A prominent writer, who likes a
drop Of two with his meals, goes oc-
casionally to a cafe on Broadway for
luncheon. He makes a point Of sit
ting at the same table whenever pos
sible, so that he has become fairly
well acquainted with the waiter in
charge of that table. This particular
cafe is one Of the few in New York
where the walters are colored men.
The other day he slipped into his
fayorite place and reached for the
menu. In an instant the waiter,
whose name is Gabe, was lowering
over him.

Gabe, remembering mighty well his

ago by someone with a keen sense of
the ludicrous. For this particular
Broadway is bounded on one side by
a marsh, a good, representative oozy
marsh at that; and along the other
side are perched the one-story homes
of the employees of the garbage plant.
In many of these little shacks it is
said that two and sometimes three
families exist. In a majority it is
alleged that boarders are taken. In
fact, some of those who have been
looking over social conditions at Bar
rem island seem inclined to think that
entirely too many boarders are taken
in some of the tiny shacks that serve
as dwellings.
Filth and Diamonds.
Not many months ago, two or three
of Commissioner Goldwater's staff
journeyed down to Barren island
made a careful survey of health condi-
tons and came back home with re-
port that caused establishment in the
health department Offices. They found
partial supply of good water on the
island; but also found that large
proportion of the people were drink
ing water from surface wells. Further
more, it was found that modern sani-
tary conveniences are practically un-
known; that babies and ducks and
cows and goats wallow side by side in
the muck Of Broadway" that while
there is school on the island there is
no truant officer, and that because
OF this the children may go to school
or not just as they choose. Also that

them or fitted to their years and sizes.
But there is a delightful picturesque
ness about their old shawls, the shoes
far too large, when existant at all, and
frankly lacking toe or upper; about
the enveloping skirts, the occasional
scarecrow hat-a wealth of gypsylike
color and most attractive abandon,
testifying to the fact that in the opin-
ion Of these little people fine raiment
occupies but small and unimportant
place in the general scheme of the
universe.
And happy? Why, those sprites of
the refuse heaps are as cheerful and
joyous as if they were wading through
fields of wild flowers up in Westches-
ter county and chasing butterflies and
gathering early apples instead of
scurrying up hill of refuse and then
delving below it's surface in the hope
of discovering a bit of china or
silver teaspoon, an old watch chain or
other trinket that can be polished and
frightened and eventually sold.
Religious life on Barren island is
represented by two churches, wherein
services are held on Sunday So far
as could be ascertained no resident
pastor has been assigned to Barren
island for many years, if ever. 1t

missionary effort by those organiza-

PUZZLED
Hard, Sometimes, to Raise Children.

food to fit the body, than that of adults
Nature works more accurately through
the children.

had long been troubled with weak
digestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste Of
any kind of cereal food. He was q
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what to feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts
Well, you never saw child eat with
such a relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and ! think he
would have liked the food for dinner

Commissioner Goldwater's men, who
has been on a trip Of investigation,
"but down at Barren island almost
every foreman or other important per-
sOnage wears diamonds-and / am
told that every one of them was picked
up in those heaps of refuse. This, re-
member, after the refuse has been
screened, crushed and examined with
minute care for just such valuable
'pickings.''
Russians, Slavonians, Poles and ne
groes apparently constitute the pre-
dominant strains Of population, al
though other peoples are TO be found,
including Italians. Rumor has it, in
fact, that the political leader Of Bar

one at that. Life down there may
not be all beer and skittles-a although
if health department surmises are
correct a considerable part of it may
be beer CT liquid cousins thereto.
But so far as can be ascertained by
an outsider the islanders are far from
an unhappy community. They work
hard, it is true, in and around the
reduction plant, at least the men do;
and their womenfolk seem to work
just as hard about their little homes,
while the boys and girls, when they
are not attending school, find plenty
of occupation in searching for hidden
treasure in those huge heaps of refuse.
