A man in a neighboring town who
secured his wife through a matri-
monial agency is trying hard to get
divorce, says an exchange. Just
another instance of finding that mail
order bargains are not just as rep
resented, and that much better
been obtained at home. Good enough
for him; he ought to patronize home
industry. The home grown 'ticle
is usually the best.

him of his hoard. But nobody was
arrested For whatever happens in
this street there are not many arrests,
unless half a dozen policemen are on
the spot at the time. The occupants
half murder each other at times, but
no one who valued his life would give
information to the police.
What can be done with 1t? If you
pull it down as the Shoreditch rock
cry was pulled down, the inhabitants
will migrate elsewhere. An intelli-
gent police officer suggested that the
scores of don t-worke" who live in

army and made to serve for ten years.

are released from Jail they run back
to their old street, and there they con-
coct new plans for wrongdoing.

when they enter the street. But
while they are struggling in the
whirlpool the lights vanish. The oc-
cupants turn out their own lamps,
and if the policemen get out uninjured
they consider they have had good
time. The chances are that beer
bottle flung round doorway, or a

Especial Correspondence

Go down the street and glance in
some of the doOrways, and you will
be Mortified. On the one side is a
long, barracklike row of houses, from
every window Of which, as you walk
along, an unEempt head is thrust.
Each contains family. and each fam
lily takes predatory interest in
strangers.
On the other side of the narrow
street are wretched twO-story dwell
ings. The ground floor windows of q
number of them are boarded up. You
are about to thank goodness that such
places are shut up, when you cast
your eye up, and find head at each
window above. Most of the heads are
women's heads, and half the women
are nursing thieves babies. Both the
four-story and the two-story novels
are let by the room. A few families
have two rooms, and take in dodgers.
Police Terrorized.
Into this backwater thieves and
such women have drifted on the ed
dies, until the place is full of them.
Now and then the backwater be-
comes a whirlpool. for there is a pub
lie house at each end, and one in the
middle, and the men and women often
get drunk. Then the policemen do
not venture down the street alone
for the occupants dread and hate the
police. and when excited throw at
them whatever comes handy.
There are perhaps dozen lamps
down the street. Toward Saturday
