grounds are the finest here

. Here we saw the $1,000 COW
that is kept in a $4,000 pasture
} to give milk for the s2O,OOO,0C(
baby. Good | clSing COW, too
We doi.'Ss think even Dan Nc
Cane could auction her off in
Mo. Valley for that amount al
a sale day. The pasture is q
block right in the center of
Belview Avenue. The outside
fence is common picket fence,
that surrounds the pasture, but
J! for fear somebody might get
near the cow, a wire fence some
six feet high is built inside the
picket fence. The cow is safe
and the twenty million dolla,
baby will be sure to have pure
milk.
Say, after you have seen the
disgusting display of wealth in
j Newport and think of the want
and misery that is in the world,
you go down to the wharf feel
ling a GOOD deal like heing an
anarchist, or socialist or some
thing that will wipe out the
System that makes a few inord-
inately rich and the many poor
poorer. After seeing Newport
we have a greater love for dogs
than we had before. The town
Us a fine place and the homes of
the rich moguls are beautiful,
but you return from a drive
feeling a meanness in Your
heart that wasn't there before
we saw the display of wealth.
We are glad we are a
country editor in small
town, instead of being one
of the scum of the earth
occupying a palace along Bell
view avenue, Newport. We go
down to New York City from
here on the steamer Priscilla.
the finest steamer on Long
Island Sound. We are honestly
glad to get out of Newport and
are really sorry we went to see
it. 1t don't help a mans love
for the rich to see Newport.
New York, June Is, 1905.
Dear Della: We arrived i'm New
York Wednesday morning and
found Frank and his wife costly
located at 1875 West lO4th
street, just two blocks from
Broadway on the west and
three blocks from Central Park
on the east. They have a nice
place: The trip down the
sound from Newport was a
beautiful one. We had the boat
porter wake US up at a o'clock
in the morning so that we
could se:4 'ho sun rise out of
the sea. 1t was a beautiful
sight and worth getting up
early to see. For two hour.
we steamed up the sound in
sight of the beautiful homes
along the shore. We passed
in fine view of President Roose-
velt's place at Oyster Bay. 1t
was a beautiful morning ride
and we surely enjoyed it. We
arrived at the wharf at $50 a.
m. and were met by Frank and
came up to lO4th. AS we were
tired to death almost we did
not do much Of the city that
day, only go down and have our
ticket validated so we can 90
home when we get ready. We
had to go down nearly to the
Flatiron building to have the
ticket fixed, SO we went OF,
down and examined the won
derful building. 1t is located
at the parting of Fifth avenue
and Broadway. and is built in
the shape Of a flatiron, the
point of the flatiron pointing
up both Fifth avenue and Bread.
way. One of the strangest
things about the building is the
effect it has on the wind cur
rents at this point. A slight
wind in any other part of the
city will be a big blow at this
point. At least a dozen times
since this building was built
there has been a peculiar phe-
nomenon presented here. When
the wind blows hurricane
