New York is a town of pledge sign
ers." said a transplanted Bostonian.
People sign pledges to refrain from
about every vice and pleasure known
to the human race. Pledges striking
n death blow at intemperance and pro-
family. OF course. are most popular
here. as elsewhere. but they are only
the top liners ia 4 varied list of absu-
nenCes.
During my six months residence in
New York | have been approached by
emissaries from humane societies. bo-
tanical and horticultural societies. pa
triotic societies. physical culture clubs
and every kind OF benevolent institu.
ton the town affords. asking me to
pledge myself to refrain from doing
any of the things those organizations
condemn. At pledge headquarters they
even attempt to regulate your literary
and musical tastes by obtaining your
promise not to read certain books or
listen to certain kinds Of music. No
matter how freakiSh n pledge may
seem to the average citizen It finds
hundreds Of supporters. and as all
pledges really tend to regeneration it
is not unnatural to expect the millen-
mum to strike New York most any
day."-New York Times.

A New York lawyer said In Washing

as the proof against the barber.

cused of secret inebriety. but his old
patrons refused to credit such a charge.
"A stancb old patron went to the
man to be shaved one morning. The
barber In silence began to lather him.

the nose &c firmly that Its owner grunt-
