn't come and I'm glad. I've got
money now, but he'd take it away from
me sure! And maybe black my eye if he
was drunk. He's a bad one! He is! But
I'm stuck on him!'
Mercy on us!' said I. And Mercy on
us!" again.
Look at those pretty women drinking
champagne over there" said the Rake.
They'll cheer you up a bit.''
And sure enough they did. They We're
so very happy. 1t was a pleasure to
watch them. And their voices as they
came drifting over We're pleasant and
their words pretty. They were in full
