NEW YORK LETTER
BY Norman.
New York, May 21.-'What on
earth is going on today?"
If one person asked the question
a thousand did, in the downtown dis
trict, between the Brooklyn bridge
and Wall street, one recent after
noon.
Every few yards there was a group
of men and boys perhaps Is or 20
with something going on in the cen
ter of the group. From the corner of
Fulton and Nassau streets not less
than twenty such groups were visible.
Investigation of one group re-
vealed what was going on-crap
shooting. In this particular assem-
bIage the game was a dollar a throw.
Gazing about at the other shouting,
boisterous collections of crap-shoot-
ers, one wondered where are the
polce?"
Then came the answer to the
whole mystery. It was the day of
New York's civic parade policemen,
street cleaners and other municipal
workers There wasn't policeman
in sight or in call in all the lower part
of town. Like mushrooms the crap
games had sprouted, with no one to
stop them.
And what becomes of crap games
and crap-shooters when the police
are on the job? Do they stop play
ing, or have they safe retreats in
doors?
Maybe the police know, To the

MOSTLY COMMENT
Mayor Harrison says he'd like
to have the running of New York.
By golly, he remarked, he'd show
these grating coppers where
they got off.
Carter H. had better come
home. The sea breezes down, east
seem to be hurting his head-and
his tongue.
Nanny Abrahams started his
Hearst-Harrison campaign with
a dance. T'other side also seems
to have started-with bomb.
We had a kind of feeling when
Nanny came out for alderman
and Harrison said he was back
ing him that there was liable to
be some forcible arguing. over in
the twentieth.
Well, we don't live in the twen-
tieth, so we should worry and
crawl into a cyclone cellar.
We've been trying for a long
time to figure out what's the mat
ter with the University of Chi
cago, but doggone if we can do it.
Prof. Hoben, of the depart
ment of theology there, said last
night: "a son is truly a costly
luxury; a boy reared from baby
hood to 18 years costs at least
$4,000"
Of course some sentimental
people might remark that son
is worth all the money in the
world.

D. Rockefeller's money that
makes every one connected with
the U. of c. talk like a fish.
Judge Hendrick of the New
York state supreme court seems
to be a different sort of Judge.
Hendrick has refused to issue a
temporary INJUNCTION against the
striking garment workers at the
request of the bosses. Says he
wants to know all the facts before
he issues an injunction in a case
like that.
And the employers were so sur
prised at a judge being fair in a
labor dispute that they nearly
suffered heart disease.
Then there's Federal Judge
HOLSTER of Ohio, who sent the
Cash Register trust millionaires
to jail.
"Just because you've got
money, you know, HOLSTER told
the magnates, doesn't give you
license to break the law"
If all judges were like Hen
drick and FIollister maybe the
people wouldn't be so insistent in
their demand for the recall. But
all judges aren't.

politicians expressed themselves as
heartily in support Of the stand Of INC
Governor. and said his acton indicated
clearly the line ~ policy he would follow

If the Governor followed taIs line Of
policy as President ne would hc going
altogether too far. Expressions Of

Mayor Carter II HARRISON have not
had n chance as'yet toIread even the news

When it becomes
known that there is a
steady outlet at one spot
for unusual rugs the trail
of desirable Orientals
soon leads to that spot.
Ordinary rugs keep off
that trail.
1t is a matter of CON-
mon knowledge in the
Oriental rug business that
the house Of Joseph Wild
e. Co., in New York,
furnishes a constant mar
ket for rugs of extraor-
dinary merit.
AS a result, it is a m at
ter of habit among tn oSc
who search the Orient
for rugs to submit the
very best rugs obtained
to this house, regardless
of size and price.
The reputa ton of
having established a
standard is of as much
service in obtaining the
rugs as it is in dispos.
ing of them.
This standardization
applies to price as well,
Wild's rugs at $12 are
meant to be the best
rugs in this country at
the price. and those at
$4,000 the best obtain
able at that price.
While the assortment
is the largest in America.
no section of it has been
collected on the quanti-
tative basis.

MY HOME

It stands by the side of tie road
way,
n cottage low and forlorn,
Whose walls are now greatly de
caying,
l.ikca beggar alltattered and torn
But its walls are all covered with
roses
And its garden is full of bright
flowers
That seem, while the dew still
reposes,
Like the ghost of far happier
hours
The grass that grows all around
Is green and of delicate tint.
And the moss on the time worn
ola shingles
Not to love it ones heart must
be flint
The porch, with its snow white
clematis,
And it's other small flowers sogay
That dance in the light of the
morning
And drive all my cares away
That tall, massive tree by the
window,
With its little old bench all alone:
Who can say what folks joys and
sorrows
That little old bench has known.
And there to the right is the for.
est,
With trees all so tall and so old
That in summer have shaded me
calmly
And in winter have kept off the
cold
To the left is the green meadow
pasture
Where cows feed and pasture all
day
And this is my dear country home

DEATHS RIVER
Original

(Orlglnal)
Each day we are nearing deaths
river,
Each day nearer homethan before
We can hear the loud rush of the
river,
AS its waters its banks overflow.
For some the river runs peaceful
With murmnrS of heaven as home
While others dash into the waters
With no thought of what is to
come
Why not make our lives so the
river
Will be crossed as though it were
a small stream,
Whose banks are covered with
flowers
Whose murmur is ever serene?
Let US help to show those around
us
The way our Master has trod,
So when they enter deaths river
1t will be to enter to the throne
of God
May to all the river run peaceful
To on one it's bank overflow,
And pray that their dear loving
Savior
May pardon all sins here below.
