New York, June 2O.-This place is
not all mad rush, as may have been
| suggested in several letters l have
written recently. There are many
who live by song and laughter and
believe you will find more wander
ing Ministries here than in other
cities.
There is. for instance, Tony, who
turns his wagon into my street sew
eral mornings each week. As he
leads his horse around the corner he
begins to sing Eyes, We Have No
Bananas" in great glee, for he has a
wagon full of bananas. "Now, ladies,
all stick your heads out the window
I'm going to sing" And sing he
does. little Italian folk songs and
snatches of opera, cutting high cap
ers in ecstatic dance. And then he
sells his bananas, Is for a quarter,
and cares little whether he makes a
sale, for at heart he is song and
dance man.
And every Friday morning there is
the old organ grinder with his little
music box. Its reeds are broken and
it wheezes and squeals as he turns
the crank, but one can distinguish
among the sour notes an the Good
Old Summer Time" and other popu-
lar hits of decade ago.
At twilight, occasionally there
comes a young Irishman with the
most powerful voice I ever heard.
He tilts his head to one side and
cups one ear with his hand as
though his voice were too strong for
his own ears. He sings Sweet Rosie
O'Grady." "Bedelia" and "Sidewaiks
Of New York" and pennies and dimes
are tossed from windows.
On holiday mornings such as
Christmas and Thanksgiving and
Easter, there come an old man and
his wife who sing carols and old
favorites such as "Silver Threads
Among the Cold" Their voices
crack and they are frequently off
key, yet they command attention
such as no opera singer ever re-
ceived. for they take grown men and
women back to their mothers knees.
And so, despite the rumble and the
roar and the 'fretting. we have our
little moments Of happiness.
"One-eye" Connolly and Tammany
Young are keen rivals for the title
Of worlds champion gate crasher.
Tammany Young has been more sue
cessful in getting into theatres and
the more polite gatherings. but
"One-eye" has achieved a national
reputation by seeing every prize fight
in the past 20 years without paying

WOMAI'S WORK

correspondent of the New York Times, writing in
style, sees the hand of big business:
certainly the meat packer and truck farm
interests are behind this. 1t doesn't seem possible
that unadulterated sentiment could be responsible
or that imagination could be feeble as to throng
to any such dish corned beef and cabbage with
out some sinister outside influence. Can't you do
something about it?
THE returns also claim that the vegetable din
ner IS the second choice of the baloters. That it
seems to me, is prma facie evidence of tampering.
1t is impossible to believe that more than a mere
handful of people could really like vegetable dinners
IF something isn't done, we are lost. Consider
for instance the laughing stock beans have made of
Boston, and then contemplate with only half an
eye what corned beef and cabbage-or vegetable
dnners-would do for New York! Visualize, if you
can, the prospect of New Yorker-one time in

BUY SHOES ON WEEK DAYS

Following the war it was believed
that much of Americas foot ailments
would be forgotten.
Style, however. resumed its place
in the say of what folk should wear.
SO the same old style of uncomfo rt-
able shoes assumed their regular
place in the march Of tired feet.
There are sensible shoes on the
market. however. Foot-sore persons
should look for them.
There is no reason to be ashamed
to ask the shoe clerk to show every
thing in the store, if it is necessary
to get a fit.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-06-20

Shoe statesmen get fussy some
times, and the purchaser takes q
shoe that does not suit. Then that
person is fussy as long as he wears
that shoe.
Saturday afternoons and Saturday
nights are bad times to go into a
shoe store. The statesmen are too
busy to give good service.
Try going into the store during
the weekdays, and sit right there
until you are satisfied that shoe
is found which is not only comfort
able, but good looking.

PRINCE NEARLY GOES BROKE
FEEDING IMPERIAL HORSES

FEEDING IMPERIAL HORSES
Budapest When the late
emperor Charles was banished,
Prince Francis Esterhazy, in a
moment Of ardor, promised to shelter
and feed the imperial horses until
such time as the Hapsburgs should
want them again."
The undertaking brought to the
prince 80 horses to care for and
maintain. and the financial strain,
recently, has been heavy. Neverthe-
less the prince held to his word,
despite the protests Of members Of
his family.
Finally the manager of the Ester
hazy estate journeyed to Spain and
explained the situation to ex-empress
Zita. She was understanding, and
the manager returned with a decree
signed by Otto, her eldest son, alb
solving the prince Of his promise.
The horses were recently sold at
auction.

You read the story of the Chicago policeman who shot
collector dead because he into service station on his

armed he would not have aroused the suspicion.
And if he had been the hodup man for whom the
policeman took him. he could have been stopped with club

Or the circumstances had been such to require arm
ing policeman collector would have been better off with

The revolver should be abolished entirely for everybody
including policemen.

The evening classes at the Putnam State Trade School are now well un- der way. The electrical department has more applications for enrolment than can be accommodated The sew ing classes. which are held in the high school building, are full and there is waiting list. There are four sewing classes a week with an enrolment of twenty five pupils in each class. Both day and night enrolment is the larg- est in the history of the school and the time is not far distant when an addi- tion to the school will be necessary to take care of the increased number of applications for admission
 For the first few years of the trade schools existence it was an effort td induce pupils to enroll The school has been it's best advertisement and the enrolment is outgrowing the available space in the large school building on Providence street.
 Two Enthusissts
 4 visit to the school Tuesday eve ming was happily chosen. Both the su- pervisor of the Putnam school. Ii. II. Ellis. and the state supervisor of state trade schools, F j. Trinder, of Hart ford, happened to be at the school and were found in the supervisors office. 1T anything was needed to instill q visitor with enthusiasm for the work being done at the Putnam school, ii was to be had Tuesday evening while being personally conducted through the various departments which were in operation and listening to Mir. Trinder and Mr. Ellis. But this was not wholly necessary It but added to the appreciation and enthusiasm en- gendered by watching the pupils of these evening classes at work.
 Serious Purpose
 + IS rather difficult to say just what impressed one most Perhaps 1t was the serious purpose and the effort be ing put forth by these night pupils to better themselves by taking advantage of the states generous offer Go teach them, both tn theory and practice, the why. how. and wherefore. of things they did during the day iH machine like manner in earning livelihood.
