MANHATTAN WITNESS NO. 11S A NEW YORKER. . This morning as I was crossing 39th Street on my way to business I noticed an Italian peddler—a man, I should say, about fifty years old. He turned the corner at Seventh Avenue on the run, dragging his two- wheeled cart behind him. Racing after him, now about fifteen yards in the rear, was a young patrolman (his number 10484) of the 23d Precinct. This patrolman caught up with the man and grabbed him be by the arm and wrist. He started twisting the wrist, causing the peddler to lose hold of the cart and spilling the fruit into the gutter. OUT OF TOWN WITNESS NO. 218 A YONKERS MAN. I saw a meek little pushcart peddler, his wagon loaded with Bart- lett pears, hurrying along 39th Street west of Seventh Avenue. Mak- ing apparently all the speed possible, in view of his load, he came around the Seventh Avenue corner followed by an athletic looking young cop, who ran without difficulty, In the middle of the block our young minion af the law headed the little peddler off and, without warning, smashed him in the face, Then he twisted the poor fellow's wrist until the hand hung Hmp and useless.

SS TR—1921, Yesterday afternoon a beautifully marked pigeon alighted on the window sill of our office on the sixteenth floor of the building at No, 104 Broad Street and, although showing timidity when approached by humans, apparently had no desire to leave. A glass of water was brought and the bird drank of it. We observed that its legs and feet were en- tangled in a mass of fibre suggesting a hair net. Ten minutes later the bird entered the room and fled to one of the windows on the court side. Here it was captured with little difficulty and steps taken to make it free and happy again. A pair of sharp scissors removed the entanglement from its legs and it was returned to the open window. For fully a minute the pigeon remained there ap- parently giving all of us a grateful once over, Then it flew a On,an alumi- num tag fastened to o zk we read “Sg 78—1921."—C. D.

This doy atarted after the goat, Nanny ran and ran until the rope got tied up in the legs of the two other children, who toppled over with their heads on the ground and their feet in the air, Judging by the looks on their faces, they though? a cyclone had struck them.

The party included men, women, boys and girls, Whenever a race was won ‘one of the contesting mermaids the jtors would burst into a perfect V" of conversation.
