SUCCESS.

How many people are there in
this civilized world who think and
reason unguided and unfettered
by the prejudices of early instruc-
ton, environment or preconceived
opinions? How few there are who
are willing to permit the free and
unrestrained movements of those
reasoning powers with which they
are endowed. The majority of
people think so and so, and do so
and SO, simply because some other
persons have thought and done SO,
having no we'll defined opinions of
their own, nor reasons for their
ideas and actions. Millions of
people are themselves at fault for
not achieving greater success, be-
cause of their biased notions, mar
-mindedness, seeing things
only upon the surface, and living

and is stationed in his locality to
try his mettle, and the east side
element proves it to the Queen S
taste.
The class most frequently met
with on this street is the beggar,
or as he terms himself, the "Pan-
handler and the Bowery is the
"Panhandler's'' paradise. Here
he may pursue his calling day and
night without fear Of molestation
from the police; here he is at
liberty to pour his tale of woe into
the ear of the unwary, and here
he abounds in such numbers that
one wonders how he manages to
exist at all. There are, at a
moderate estimate, at least eight
! beggars in each block of the
Bowery, four on each side of the
street, and unless person is a
millionaire it is absolutely nee
essary to refuse their importuna-
tons. But the 'Panhandler" can
tell at glance whether the
pedestrian be a visitor or an old
hand on the Bowery, and very
seldom does he make the mistake
Of batting Bowery frequenter.
His work is very hard, considering
that the average amount received
at one time is but one cent, but
when luck comes his way he may
perhaps get the whole of five
cents, for which he receives
two glasses of whisky, stuff that
would kill anything but a Bowery
"Yegg." OF the beggar to arouse
the sympathetic, we shall enlarge
upon in another chapter.
Closely allied to the ''Pan-
handler" is the "Bouncer." The
"Bouncer" considers himself mon
arch of all he surveys, and woe to
the unlucky loafer who brings him
self under the ban of the" Bouncer,"
the self-constituted chief mogul of
the Bowery. The "Bouncer' is
always of Herculean build, and is
as big in bullying as in stature.
He frequents the lower class sa-
looms, and spying some lonely IN
dividual who seems to be flush, he
bustles forward and takes his place
beside the bar or table and begins
to converse. In a short time he
calls the waiter and says, mines
beer! The waiter brings beer,
which the lonely individual must
stand good for, tine ''Bouncer'' in
sisting he was invited to drink.
If his victim complies with good
grace all is we'll, but if the worm
turns, then does the fun commence.
The ''Bouncer" jumps at his victim
with a roar and grabbing him by
the collar fairly bumps him off
the Bowery, using his knee as a
battering-ram, all the while warm
ing his victim to show his face in
that locality never more, What
does the Cop do? Just laughs,
that's all, for it's an every day
sight BONES.

sphere; having little or no desire
to see but one side of the problems
of life-having either no concep-
ton, or a wrong conception, of the
other side-unwilling to permit
their minds to expand, soar above,
beyond, investigate and strive to
grasp the more complex and vast
problems of life. Millions Of peo-
pie keep themselves down because
of these simple facts.
True it is that life is very large
ly lottery or game Of chance.
For instance, you may possess an
average or superior degree of in
tellect and physical endurance,
and strive with might and main to
achieve success, and all your eff
forts avail nothing, while your
inferior neighbor puts forth little
or no effort and is eminently sue
cessful. Conditions are favorable
to him, while you are a victim of
circumstances circumstance over
which you have no control
Thousands Of worthy, deserving
men are victims of occurrences
with which they had absolutely
nothing to do. And again, the
most trivial circumstance often
leads to fortune or misfortune.
Simply turning this way or that
way, going down this street or
that street may influence all the
years of our future. Too many
people are on the wrong road to
success, and the average man who
has met with innumerable defeats,
reverses and disappointments,
finally loses courage and hope, and
perhaps going up too easily, loses
ambition and productive capacity.
Men toll and struggle to get on
top of the mountain of success,
but most of them find it to be too
steep; they have taken the wrong
road and seem unable to find the
right one, so after many trials and
vicissitudes give up in despair
and seek refuge down among the
humble flowers that blossom at it's
base. Indeed most of us have
realized that many a fond ideal
which CLEANS like a bright star is
soon wrecked and then sleeps in
the grave. Cheerfulness, happi-
ness, prosperity, prospect, hope
and encouragement are changed
by one stroke of misfortune to
disappointment, failure, wretched-
ness, misery and woe. Spring
time then winter; sunlight then
darkness.
But these agitations and mis-
fortunes, though painful at the
time, if rightly acted upon serve
to sharpen and strengthen our
faculties and pave the way for
brighter and better things, for
happy golden future; and if we
again 60 forth with renewed effort,
hope and enthusiasm, with in
SEPARATION born of wisdom and ex-
perjence, with a determination
to overcome and sweep away all
obstacles, success will almost sure
ly come in the end.
Although some of us are not
now enjoying the best the world
affords, let US take our thoughts,
our minds, ourselves away from
our present environments, and let
us feel that this is a pretty good
worl after all-the best we ever
lived in-and strive more earnestly
to make our portion of it brighter
and happier, cultivating a spirit
of hopefulness, cheerfulness and
earnest endeavor. A more chart
table spirit toward our fellow man
will, in most cases. be reciprocated,
and will result in our own benefit.

Many and strange are the tales
told of that famous thoroughfare,
the Bowery, and while the ma
jority are to a greater or less de-
gree exaggerated, still truthful
delineation of the Bowery's daily
sights and scenes would hardly be
credited by the most verdant
readers. The Bowery has, since
long before the Declaration OF
Independence, been upon the
wings of gossip, for in its early
days it was Manhattan's choice
residence district, and along this
shady avenue might be seen the
fair colonial buds and aristocratic
bon-ton in gilded coaches, bowling
along to shop or residence. Later
on the stately houses gave way to
the shop keeper, and the Bowery
became the principal business
street. Then, as trade began
moving uptown, the Bowery was
left to those of more humble and
less fastidious occupations. But
the Bowery of today is not the
Bowery of twenty or thirty years
ago, for the so-called reformer,
that aesthetic individual who pre-
fers artifcialism to human nature
pure and simple, has succeeded in
forcing prudish customs upon the
free. and-easy individuals who con-
trive to live upon their wits. But,
thanks to those who insist upon
following their natural bent, the
Bowery still possesses much of
interest to be found nowhere. else
on this continent. Even the much
Wanted South Clark Street of
John Yeggdom is but a puppet
show beside the grandstand per-
Torrance of the Bowery.
The Bowery begins at Chatham
Square and ends fourteen blocks
further on at Cooper Union, being
divided into Third and Fourth
Avenues at that point. Though
by far the best lighted street in
New York city at night, it is
never even on the brightest day
anything but dingy, for it is CON-
pletely rooted over by the elevated
railway from curb to curb; and to
cap all, it is filled at all hours of
the day and the greater part of
the night with wagons, trucks,
electric and cable cars, till it takes
an expert to make a crossing.
Though in ordinary business hours
the sidewalks are all too full for
comfort, at morning, noon and
evening, when the workers are
hurrying to catch the 81" trains
to their homes, the traffic is so
dense that one has to fairly elbow
his way through; and such a con-
glomeration of humanity can be
found nowhere else in all our
broad land.
Representatives of every nation
on earth are seen; the light. the
dark, the fat, the lean, and pre-
dominating over all is the hook
nosed "uncle" from Jerusalem.
In fact, the Bowery, along with
the whole East side, seems to have
been given over to the Jews. as all
the shop signs end with a"stein" OF
"heimer," while four-fifths of the
people you meet are of the Jewish

cast of countenance. To the east
slider all Jews are "Geese" and
Italians respond to the pleasing
cognomen of Guineas.
The only familiar sight the

over her wiudpipe in such manner
as to stop her breath. The aged
mother held her daughters head up
and shouted for help, but no one
heard and she was obliged to leave
the body hanging there while she
went into the house for knife with
which to cut the rope. Mrs Hoyt was
about 80 years old, and was highly
respected. She was active 10 church
