A. n. Anderson. }. +. Morgan X Go.
partner, Is one Of the very few-and
possibly the only--individua who owns
a real, honest-to-goodness lighthouse
outright. It's a used lighthouse and
therefore may not have been bargain
at S1,150, which was the price he paid
the government for 1t, but still custom
ers for used lighthouses are not many.
For years, the light kept ships of
the rocks at GrlnneIl Point up in
Maine. II was still in fairly good con-
ditlon But times and aids to naviga
ton changed and ii out-lived Its use
fitness. So the government, with an
ever ready use for money, sold 1t along
with eight others.
1t seems that Mr. Anderson's inter
est in lighthouses is confined to this
one because It is close to the 60-acre
property he owns up there. This as
sumption is borne out by the fact that
having bought 1t he doesn't intend to
make any use Of it whatsoever.
Slipping along from lighthouses to
pickpockets, there were those three
gentlemen Of that profession who spent
a night In the Forty-seventh street po-
lice station. AS a cell uiute they had
a plumber, a rather mussed and drunk
On plumber who didn't look as IL he
had done much plumbing lately, and
therefore was no prospect at ALL
When the plumber faced the Judge
the next morning and made an offer
to pay the policeman, whose uniform
he had torn in a little encounter, IS
damages and to take the pledge. the
pickp0ckets were bit interested.
They were stiil more Interested when
the Judge accepted the offer and the
plumber drew out roll of $235 and
made payment after he had kissed the
Bible and babe farewell to booze for
year.
The pickpockets were released for
lack Of evidence They didn't seem to
be entirely happy, however.
Moving to another neighborhood In
New York Is like moving to another
city: We found that out when we
came down from Washington Heights
to Riverside drive and One Hundred
and Fourth street. We found 1t out
again recently when we moved over
from Riverside drive to Central park
West.
