NEW YORK LETTER. =.
NEW YORK, May 25-The mar
kets are opening in Hester street on
the lower East Side. Hester street
is the only remaining touch Of the
polyglot life Of the slums. Marble
apartment houses with elevators are
wiplng out the seething tenement
bee hives.
But Hester street, where everyone
has something to sell remains.
Double rows Of push-carts and
moving curiosity shops line the curbs
from one end to the other. From
these carts the shopper may select
furs. notions. ribbons and laces.
clothing. hardware, shoes and cook
ing utensils. Anything the Ghetto
desires is on display.
The other day. however. one Of the
old-time institutions was destroyed
with the adjustment of the horse
cars that run on Avenue c. A new
merchant is dispensing baked sweet
potatoes from the oven of sheet iron
stove on wheels. One push cart man
sells fish, ice cream and pickles.
fine gastronomic mixture. Another
is filled with raisins.
Apples dipped In candy may be
purchased for one cent apiece and
a man with rings of rusty keys for
sale has made Il living there for sew
eral years. He also carried side
line of wax candles and matches
which make the great white way of
Hester street.

There is a real sob story sleeping
in New York if the sob squad could
only corner the hero. But he is too
shy to be interviewed. Despite the
fact that he stands out as one Of
New York's greatest humorIsts he is
as lugubrious in looks as Long
Island funeral procession.

he was a boy his right hand tried
to dispute the right with an axe

FISH LINES OF GREAT LENGTH
Many of Those Employed in Fishing
for HaIibut Declared to Be
Sixty Miles Long.

The most of the halibut are caught
with the hook and line. The fishing,
however, has nothing gamy or sport
ing about it. The lines are dropped
down into the sea in such a way that
the baited hooks rest on the bed OF
the ocean. The lines are Of great
length. Some of them are so miles
long; when loaded with fish it takes
the steam engine on the vessel the
better part Of a day to wind them up.
They are divided into sections, each
section having a feat OF buoy that
rests on the surface, and is marked
by a flag in the daytime and at night
by a light. The line lies right on the
bed of the sea. Attached to it are
hundreds of hooks and each hook is
baited. The halibut swallows the bait
and is caught on the hook and held
there until the line is drawn up. These
fish always feed on or close to the bed
Of the ocean.-Christian Herald.

Medina "Eans.U

There are some people who attend
weddings with just as much enthu-
isiasm as a baseball or tennis fan,
whether they are invited or not, and
seemingly enjoy the excitement Of the
qmoment and the attendant fuss and
feathers. There are said to be funeral
fans, too; people who attend funerals
merely out of morbid curiosity. OF
course, the wedding fans are most in
evidence at the big town weddings,
which mark the alliance between two
prominent and wealthy families, OIL the
marriage of an American heiress to a
pennies duke. They are mostly wom-
en-, and they attend regularly all Of
the smart weddings. If they cannot
edge their way past the sexton who
takes she invitation cards, they con-
gregate around the street awning, and
are frequently of such number, as to
interfere with the street pedestrians.
The wedding fan, in fact, has become
a highly Objectionable feature at all
Of the large churches in the social
zone, especially on Fifth avenue, and
extra precautions are strenuously OBJ
served in order to keep them out of
the church.-New York Times.

FORCE IN THE COMMUNITY
Man With the "Talent for Silence"
Generally Recognized for Strong
Parsonage He Is.

There is a "gift Of CAB" and there
Ia a talent for silence" Everybody
CLASHES somewhere under four head
ings: Those who a. nothing because
they haze nothing to say; those VINO
have nothing to say. but say 1t; o
Who have something to say and say
it, and those who4say nothing in spite
of having something to say. The 2
named are rare, says . writer in the
|: Boston Globe. Il behooveg those VINO
have the "gift OF CAB" to strive for the
talent for silence" and hose VINO
have the talent for silence" to try to
acquire some gift of CAB"
But better q thousand gabblers than
the silence Of one cold, cunning man
who encouraged ardent and generous
people to do all the talking in order
that he may conceal his cards while
they show theirs. That silence is COM
non among men whom authority and
wealth have made crafty.
Character speaks a language Of its
own. The silent man does not need
to speak in order to make himself
heard. We sense his opinions and
dread his silent disapproval more than
open r~eproaches. The man
who can bear complaints without COM
planning; who can take an earful of
insult without retorting; who can en-
dure misjudgment without a fit of
the suIks-the man who keeps his
mouth shut and saws wood-he is such
a force in the community as he little
dreams of being. 1t is not anything
that he does; it is what he is.

The Oldest of Trees,

AS to the ages of trees, it is not the
oak which is, as Dryden, or another,
has it, the patriarch" The oldest
trees on earth are the tremendous con
ifers standing in one of the Cali
fornian valleys. Older than Abraham,
they have rolled around with the
world, alive, for many more centuries
than any mere oak; and not long ago
one of them fell. There he lies, and
you climb his side by a ladder. And
the rest-or many Of then-are in
their last few centuries, as is evident
from their dwindling tops.
That is what surprises the tourist
that having lived through human
history they are now dying. They
are now cared for, if things so strange
and SO august can be said to W any
thing to mans care; but man for hun
dreds of decades gave them hard
usage; their hollows are black with
the fires lighted within by Indian ma
lions long vanished.-London Chroni-
Gle.

Remembered Old Habit.

II. Gassaway Davis, once a United
States senator and later candidate for
vice president on the Parker ticket,
was a brakeman before he became a
millionaire and is said on one historic
occasion, while sleeping soundly in the
senate chamber, to have dreamed that
he was still guiding an unruly freight
car through the mountainG of West
Virginia. The dream was inspired by
a nearby colleague, Senator Allen G
Thurman, who blew two mighty blasts
on his nose. Davis thinking he had
heard the freight whistle, seized his
desk as if it were a brake and nearly
twisted the thing from it's mornings
before he came to-.

NOT ALL DUE TO HEREDITY
Experience of Physician That Caused
Him to Revise His Opinion OF
Case He Mas Attending.

Heredity is a great force, n Of the
greatest in the world. But it is pos
sible to overlook even heredity, and
soxn jealous doctors, legislators and
social reformers are doing it, asserts
the Chicago Journal. AS a sample OF
the pitfalls into which they tumble,
consider this true story.
A doctor, who Is also N OF the
ablest psychologists in the United
States, had for q patient a young wom-
an Of extreme, morbid nervousness.
Her mother showed precisely similar
traits, and . little investigation re-
yealed the fact that the grandmother
was as irritable and excitable al any
Of her descendants. It looked like q
clear case Of heredtty, but the doctor
was cautious. He inquired a little
farther-and then threw away his
notes.
The young woman, her mother and
her grandmother were all excessive
users OF coffee; regular coffee topers.
They absorbed enough Of this delight
full drink every day to put an edge on
the nerves of an athlete. Their nerv-
was not an Inheritance, but
the result of an unconscious drug
habit.
If legislatures were as careful as the
doctor-psychologist in this story, there
would be fewer fool laws on u stat
ute books.

IF YOU WANT TO SAVE
MONEY, READ THIS.

In an article in 'The Family Money"
department of the November American
Magazine, a-writer says:
srWhen an old uncle of mine died
and left me a little bequest of $545. my
first impulse was to even it off, and
if it hadn't been for an old friend OF
my fathers 1 think I would have sue
ceeded in neatly pairing it down to
zero.
What were you thinking of doing
with that money! he asked casually
one day.
well I replied, I think I'll just
take that $45 and go for a little lake
trip, and then I'll have 5000 to put in
the bank
why $500? he said. Why not
$545?'
"'Oh,' replied, you might as well
have an even amount
DO you suppose you could spare
me five dollars? p he asked suddenly.
"eWhy yes l replied, a little sur
prised that he should ask to borrow
money OF me; but l handed it to him.
call right, them he said; here's
five doIlars-handing me back that
same bill. If you just put this with
that $545 you'll have $3.50, and that's 3
nice even amount. Now, if you'll put
that in the bank, in three months it
will have earned fVe-ffty more, and
surely in tie meantime you can scrape
together S44.5O, and then you'll have
an even $500 instead of $780,
"'Well, what could 1 do with $500"

NOTHING LOST BY COURTESY
May at Times Seem a Small Thing,
But II Has the Power Of Ac-
compIishing Much.

Courtesy is like oil upon troubled
waters. There is an inevitable amount
of friction in everyday life. Courtesy
reduces this friction to a minimum.
The happy outcome of a days work
may easily be determined by a CHEEKY
Good morning" at it's beginning. 4
knitted brow and a grudging greeting
may be harbingers OF failure in the
days work.
In the elevator, at the telephone, at
the bench and in the office-at every
point of contact between man and
man little thought for the feelings
of others is a pleasant lubricant in the
joints of life. 1t reduces the jar of the
human machinery, promotes good feel
ing, adds to the worlds stock Of self
respect.
i. 1t is better to request than to com
mand, better to smile than to frown,
better to help than to hinder even in
the smallest things. A courteous mar
and a courteous woman furnish the
salt that makes life palatable to, the
soul.
Our common allotment Of happiness.
Of contentment, of the Joy Of living is
all too small. By robbing those about
us Of their share we rob ourselves in
the long run. Let Is add to- that
share instead of detract from it. Let
US respect scrupulously the small
rights of others; regard for the big
rights will then become a matter OF
habit.
