THE REAL B0WERY.
Swiftly Passing. It Has Never Been
Wholly Revealed.

The real Bowery has never been
written up, and probably it never will
be. because it is swiftly passing. Hun
dreds of attempts have been made by
those who have not even penetrated
the surface of it's reserve. Its heart
and soul-for the Bowery has both, as
we'll as reserve-are sealed book to
the writer's. 1t is Il Sargasso sea lit
tered with derelicts of all worlds, drift
ebb and flow of the tide, while all
about them is the ceaseless activity of
commerce, of development, moving
onward and upward despite the cease
less cross current, which no literary
mariner, cruising in these uncharted
waters, can understand.
Those who know it best and have
some skill In writing as well as some
understanding are so overwhelmed by
it's endless complications, its infinity
of contradictions, it's astonishing good
ness and its frightful depravity. the
battling mystery Of it's wonderful hui
manuess and its fantastic mystery,
that they do not dare attempt to write
even what they know. Only one man
in all literature could have interpreted
the Bowery-and BalZac is dead.
Most of us know the Bowery through
fugitive newspaper sketches and fear
some lurid melodramas. The sketches
present certain phases more or less in
diligently, but the melodramas are
weird burlesques, unworthy even of
being scoffed at, so far as any consid-
Grafton of truth is concerned. But
these cheap melodramas, endlessly re-
peated, have built up a fiction that has
come TO be accepted as the reality

Humor ane Philosophy

QUITE DIFFERENT.

The still small voice OF conscience
Sounds like a mighty shout
The moment that the owner
Fears he may be found out.
1t rings forth like a cannon,
Resembling out through space.
If but exposure rises
To stare him in the face.
When things move on serenely
In placid, even flow
II it does any talking
1t whispers soft and low,
Pours out on the surroundings
Approval, or instead
1t shakes hands with its owner
: And pats him on the head.
It doesn't stop to bother
About the little slips.
And all the minor lapses
Conveniently it skips,
And greater misdemeanors
1t lightly passes by
If they Will not be blazoned
Before the worlds wide eye.
But when the world takes notice
And reporter HES
To find out for the papers
What's under the disguise
Then conscience gets in motion,
Starts working overtime.
And then the small misdoing
Appears a monstrous crime.

Inc February Wide World Maya
zine.-The February Wide World
Magazine is a striking number and
contains a remarkable amount of in
teresting material from all the corn
ers of the earth From the very or
iginal map contests we learn that
the stories and articles deal with such
widely separated corners as Mon
tana. Hawaii, the Gold Coast. Japan
China, British Guiana. the Nicobar Is
lands, Arabia. New Guinea, Algeria,
Arizona, West Africa, Labrador, and
many other places. If for no other
reason than rubbing up one geog-
raphy, the Wide World should be read
each month. 1t is even a better geo
graphical educator than philately.
Among the most interesting articles in
| the present. number is one entitled
Some Savage Pastimes.' Savages. it
may be presumed, play games like
other folks, and some of their methods
of amusing themselves are curious in
deed. In this article, E. Way Elking-
| ton, who has made a collection of the
least-known and most peculiar pas
times of so-called "savages," describes
and illustrates them in highly inter
esting manner. Other articles and
stories of interest are "a White Wo-
man in Cannibal Land" "My Expert
ences in Algeria" "a Voyage on an
Ice-Floe," and an enthralling nara
tive written by F. S. Martin of the
Royal Niger Company's Service. who
went disguised to the turbulent robber
kinfdom of Kontogora to secure re.
liable information regarding a danger
Gus rising. An interesting descrip
ton of the way in which turtles are
