For Real Fun This Slide
Beats the Cellar Door

Talk about the joys Of sliding down
cellar doorsl Why, it's nothing to the fun
that lot Of East Side youngsters are having
just now sliding down an earth embank-
ment at the southwest corner Of the Bowery
and Delancey street into cellar.
Delaney street, as everybody knows.
has been widened from the Bowery to the
East River TO make q wide approach to
imposing in its spaciousness and impressive
just as il stands, even with no work yet
done upon it's final improvement
All along the southern side. the side on
which the street was widened, remain
through block after block the gaping oel-
lars and the broken cellar walls Of the
hundreds Of houses that were torn down
70 give the street its greater width, the
earth around sloping into these cellar
spaces With all sorts Of CURVES and angles.
from the corner OF the Bowery and Delaney
street the ground has fallen in such a way
as TO make a straight slope with an angle
Of forty-fve degrees and length of twenty
five feet from the very edge OF the busy
Bowery sidewalk to the bottom Of the cellar.
Side youngsters in variegated and pict-
uresque attire slide all day long, while
people stand ran ged along the edge Of
the sidewalk, at this head of the slope,
and in the neighboring excavation and
look on.
OF course, no boy can slide down a raw
earth bank there's nothing slippery In
that, but they overcome the friction resist
ance that would exist between themselves
and the earth, and incidentally save their
clothes somewhat by aiding down on sheets
Of tin, fragments OF tin roofing such as are
to be found around abundantly. remnants
OF the debris of the torn down buildings.
The boys have these sheets Of tin In all
slzes, from pieces a foot square to pieces
three feet long, and they use them in all
sorts Of ways
Many boys sit on their tin and hold up the
forward end Of It, rolled over their feet,

slide, Plenty Of boys 20 down the elope
on their tin plates on their feet, standing
on II in a crouching position: these ali
doubling the tin up in front and over back
at sharp angle 80 as to cover
and hold their toes. And as fast as
they reach the bottom Of the slope
the boys pick up their tins and climb 70
the TOP Of the hill and slide down again.

The Evil Spirit in the Holy =. T.. ee,.:,. :.
Water Font: a Breton Tale
From TIE French

'Oh' cried the first woman, withdraw
ing her fingers quickly from the basin Of
holy water beside the door OF the church at
Minnegau in Brittany.
Saints and martyrs!' exclaimed a second
while third cried out in fright:
whatever can be the matter?-
With eyes opened wide in astonishment
all three eazed at something strange flut-
tering In the marble basin half full Of holy
water. The sexton, noticing the confusion
approached the group.
"Why. it is a duoklr be exclaimed, as he
looked at the object which had startled the
women.
A duck How should duck get into the
holy water?7 demanded one Of the women.
Then drawing her cape more closely about
her, she added significantly: THAT is no
duck" ...r..
NO. indeed" affirmed another, diving
for her rosary for protection.
And the third added: 1T must be an evil
spirit for sure
But it looks like a duck insisted the
sexton, putting on his glasses. "A young
duckling should say. Now eeeif you don't
think 80, Mother Marounotte.
And quite fearlessly the sexton started to
pick up the little creature out Of the water,
saying softly: Come, little duck, come"
But Mother Marounotte grasped his
arm.
Don't! Don't" she cried. Il tell you
that Is not a duck
What is it?' inquired the sexton, a man
OF little imagination.
SITS the Devil himself cried the second
OF the old women. Yes, that's Just what
IT is another affirmed. "You know he
took the form Of a serpent In the Garden OF
Eden in order to work his evil tricks. so
why should he not be duck In Mnnegau2-
The sexton looked troubled. The logic
was certainly good.
Dear me! saw his forked tongue!' one
OF the women suddenly exclaimed.
BY this time a large group had gathered
about the basin and exclamations OF sur
prise and horror sounded in the little entry
way.
Now the good cure OF the vilssewass .

they made path along which the earth
was packed hard and worn down to a
smoothsurface. Even on such a surface boys
didn't always get clear to the bottom.
They don't all slide on pieces Of roofing
tin; one boy yesterday had for sliding
With the handle missing, and be did very
well with this. Another boy had worn
out dripping pan of large size, in which
likely many turkey and round OF beef
had been cooked, but which was now made
to serve as a sliding pan. The boy sat
down in this and clutched its sides and
slid. and the old dripping pan served this
purpose very well indeed; 1t was, in fact,
one of the be ct sliding pieces on the hill
Down the smoothest OF the sliding places
two boys together managed to navigate
in a butchers basket, one Of the long, deep
kind big enough to hold dozen rib roasts
The two boys could get into it easily, and on
the smooth slide the basket went fairly
we'll.
There never was a cellar door that could
compare with these cellar slides for fun.
