of the hunger for beauty on mean streets, there developed the Settlement at AS Henry street, which bears the name Of MT. Riis. It stands within a stones throw Of many a door in which he sat friendless and forIorn trying to hide from the policeman who would not let him sleep, and of the BoWery lodging-house where almost starved to death he lay senseless on the stairs after his first days work in the news paper office
 'sHOw the Other Half Lfves.''
 The comfortably lodged who had not red blood enough in their veins to feel for those to whom ever erythdng was de- nied and not sense enough to make out the facts when they saw them about school houses, playgrounds and better. tenements always aroused his special scorn.
 How MT. Riis came to be a speaker he never knew. and he greatly enjoyed reading in a country newspaper that fa vo1ub1e German with a voice like a sQueaky cellar door, had been in town. At first the churches were most unwilling to give a. hearing to the wrongs of Mulberry street, but at last he obtained permission to show the pictures he had taken by f1ashlight in the homes Into which he had gone as police reporter After one of his illustrated lectures the editors of ACS@NA4AA& article. How che Other Half Avess was the result.
 With tongue or pen, his argument shaped itself into the fundamental one of the rescue of the home and the making of tenements which shelter- ed two million human souls as nearly fit as might be. He summoned the American people to look the matter squarely in the face. James Russell Lowell wrote to him after reading F Dante must when he looked over the edge of the abyss. at the bottom Of which Gorgon lay in ambush found it hard to get to sleep the night after had been reading your book .
 Government and the Peoples Life
 His ideas of good government began and ended with the peoples life. Af- ter thirty years of work he knew that the conditions of New York's crowded tenement quarter still made for un- righteousness and that the great mass of respectable Workingmen of the city must dwell there with their families ssYet the work" he said twas not l and seeing. it is impossible that the monstrous wrong should go unri ghted We have only begun to find out what government can do for mankind in the day when we shall all think enough about the common good, the res pubIica, to forget about ourselves

"In nine eases out of ten they are lads of normal impulses whose resources have all been snoth- erred by the sllrn. of whom the street ana it's Iawlessness and the tenement that is without home have made ruff fans. With better opportunities they they might have been heroes.
 The Power of Facts.
 Once when there was some fear of a. cholera epidemic, MT. Faiis took his camera went LID to the Croton water- shed, spent a week photographing the sources of pollution and forced the city to buy a. strip of land along the streams that discharged into the Cro- ton River. ssIt takes lot of telling to make a city know when 1t Is doing wrong" said he. sIt is just a. ques- tion of endurance.

 For years MT. Riis worked at night. sAt a. n., he said, 'sthe veneering is off and you see the true grain of a Roosevelt as police commissioner was willing to get up when other people slept and see what the town looked like in the night.

 The plot admits the introduction or many interesting places in and about Bridgeport.
