In Little Old New York

ia great hunt for somebody who
could talk with the strangers.
At last negro was found al
Bath Beach who said he thought
he could understand the sailors
and sure enough he could. He
said 1t was a dialect called "gib-
berish" that they spoke. The Ellis
island people agreed that II
sounded like that, anyway.
Sir T. Crossley Rayner, X. c.,
attorney general of British Guiana
has just arrived In New York. He
Is going to see Niagara Falls. He
wants to compare Niagara with
the Kaieteur falls, which are far
inland in British Guiana. Rayner
X. c., is one of very few white
men who have ever seen the Kaie-
teur falls. They are nearly five
times higher than Niagara, having
a sheer drop of TAI feet, then over
a sloping rock 88 feet more-s2e
feet In all. The width is from $50
to 400 feet, according to the sea-
son of the year.
The natives have a nice little
custom of placing their old folks
in canoes and sending them over
the falls. Mr.. Rayner says they
never come back.

To those who stood with me this
side the gate-members of his
family-the warder seemed long
in opening the grating. To the
old man on the other side the delay
waited for that gate to swing back
SO many years. A little longer
wouldn't matter.
Even after he had stepped with
out the walled deadline and before
his children swooped down upon
the trembling figure with tender
embrace, he turned for a moment
to watch the keeper bar the gate
behind him.
Then his shoulders Strengthened
with a jerk and he drank in the
first draughts of regained free
dom.
The dellverance of a life-termer
from penitentiary is a wonderful
thing. And 1t Is still more won
derful to see a man who has worn
the stripes for a score of years
emerge from his prison cave with
heart unwarped and spirit I'M
broken. Such a man Is Chris
Evans.
There is no bitterness in his
heart, no blasphemy ON his lips,
no harsh arraignment of the law
or it's executives. Only a marvel
GUS calm that is warm enough to
be called benevolence.
81 knew this day of liberation
was coming for me-" he told me
i'm his reserved way. "There was
never an hour of my imprisoned
life when / gave up hope of de-
|liverance, of parole" And then
his mind shot off to the source of
all his trouble. ~ knew that
sooner or later the power of the
Southern Pacific would wane in
the politics of the state, and that
when that day came would get
my release.
''It has come little later than
had expected''-he ran his tremb-
ling fingers through his thin gray
hair-''but not too late. A man
learns to be patient i'm this place.
He learns to wait.
'Yt's q family trait, the ability
to wait and not lose heart" he
said, glancing at his daughter
Winifred who had come to take
him home. knew what he meant,

Recently there came about 40
people from the Basque prov
inces of Spain. Not one of them
spoke English, and their talk isn't
enough like Spanish SO that a
Spaniard can understand them.
For two days the bureau of immi-
grafton sought in vain for anyone
who could talk with the people. At
last an interpreter was dug up,
and soon the Basques were on
their way to farms in the west.
A few days ago Capt. Rutledge,
of the British steamship Amana,
discharged in this port seven black
sailors, natives of Sierra Leone.
They were found wandering
around the city, and taken to Ellis
island. This time also there was
