| Now it is keep off the grass or run

athletic man or boy may easily leap
over it. So it is not an absolute pro-

Yet it is a dangerous thing. Children
romping home from. school may
thoughtlessly push one another against
the sharp barbs. Sometimes men
wander that way in condition of dis
turbed equilibrium-not necessarily
from drink, maybe cases of vertigo
otherwise induced-and there is always
liability of such coming into contact
with the barbed wire. Again, people
the mistake OF seeking Tie

1t will be remarkable if some voters

of the board are not hurt upon this

observation-disclosures ramblers in
this great city need never go home
hungry, if they feel the pangs of appe-
tite demanding food before they retire
and are fearful lest the pantry at
home will not furnish material for
smack" There are in the borough
nearly. if not fully. 100 all-night restau-
rants-places that never close their
doors. OF course, that number is
small when compared with the list
of allnight Joints in Manhattan, but
Brooklyn is essentially a city of
homes, and the wonder is that SO
many places find it profitable to keep
open day and night.
Naturally the summer season is the
best for this class of restaurants. The
surrounding beaches attract multi
tudes of visitors at night, and the late
trolleys carry full loads to various
parts of the borough. With it's vast
network of street railways, Brooklyn
has scores of transfer points, and it is
notable that one or more all-night res
taurants are to be found located near
almost every one of such points. The
returning merry-makers are generally
hungry, unless they have eaten at one
of the seashore resorts, and it is often
the case that the cost of meals at the
beaches is extortionate, or the food
served by them is not tempting. The
restaurants that keep their doors open
at all hours, though they may not
equal the best, are almost invariably
clean and inviting. and meals that
would satisfy the ordinary appetite
are served.
Places Serve Good Food
Without Putting on FriIls.
In the downtown district the all
night eating places are the most nu-
merous. Beginning at the Brooklyn
bridge, or near it, one may follow the
regular channels of travel and find
plenty of places where the wants of
the inner man are attended to in vari-
GUS styles At this season of the year
shell-fish-clams, Holsters, crabs and
even oysters-are in the greatest de-
mand and there are places where
such food is prepared in a very tempt
ing manner. There may be no nap
kins; the dishes may be of heavy
earthenware instead of china and the
''siiverware" so worn that the brass
beneath is plainly visible, but the
''soft-shells" are done to a turn, and
although the place may have no sa-
Icon license, one can always get a
bottle of cold beer to wash down the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1906-09-08
MUSINGS OF DADDY
HE BOWS IN HUMILITY BEFORE
ATOM OF INFANCY.
Contrast Between Their Positions Al
most Too Painful to Dwell Upon
The Difference in Thirty
Years of Life.

As / look into the blue eyes of my
baby boy 1 am humbled and ashamed.
In age 1 am so years his senior, and
yet 1 am painfully conscious that in
wisdom he is immeasurably my sl-
perior.
What have I gained in 80 years Of
life that he is not better off without?
I have no more hair than he. In that
we score equally; but at every other
point he has the advantage of me.
1t is true that 1 have tasted pleas
ues with which my boy is unacquaint-
ed, but neither has he experienced the
disappointments and regrets which ac-
company them; and 50 that account
also is squared. He dresses better
than I, but he is rich and can afford it.
1 work like a heather coolie; travel
in sleepless sleepers and deny myself
needful raiment that he may repose
in idleness and be clothed in white
and spotless linen. What emperor
was ever more of tyrant; whose
slaves more numerous and servile?
Everybody loves my boy. Does ev-
cry one love me? Does every woman
and young girl I meet yearn to kiss
and smother me with affectionate
caresses? have not observed it.
Is the germ fighting apparatus of
the modern hospital employed in the
preparation of my food and my toilet?
No, 1 am pursued by unfriendly mi
crobes and invite diseases at every
lunch counter. My boy is antiseptic.
He is immune.
My boy is fearless.
While my education and experience
and knowledge have taught me to be
a coward, he is wiser than that, for
he Knows instinctively that no harm
can come to him, and so no real harm
does or can come to him. He is help
less and unafraid.
Does the insecurity of my position
or even of life itself cause him any
anxiety? No, these things do not dis
turb his infantile slumbers.
1 can worry about such trif1es if I
like, but it takes something more Sc
rious than death or financial disaster
to move him to tears. Take away his
bottle for moment, and you will see
what a real calamity is.
In 80 years 1 have learned some
thing of good and evil, and knowing
nothing of either, he has no trouble
some responsibility in the matter.
Yes, my baby boy is wiser than I
wiser than any of us-even Solomon
with all his wisdom, I think, was not
wiser than one of these!-N. Y. Sun.

on, North and other beaches Tho
sea air has sharpened their appetites
and they feel the need of food before
retiring. At the transfer points Of
the various trolley lines, they notice
little eating places, and, as the win
dows are usually made attractive, the
sight tempts them. You will find
them at various points along Fulton
street, clear out to East New York:
along Broadway, in Williamsburg, on
Nostrand, Flushing and Franklin av-
enues, on Washington, Sands and
other streets, not far from the Brook
lyn bridge. and elsewhere
There is place I've noticed, but
have never gone into it. 1t is a high
toned negro joint, where the Afro
American sports congregate. 1t is in
the dark district and is a regular
moke' Delmonico's, with private sup
per rooms where the negro gamblers
take their girls after a killing at
craps and spend their money freely.
1t is undoubtedly one of the most
prosperous places in the borough.
Then there are a lot of Chinese chop
suey joints, where there is nothing do
ing until long after midnight. You
seldom hear of these places, for they
are run quietly, and if there are any
rough house in them, you may depend
upon it the fault is with some unruly
patron who has had more drink than
is good for him before he entered
the Chinaman's place.
"Of the real tough joints that were
some years ago so common in New
York, there is scarcely one left in the
greater city. The police espionage

pie, eats somewheres else" With
that he turned away with a look of
real or simulated disgust.
1.-The bill of fare doesn't seem up
to your standard" ventured a guest.
1T seems to me a very liberal meal
for the money"
well, it amt so worse" responded
the hobo. purity fair fer Brooklyn. but
it amt marker to what you kin get
in some cities. Now, in Cincinnati
there's cheap Joints where they give
a meal that'd fill up any mans stom-
ach fer Is cents, one kind o. meat,
all the bread an butter you kin eat,
two cups o. tea er coffee, apple sass,
fried spuds, beans er cabbage. an
hunk o. pie. What do you think O.
that?"
1T certainly is a liberal spread. 1
don't see how they can do it"
well. they do, an they make good
big money, too. In New Orleans and
San Francisco, the saloons are close
competitors of the restaurants. At
noon they serve delicious meal,
roast beef, excellent potatoes. with
gravy, fresh vegetables, the best
bread and butter, salad and superior
dessert-and they give you drink of
the best whisky, all for 25 cents!"

The man spoke enthusiastically;
his eyes frightened and it was noted
quickly that he had quite dropped his
hobo dialect.

Careworn Knight of the
Road Seeks His Supper.
At the door of this place was no
ticed a queer specimen of humanity,
who had shuff1ed in from somewhere
out of the black night. He stopped in
front of the place and read the at
tractive offer that was portrayed on
the banner. AS the stroller conclud-
ed reading he thrust his right hand
into a pocket of his frayed trousers.
OF years he had perhaps attained 40,
and the finger of time had not dealt
gently with him, for his face was
scanned with wrinkles and he looked
careworn. His clothing was tattered
and his linen-if a grimy shirt that
had not seen laundry in some weeks
might be so dignif1ed-had seen long
usage; his straw hat had great rents
in the crown, through which protrud-
ed an occasional lock of rusty. I'M
kempt hair; his coat was shiny and
worn at the cuffs and elbows; the bot
toms of his trouser legs, too, were
frequent contact of his ankles, and
through holes in a pair of mismated
shoes could be seen more than a sus-
picion of bare toes. His beard was
unkempt and his hands and face were
guiltless of any recent acquaintance
with soap and water.
After a moments meditation the
hobo drew his hand from his pocket,
deposited it's contents into his left
hand and then began systematic
search of his other pockets. The re-
suit was % cents, lead medal, part
of a package of cigarettes and a sus-
pender buckle. He slowly counted his
cash assets and returned the other
articles to his pockets. His resources
were more than sufficient to pay for
the meal which he plainly had in con-
temptation, but he hesitated as he
looked again at the money.

dressing the lone waiter in the place,
