Loyalty is that quality which
prompts a person to be true TO the
thing he undertakes II means def
mite direction, fixity OF purpose. 10y
atty supplies power. poise, purpose,
ballast, and works for health and sue
cess.
Nature helps the loyal man.
! II you are careless, slip-shod, indif
! ferent, Nature assumes that you wish
TO be a nobody and grants your
prayer.
Loyalty, in one sense, Is love, for II
! is form OF attraction.
| A vacillating mind is sick mind in
sick body. Vacillation is lack Of
lloyalty-and il is a disease.
| Loyalty is not mere matter Of brain
capacity; success does not go 10 those
who know the most-it gravitates q
those who are true TO the cause they
undertake. This one thing | do"
No man has ever lived who had an
equal loyalty toward every department
OF life. and IL a person is absolutely
loyal toward one he does well. II he
can show himself equal 10 being true
to several, he is a genius. The more
worthy things to which you are loyal
the greater you are.
There are lawyers who deceive
clients. public and court when oppo'
tunity offers, yet who are loyal to the
interests OF their families. Yet a
lawyer may be true TO his profession
and false TO his wife.
| Jean Jacques Rousseau was SO de

he deliberately placed his children ia
an orphan asylum. and forsook them
utterly. that he might follow bis mis-

Edgar Allen Poe was true 10 "the
poetic principle" but false TO his body,
for he persisted in putting an enemy
into his mouth 10 stealo away his
brains. So did Daniel Webster. who
was woefully lax in regard 10 the
rights Of his shoemaker, but was faith
full TO the tapster.
J Turner was loyal 10 his art, and had

maxim that may be true as regards
war but never as TO love
Love is founded on faith. and he
who violates faith yitiates his own ma
ture and wrecks the venture.
Loyalty Is for the one who Is loyal
1t is a quality woven through the very
fabric OF ones being, and never a
thing apart.
Loyalty makes the thing to which
you are loyal yours. Disloyalty re-
moves it from you.
Whether any one knows of your
disloyalty is really OF little moment
either one way or the other. The real
point is, how does it affect ourselves?
Work Is for the worker.
Love Is for the lover.

The mental is a man who is disloyal
TO his work
All useful service is raised TO the
plane OF art when love for the task
-loyalty-is fused with the effort.
No man ever succeeded In business

week after week the great audience room was much too small to hold those who tried for admittance. With out an exception the press declared the circus to be the best ever seen at the Garden. and the biggest surprise in amusement affairs in twenty-five years.
 The wonderful Schumann horses, which drink from glasses, waltz on their hind legs and roll each other about in huge beer barrels. is one of the acts that surprises. The Arthur Saxon trio of strong men is another sensation. One of the trio lifts a weight of a ton and a half The other two form the under structure of a bridge over which passes an automobile with six passengers.
 Roblidello, the wonderful Mexican wire walker, and the heart-stopping double somersaulting automobile act of young French girl are others of the big numbers. The rest of the show is in keeping with these big acts. There is more novelty in one performance of this show than all the other circuses have introduced in twenty years.
 In the parade. llamas, Zebras. ele- plants and camels are driven and managed like horses. There are a dozen bands. 1,2S6 people, 65O horses and big menagerie displayed in open dens.

through the fact that in building the Williamsburg bridge across the East river, between Manhattan and Brook lyn, the city took all of q certain piece of property on the Manhattan side facing the bridge except a narrow rib bon of land three and a half feet wide and sixty-seven feet long. It was obviously impossible to erect any kind of an ordinary structure on this re- markable lot and there were no ,ad- joining property owners to whom 1t could be sold. The landholder was rescued from his dilena by an archi- tect friend, who proposed the erection of a huge fence fifty-five feet high to extend the whole length of the lot. This plan has been adopted and the surface of the fence will be rented for the display of advertisements. It occupies an advantageous position for this purpose since it faces the bridge, over which hundreds of thousands of persons pass. Thus from his diminu- tive holding the owner of the lot will get a surface area of something less than one-tenth of an acre whic6 he can rent and from which he will re- ceive an income of s150 a month, or as much as a good-sized city house brings
 A novel and interesting sight was presented to passersby on the water front this week. and one which is now so uncommon that few persons ever witness it. Arrivals of record break ing ocean liners have become so com mon as to attract little attention, while craft from all sorts of remote corners of the world call forth no com ment whatever when they enter. the harbor. Nevertheless, it was the presence in the river of a ship--the Portsmouth, launched in 1S43 and once fighting machine of the United States navy-which held the attention of spectators along the harbor front A fullrigged ship with royals set, sailing up the river, though an uncom- mon enough sight fifty years ago. is now so rarely seen here that the Ports mouth aroused as much discussion as would a genuine sea serpent should one appear. She is a last relic of the good old sailing days before the com ing of steam when American mer- chantmen and clippers led the world She might indeed have posed as the consolidated spectre of the ships that will never come again. She is now used as a training ship for state militia.

 The performances here will be in detail exactly the same as presented in Madison Square Garden in New York, where night after night and

state. In the case of realty, however, which cannot conveniently move across the North river, the total price set upon New York's area, now amounting to six and one-half billions of dollars, invites some striking comparisons. For instance, it is larger than the com bined valuation of the ten cities com ing next in population after New York. It is greater than the total wealth of Spain. Belgium, Holland or any except the six leading Foreign nations. It is greater than the debt of any nation in the world and constitutes roughly one fifteenth of the total wealth of the United States. In the light of these statistics 1t seems even more remark able that Father Knickerbocker with this enormous sum to draw upon finds it so difficult to pay his heavy running expenses and to make the inn provements that are demanded of him.
 For at least few nights in the near future Broadway's fame as the Great White Way will be comparatively dimmed by the brilliance of Fifth avenue. This will be during the at Allt tih of the present month. A feature of the celebration will be a series of night parades and for these night will liter ally be turned into day along the street of the Four Hundred. From Washington arch to Central park the avenue will be festooned on both sides with strings of electric lights, in addi- tion to its ordinary illumination. More than twenty-five thousand electric lamps will be employed, with total candle power of nearly a quarter million. The lights, which are to be strung from poles twenty-five feet high set 100 feet apart, will form only one feature of the decorations. From each pole will float the orange, white and blue flags, which is the official emblem of the celebration. Festoons and garlands of flowers will form an almost continuous bower along the line of march, the whole being thrown into strong relief by the brilliant illumina- tion. In test of the lighting arrange ments two blocks were illuminated q few night ago with the result that
 it was possible to read newspaper
 in any part of the street. Electrical illumination is to be made q leading element of the Hudson Fulton celebra- ton in alt its parts. but probably no other feature will equal the beauty of
 the city's most fashionable thorough fare when decked out for its part in the pageant.
 A fence is usually a source of ex-
 pense rather than an income-producer but New York is about to have one which not only win be unique in this
 respect. but will yield its owner the handsome revenue of $500 a year ! There have been many instances of spite fences. erected to exclude unde- sirable neighbors or to force the sale of property. and some of these have been of unusual dimensions, but this is the first case on record of a fence
 of such proportions built purely as an investment. Its erection comes about
