livin' like that. Some Of the janitors in
these restricted houses are regular guys
and let you slip in for nothin', but there's
always complaints and it's best to keep
away from such places.
Some of the tenants get pretty hot under
the collar. Only yesterday lady chucked
me something that looked like some coins
wrapped in paper 1t was button to
weight down a message readin' You're not
allowed in this yard. Get out Then, to
make sure 1 understood, she hollered out of
the window that was wakin' her baby and
she'd call a cop If l didn't beat 1t. Theres
lots of em like that"
Which prompts us to tell him that the
lady was probably mad enough to guitar
and feather him. He smiles weakly. Still,
one can't expect hand on a gag like that
tVV THAT kind of songs do they like
\A/ best?" says he in answer to
our query. "The sentimental
kind. Not the new ones though. The old
timers, like The Last Rose of Summer and
Silver Threads Among the Cold guess l.
get more of rise out of em singin Silver
Threads than any other song. When I was
with the circus"
Well, well, well! We are talking to an
ex-circus man. This is getting interesting
even though, on inquiry, we find he was
with a small time circus that played the
country towns Still. he was with circus,
and that we insist is exciting He was in a
musical act-Xylophone, banjo, guitar and
what not.
when I was with the circus" he resumes
when our excitement subsidies, I'VE always
got better hand with Silver Threads than
anything else we played. The people never
got tired of hearin' it. And figured when
took up this backyard work that they'd like
that oldtimer just as well in New York as
in them small towns-and I was right. It's
a great song for this business. Full of ap
peal. Makes people loosen up. I'll bet that
song has made Twin for hundreds of guys
in this game"
Little do you know, o backyard minstrel,
that if we had heard you sing "Silver
Threads Among the Gold" we wouldn't have
been interested in interviewing you and you
would have been out dime!

 This is the general condition:
 l. Illness of wage earner; careless with wages under former circum- stances, believing that in this land of plenty work would be unfailing.
 Sudden exhaustion of funds and unavailing search for work brought the family to strenuous deprivation which almost immediately became want In every case the pnan of the family denied himself that the moth CT with the young baby and the little children might have their share. In many cases this brought about illness of the wage earner. 2. Little children of IS months and ? years suddenly brought to an ex- elusive diet of beans or no diet at all sicken and die speedily.

 MARTIN SENTENCE

Asking that the death sentence inn posed on Nichan Martin be commuted to life Imprisonment, the Frank Luke, jr., Post of the American Le- zion has appealed to Elsie Toles, member of the board of pardon and paroles. in behalf of the man sen fenced to be hanged June g.
 Martin, a soldier, was convicted on circumstantial evidence of murdering
 Arthur De Steunder, who was also in war service, serving overseas with the goth Battalion. Canadian infan- try.
 It is understood that the appeal sent by the post to Miss Toles was similar to one addressed to W.-J
 Galbraith, the attorney general and member of the pardon and parole
 board As yet no date has been set
 for a meeting of the board, but the
 matter will be decided on the return of MT. Galbraith, who is out of the city at the present time.
 The case aroused considerable in- terest when the murder was discov- cred more than year ago. Accord ing to testimony that came out dur ing the trial of the case, Martin and De Steunder were travelling across country in the latter's automobile They were last seen together ir k1ngman and not far from there tho Canadian soldiers body was found
 An examination revealed the fact that he had been shot in the bacl with a .38-calibre bullet which passed through his body It is believed thai the shooting took place in the cal
 and the body was dragged a dis tance of 150 feet, where the murder
 CT attempted to burn the remains. When Martin was arrested in Cal 1 ifornia some time later, he had the automobile in his possession. Blooe l spots were noted on the car, accord ing to witnesses. The evidence
 brought out the fact that the mer
 had auarreled over money matters. l Martin now claims he can prove hi l innocence if he can get in touch witl
