A One-Handed BootbIack.
rom the New York Times.

from the New York Times
 Tony, the one-handed bootblack at Yorkville Court, has issued a challenge to all two-handed bootblacks whom 1t may concern. In spite of his physical handicap Tony says he is willing to hack himself as the winner in a shoe-shning contest and if such a contest should be arranged his advice to his friends will be Play Tony straight to win.''
 Tony has been shining shoes in tho Yorkville Court for many years His one handed shines are just as bright and just as lasting al the shines of bo@blacks who have two hands. And If new conner with soiled shoes Is skeptical of Tony's ability to produce the necessary polish with neatness and dispatch he will be quickly reassured by the policemen and court officers who know Tony well and have given him the nickes and dimes which have kept hiin alive since he started his stand in the main corridor of the police court long ago.
 Just how Tony lost his left hand no one at the court seems to know Tony does not like to speak of his infirmity, and the policemen do oot wish to wound his feelings by inquiry. Neither do they know his name. Tony the bootblack is the only name they know him by
 Most of Tony's work is done, of course. with his one good hand. With it he ham dles the brush. smears on the paste. and only when all is ready for the final polish does his stump of a left arm come into play. In one end of his polishing cloth Tony has a circular hole. through which he inserts the stump. And with the other end of the cloth grasped tigtly in his right hand he manipuates it as skillfully as does the best bootblack in the city.

COMMERCIALISM
BY MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.

they have no respect for the virtues they have been hired to practice.
 The old-tme friendships which prompt ed men to lay down their lives for their friends is almost non-eXistent. For serv- ices formerly rendered gratutously by one friend to another are today given on the basis of a per cent commission, ac- cording to the importance of the service
 Few are allowed to be under obligations beyond the Closing of the deal' or end of the interview. the labors of a friend in countless cases being nothing more than talk with the party who must be seen in the interest of your friend. Advice is the most expensive luxury in w...ch one can indulge, notwithstanding 1t may be proven to be i'll or useless.
 In every household domestic service has to twice paid for If one has things well done First you agree to pay certain wages for the performance of specified duties; you give board and room to the employe and in a brief time you dis cover that you are expected to give fees, presents of all kinds if they daily perform their duties satisfactorily or are asned to do any extra thing.
 Somebody Is at fault for the introduc- ton of this kind of graft. Recently a lady invited few friends to dinner. The menu was arranged by the mistress really little more than the mistress of the kitchen cooked every day; the only difference being in the quantity necessary

 me cook, an artist in her profession, was delighted to have an opportunity to display her art but informed the mistress she must have five dollars extra for cooking the dinner, saying 1t was cus- tomary now for the regular cook in a family to have extra for cooking lunch cons and dinners for company" because that was the price paid for outside cooks who came into ths house to cook for such occasions.
 The butler informed the mistress ke must have two dollars extra ito serve the dinner for comparE," making a total of seven dollars dehanded by house. hold servants employed " the month and eacn paid regularly an eXorbtant prics for their work
 In the average hotel tie fees to walters | bellboys. elevator boys, maids and porters are simply outrageous If you ask for a pitcher of water the boy will stand and stare at you until vol give him a fee, and if it is less thai a quarter of a dollar he never thinks of expressing his thanks. All these things are commercial propositions and make bne's life burden. Thanksgiving. Christnas, Easter. brith- days and holidays are lall occasions to be dreaded because of the commercialism which enters into tie pleasure which 
 might otherwise be enjoyed.
 Behind all movements for the advance ment of civilization ah Christianity there Is commercalism In ls worst form Vol untary service in anYgood cause is rare. Persons may pose hs volunteers, but before they have dons much they betray their greed and the need of money to secure ther contnuatiln in the field. Great schemes are presened daily for the evangelization of the ewhole world, but 1t Is soon found they Ire dependent upon the amount of monej that can be raised to further them.
 All sorts of athlelcs and sports for the amusement and development of the race must be backed by commercialism, and If the commercialkide Is not we'll man. aged. the club, leagudor association fails, though there may fve been the most sl.illful actors on thdist of members.
