The doors of opportunity remain
open for years, but they close with
bang, and they never reopen. We are
responsible for the good we might do,
and the world is poorer for our neglect,

is something that needs doing, don't

At which time the post office moved
to the present federal building in City
Hall park.
On the site of the present subtreas-
ury, at Pine, Nassau and Wall streets,
new city hall was erected in 1899. In
front of the building was a cage for
criminals, With whipping post and
stocks-but not the kind of stocks they
sell there now. When independence
was declared the building became the
capitol and was called Federal hall.
Here the Declaration of independence
was read from the steps in l776, and
here also Washington was inaugurated
first president of the United States, in
1910. .-
The wide strip of pavement on the
west side of Nassau street in front OF
the Bankers Trust building bears evil
denCe of the former existence of Fed
eral hall The latter extended across
Nassau street to the building line of
the street and so closed the thorough
fare that passageway was estab-
Hshed around the building in order
that pedestrians might more readily
get to Nassau street. When the sub
treasury was built in 1886 on the site
of Federal hall, Nassau street was
opened to Wall street, and the little
passageway was left, and forms the
wide sidewalk of today.-Equitable

alacrity, for the fact that he was
hungry was suddenly borne In upon
him..
"Golly!" he exclaimed for the third
time that day. "a whole tablecloth and

They sat down.

But this time the soldier training
was again brought into play. and the
corned beef and salmon were once
more bravely tackled. But, perhaps
because Judy loved her husband so.
the power was given to her to read
him like book. She was sure he was
choking the food down just to please
her, and again a tear appeared. This

OF course there was nothing for
Bob to do but to hurry around the
table and take the little wife in his
arms.
'You knew / couldn't cook when you
married me-" she choked. "and l
haven't had the chance to learn yet
but I WILL"
The walls Of the little room echoed
with Bob's laughter. Indignant. Judy
tried to pull away. but his strong
arms held her close. Then he told
her of that awful ten days in the Ar
gonne forest when canned salmon and
canned salmon only had been the regi-
ment's steady diet, three meals day
and described the mems feeling to-
ward it. Then how. for more than two
weeks, they had subsisted entirely on

Thanksgiving dinner had consisted OF
cabbage as the piece de resistance.
