The education Of the blind and
partially sighted children of the
State is a most worthy canse and
the Tennessee School for the
Blind at Nashville is asking,
through its superintendent, Prof.
|. S. Wampler, the cooperation
of the State press and pnblic IN
general in extending the educa-
tional advantages of the school
to as many Of these unfortunates
as possible.
All citizens Of the State and
especially local officials and child
welfare organizations and work
ers are asked to report to Prof.
Wampler the names of the
partially sighted and blind in
their communities and to assist
in every way possible toward get
ting parents and friends in
terested in taking steps to get
eligible pupils in the school.
The courses include Literary
work. vocal and instrumental
music, typewriting, manual
training, etc. All of these are
free, including boar'l, laundry,
medical attention and the use of
books and instruments.
Prof. Wampler says: "When
it is remembered that the totally
blind child, lacking in education,
is without hope and has no show
at all, but that with proper train
ing may become a useful and
happy citizen, it is deplorable
that through lack of information
regarding the advantages that
might be obtained, it should be
allowed to grow up IN ignor-
ance."
Prof. W ampler will be glad to
send catalog to anyone int rest
ed or to supply any other infor-
nation sought in regard to the
school.

To tell this outwardly cool young
husband of hers that there would
be no divorce, that for reasons
which she could net fathom she

but once they grip a man,
they demand a degree of at
tention which in turn brings greater
pleasure to the hobby-afflicted in
dividual and thereby gives to the
hobby new zest.
Charles L. Brigham, 1875 E street
southeast, spent a dozen of his twen-
ty-nine years as chief yeoman in
the navy without having any par
ticular hobby. Then, of a sudden,
while on a. European tour with the
Second Division of the Atlantic
fleet in 1908, he accidentally fell
under the spell of a hobby to OBJ
be typical of every foreign city he
visited.
He brought home with him elev-
en- wooden cases filled with over
100 strange specimens of pottery,
each one distinctive of the land from
which it came, and each pitcher
coming from a different city.
Since that time he has been keen
ly interested in adding to his col
lection from different points in this
country.
His army of milk pitchers makes
it possible for Bringham to have
his milk served in a different ves
sci every day for almost four
months. The odd designs range

New York City
Day by Day
Ry n n McINTYRE
BY o. o. MCINTYRE.

NEW YORK. Jan. THE gum
man has changed. When I came to
this more or less popI1ous island,
Chick Trigger, Louie the Lump and
Big Jack Zelig were in their prime.
Their rendezvous was in Paul
Kelly's saloon in Chinatown. Their
killings were among themselves. If
some rival gangster "spieled" too
often with his girl at an East Side
racket, he was found pistoled at
dawn by a passing cop.
At times the gangs planned bat
ties at Coney Island, and would meet
there and open fire. A bullet might
accidentally fell an innocent by
stander, but that rarely happened,
for the gunman was a sure shct.
Today that gunman is rapacious
murderer of defenseless citizens.
Every New York newspaper has
the same description for the gum
man - "a stocky. handy legged,
swarthy man who wears a cap" A
few months ago the mayor said
there was no crime wave, and now
he issues a proclamation for citizens
to arm themselves. And yet if a
citizen carries a gun he is liable to
a penitentiafy sentence under the
anti pistol law.
The daring of the three gunmen
who held up guests in their room at
the Astor shows to what length the
criminals have gone here. The large
hotel is as well poliCed as any city.
There is an armed watchman on
each floor, and house detectives are
constantly. patroling the halls and
1~h h..
cious persons.
In the old days this gunman, de-
spite his calling, was a romantic
figure in the life of the teeming
East Side. He wore the loudest
shirts. He realized that the pres
ent hour might be the last, so he
lived high and had many amours.
Today the gunman is a Sinking
coward who brews his plans for
murder over the glass of poison
whisky in the Eighth avenue sa-
looms. In almost every case the
gunman has killed his man without
giving him a chance. He kills first
and robs afterward.
The Bowery and Chinatown have
always been the most interesting
spots to me in New York and dur
ing my first year became a friend
of Chuck Conners, whose pearl der
by and white box coat are famous.
Chuck was the Mayor of China
town. He said dis" and dat" and
shot the words out of the side of
his mouth. He was a poseur, too,
but at heart a good fellow He is
gone now and so are Chick Trigger,
Louie the Lump and Big Jack Zelig
the last three dying as they lived
by the gun. ~
Chuck used to take me to the
haunts Of the gangsters and I knew
quite a number. They were mere
boys-self indulgent and lazy. They
fought for the love of adventure
and for the admiration of the Molls.
Two hat room pirates in a Broad
way dansant had a battle over a
spool of thread the other night.
When they were pulled apart it
was learned that they use white
thread to loosen change from tight
wads. They cut the thread in little
strips. When a patron refuses to
tip for being brushed Off, the boys
wait until he reaches the front door
then rush after him and begin ap-
pareptly to pull a number ofywhite
ravellings off his back. Then they
show them to the tightwad. 1t is
always good for dime.

to the U. S. A.
Perhaps those which seem most
remarkable to the children of the

ham to view his curios. are the mu-
steal stems, from under whose pew
