CITY LODGING HOUSE
BY ROBERT LEE CARTTR.

New York, February 10-Special)- New York is a city of contrasts. Sky scrapers and shacks stand side by side. Within pistol shot of some of the most magnificent palaces in the world may be found sordid habitations which it would be hard to match anywhere else in America. And so it goes. I saw the other day an account of a dinner party the cost of which was estimated at $500 plate.
 About the same time l saw the menu of a moderately satisfying meal at 6 cents. Some contrast there. | The six cent dinner Is furnished by the municipal lodging house and con- sists of bowl of nourishing soup, baked beans and good coffee. Not a aAd work on it. A distressingly larger number of men do.
 For the $500 dinner there are not only the most expensive viands and wines served in the moss expensive manner. but the table is graced with hot house flowers, jewelled favors are provided for the lady diners, and the guests are regaled with songs by op- cratic stars. Where, except in New York, is there so wide range in the cost of meals?
 That municipal lodging house by the way is a worth while institution. It l has saved the life of more than one | deserving citizen during the recent se- were weather. MT. York, it's superinten- dent is an expert on poverty. He de- clares of his guests:
 "They are not drunken. they are not worthless, as we prefer to believe. How many tines you and have said: Any body can get work in New York that wants it. Nobody need starve here if he is competent and wiling" | Now this is what the man who sees the man who knows, has to say on the | subject:
 | From 75 to so per cent of the men who seek shelter in the municipal lodg- l ing house." MT. Yorke told me, "are men who are unemployed because they cannot get work. They are sober men. We investigate the stories they tell us | after they are here, of course-for any man can get shelter at night who asks for it. I am prepared to say that the great majority of men who come here and say they have looked in vain for work are telling the absolute truth.
 Work on the Aqueduct shuts down in winter; mills in New England shut down and the idle men all flock to New York. I don't blame them Misery loves company, and in New York nobody cares whether your collar is clean or not; nobody cares whether you're down and out or not"

that by planting another reliable man

to hold their own in second game

The past week, with its ideal wealth.
er and fine evenings, has developed a
mania for roasts among the campers.
Wiener roasts, marshmallow, cheese,
frog and bean, are few varieties
which have been held. A wiener
roast is accomplished by holding a
perfectly good wiener at the end OF
stick over a hot bonfire until your
eyebrows are singed off. When the
eye brows have been entirely burned
off the wiener will be found deliciously
scorched. A marshmallow should be
held over a smoky lamp on hat pin
until nothing but a black dot remains
of the marshmallow. 1t then has the
flavor of burnt biscuit. To roast
beans, throw can of them into a
hot bonfire. The guests should form
a circle about the fire, and stand with
mouths fully opened. When the can
explodes. throwing the beans into the
air, a few will drop into the open
mouth. II the can fails to explode

Some few scattering pieces Of early

Corn is an imperfect cror this year
so far because of adverse weather,
questionable seed, and the depreda-

OFFICERS ARREST
A WIFE BEATER

Clarence Lynch, wanted by the po-
lice of Portage, Wis.,, on charge of
assault with intend to kill, was ar
rested Friday by the Lacrosse police
at the Hynne-Benrud Granite works,
where he has been employed for the
last few days. He was arrested on
description sent by the Portage po-
lice and admitted when taken to the
police station that he is the man
wanted. When searched, clipping
from local paper saying that he had
come to Lacrosse and was wanted by
the police, was found in his pockets.
It will be recalled that the Portage
papers gave an account of how he
chased his wife and babe from their
home when he was crazy drunk.

this was the essence OF life he coveted.
He smiled at the thought and the sure
knowledge that he was not the only
wolf in the fold. Ay, and who among
these dainty Red Riding Hoods might
be fooled by vulpine grandmother?
Truth, when a fellow winnowed 1t all
down to a handful, there were only
fools and rogues. If one was fool,
the rogue got you, and he in turn de-
voured himself.
He held his glass toward the table
lamp, moved it slowly to and fro un-
der his nose, epicureanly; then he
slipped the wine. Something like! 1t
ran across his tongue and down his
throat in tingling fire, nectarious; and
he went half way to Olympus, to the
feet OF the gods. For weeks he had
lived in the vilest haunts, In desperate
straits, his life in his open hands; and
now once more he had crawled from
the depths to the outer crust Of the
world. 1t did not matter that he was
destined to so down into the depths
again; so long as the spark burned
he was going to crawl back each time.
Damnable luck! He could have lived
like prince. Twenty-four hundred,
and all in two nights, steady stream
of gold into the pockets Of men whom
he could have cheated with consum-
mate ease, and didn't. A fine wolf,
whose predatory instincts were still
riveted to that obsolete thing called
conscience!
Conscience? Rot! Let us for
once be frank and write it down as
caution, as fear of publicity, anything
but the white guardian-angel Of the
Immortality Of the soul. Heap up the
gold, Apollyon; heap 1t up, higher and
higher, till not squeak Of that still
small voice that once awoke the chap
in the Old Testament can ever again
be heard. Now, no more retrospection,
Horace; no more analysis; the vital
question SINNERS down to this: If
Perciyal Algernon balks, how far will
four sovereigns go?"

"Hm! the Major smells of County
Antrim and the finest whisky In all

pleasing name; tinkling brooks, the
waving green grasses in the mead

AS he uttered these poesy express
sions aloud, in a voice low and not un-
pleasing, for all that it was banter
ing, the head-porter stared at him with
mingling doubt and alarm; and as II
to pronounce these emotions mutely
for the benefit Of the other, he per-
mitted his eyes to open their widest.
"Tut, tut; that's alright, porter. I
am cursed with the habit of speaking
my inmost thoughts. Some persons
are afflicted with insomnia; some fall
asleep in church; think orally. Beast
ly habit, eh?"
The porter then understood that he
was dealing not with a species OF
mild lunacy, but with that kind OF
light-hearted cynicism upon which
the world Gas porters know it, had set
it's approving seal. In brief, he smiled
family; and If he had any pleasantly
to pass in turn, the approach Of the
manager, now clothed metaphorically
in deferentialism, re1egated 1t to
the limbo of things thought but left
unsaid.
"Here Is a letter for you, Mr.. Ry'
anne. Have you any more luggage?'
mo" Mr.. Ryanne smiled. "Shall
pay for my room in advance?"
"Oh, no, sir!" Ten years ago the
manager would have blushed at hav
ing been so misunderstood. 'Youl
room is 2O8."
"Will you have boy show me the
way?'
81 shall myself attend to. that. Il
the room is not what you wish il

"Quite coincident"
"Ah, if roulette could be played with
such a certainty"
Mr.. Ryanne sighed, hitched up his
bundle, which, being heavy, was begin
ming to wear upon his arm, and signi
fed to the manager to lead the way.
AS they vanished round the corner
to the lift, the head-porter studied th<

dozen times that day, but this was the
first instance of his being really in
terested in it. AS his chin was fresh
ly shaver he had no stubble to stroke
to excite his mental processes; sc
he fell back, as we say, upon the con
