I was having breakfast in an eating-place in West Street when a young man entered and asked the proprietor for something to eat. He sajd he had been out of work three months and had not had a bite to eat for two days.

Every- dody stopped to have another look. If the woman was one of those who indulge in “baby talk" to their pets T wouldn't take the trouble to write about the incident. But she didn't. She merely wheeled the carrlage along. The collie was stretched out as {f lazy or indifferent or day-dreaming.

QUEENS “THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A GOOD CRY.” We al knew our dog “Nellie” was a devoted mother and above the average intelligence for a dog, and what I saw last night makes her appear more human than ever. Nellfe has four puppies. We were awakened in the night by thelr whining. They were two days old “Nellie” tried to console them but without avail. She grabbed the one that was making the most noise and twice walked the length of the room with ft. It continued to cry and “Nellie” dropped it on the floor in the middle of the room and went through the same performance with the others, There was no lessening their crying, however, and finally “Nellie” sat down in the centre of her young family and cried with them.—Anna M.

He wears a Palm Beach suit and a Pan- ama hat and always carries a parcel. I also had noticed that when he reached the vacant lot on the next corner he tossed the parcel into the weeds and walked on. My curiosity aroused, I went there yesterday when he had passed and saw that the parcel consiated of a tin can or two and the remains of a late supper and an early breakfast. I made inquirtes and learned that he rooms with a family on Bay Elghth Street. * © * Well, I decided that this sort of thing was not to be tolerated—we don't want to be bothered with more files and more mos- quitoes and possibly rats—and I spoke to a nelghbor who ts a police- woman. “I'll put a stop to that,” she said, and this morning she sat with me on the porch (her badge shining bright) when the man passed.
