People Are Suffering.
The people OF New York have been

such conditions. They are tired OF con-

routes. They want 10 SEQ the dirt turned
and the construction actually egun.
Tho Public Service Commission
claims tho entire responsibility for tho
deiay rests with tho Board OF Estimate
and ApportlOnrnent. ! have found that
there IN n good deal OF merit in that
contention.
The condition which divides author.
rs and requires that both the Public
Service Commission and tiv, Board OF

tracts Is an unfortunate one. But that
cannot be remcdied. The Public Service
Commission having no owe TO collect
taxes. could not he given the sole right

Those who have visited Monte Car

ruin Of many an unfortunate person
who has lost his last franc in playing
at roulette I'm that palatial gambling
den. All are not so fortunate as to
have an armored cruiser at their dis
pOsal. as was the case with a French
naval officer some years ago. He had
gone ashore in the morning with
naught in his pockets but his own
earnings BY noon it was all gone.
If he but had another 300 francs he
was sure of winning. During those
morning hours of failure he had work
ed out system, and with just Il few
francs more success was certain. He
would use the ships money. Perhaps
1t was not just the right thing to do,
but In another two hours he would be
able to return it, would have recouped
his own loss and have won who knows
what fortune besides.
At sunset he returned to his ship q
ruined man. The system, like all sys-
tens, of the sort, had failed. What
would mean dishonorable discharge.
lifelong disgrace, if not even more Sc
we're punishment Death seemed the
only alternative. But no; he would
make one final attempt to save him
self. He would force the authorities
of Monte Carlo to return to him what
he had lost or he would blow up their
gambling palace!
AS soon as he was again on board
his order was: Clear decks for action.
Raise the muzze of every gun and let
them point toward the heights of Mo
naco"
Whatever the sailors might think of
such an order mattered little; obey
they must. With all haste a messen-
ger was sent ashore with a note, and
the captain meanwhile paced the deck
In silence awaiting the reply-a reply
which meant life or death to him.
Finally the messenger returned car
rying bag Of gold coins. That night
the French cruiser weighed anchor
and quietly steamed out into the Medi-
terranean. her captain happy that he
had Jared no worse and the authorities
Of Monte Carlo only too glad to be rid

How TO Rsnsw oiIeIoth.

When the oilcloth has been down for
a few months and is losing the shiny
surface it can be renewed easily and
made to last twice as long if treated
In the following way: Melt little or
binary glue in pint of water, letting
it stand ON the top of the oven till
dissolved. Wash the oilcloth thor
oughly and let it dry. Then at night,
when the traffic of the day is over, go
over the whole carefully with fan
mel dipped in the glue water. Choose
a fine day for it, and by morning the
glue will be hard and will have put a
fine gloss as good as new on your
floor.
