The National Gallery.

II the north side Of trafalgar Square is
a large sandstone building, badly blackened
by the London SCOT This IS the National
Gallery. 1t seems a shame that a building
containing 50 many priceless art treasures,
should be grIny on the outside This col
lection comprises a number Of pictures by the
worlds most famous artists. Right beside the
National Gallery IS the National Portrait
Gallery containing the portraits of Englaud's
famous men and women.

and Ffty-Nirth Street, at about five O'Clock,
a Spring afternoon, and watch the stream
of conveyances. Multiply this by ten, add
horse Buses and you have the average London
street, at any time during the day. With all
this traffic. however, there is not as much
noise as one would expect The comparative

more like nature. A mixture of yellow and

The Tate Gallery.

Leaving the National Gallery we take bus
and a short ride brings Us TO Atterbury Street,
which runs along the south side OF the Tate
Gallery of British Art Unlike the National
Gallery which contains paintings by men Of
all narienalities, the Tate contains the works
Of British artists only. Sir Joshua Reynolds
Is well represented and a new wing IS being
added 10 hold a collection of Turner's works.
Most OF Turner's pictures resemble a srnudge
of color, when closely examined. But walk
few PAGES away from the picture and you viii
be surprised TO see it change from mass OF
color to 4 picture; not one in which all the
outlines are clearly defined but one IN which

a monument known as the Eleanor Cross,
erected in meemory of Queen Eleanor, wife
of Edward l. The body of the dead Queen
was being taken from Lincoln to Westmin-
ster Abbey for burial and the body rested at
this spot for one night As a result, Edward
had a Gothic spire erected in 1901. In I647,
the Puritans destroyed it, leaving the spot
vacant for number of years, until Parlia-
ment regretted it.
Trafalgar Square.
The Strand, which is one of London's
busiest streets. runs beside this monument
leading into Fleet Street at one end and
Trafalgar Square at the other This Square
is quite center of attraction partly
account of the close proximity of the National
Gallery and also on account of the Nelson
Column. Trafalgar Square is in reality a

The Crowds of London.
Written for The Palisadian
e Palisadian

MOST every American who has
stood on the curb of a New
York street. waiting for chance
to dash across, between the lines
of vehicles, believes that New
York City has the most crowded
streets of any city in the world.
Compared with London, however,
the traffic in New Work Is
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1910-03-01

greatest in the world. To really see the
treasures Of different times and places that
are contained there, one should devote at
least one day Another interesting museum
is the Museum of Natural History which in
my estimation does not come up to the
museum in New York City. There is however
one exhibit which Is of great interest to all
Americans, especially those who live on Long
Island or in the lower portions OF New Jersey
This interesting exhibit comprises a number
OF magnihed models Of mosquitoes in the var
IOus stages of their existence. The most i'm
pOrtant part of the exhibit, however. Is a
large sign which states that this insect Is

London's System of Shopping.

Leaving the Gallery bus will take us to
Regent street. the street where most Ameri-
leave their money as it is of the
best streets in London for shopping Suppose
you wish to buy article, you pick out
the store, shop as our English friend calls
it, and enter. You find yourself in a large
room, containing several large tables and no
stock in sight. \ very courteous clerk takes
you in charge, draws a chair up to table
for second and covers the table with the
desired article Unlike the American system,
you don't have to wait for clerk and the
rule is, clerk for every customer and not
one for everv ten as we have il.

The Omnibuses of London.

The London omnibus is certainly a great
institution. When considers that London
has about seven thousand miles of streets and
nearly all can be reached BY means of bus
one will get good idea of the size of this
system. There are both horse and motor
buses, the horse-drawu being in the majority
Both have seats on the top and If one wishes
to get good idea of the city nothing is
better than TO ride on the top OF these con-
veyanceS. The drivers, who are usually fat.
red-faced Englishmen. are only too glad 10
point out the different places OF interest 1t
Is very simple for q person unfamiliar with
London TO get lost; but l was able to discover
a means of reScuing myself without asking
anyone for directions. The hotel we stopped
at faced Trafalgar Square; Chariug Cross was
about six hundred feet from the Square.
Charing Cross IS the center for nearly all the
different bus lines, so that no matter where
went l would usually see 2 bus with a sign
surrounded with advertisements reading
CHARING m" All / had TO do was 10 get
into the bus get off at Charing Cross and
walk TO the hotel.

quiet is due TO the street pavemeuts. To be
sure, some Of the streets are aSphalted similar
TO those in New York; except that where we
have alternate bumps and hollows the Lon
doner has smooth level pavement. The
majority or the streets are paved with pre-
pared woed-blockS, which quite elastic and
prevent great noise.

After supper he strode up the main
street There was considerable pride
in his step. Everybody who saw him
remarked the change and the knowing
ones smiled. When he approached the
crowd OF camp urchins with whom he
associated he noted that they treated
him with a certain curious awe, that he
was plea sed to call respect" Fur
ther, they listened to his story with
becoming interest and visible envy.
Il amt sure when you'll see me
again." he said, assuming a rakish
pose; I'm kinder busy these days.
Have to get some togs, now, then I'm
going home to study. Mister Graves
told me he would give me a book on
engineering. He said | didn't have to
read over the first part COS l had 1T
down pat .orready. He said: In week
you oughter know the whole business,
Gussie-then l want you to study min
ing l made two dollars today-that
amt SO bad" The clink of the money
against dozen eight-penny nails and
an assortment OF keys in his pocket,
impressed his audience Then, he
walked off, swinging from side to side,
reckless and pompouS.
Entering a store. he purchased a pair
OF overalls, red bandana handkerchief
and a pound OF dried prunes
you worked half a shift for Harper
today, didn't you Gussie?" asked the
storekeeper
'You bet" replied the boy. with i'll
concealed boastfulness.
II heard they need a fireman at the
Mother Goose mine in Summit. Why
don't you try for the job?"
Gusane's heart leaped.
when did you hear it?"
About an hour ago. One OF the
men went east. His health is bad"
Munching prunes, Gusano took a
short cut home. Summit was a small
camp five miles away and higher up on
the range. If the mill was in need OF
a man. why could he not fill the place?
He was full OF the idea and talked to
his parents until he overruled their
objections and gained their consent.
The next morning before sunrise,
Gusano caught his old, bony Indian
pony, swallowed his breakfast and rode
off, When he reached Summit he waited
two hours for the mill superintendent.
"Are you Mr.. Brown?" he asked at
last OF a tall, bearded man. II hear
you're short a fireman, and came
over from Belleyille to see what the
chances is OF getting the job"
Brown looked down at the boy in
astonishment. Then he laughed.
why you're only a boy You can't
do the work. my SON"
This sentiment cut Gusano like a
knife; to some extent, 1t angered him.
''How do you know l cant?' he re-
torted.
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-20

cided that he should go to bed and
have the doctor. For Gusano had sud
denly developed into very demon Of
animation.
When he had gulped his dinner he
covered the half mile back to the
mill on run. Once there, he stripped
down to his undershirt and fell to eye
ing the boilers, until Harper, the fire
man. finished his lunch. Then the man
went over the work of the afternoon
with his substitute. But Gusane
learned no more than he already knew
AT o'clock he pulled the whistle
cord, He experienced a great thrill
Of pride when the road gang Of loung-
ing Hungarians rose as one man to
resume their work at the signal. Then
the afternoon wore away.
When the superintendent appeared
Gusano was wheeling In a supply OF
wood, For a long time Graves watched
the prodigy The youngster felt him
self trembling under the keen eyes
He knew his efforts were being
searched for defects. knew that he was
blundering shockingly, and felt miser-
able.
We'll, Gussie how do you like the
work. asked Graves, curiously.
"Orright" Gussie looked over his
shoulder with deep concern at the
water glass. Then he shot a You
know -how-it-is" glance at his superior
and became suddenly Interested in his
grimy hand.
AS easy as you thought 1t would
be?"
Easier"
The men laughed.
''Well," said Graves, moving away,
tom and Bill say you're the best man
they ever worked with, and / know
they're right Don't wear yourself out.
Gussie"
How those words of praise sang in
the boys ears! 1t was the first time
he had worked for days pay; he wanted
to make good, and he had. And the
money he would earn He grew dizzy
with thoughts OF gold and reputation,
and wild fancies kept his mind so
busily occupied that when O'clock
arrived the engineer had to call for
the whistle.
Washing himself. Gusano left the
mill. On the trail TO town he met
Harper, the fireman.
"Hello. Gussie. just saw the super.
He told me you tackled the job like an
old hand.
'Oh, / guess I did orright"
The man searched his pockets and
handed the boy $2."
THAT suit you, Gussie?' he asked
with a smile.
''Sure-if it's orright with you. And
say. Harper, IL you want to lay Off
gimme a chance"
"You bet-Pll let you know, Gussie."
Two dollars! Gusano could hardly
believe it! He had expected not more
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-20
ARE YOU MISTER BIZ QwT,.

How do l know? Why where on
earth did you ever fire a boiler?"
Gusano threw out his chest ever so
little
Il bin taking feller's place at the
Belleville MILL" he declared stoutly. "I
guess 1 know something about firing"
The man was interested; more than
that he was amused He studied Gu
sano few moments before he spoke,
then, as If he had arrived at a salts
factory conclusion, he said:
IF you can get letter Of recon-
mendation from Superintendent Graves
III put you to work. That's fair,
isn't it?"
Pounding the old horse in the ribs
with his heels until, much against it's
will, it broke into gallop, he swung
off the main road toward the Belle
vile mill. The millman. walking over
the trail from the town, stopped in an
swer to the shrill whistle and, recog-
nizing the young rider coming across
country on a humping lope, waited for
him to approach
How do, Mister Graves 2" said Gu
sano, refining in his heaYing mount, II
come to get recommend from you /
got job at the Mother Goose mill
firing If you'll gimme letter to Mister
Brown"
The boss frowned and looked
thoughtful. IT was some little time
before he spoke Gusano paled He
had expected sudden, good natured con
sent; on the contrary, he was on the
verge of being refused A lumn rose
in his throat and he fought sayagely
against the yelling tears. He knew he
had been too sure; he realized also
that his new born animation was being
cruelty stamped out
We'll, I'll tell you. Gussie." finally
answered Graves, still scowling at the
ground, the fact is you haven't worked
long enough for me to recommend YOU
to another man. Besides, my little
boy Jack tells me you are thinking OF
studying engineering. Now What.
Gussie, crying?p
Gpsano's head had sunk upon his
breast and the tears were streaming
through his dirty fingers The man
took step forward and laid his hand
caressingly upon the shoulder Of the
apprentice fireman.
II was just going to say" he added
gently, that | want you to take up en-
gineering, and that l would rather
give you Job here, where you can
learn"
Three years after Superintendent
Brown called up Graves by telephone.
Say Graves, got a good man down
there? Our compressors broke down
and We're Up against it,"
"Yes. I'll send you young fellow
you once refused a job"
The machinist was Gusano.

federation has been brought To bear In
the formation OF the indictment pre-
scented today To the department OF

The president OF the federation says
he is determined 90 give the trust TIE
same medicine that the courts gave To
organized labor under the Sherman
act and which resulted In the iaN
scntence how hanging over the heads
OF Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison.
The officers aud directors OF the
