STRAY TOPICS FROM "
LITTLE OLD NEW YORK. :

New York. The Americans, as

TO the verge of hysteria and the New
Workers. living fast and furiously,
with the high-speed lever in the top
notch all the time, are probably more
so than the inhabitants of any other
city or part of the country. Like all
high-strung people they crave excite
ment and strong emotions, and be-
tween the stage, the pulpits Brook
lyn bridge and Wall street, they gen.
orally get what they crave 1t is
perfectly appalling what tremendous
amount of hysterical sentiment and
sympathy is wasted in New York every
day. Upon certain occasions the flood
of sentiment rises so high and the peo-
pie become so hysterical in the mani
festation of their feelings, joyful or
otherwise, that the city, to an outsid-
er. occasionally visiting New York,
makes the impression of a big luna
tic asylum,
After a visitor has seen and heard
the crowds on Herald Square, around
old Trinity church and all along
Broadway on New Years eve, it will
be difficult to convince him of the
sanity of the people. 1t must appear
to them like Bedlam turned loose.

like a lot of silly and boisterous kids
and make such consummate fools OF

This hysterical tendency of the New
Workers forms a valuable asset in the
