A Jady brought her little girl of eight to my office to-day, and nat- urally the child was very nervous and began crying, After having one tooth filled she ran out into the reception room, still sobbing and ready to so home immediately. As she reached the door her mother asked her what she was going to say to the “nice, kind doctor,” and, with tears running down her cheeks, the child made a curtsy and said: “Please, I’ve ha-ada vo-e-ry plea-sant tl-m-e!"—W. A. Horngr, D. D. S., No. 38 West 33d Street. THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW. Two donkeys, led by a boy, were crossing Fifth Avenue, at 57th Street, on Saturday, when a girl slapped one of the animals on the flank with her handbag. The donkey started to back, dragying its fellow, and, despite the protests of the boy, they backed up on the sidewalk, from which thoy refused to budge until a big trafic cop walked toward them.

I., when I heard a succession of clear, sharp bird notes. ‘here is a big square bird bath under a shady spruce tree close at hand. Ferns grow around the bath, and I bad placed half a dozen ‘beautiful abalone shells in the moss, thinking that they would be better for the small birds when robins, fleckers, bluejays and other such bathers monopolize the larger pool. * * © Watching the branches from which the cries came, I saw a young catbird, recently graduated from a nest in my Dorothy Perkins rose vine, hopping down from branch to brunch, screaming as he came. Then, perched on the mossy edge of the pool, he eyed the sunfilcked water, joyously anxious for a bath. As he tested its depth, however, he drew back fike a scared kiddie at the beach, Then his bright eyes espied my shells and, screaming with delight, he Jumped into the one néarest him, Yrom this he entered the second. * * * He had reacbed the third shell when a gray shadow flashed through the branches and I saw the birdlet’s father perched on the arih of my rus- tle seat with a bright crimson raspberry, last of the summer's yield, in his beak. Father called and called, but the baby bird splashed on re- gardiess until the third shell was empty, Then he hurried to his parent, quickly swallowed the berry and flashed back for a fourth shell bath, screaming with delight as before, He gained courage and, leaving the shells, finished his experience in the big pool, Then he sought a sunny branch and shook the glistening drops from his gray- and-black feathers, while a devoted parent returned again and again with more good things to satisfy a seashore appetite,—Maud B, Booth, No. 34 West 28th Street, OPEN TO ALL READERS Name of Winner in Te-Night’s Pictorial Edition. “Beware of fulse prophets the clothing’ of t inwardly they are ravening why didn’t you preach on the Gospel Are you one of those false heep's That ge for Four Weeks.

THE MAN IN THE BLACK BAG. ‘To-day, during the noon hour, while crossing the Willis Avenue Bridge, I noticed a crowd collecteg,on the Manhattan side near tho « river, and, being curious, I crossed the roadway to see what was going on. On the dock which projects into the Harlem River at about 127th Street I saw a smaller gathering of men, women and boys surrounding aman who was being placed in a black cloth bag in which he soon was completely inclosed. The bag then was drawn to the water's edge, and at a signal it was tossed into the river. It seemed to be only a matter of seconds before a man’s head and shoulders came to the surface, the black bag and a lot of smal! chains in his left hand. Then he swam as best he could and was pulled out on reaching the dock. Then I saw, a short distance away at the stern of the Cohocton, a movie operator who had been taking {t all in with his camera. This explained the dar- ing of the man in the black bag. The crowd dispersed, looking for an- other thriller—H, A.

He carried a cane and had a news- paper with him, When he was about to sit down he discovered that the bench was out of order and he narrowly escaped a bad fall. Up to this point we had not paid much attention to him, but immediately he began a little confidential talk to us, He shook the stick and waved the paper. “Tho caretaker of this park,” be said, “ought to be com- pelled to see that all these benches are in good condition.

He opened up conversation with me by complaining that it was extremely dificult to read his newspaper there because of the poor lighting. He also complained that the seats were stiff and uncomfortable. He often finds, he said, that the air is a bit stuffy. I felt like reminding him that the Hotel Commodore, right next door, has a vety pleasing lobby, but instead, I asked him how he likes the Pennsylvania Station.
