TRY AND GET IT, Seeking some data in The World Almanac of 1908, I chanced across the following advertisement from a Baltimore distillery: “On receipt of #3 we will ship you a one-gallow barrel of our celebrated seven-yoar- old whiskey. Hach barrel has a neat brass spigot, a drinking glass and stand, packed in plain case, We guarantee this whiskey equal to any $6 quality.”"—George H, Hall, No, 170 Hast i21st Street, OPENERS. I, was one of fourteen poker players, peated at two tables, at a party given by my sister in her Bronx apartment, when a police whistle sounded, the door opened and In walked a cop. ‘You are all under arrest,” he said. Al the Women instantly started a wild scram- ble to get away, one woman Jumping clean over a man’s back to get to the bedroom. I was too surprised to move. Presently my sister's husband walked in, a broad «rin on his face. He had induced the janitor to don his brother's lice uniform.

When I reached the sidewalk the carriage was not where I left It. Glancing down the street I saw it perched atop a junk wagon, Pursuing the wagon, I told the junkman the car- riage was mine. He told me two boys had sold it to him for 60 cents. I got my carriage buck, but had to pay half \ dollar for it.—Mrs, Gladys Kelly, No. 438 West 124th Street, ONLY A BITE. As I was snatching a few extra minutes of rest this morning I happened to hear a very soft little step alongside my bed, so I opened my eyes just a little bit—enough to see what was going on so quietly— and I saw my little girl, five years old, looking at me to see if I was still asleep, I watched to see what she was going todo next. * * * She tiptoed over to the dining-room, which is next to my room, and stood looking at a little dish on the buffet. At the same time she kept one eye on me. * * * I saw her reach up and feel the pear, then the banana, the grapes, the apple and so on until she came to the peach. Then I saw her look over at me again and she thought I wasn't looking, so she took a nice big bite at the peach, * * * She did not look at me this time. * * * You should have seen her face! I laughed so much I woke up the baby beside me. The fruit is artificial. —Mrs. Fred Ercolano, No, 110 West 109th Street. ae OFFICER 3487, A sad drizzle was dampening the spirits of hundreds of people coming out of Carnegie Hall at Seventh Avenue and 57th Street. Suddenly the air was pierced by the cry of a woman, “Officer! Officer!” I turned and saw that a little blond woman was calling to the traffic Policeman. “Officer! You directed me to this car, and two cars already have passed thfs corner and refused to stop for me.” * * © The policeman dropped traffic and ran over to her. “Yes, madam,” he said! “It's too bad you've been kept waiting in the wet. The cars that have passed probably were being sent back to the barn, only a few blocks down, The next one will surely take you on; I'll guarantee that.” He remained there, too, the woman insisting that he should at least “see” her onto the car. The car came and she was lost in the crowd that pushed into ft. The policeman hurried back to his post. It was all done tn such a kindly way and, despite the excitement of the woman, with such patience that I thought it would be nice to report the policeman’s number. It is 3487.—Charlotte Biber, No, 128 | West 13th Street.

OUT OF TOWN, 'WHO'S AFRAID?” ie At the Danbury Fair, in front of a fakir's tent on the outer walls of which were displayed huge colored posters of gigantic snakes strangling deer and other animals, stood a dilapidated barker, dressed in cheap tmitation of an Arab, About his neck was draped a dopey python while in his hands he held @ bull snake some four feet long. He was howling about the “viclousness” of these reptiles and an awed crowd stood at a safe distance. * * ® Suddenly a girl of about fifteen darted forward, grabbed the bull snake in both hands, danced around in circles and shouted in glee. The barker, as the saying ts, threw a fit. He grabbed the child and there was a merry mix-up which lasted some seconds, the crowd now screaming with fear. Eventually the showman recovered his snake, and the girl, with shouts of laughter, danced off. For the time being the “show” was dead.—E, Windsor Kemble, Patterson, N. Y. Liber LIKE A PIG. My story is about our family cow and the pig we are trying to raise for the winter, From the way the pig has been going lately I feel sure he will be a great success by Thanksgiving. * * * The cow gives a pail of delicious milk twice a day. Last night, when Mr. B. went out to milk, somewhat later than usual, what did he see but Mr, Pig helping himself to the very last drop of the cow's milk! His meal finished, the porker simply tumbled over, all in. He looked more like a big fat football than anything else I could think of. * * © Our customers had to go back to their homes with empty pails. And with but one thought, 7 o'clock in the morning and black coffee. * * © We've locked the pig up, charged with profiteering. —Mrs. Sarah Brown, Northport, L. I. FIENDISH. I was standing on the platform of a car oa my Erle train was pulling out of Jersey City a few days ago when I saw a bulldog tied to the car by a rope and making frantic efforts to run as fast as the train was going.

BRONX THE GILENT DRAMA. Just as soon as the film at Fay's The- atre, Boston Road, the Bronx, was screened last night one of those too well- known pests started reading the titles aloud. Hard loos and su:castie com- ments did not deter him, But an elderly man, also a sufferer, turned the annoy- ance into jusement, for he started reading almost in chorus with the pest, finishing his reading just an instant after him. Presently there was shown @ title which stated that the fast mati train stopped for no one. The old man read it aloud with the pest, and then commented that if the conductor could only hear the other read movie titles he'd surely stop the train, The laughter that followed drove the pest from his seat to another part of the house, and we then began to enjoy the picture.—s. Grey, No, 69% E. 170th Street, Bronx. THE APRON, I saw a curbstone vendor selling rub- ber aprons on Nassau Street. A woman had one in her hands looking at it when the vendor suddenly caught slght of an approaching policeman, hurriedly picked up his case, and ran, leaving the apron with the woman, The lady in her sur- prise stood there with her mouth open. ‘The policeman tapped her on the should- er and asked whether the man had sold It to her. She could hardly talk. A gentleman came to her assistance, and the policeman, smiling now, presented her with the apron. It really happened —to me.—TLilllan Sherwood, No. 964 Simpson Street, Bronx. THE POOR FISH! On a Willis Avenue car last night an elderly woman who carried several bun- gies sat down behind me and not having room to place all her packages beside her, put one of them on my seat.
