It does the largest soda business in the world. There are some other places that do as much business within specified hours, but Perry is open all the time.
 He has not chanRed e bit in manner from the day he went into Hudnuts as a soda water boy. lIe is just as modest. just as bashful. just as kindly, Just as courteous. No one ever has known him to lose his temper He is student-a student of the people. He knows the re- tail business as few men know IL. Once. when he was boy Ee saw a woman carrying @ babe in lower Broadway. Per " was strong and vigorous in those days. He asked the privilege of carrying the child so that the woman, who seemed somewhat ailing, might rest herself He cawied the child from Bowling Green to Nesey street, and he was nearly exhaust ed when he turned the child over to It's mother. That taught him a great lesson. Never does d woman enter his establish- ment now with child In her arms or child by her side that nc or a clerk does not hurry forward with chair for her to rest on. It Is not only an act of cour- tesy and an act of kindness. but q good stroke of business. for he knows and every good retail merchant knows. that once you get customer to sit down, he or she feels from that time forward that that store Is his or hers.
 A lot of men have preached that polite hess costs nothing, and is the soundest of assets. They arc half wrong and half right. Politeness is an asset, but 1t often entails a sacrifice.
 The Perry of today works just hard as the Perry of 1868. He has the same fac ulty for making friends and holding them. The Hendersons, the Danas, the Reids, the Raymonds have gone, but now and then you will see the Brisbanes, the Wardmans, the Recks. the young Pulitz

If Birmingham ever gets wrecked it will be by the tacit consent of her children to let her drift and drift The song of the Sirens is more fatal than the worst of storms. Usage, precedent, the daily wont and custom, lure men so strangely that even while they sleep they die.

 But why should the cheap and ignor- ant adulation of admiring relatives ob- scure the wise words of the masters in lyle. who teach the divine necessity of hard toil, would save many a vain lad from the jaws of the canlIerworm, and send many sweet girl away from the pursuit of the Infinite to the blessed growth that comes from doing unpleas- ing duties in a pleasing and artistic manner.
 On the other hand, what widespread dis aster comes daily from the too jealous "faithfulness' of the self-appointed crit ics of the young.

All the mayors from Oakley Hall down to Gaynor have been hls friends. All the supreme court justices of the first department drop in to see him. Without him Park Row would seem unnatural.
 He has done more acts of kindness. more acts of charity and more acts of courtesy than probably any other man in all New York. And he has done them al modestly, bashfully. He sticks to old friends and old customs. He has occupied the same room in the Astor House for more than a score of years He has been the first man to vote in his precinct in the First Assembly district in every election for the last 30 years. He would feel mis- erable if he were not busy or if he was not polite. He will not live uptown be- cause it distresses him to sec persons overcrowded and suffering in the subway and in the 'L' trains.
 His friends are not confined to the bis men of New York. With the exception of Joe OReily no one has moro earnest we'll wishes in the police department or in other branches of civil service. A fair number of his employees have been with him from the day he went in business fos himself. To dismiss any one is grief to him. For the hurly-burly world oe Park Row he certainly is an odd charac- ter. Everybody knows him. and yet few know the real man.
 one of the strangest things about him is. that although he never wrote an arti- ele in his life. and never worked a. day on newspaper, he has ono of tho flnesr senses for news of any man in New York. No ono knows this better than James Gor- don Bennett, for twice Mir.
