TWO EFFECTS OF CROWDS.
Moving Life Of a Big City Both Exhil.

"What | like about New York"
remarked a wcsterner. to a New York
Times writer, SIS lis tremendous en-
ergy. The crowds and hustle have
upon me the celebrating effect of a
stimulant. As | move along among
the masses on the sidewalks, and look
upon the perpetual stream of vehicles
OF all descriptions in the streets, | ann
conscious of a buoyancy of spirit and
an increased physical energy.
Il feel like going all the time, my
mind is brighter and clearer, and, in
fact, my whole being seems toned up.
New York and its crowds are more
beneficial to me than any resort | have
ever struck. After a two weeks stay
here, | return home feeling like an
other man."
"Well, that is strange" said the
person to whom this statement was
made. "Do you know, New York has
upon me just exactly the opposite
effect. To me, what l might term the
surplusage Of life here is depressing.

there was nobody here who cared

JOKE ON THE o <
EOrssplAy of Dign.hsd Members of a
Board OF TTsda

Brokers of the Milwaukee chamber
of commerce are the greatestpractical
jOkers in the city, says the Sentinel.
The pranks they play on the innocent
and gullible ones, the gags" they in
vent and the horse play that is carried
on almost daily in and out Of the pit
relieves the tense strain Of the brok-
ers' lives and drives dull care away.
The other day the joke was on
Julius Karger Of Ksrger Brothers.
Saturday evening Mr., Karger went to
the iheater and afterthe performance
stood on the street corner for some
time waiting for a car. None came
for ten minutes, owing to trouble on
the line, and he started to walk home.
AT Twelfth street and Grand avenue
one overlook him and he got aboard.
In one Of the afternoon papers Mon
day was a violent attack on the street
car company signed by Mr.. Karger,
He told at length ofthe trials and trib-
ulations he experienced Saturday,
Just as soon as the brokers saw the
open letter they knew he was their
fruit" So Tuesday afternoon one
of them went to the phone of the ex-
change in plain view Of 200 members
and called up Mr.. Karger. Near by
Mr.. Karger could have been seen at
his phone.
as this Mr.. Karger?" said the jo-
cose broker.
"Yes, it is" replied the %aggrieved
one.
Il am John L. Beggs," said the
broker. Il saw your open letter in
the paper and | want to know about
that affair. l tell you, between man
and man, the street car company can't
let a prominent man like you suffer in
convenience. would like to know all
the facts"
In the meantime 2O0o or 800 brokers
listened and laughed inwardly."
At the other end of the line Mr.
Karger said some very plain truths to
the supposed Mr.. Beggs. He told him
Of the shortcomings of the line. al
was ten minutes | had to wait on Sat.
urday night" said he. 81 had been tc
the theater and /"
81 cannot tell you how sorry We
are" was the reply. 81 am SURE thai
when the directors Of the company
hear of the sad affair an investigation
will be made. In the meantime We
shall esteem ii a great favor if you will
accept from the street car company
free transportation for the remainder
of the year. OF course there must b,
no more letters othe papers written
Please call or send for the transporta
ton to-day"
The supposed Mr.. Beggs rang of
and Mr.. Kargers talked from his offic,
to the floor of the chamber like
pouter pigeon, and the fierce yell o
JOY and delight that greeted him still
rings in his ears. Hewas enlightened
forthwith.
Mr.. Karger is still doing the inev
liable 'hOnors" which follow such ex
p~eriencfs.

too, without the slightest impotence
Or expression Of irritation, which al
most any other mar would have ut
tered in comforting the same favor.
It was in this spirit that he went
among the people of the south, and
did more than any other man has
donce since the civil war to restore
along them the fraternal spirit. He
acted in this no doubt fromawisepo pol
