NEW YORK CHARACTER WITH
A PATHETIC LIFE STORY.

I 1t was a hard blow, and it was I'M
expected. Kate didn't write to he1
family. Instead she packed up her
effects, put them in storage and
started out to look for Tom.
1t was year before she found
him, and during tnat time she had
worked as a scrubwoman and did
odd jobs about a factory. She ran
across him on the street one night
and the two went to- a cheap hotel
together.
There Tom confded that he had
broken into jewelry store, and that
the police were after him. The next
morning they caught him and took
him away. But Bowery Kate did not
falter in her faith. That night she
took 5000 from a safe in the place
in which she was employed, and
hired a lawyer to fight her husbands
case Tom got off, but Bowery Kate
was apprehended, disowned by her
family, and sentenced for grand lar
ceny.
1t was two years before she got
out of jail. In the meantime Tom
had been caught red-handed in a
burglary fracas, and had gone back
behind the bars. Kate didn't steal
again. She got a job sweeping out
an office building. For two years
she labored, saving, scrimping, de-
nying herself food and clothes.
while her little pile of money grew
and grew.
Then Tom was released. Kate
met him, handed him her two years
savings, won at the cost of her flesh
and blood, and went with him to the
cheap hotel. There the first thing he
did was to knock her down, accusing
her of being unfaithfuI.
Kate loved him too much to stand
the charge. Her hand, hard and
sinewy from work, reached an iron
bar that lay on the floor, and when
her blow fell it snuffed out the life
of her husband.
She gave herself up without a MUIR
muir. The trial was hurried through.
Bowery Hates lawyer put in a plea
of self-defense and she was acquit-
ted.
The experience in thereon of the
cheap hotel that fatal night affected
her mind They could never make
her believe that Tom was dead, and
so she is still waiting for him to come
back to her, with the wrinkles in her
cheeks rouged over and a pitiful bit
of ribbon in her yellow hair, for
when Tom comes she must look beau
tiful for him Her position is q hum
Bile one, but she is honest. and those
who know her trust and pity her.

BOWERY KATE

One of the odd characters of New
York is Bowery Kate, whose sad life
story is thus epitomized by the New
York Times:
Not far from where the huge pile
of the Bowery Savings Bank crouch
es sphinxIike, monolithic, in the
heart of the district of congestion
and evil odors, is a tiny tenement
room.
In this room lives woman, a
woman with big, wide eyes and yell
low hair streaked with gray. She
is not a pretty woman. The flush of
youth is supplanted by a dab of the
color that comes from the corner
drug store. There are lines about
her eyes. deep, hard lines, the lines
of suffering. Her hands are thin and
red. but over all the marks of time
and trouble stands forth, almost Of
fensively, an evident attempt at at
Effectiveness, for this woman is still
coquette, waiting for the man she
sent to his grave almost score OF
years ago.
We will call her BOwery Kate.

Then came Tom. Tom mas peeu
dead a long time now, and we DO not

1t is not believed that the law will

with dissatisfaction.
The motive behind its adoption was
to rid elections of the floating ele-

voters who care little for the side
they espouse, but who are often used
with great effect in times of great
political excitement 1t will also be
a bar to 'colonizing," as no politi-
clan would take the risk of support
ing a nonresident six months in or

Uncle Sam the Dealer.
The whiskey dealer who sold the
goods was none other than Uncle
Sam, who knows no prohibition laws
The sale was conducted by his ser
wants, local revenue officials. It was
held on his exclusive domicile-the
lawn facing the postoffice.
The liquor was seized for various
causes during the last several
months, and the sale had been well
advertised. The coming YuIetide
led hundreds to seek their holiday
I booze at prices below Chattanooga
quotations. Competition thus engen-
dered resulted in the government be-
ing paid prices that almost equal
those charged by the blind tigers.
Most of the whiskey was in bar
rels or kegs, ranging from eight to
nifty gallons to the package. Entire
casks were sold at the time, and they
brought from $3.50 to 1915 a gal
lon, which, considering the quality
of the goods, were splendid prices.
Many parties were formed and big
packages purchased to be distributed
in smaller lots. The bidding was
lively and excitement so great that
the police department was called on
| to preserve order.

opinion is general that, before the pub

he was in 1906, when, it is conceded,
he had the opposition badly fright

beaten from the start. This year both

that he is likely to give any candidate

This opinion is entertained, because
