New York, July s.-As Samuel
Pepys would record In his diary: Up
at the SUMS rising and called to the
court yard, where a scrivener of my
acquaintance and two cronies were be-
fuddled and trying to talk in Latin.
though they were not drunk to scan
dal. and called a hackney coach and
had them sent to the paid bath house
In q brave benzine buggy through
the town and marveled at the hordes
of workers that filled the streets in
the twenties. Come old men, old
women. boys. men and girls, all SEEM
ing gloomy and not yet awake
Through the Ghetto many were still
asleep on their front stoops in nalf at
tire. And a little street gamin had
rescued a starved, drowning kitten
from the sewer and was trying to re-
vive it as a great crowd gathered.
At Flushing We halted and to the
LORD Chief Justice where we sat on
the bench and heard learned dis
courses on the law, and came a pretty
young woman with two children in
arms and told how her dolt of a hus-
band beat her and would furnish no
provender, and he was an impudent
upstart and made brave to grow IA
cetious
He was placed in gaol and we saw
his wife visit him for the key to her
home, and the children cried through
the bars for him-a depressing sight.
To a noble little chop house and there
had eggs, freshly laid, and crisp ba-
con and large cups of black coffee.
Home and on the main highway saw
Colonel Roosevelt and Mistress
Roosevelt in their gasoline Wagon
on their way to Oyster Bay
Great news OF the army any whis-
ties blowing and much celebration in
and inns along the Broad Way. A
gathering at my house for dinner and
all merry, but after they departed 1
did begin to think that the pleasure
Of these people was not worth so often
charge and cost to me. as it hath oc-
casioned me- And so to bed.
At a dinner Frank A. Vanderlip
the banker, gave to a group Of writers
the other night at the Metropolitan
Club, Irwin Cobb, just back from the
other side, told of the interest the
English were taking in baseball.
In one game where thousands from
London looked on, there was a Turk
playing. He came to the bat at
critical moment when a hit was need
ed. Before stepping up to the plate
he lifted his head in prayer and num-
bled: Allah Allah, Giveth strength
to me to maketh a hit"
Then he stepped up to the plate.
Evidently his hasty prayer was not
heard, for he famed out. The next
batter was a husky young 1rtshman
from the United States. He spat on
his hands, grabbed the bat and, look
ing up into the skies, shouted: You
know me, Al"' He knocked a home
run.
And, speaking Of baseball, recent
headline in a New York paper read:
Love in Box for Yankees" For some
reason or other. It is difficult to think
Of love in anything except a cottage.
Thus does genealogical tradition
make towards of us all.
Three hundred leading physicians
and surgeons of New York gave a
splendid dinner recently to DR.. Annie
Sturges Daniel, "The Little Doctor of
the East Side" She couldn't under
stand what all the fuss was about
and why she. should be taken away
from her beloved poor to listen TO the
praises that were heaped upon her.
She has been friend. apologist. coun-
selior and guide to the East Side for
thirty years. The great human bee
hive refers to her and the Diety in
the same breath and tone. DIR. Daniel
does not give much medicine. she be-
lieyes in helping the sick to recover
with encoura cement. She never aj-
vises an operation. She believes that
nature Is the great healer and she
puts the minds of the East Side I'm a
receptive mood for natures balm. She
Is not rich herself. but she stlll gives
all, save her modest living expenses,
to those who need It most. -
