 Well, Duchess and me starts for de place to see me fren, but we stops on our way to take Q peek at me moddel' and Mrs. Murphy. When she hears where we are chasing to, Mrs. Murphy says, "Johnny'll stay good. ! seen him de odder day and me knowing his modder I asks him how he was find ing it. He tells me dat de wages was better, and de woik lighter being good, dan being crooged. Dcre's many q man and woman comes down here tn preach, dat would save more souls if dey understanded how many poor creatures goes bad because dey tir ks de wages is higher: and how many would go good if dey kncw dat de wages was better-and belongs to de man or woman what earna em. Had you seen de poor slip of q goil-not more dan seventeen-your modder and me gives a place to sleep here last night! We got her in de hospital dis morning, but she's coming here to help us when she's out"

 Me modder and Murphy is doing so well, wit all de laundry woik Miss F; nrie gets for em, dat dey is getting cfesty, and is going to have two rooms to live in after dis month.
 But dat wasn't what l was going to tell you. When we gets to de office building, and I'd give de starter a knockdown to Duchess, she says, "Is |. 1t of a verity what my husband say. dat it cost nothing to go up in de as censeur?"
 I've makes TO charge, Ma'am,' says de starter, giving me de wink. But dere is lot of brokers and divoicc lawyers in dc building, so Iwont say dat it don't cost noting to go up in dis building. But Ma'am, if you and Chimnie isn't looking for a divoice and hasn't q dead sure tip you're going to play on stocks. why, it won't cost you cent, to go up. or down.
 He gives us key to de door dat lot us out nn dc roof. and we left de elc- vator at it's last stop and makes for de loof.

"P'che,:" and My. my.' and Wow" and wondered wedder l was to knock de picture or press aSalnSt II. De artis toins round and sees Duchess linking like the picture was so fine 1t nearly blinded her; and me catching on says, "Can you beat it? De finest ever.
 Den de artis says something in Frcnch-Duchcss was on dat he was a forncr-and we was soon gazing gally- gaily: Duchess explaining to me what he said an:d de foist ting I knowed de ting happened dat Duchess way play ing fer de mug asks US would we lunch wid him.

 Well, when we'd rode up and down in de elevator a dozen times for Duchess to get her fill of free snap dough it makes her sick-we went on our way, and in de street she tells me dat de artis was a top-liner, for fair: dat she'd read in de papes about him. and dat dc picture was wort good poodle.

Dcre's a fren of mine what used to be de champeen lightweight of Pow erty Hollow-dat'S east of de BoWery. near where de new Williamsburg bridge comes in-but he was took good. and has a job running elevator in a mile high office building near Wall street. Duchess was never dat far down town. except when she landed. so I says to her on our day off, "come. |" I says, " and see boid's-eye view of America, and part of Brooklyn" l says, so dat when you get lost you will know where you are at
 ''Is dere no charge for rising in de elevator?" Duchess asks.
 All women is alike, but a French goil is more alike dan odder women Dere is just two kinds of tings dey wants most; tings dat cost noting and tings dat cost more dan dey have de price for. Oats de reason dey likes diamonds and free shows. When l tells her dat one of de elevators in de building was run by a fren of mine, and tat de starter was q felly dat knows, and wouldn't fire us if we rode up and down all day, Duchess was croisy to be on her way.
 Being French she taught dat dere was a charge for to ride in de elevator; like dere is in Paris. Are you on to dat, Say, in de little hotel we stopped at in Paris dere was a dinky little lift. what dey called re ascenseur, and dere was charge for to ride down in it, but none to ride up. and you had to run it yourself
 Dis is no business I says to Duch- ess when I was put wise on de game. Why dis price to ride down, and no price to ride up2'
 She told me dat was because when you rode down in it de office had to send man to fetch de ting to you, but when you rode up, you fetched it up yourself. Say, wouldn't it take forn French mug to dope out game like dat?
 I used to walk down and ride up. and de house near went croisy al me beating de game.
 But I was gong to tell you about me fren de lightweight who went good. He was one of de woist lads dat ever lived in de district. and de perlice was onto him, and willing to put him into de fighting game in style, when he got a little elevator; and de precinct boss used to give him a gang of fioaters to repeat at de polls every election; and dere was a few tings dat brought fame and reputation in de district dat wasn't his. But he went good.

 But de bug was in his coco, and dere was no use talking to him-he went good.
 He comes to me one day, and he says, "Chimmie. I'm going good"

 "I want noting but a job" he says.

PUMPS ARE AT WORK
At LEVEE BUILDING
ON WEST SIDE FLAT
Ma 1ufacturers Plan to Utilize
the River Front From Robert
Street to Point Opposite In
dian Mounds for Factories.

Operations were commenced last
Monday upon what, when completed,
will reclaim for manufacturing and
railroad purposes nearly every foot OF
land comprising what is known as the
West Side flats.
The scheme is to construct of sand a
river wall extending from the Robert
street bride to a point opposite Indian
Mounds park, distance of nearly four
miles. The river wall, which will be
constructed of sand pumped from the
bed of the Mississippi river, will be
high enough to overcome the ordinary
flood stage.
The principal parties behind the
scheme are the Rock Island Railroad
company, which proposes to use much
of the ground for trackage purposes,
but a number of real estate concerns
and several manufacturers are inter-
ested and they will make use of the
ground when it is permanently shut off
from the annual foundations.
One of the big companies that will
build is the American Hoist and Der
rick company, which is now clearing
and bringing up to grade barren
waste of sand just east of Robert
street. It is said the company will
cover the ground with a large building
which will be an addition to its al
ready large manufacturing plant.
The big sand pump has been throw
ing UP tons of the river bed since last
Monday and the flats are already be-
ginning to show the effects The
ground is being made as level as ia
BILE and will be an inviting spot for
manufactures when completed.
This Scheme OF a river wall to shut
off the annual raids of the river has
been repeatedly proposed to the coun-
ell, but nothing was ever done. Bonds
were issued at one time, but the money
was diverted to other purposes.

CITY HALL BO()NS
ITS CANDIDATE
Miss Goven Takes Second
Place in the Contest for
Carnival Queen.

The contest as to who shall be queen
of the carnival is becoming interesting.
Yesterday Miss Jessie Govern, the
city hall candidate, forged from fourth
to second place, while Miss Buckley,
who has practically kept that position
ever since she entered the contest. was
forced to third place.
The lead is still held by Miss Louise
Turtle but if the same pace is main
tanned by her rivals that was estab-
lished yesterday she will soon hate to
look to her laurels. Probably the
largest number of votes received since
the contest opened, was collected when
the ballot boxes were opened yester-
day afternoon, and the surprises were
as many as the increase In number.
The individual ballots cast yester-
day were Miss Turtle, 140; Miss Buck
ley, 149; Miss Goven. SIS; Miss Marks,
So Miss Davis, AZ; Miss Hunt g. and
Miss Miller. %.
In the selection of Miss Helen A.
Marks as their candidate the labor
unions are displaying an activity that
means much for that young woman's
chances. They are canvaSSing their
people thoroughly and every union in
the city has pledged her it's support.
While every bulletin board in the
city has posted each morning the re-
suit of the count, the carnival asso
ciaiton only guarantees that displayed
at the carnival headquarters at Sixth
and Cedar streets. Here the count is
displayed, signed by the committee in
charge and is accurate. Each morning
it is surrounded by the friends of the
candidates and comments are nunrer-
