quently Gods people are ensnared by
the spirit OF SANDER. How grievous
are the wrongs thus accomplished;
how unbearable is the injustice inf1ict

ties incurred. Assuredly those who
lend their lips to ISLANDER are CORE
spondingly opening their hearts to the

of distress went out. The
poor Jews had been giving all of their

had thus cut off their income from

Nehemiah looked into the matter and

rates, and they were thus profting by
the calamities of their brethren. He

meal ticket at every restaurant. l left my chum
right there. paid my fare as far as l could and
beat it the rest of the way"
The court some years back, having broken into
town in substantially the way, did not hear
She boys story without feeling During the re-
eitaI, the judicial mind had gone back to that
other day now long gone when he, a penniless
Rad, had said goodby to his native town. So he
said 10 the boy:
MY son. let me commend your judgment. Any
boy who will ride the trucks to New York, in
preference to going to Chicago and living with
his shums aunt, has the right spirit. | think this
tOv. needs boys like you, and l am going to let
yor stay. Discharged"
Nothing can illustrate better than this incident
the lure Of New York Perhaps no other city
had so large percentage of the worlds pOpula-
tion bIuffed. A bigger word than "bluffed' is
needed here but it does not come. The point is
that the city has the power to cast great spell,
md casts it. She makes comparisons TO
make comparisons would be to admit that there
nre others in her class She says only Il ain the
wonderful city-come."
The call goes north to the edge Of the frozen
world east to the point where the east is west;
south as far white man lives, and west till
abe west is east. Not everybody comes, but every
body hears. Millions would like to come, but
can't Everybody would like at least to see the
siren city And, untold thousands do come. One
railroad thinks nothing OF dumping 100000 stran-
gers into New York in day.
The reason for so much coming Is plain. EV-
erybody likes to be mixed up with a success. The
bigger the success the better. New York is uni
yersally regarded big success. 1t has the
tallest buildings the richest men, the whitest
white Way" that cut a streak through the
night, and some of the most prodigal disbursers
OF the circulating medium that ever dazzed any
community.
In a variety of ways comes the message to
mix with this great successful become part
of this wonderful bigness. Perhaps the newspa-
Ipers and the stage do the most to spread the lure
New York date-lnes appear over tho most impor
tant items of news There seems to be only one
place in which anything worth while can happen.
Has Mr.. Morgan bought an old master or formed
a new trust? Where did he do it? New York
Has Mr.. Rockefeller paid his annual visit to the
office of Standard Oil? Yes-a New York dispatch
says so. Has Mr.. Carnegie slipped in the icy
park and spraned his ankle? What park Why
Central Park, in New York of course. And when
ever an Italian opera singer, Russian revolu
ZIONIST or an Irish patriot comes to this country
where does he land? At New York What city
sends out the news? New York
As an advertiser of the glories and splendor of
this great town, the stage is second only to the
press
Twenty years ago, Nevada youth went to see
show in Carson City. The show was that old
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1911-05-12

in thirty wears and had to fry some more In such
a hurry to put her "other dress" and run over to
Mrs Pratt's to tell her. my boy is coming home"
The boy came home When he took mother in
his arms and held her for full minute, she couldn't
speak. All choked up So glad to see him, she
couldn't say word. And, when she did speak, the
first thing she said she looked up into his brown
eyes, was ooh, my boy how pale you are!
He was pale. He knew it. Subway air makes no
red bloodcorpusces Kills some of the red ones
that exist Nor does the electric light of the sub
way brown the cheek the sunlight browns the
cheek of the farmer. All the year that he had
been away mother had carried In her mind the pic
trre of her farmer boy. Never had dreamed that
her farmer boy would come home with graysh-
white face. Didn't need to say she was shocked.
Looked it. The boy caught the message and laugh
ingly replied
ooh mother all city folks pale
During the week that he remained at home the
boy was kept talking Father and mother con
stantly asking questions. Seemed to mother as if
she couldn't ask questions enough. Wanted to get
first-hand information about everything of which
she had read.
Six months after he returned to work. his mother
had an opportunity to for herself just how big
was New York A telegram told her that her boy
had been hurt. She and father found him In a hos
pital with his head bandaged until they could bare
ly see his eyes At the end of his run, he had
tried to cross tracks to catch another train back
and get to dinner quickly. Didn't see train
running in the opposite direction. Car struck him.
Picked for dead. seemed TO nave fractured
skull Fortunately did not Revived in the hos
pital and would get well.
Oh but the mothers heart glad when she
heard the best instead of the worst. Glad until she
and father went to the boys Not his room
in the hospital but his in lodging-h house.
Glad until she saw how miserably he had lived. A
dirty street. dirty house. dirty hall. A cheer
less room Little light Bad air. skinny bed A
frayed counterpart. Not a decoration, her
own picture, stuck in the edge Of mirror.
Her boy could afford no better place to live. His
pay was only 1925 day. That is his pay from
the company was only 1925 day The lure of
New York made up the rest that needed to In
duce him to stay.
Such is life for millions in New York. Not life
as the newspaper dispatches describe it. Not life
as the stage pictures it. Life as it is.
A few draw colossal prizes. few draw
good prizes. But if only those should come to New
York who can earn better living here than they
can elsewhere, a handcar running once day, would
almost bring them in Ninety-two per cent of the
population have not drawn enough prizes to enable
them to own their own homes Yet people come.
Come from every state in the Union. Come from
every town in every state-.-eyery hamlet Come
from Italy, Norway, Sweden, Turkey-come from
everywhere.
