ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK..
RippIes on the Current of Life in the
Metropolis.

New Workers. are such gracious experts
IN handing gold bricks" to innocents from
"the provinces" that when a resident is
taken In by the game the fact is worth
recording, merely as a solace to recipients
OF similar packages. The victim In this
instance is a saloon keeper owner Of
desirable corner lot whereon he irrigates
the thirsty multitude. The lot was for
sale and one day a smart looking young
man entered and began negotiations for
its purchase.
They could not agree upon a price. Tho
owner thought that he ought to get S75,-
600 for 1t. The agent did not believe the
parties he represented would give more
than $65, 900. The caller went away with
a promise to return. He came back in a
few days and several other visits fol-
lowed.
The diverse figures Of buying and SELL
ing came closer together. One day
couple of surveyors appeared and began
to run lines all around the place. When
asked what they were doing, one Of them
replied: 1--WE were told to come here
and survey the property. l think it was
by some fellow who is going to buy it."
A few days later the young man sp-
peared. bargain was concluded at S7O,-
purchaser paid 800 in cash to bind the
bargain and took a receipt. time was
set when the deed and the purchase
money should be forthcoming
Two days afterwsrd another men ap-
peared. After much talk he informed the
saloon keeper that he had been sent by
a big syndicate that had bought several
lots on the block, and must have this
one.
When told that the corner had been sold
he was frantic. After much more talk he
made this proposition, that II the saloon
man could get out Of his contract in some
way the syndicate would give him $4,000
in cash. They we're so sure Of It that their
plans had been made and the block sur
veyed and now they must have it.
To make a long story short, the owner
found his first friend, paid him $1,000 in
cash to cancel the agreement and handed
him back the 500 paid in. Then he sat
down to await the return Of the agent of
the syndicate.
That was several months ago and he is
waiting for him yet.

No woman no matter how poor she may
be, who lives within the confines Of GER
tain territory in New York City, need be
without help in her household duties any
more-that is, provided the present state
of things in that section continues. She
can call to her aid a man of-all-work who
will perform any service she requires. and
all she will have to pay is one penny.
There is a youth Just verging on man
hood who patrols the section every morn
ing regularly, going into the yards
and calling out at the top of his voice that
he will do any kind Of work for one cent"
Many housewives in flats who do not keen
a servant find this youth exceedingly use
full. They get the hardest part of their
work done quickly and cheaply and do not
have to contend with many annoyances
consequent on keeping a girl in a small
fiat. Most persons who employ the youth
give him more than a penny, but he does
not seem to expect any more.
The strenuous American girl had an
other inning in one Of the suburbs Of New
York the other afternoon. She was re-
turning from the high school which she
attended, with her books under her arm.
when her attention was attracted bv the
spectacle of an italian peddler numerically
beating with a spade an enaciated horse
hitched to an overloaded wagon. The
Italian was trying to beat the horse up
steep hill, but the horses starved condi-
tion was such that the feat was impossi-
BILE for him, hard as he tried.
Let that horse alone" the high school
girl said in a quiet tone to the Italian
stepping over to his side.
The italian turned and said something
to her in his language which wasn't ex-
actly a benediction, and then went on
pounding the suffering animal.
'I'll give you just one minute to un-
hitch that horse from that wagon" re-
marked the high school girl to the Italian
taking a little enameled watch from her
belt and gazing at the second hand.
The italian understood English all right
for this time he swore most expressivelv
at the young woman in the English tongue
She didn't pay any attention to his
swearing but kept on looking at her watch.
When the minute was up and the Italian
was still beating the horse. she delib-
erately tucked her watch into her belt
placed her books on the curb. went to the
back Of the peddler's wagon, took a club
which she found there, approached the
| Italian and laid his head open and stretched
him out senseless in the road with a busi-
nesslike blow of the club. Then she un-
hitched the horse from the cart led him
to the brow Of the hill and tethered him
to tree, returned and got her books and
went home. The Italian had her before
q magistrate on the following day
Good GIRL" said the magistrate, when
the italian had hissed his story and de-
manded vengeance Bully good girl

NJ Judgment and interest rendered
against the railway in the Fort Smith
federal court one year ago. the case
having been affirmed in the United
States supreme court about three
weeks ago. This is supposed to Dc
the largest amount ever given for per-
sonal injury in Arkansas, FURRY
while working as a locomotive nre'

Springdale three years ago, his lower
limbs being so badly burned as 10

compound fracture of the skull. Inc

caused by the failure of an operator
to deliver orders to the train upon
which Furry was fireman. The Frisco
road set up the defense that fireman
and an operator are fellow-servants.
Furry received a verdict for sixteen
thousand dollars. The case was taken
to the court of appeals and thence to-
the supreme court of the United
States, both the higher courts sustain
ing Judge Rogers decision.
