NEW YORK. CITY
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "A Good Old Siwash."

New York City is the biggest city
in the world. not because it has tho
most people but because it does the
biggest things,
New York has only paltry =
100000 people including million
aires not taxed while London has
5000, 900 who live near enough to
it to be annoyed by motor omnibuses.
But New York makes London look
like a collection Of Duteh ovens.
New York contains the tallest build
in Us in the world the greaest bridges
in the world, the largest railroad
station in the world the greatest
commerce, the most terrific hotels,
the loudest subways, the most promi-
nent baseball team. the greatest
fiHanciers and the most princely
grafters on this planet or any other
so far as known.
New York, in fact, is so big that
many small man has sweIled up
until he burst while trying to fiji it.
Nav York was founded on Manhat-
tan Island almost 500 years ago bat
has now spread out over the country
like heavy rash until fiat buildings
are being built as far north as Yon-
ke"s and as far up as the Sd Satellite
cf Jupiter The city takes the raw
IN migrants from Europe and works
them into the census statistics and
garment workers at the rate of
eco, 900 a year. 1t also takes young
scniuses OF all kinds from the West
ard dooms them to a life of poverty
at $4,000 3 year on the 18th floor
OF an apartment house. 1t leads tho
nation in finance, commerce, manu-
features, skyscrapersA reactionaries,
drama, dress suits, hotel prices, au-
tomobiles aud press agents. One rca-
son why New York has become so
famous is the fact that her writer's
would rather advertise her free of
charge than get $1,000 a week for
exploring Chicago and other sections
OF the wild interior.

The words became confused in her
mind, so that when she went to the
telephone she asked Have you any
nice young grocers?"
"Why-why-yes," replied an as
tonished voice at the other end of the

Sewing Made Easy.

Persons. with the store window habit
have found something to stare at in a
little notion store. Stretching across
the window are three strands of No

spools. Suspended from each thread
are twenty-five needles.
My little daughter threaded them"
the storekeeper said. "Tbey are @
wonderful convenience for people with
such poor eyes that they can't see to
thread their own needles. Here is a
whole bunch of them already threaded
and all the sewer has to do Is to UNI
wind the thread until she has the de-
sired length for the first needle, then
slip the other needles along until it
comes their turn. Maybe in some
neighborhoods a that contrivance
wouldn't be appreciated very highly,
but here it is a real blessing. Within
few blocks Of the store are three
old ladies' homes, The old ladies like
to sew, but they have found it impos-
sible to keep their needles threaded
Now that job is already done for
them for the original cost Of the

The "nld Maid

some time ago Rev. Mr.. Huffer
of Colorado advocated the Danish
ment OF all old maids to a desert
island for the general good Of society
Thereupon arose storm OF protest
which came not only from spinsters
but from married women, from edi-
torial writers and from mere mon
The newspapers reported an answer
from Miss Helen NJ. Gould which
that lady afterward denied.
Observing the row he had started
the Rev. Mr.. Huffer came back. He
divided old maids into classes, the
'elabbered, the disappointed and
the 'talkative." He said he had IN
mind the ''clabhered variety when
he issued his edict Of Punishment
He added that they despised men
and were soured. The talkative class
were also bad Only the disappoint-
ed had his sympathy. They had
been crossed in love and could not
help themselves
Leaving aside the preacher and
his Nominations, for he said little
new, and that was unworthy of dis
cussion, the question Of unmarried
women is an interesting one, especi-
ally to men. Moreover, it is not
only interesting to individual men,
but is important to society as a
whole, for with the increasing en-
pioyment of women the number Of
spinsters, or bachelor maids. which
is a better term, is rapidly on the
increase. The large majority Of
these self supporting women belong
to none Of the classes mentioned by
the reverend gentlemen, but are able
to take care of themselves, are fairly
contented with their lot, thank you
and are doing their part of the work
Of the world.
Yet 1t is not good for either men
or women to live alone, and this re-
mains true despite changed condi-
tions. It is not good either individ-
ually or for society at large. For
one thing, it tends to race suicide.
For second, it undermines the
home. For a third, it undermines
morals.
The love of one man for one wom-
an, which is the foundation of the
home and OF pure family life, is APP
proved by the experience of the
ages. by religion, by common sense
and by every right instinct Yet
this system of marriage is threaten
ed from many different angles,
threatened by wholesale divorce, by
the widespread employment Of WON
en-, by the high tension of modern
life and by certain changes of stand
ards in social relations.
1t IS time for serious minded men
and women TO think soberly on these
things.

LESSON OF INTEREST
FIGURES THAT ARE CALcUL ATEp
TO STAGGER IMAGINATION.
What Old King Midas Might Have Ac.
cumulated Starting with the Mod
est Saving Of Ten Cents
Week.

Why didn't King Midas, the gold
lover, try to save ten cents week !
says the Chicago Tribune. He could
have given the world u wonderful OK.
ample of the value of the saving hah-
It, Besides, he would have left money
for the members of his family alive
today. Midas was one OF the kings
Of Phrygia. AS the Phrygian line was
wiped out by the Cimmerlans about
go B. c., we may assume he lived
about 500 B. c., or at least ALL years
ago.
Ii King Midas had started in saw
Ing ten cents week he would have
saved a dime. therefore. on each of
the 140,S70 weeks. This would make
him the neat little sum of S14,097 90.
Although not fortune in these days,
s14,o9T.20 is quite fair sum to save
by giving up one cigar o week. But
there is more to follow.
In those days of political upheaval
and commercial uncertainty, capital
was entitled to bigger return on
its investment than it would be today.
The risk was much greater. Though
We have no actual records of Phryg-
ian rates of usury. it Is fair to assume
that the Midas account drew ten per
cent. interest compounded annually
for at least the first 1000 years, or I'M
Ill the commercial world had reached
a comparatively recent stage of de-
velopment
Beginning. therefore, 500 years be
fore Christ, Midas put into his savings
ten cents every week. At the end
OF the first ten weeks he had a dollar,
The interest On one dollar for one
year is not great, even at ten per
cent, but it adds another dime to the
ten already saved At the end OF the
second year there is something more
than two dimes to be added.
AT the end of the first hundred
years the accumulation ON the first
dollar. at tan per cent. compounded,
would be S13,7S0.66. Thus Midas, in
the year 700 B. c. would have had
s13,TS0.66, resulting from his first ten
weeks savings. The compromising
goes on through the next century so
that at the end of 200 years, in the
year 600 3. c., Midas would have had
$lS9,906, $4,000 from his first dollar
At the end of the next hundred
years, or in 500 b. c., the results from
those first ten dimes put away would
be s2619,03S149.10063 Continuing
this compromising through the follow
ing 2,411 years it is not a complicated
mathematical problem to arrive at the
sum Midas would have today from his
first one dollar saved.
Remember, moreover, this sum.
which would be up among the I'M
cQnntahla- trillioHs Of dollars. would
represent the increment OF only one
dollar put away by Midas. Midas him
self, busily saving dimes, would have
started a new series Of dollar pyra-
mids every ten weeks. At the end Of
the first years saving he would have
started five and half of these stu
pendous fortunes. To compare any
one Of these with the S14,097 20 he
would have saved If he had received
no interest, certainly represents the
interest habit in a favorable light.

ton provides that the president
must be at least thirty-fye but as

office has been nearly twenty years
beyond this minimum.
The Oldest of the presidents at the

Roosevelt, who was nearly forty

ages are approximate, counting to
the nearest birthday The oldest out
side Of the first Harrison was Bueh-
anan, who was sixty-six. and next Ii
him was Zachary Taylor, who was
sixty four Both Harrison and Tay
Tor died In office, and Buchanan was
feeble at the end of his term.
The average age of the presidents
at the time Of their entrance inia
office was between ffty-fonr ana

the average was between fifty-fiyc

1t is an interesting fact that Of
the five candidates for president this
year their ages on the 4th OF next
March will all be very close to this
average. Chain, the prohibition
candidate, will be the farthest re-
moved. He will be sixty, Debs, the
