NEW YORK, Nov. 27-"Larry Chit
tenden, the poet-ranchman of Grand
Old Texas, is back on the great white
trail and resuming former friendships
with the other cOw-punchers who herd
along Broadway. So far, Larry and
his "buddies' have shown no inclina-
ton to shoot up the town, and there
is reason to fear that they have be-
come tame and domesticated ombreys,
with no more spirit than sheepmen.
This sad condition of affairs may be
attributed to the ennervating influence
has been sojourning this summer.
Mr. Chittenden will probably leave
next week for Bermuda, the little Brit
ish colony of nineteen square miles,
seven hundred miles out in the Atlantic
which he now calls home. To one
accustomed to the magnificent dis
tances of Texas, where one may ride
all day without reaching the borders
of another county, Bermuda would ap-
pear to be trifie circumscribed, but
the beauties of the islands more than
atone for their lack Of size. The poet
ranchman still owns a ranch in Texas,
however, and has not forgotten the
old stockholders with whom he attain
ed his reputation as bard. His
Ranch Verses" have reached the
thirteenth edition, and are still SELL
ing like hot cakes. No Texas cow
boys outfit is complete without copy
of the little book in which he and his
kind are deifed as the salt of the
earth.
Mr.. Chittenden's latest publication
is a beautiful volume of Bermuda
Verses" published by Putnam's. Not
since Tom Moore was register of the
admiralty of Bermuda, and told Of the
charms of the delectable isles in Tilt
ing ballads that are immortal has any
poet essayed so successfully the pleas
ing task of singing Bermuda's praises.
Mr.. Chittenden is the owner of one
of the most beautiful of the white
coraline houses which add a human
touch to the lavish natural display
of Bermudian scenery, and Larry S
Lodge" has become a Mecca for the
| thousands of tourists who annually
visit the colony This winter he will
probably have to work over time in
entertaining admiring pilgrims, as the
nrospects are that the little group of
| islands "forty-five hours from Broad
way" will have an unprecedented rush
OF tourists. The S,000-ton Oceana OF

Pointers Or Irrigation

pire after the last two weeks in Oc-
tober it is a good time to irrigate
your land, thus storing up supply OF
water against drouth and also to en-
able you to delay the spring irrigation
until the sun and air will counteract
the lowering of soil temperature due
to early spring irrigation. To convince
yourself that the soil is a practical
storage reservoir, select a piece OF
ground with soil say five feet deep
over a clayey subsoil beneath Satur-
ate it with water and let the top crust
dry out one foot in depth. Then pillow
and roll the surface three or four
times and you will find that the top
foot is now the wetter and the bat
tom foot is the dryer. Continue this

should be the utmost judgment dis
played on the part of the older person
who makes the presentation. l may as
well put it plainly-you must say to
yourself when you bring the gentleman
forward, Il can trust him completely"
This is also a moral obligation every
girls owes every other girl. If a girl
finds out that a boy friend isn't just
square with all girls he must be kept
in his place-which isn't in the COM
pany of girls that he seeks to know
through the girl who is aware of his
shortcomings.
AS to the mere politcnesse3 which
concern the word Introduction, they
are SO involved with moral subtleties,
that one scarcely knows where good
form begins and wisdom ends in the
book of etiquette. The book declares
that it is both bad taste and improp-
er to introduce young girl to anybody
without the consent and entire ap-
prevail of her natural guardians. 1t de-
clares that the casual street introduce
ton is both bad taste and menace
to dignity, and that young women who
have been forced into presentations
which they have not desired or ex-
pected, have it entirely in their power

the Metropolitan Opera house on next
Tuesday, and her performances will
be repeated on December and IA.
The full Metropolitan orchestra of $50
will furnish enhancing music, and the
lights and scenic effects will be Of
SURPRISING beauty.
The engagement will serve as an
introduction to New York for Miss
Rita Sacchetto, whose dances are
said to be wonderfully dramatic and
distinctively classic. They are in
spired by paintings of the old mas
tiers and include the Sarabande Of
Haendel, Minuet of Mozart, Royal
Spanish dances inspired by Velasquez,
the Rhapsodie Hongroise of List, and
the IMMORTAL Tarantelle Of Chopin, in
which a peasant girl, bitten by the
tarantula, dances to her death.

Next Wednesday Commissioner Baker

partment in a single day. Already the
"cops" are preparing for the day of
the big move, which will be one of the
greatest feats of it's kind ever attempt
ed.
On Wednesday at the stroke of three
o'clock every telegraph and telephone
wire, numbering $50 all told, will be
switched to the new building at Cen
ter and Grand streets in the fraction
of a second.
This stupendous task has entailed
many days of planning, until now all
that remains to carry it to perfection
is the work of the steam filters and
the furniture men, which will end on
Tuesday.
All will be in readiness then, and
from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday
caravan of assorted wagons and
trucks will ply between the old build
ing, at No. 500 Mulberry, and the new
million dollar home of the police de-

operators will seat themselves at the

The New York Bible society will
celebrate it's centennial next week with
an interdenomination meeting in
Carnegie Hail. The society has dis
tributed millions of copies Of the
Scriptures, in every language, during
it's hundred years of existence, and is
the most notable organization of its
kind in the world. The management
of the society hopes to round out its
first century by beginning an unprece
denied le-distributing campaign
and has issued the following appeal:
More than 100000 immigrants land
ed at Ellis Island during the last six
months, and each one who wished it,
was given copy of the Scriptures in
his own language by missionaries of
the society. This work is strictly i'm
of creed, can unite in supplying these
strangers with the Bible by contribut-
ing to the society. Thousands of sail
ors on vessels of all nations in the
harbor have also been visited by the
missionaries of the society.
There are more than 800 pastors in
Manhattan and Bronx, and a larger
number of missionaries and other
workers, who visit the needy in homes,
hospitals, prisons, and other institu-
tions. Many of them cannot afford to
pay for the Scriptures that they dis
tribute in their daily visiting, and over
sixty of these workers have been free
ly supplied by the New York Bible So
ciety.
&c The society has distributed nearly
10000 volumes of Scriptures in thirty
seven languages during the last six
months in the city and harbor of New
York. The work is maintained by
voluntary contributions and church
collections. The increased population
demands increased funds, in orde,
that the incoming multitudes may be
supplied with Scripture"
