the sun began blistering New York a
few days ago five jolly old mashers
have been pinched. And every one of
them Mapped to be in the monkey
house at the zoo when the law Sloughed
them and they all were guilty of the
same offense-placing shaking arm
about pretty girls waist and scratch
ing their faces with the stubs of wiry
old boards as they endeavored to kiss
them. Four of these free lances of the
monkey houses are now on "the island"
while the fifth was today held in $500
bail. The last transgressor is a tailor,
aged 64, who says he is family man.
He was either affected by the heat, or
else he got the monkey habit. At any
rate he hugged and tickled pretty
Mary Smith," who slapped him and
called a policeman At the hearing
Mary said he was no man. Perhaps she
was going on the theory that 'it takes
nine talors to make a man."
Religion in Park
City Hall park is the scene of some
warmly contested religious arguments
these sultry afternoons, and some queer
theology such as never has been ad-
vanced by any denomination occasion
ally reaches the porch of a passerby's
held daily on the steps of the city hall,
and the words of the speakers furnish
food for thought, Every city has its
professional idlers, and nine out of
every ten of them believe themselves
philosophers seated in the city hall
circle dissecting a sermon and just a
meager conception of the Gnimated
scene may be had.
Evangelist Uses Megaphone
There are many ways of landing an
uppercut on his satanic majesty, but
the newest and most up-to-date meth
cd is by means of the megaphone. The
photograph, with its big brass funnel,
undoubtedly has made some recruits
for hades, but now the ministers are
having their inning. With the meg
there are many novelties in religious
methods as in those of business and
Christian men have proved again and
again that they have ideas quite as
original and effective in their work
as those employed in the realm of busi-
ness. Men of spirit and bravery are
determined that the gospel shall have
hearing. Perhaps the most unique
method employed is that used at the
now famous open air meetings held
daily at Bethune and West streets, at
noon, and led by the Rev. George w.
Alexander, ID. D. BY means of a meg
aphone the Rev. William H. Scott, as
sistant pastor of the North Baptist
church, sings his gospel messages,
thereby reaching hundreds who other
wise would not be able to hear His
voice rings out clear and plain and
can be heard far up the street.
Pup In Pajamas
New York has a dog hospital and
in fact everything under the sun that
Old Tray hadn't. but the other day
when am autocrat of the kennels took
to wearing pajamas the limit was
reached. A girl who is the possessor OF
wlre-haired blue ribbon winner the
other day had the clippers put on him
in order that he would not suffer from
the heat. The dog bounded with joy
at losing his heavy coat. But 1t struck
the girl that the sudden change of her
pettsy might be bad for his constitu-
tion, so she brought forth a worn pink
gingham dress and cut from 1t a suit
of pajamas that should protect dog
gies pinkish skin from the air Not
being In the same class with the Eng
lsh tailor who counts his art with that
OF the painter, the sculptor and the
architect, the girl made these pajamas
rather grotesque affairs. The cute little
