a pinching one between Omaha n
Sioux City, with the odds in favor of
Omaha. In the American association
Indianapolis leads by an eyelash, with
four teams in line for the final victory.
With the closing days of the race
trouble always come from the tailend-
ers. Il is a matter of record that
teams which rate along in last places,
easy victims for all corners until a
few weeks before the finish, have a
~disagreeable, II misunderstanding
habit of rearing up and ~lambasting the
life out of the leaders in the closing
days of the season. This injection Of
the element of uncertainty increases
the ardor of the fans and serves to
add to the general interest in the
greatest of all outdoor games.

In Nassau street there is a little old
brick building of four stories which shelters
the offices of a legal firm founded by the
grandsire of the senior partner, who
opened his office in the same building. For
three generations his successors have prac-
tieed there. No elevators are run in the
building; there isn't space for them. The
floors, all of which are occupied by the
firm, are reached by short flights OF mar
row stairs. The building is so tiny that
there are no Railways, the rooms, two on
a floor only, opening into each other, men,
bers of the firm, clients and clerks being
practically together In ore happy family.
The state of the business is such that the
occupants could easily afford more COM
modious quarters, but ii is said to be the
wish Of the present partners to continue
their practice as they began It. keeping

He said: 81 have only been here a little
more than a year, but I'm conducting this
car and showing the wonders of the city
to strangers. Last fall we took a crowd
of New York society people out on a sight
seeing tour. You would nave been aston
ished to discover how little they know
about New York. Outside Of their calling
lists, the churches they attend and the
theaters, they know almost nothing. Their
curiosity was unbounded. They wanted to
know who lived in every house We passed.
They seemed to be hungry to learn some
thing which their manner of living had de-
MED them of. They had a curiosity to find
where people lived who were not in their
social list. They actually did not know the
names of streets.
Il never conducted such a curious party.

know that we were hauling around all

New York City is the great emporium of
the American continent for Junk" And
this junk includes a vast variety of once
valuable things, such as marble and gran
lite palaces, iron and brick, six, eight and
even ten-story buildings, locomotives, ferry
boats street cars, granite paving blocks,
steel rails, bottles. scrap metal, firearms
and secondhand clothing.
The secondhand building material market
has been unusually busy with Out-of-town
orders this summer. This has been partly
due to the extensive destruction OF build
ings in Manhattan to make way for great
skyscrapers. There has not been an equiv
alent demand for this material within the
city boundaries, and most of it has been
shipped away. Some of it will add greatly
to the splendor of the small cities to which
it goes, where the stone and iron fronts of
these old New York buildings will rise
again just as they were here.

There is much talk of blight-proof
muskmelon varieties, and some are an
nually sent out with that claim, but it
is safe to say that even reasonably
bightresistant melon has not yet ma
terialized. The quest Is not by any
means hopeless as individual plants
vary to some extent In their power to
resist infection, so that careful selec-
tion may eventually isolate a good va
riety that can be depended on to a
greater extent than those we now have.

Feeding Wild nfmaIa.

Raising alfalfa to furnish winter feed
for wild animals is proving a great sue
cess In the Yellowstone National Park.
One hundred tons Of fine hay have been
harvested in the government field near
the Gardiner arch and stacked near the
soldiers quarters. Three years ago a
deec was seldom seen in the vicinity of
Mammoth Hot Springs and as an ex-
pertinent few bales of alfalfa hay
were scattered near the parade ground.
The next day a dozen blacktal deer
made their appearance, the number
steadily increasing and now comprises
over 100 The animals quickly lost all
fear Of human beings and are not even
startled by the firing of the evening
gun within 100 yards of them, but show
much more interest in the lowering OF
the flag from the staff in the middle
of their feeding ground.
