Mr.. Jarr went to the kitchen and

WOMEN ~LIFE-SAVERS.

HERE is good horse sense back of the project to enroll the
ladies of the land in q National Women's Life Saving League.
One of the planks Of its patform-that women should wear

Asnsslvss, since counsel from men might be under suspicion Of bias.
Ut the mobilization Of the sex as life-savers is very much in order.

STEERS IN THE STREETS.

THERE IS q newspaper story, usually with pictures and itinerary,
every time "beef on the hoof' gets loose in our streets. 1t is
. story of galoping panic and collisions and badly aimed
Police bullets and the inevitable abattoir achieved by a very circuitous
route. The inference would be that New York is no place for min.
btsr5 sons or Texas steers; and the inference would be wrong.
Within the memory of men alive there was a drovers' market at
Lexington avenue and Twentyfourth street; the old Bulls Head
Tavern ID its monument. The Astor House stands on the site of a
drover' inn, and in the early days of the city there was a cattle
market near Trinity Church. Such names as Cow Bay and Cow Neck
On nearby Long Island recall a time when there was free grazinp
hnd ON the shores Of the Sound. Not until about a generation ago
did the Montauk peninsula cattle range disappear and with it those
drives, almost at the back door Of the city, which Whitman celebrated
n sonorous prose.
II . runaway steer knew where to go, he could still find plenty
6 company here. The census of 1900 showed more cows in New
York County than at any time since 1850, and more in Brooklyn and
Richmond than at any time since 1855. In 1900 New York had
1t71 cattle, Richmond 1906, Kings 2,4s9 and Queens 5,O12, making
Q total neat population of 10,57s. There should be plenty of catu,
here for Z generation to come.
