 The Finlay Family Take Their First
 Sight of It. James Finlay and his wife, whole some old couple from up near Scran- ton, came to town yesterday morning to cross over to Forty-second street and take a Harlem train up through Fitchburg to Franklin, Mass. MT. Fin lay has sister up there. He hasn't seen her for years.
 Now, Mary" said MT. Finlay when they started out, we haven't seen New York, and I don't believe we ought to when Carrie is expecting US. l haven't seen Carrie since she was a little baby" Mrs Finlay said "All right, though she did want to see New York while the big buildings were still standing. T read in the paper that lots of them are likely to fall over and then there won't be any more for us to see. But never mind, James; we will go right through
 They got into Hokoben on the Lack awanna at o'clock yesterday morning. Finlay really was very much amazed at the sight of the sky inc across the river.
 Really. Mary, didn't know it was so fine. Maybe we had better stay"
 Mary said, Remember Carrie, just to see what he would say.
 MT. Finlay said "All right" in his turn.
 Now, James, so as you can watch the buildings, I'll get the baggage checked and tend to things" said the kind-heatred wife. MT. Finlay said 'All right again, and looked and look ed at the wonderful sky line He wan- dered up near the gates.
 Are those the skyscrapers I have been reading about?" he asked the fer ry-man. Did one of them fall over? My! Must have been an awful smash" The gateman said Yes"
 James really was interested, and half relented being in such hurry to see Carrie. He got rather absent-mind- ed and so lost in contemplation that he forget all about Mary and the baggage, and didn't even notice that what he was standing on was a boat. And he didn't notice that the boat began to move. One of the passengers told him all about the building, and MT. Finlay thanked him very much.
 This is where we get off, said the passenger, as MT. Finlay rubbed his neck.
 "Goodnessl Get off what? Well, I SNOW. I didn't know this thing was moving. We'll, I declare! Where do you suppose my wife is?''
 The passenger didn't know. He sug- gested MT. Finlay had better take a seat inside and watch every one come through She would come on the next boat. MT. Finlay thanked him and took a seat.
 Poor Mrs. Finlay was awfully upset when she couldn't find James She hunted all around for him, but MT. Finlay could not be found. The ferry man said he had seen nice white bearded old gentleman dressed in black go through-by Christopher street.
 Yes, that's him. Was he asking about the building that tumbed down?"
 The gatenlan remembered that he had. and Mrs. Finlay, light-hearted once more, went across Christopher street MT. Finlay wasn't there, She waited and waited. Then, when noon hour came and the sad little woman all most depaired, she thought of a police man. The policeman helped her. But they couldn't find James. He suggested they go to the police headquarters. Mrs. Finlay had never heard of such thing as police headquarters, and didn't know what it was for, but the policeman told her about it. She told the sergeant there after being told how to get there, all about James, and how he just dropped out of sight.
 Seven thousand policemen to look for him. Well, I won't worry any more They will find him"
 But she walked all afternoon and went back and forth to Hoboken sev- eral times.
 She told the police over there about it last night. when she was all but dis outraged Detective Fox started out with her. They went over to Christo- pher street again and then took belt line car down to Barclay street. And there sure enough sat James. He was awfully tired, but he was still looking at everybody. He clasped Mrs. Finlay to his breast.
 Goodness, are there two boats?" said MT. Finlay when all was explain- ed.
 Well, James, 1t warn't so bad after all, now that it's all over. I have been around New York quite some and seen lots of sights
 MT. Finlay was pained that he had missed it.
 They thanked a detective who took then to the Forty-second street depot.
 Tell those seven thousand men that MT. Finlay is all right now, and thank , them for me" said Mrs. F'inlay as they waved farewell.--New York World. : COREAN ARCHITECTURE.
