MANHATTAN. SAILORMAN’S BRIDE. : AM EMPLOYED as a money order clerk in Station G of the New ] York Post Office. To-day I was approached there by a young woman who wanted to.cash a money order for $100. When I asked her if she could identify herself as the payee, she said she had not known that this would be necessary. I expressed my regret, but ex- plained that under the rules I could not pay over the money until she Batisfied me that she was the person named in the order. * 8 At first she was inclined to be noisy, fault-finding and somewhat abu- sive, and as a consequence a small crowd gathered to see how it was all going to come out. In the midst of her tantrums the young woman happened to think of something. Throwing off a fur wrap and rolling back a sleeve, she showed me the name tattooed upon her forearm. I handed over the money without further question.—Max Rosenberg, No. 1024 Boston Road, Bronx. “80 SHINES A GOOD DEED.” The Third Avenue “L” atation, at 129th Street 1a a pussling place late at night to the uninitiated, Friday night I saw a seventy-year-old em- ployee take the arm of a very feeble old lady passenger who had inquired the way to the uptown trains and escort her with the air of a cavalier to the bridge and down the flight of steps to the platform, remaining toith her until ehe safely boarded her train.

At the Worcester end I put up at the Y, M. . here in New York at No. 309 Park Avenue. To-night at 6.45 o'clock I was hurrying down Park Avenue to Grand Central Station to get my train when a man jumped out at me at 46th Street and, shoving a shiny gun into my ribs, said: “Stick 'em up, buddy!” The look of determination on his face and the thought that his finger might twitch too hard on that trigger prompted me to obey orders and lift my hands. I lifted them high too, hoping some passing motorist might see my plight and intervene. * * * The hold-up man quickly slipped my roll into his pocket and then grabbed my watch, * * * A railroad man, you know, cannot move without his watch, and seeing that leaving me helped me to find my tongue. “Where do YOU get that ‘buddy’ stuff?" I asked. “Wh: he coun- tered, “did YOU see service?" ‘Two years on the other side with the llth Engineers,” I replied. * * © He carefully split my roll, placed half of it back in one of my pockets, returned my watch and asked for my name and address. “All right, 2 Company,” he said, “Tl return this ‘loan’ the first minute I can.

SEEN FROM THE HALL OF FAME, To your list of remarkable views let of fame at New York Unfversity Looking from the colonnade where the memories of great Americans are per- petually enshrined, I saw the Harlem River, winding around the north shore of Manhattan to meet the broader Hud- son. The stately Palisades were enally perceptible in the distance, as were the woods of New Jersey, with an occasion- al church spire against the clear sky. Almost at my feet appeared some of the huddled apartment houses of upper Manhattan, with the long, thin line of the Broadway subway cutting its way from north to south, Occasionally 1 heard the screech of a siren from a ship passing up the Hudson, All this amidst @ quiet that can be found in but few places in New York.—Manuel Gelles, No. 1420 Prospect Avenue, Bronx. BABY CARRIAGE ON FIRE. On 156th Street, near Westchester Avenue, where I was walking pfter midnight this morning, a woman rushed from an apartment e and almost knocked over, “My God!" she ex clalmed, “there's a buby carriage afire!”” I saw gomething blazing in the hallway. I ran to the fire alarm box on the cor- ner and turned in the alarm. Mean- while another chap Joined me and we ran back to the house. Then, until the arrival of the Fire Department, we were kept busy quieting the excited tenants and passing two small children through a window. The firing of the baby car- rage in the hall seemed the work of a pyromaniac, but, fortunately, little dam- age was done.—Clifford Anderson, No. 712 Unton Avenue, Bronx. A VISIT TO BROAD STREBT HOS- PITAL, During a visit yesterday to the Broad Street Hospital T saw the good that Is accomplished by such public institu- tlons, I saw the free clinic thronged with people of foreign birth, newcomers to our country, who have not found this new land of their adoption lacking tn sympathy and aid during their moment of allment and distress. Each was carefully attended to, given the best cf treatment, and I could not hetp but hope that as they departed that their allegiance to the country was strength- ened by their contacts with one of its {nstitutions.—Arthur J. Connolly, No. 2055 Grand Concourse, Bronx. WIFEY S A QUESTION. I was watching @ sociable game list night in home of a friend, In one hand the betting narrowed down to Mr. R, and Mr W., the host. They raised and re-raised each other, Mra, W., who was standin; behind her husband, eud- denly leaned over and pointing to Is hand, said; “What does it signify, dear, when you have four aces?” Mr W.'s poker face changed to one of dis- gust, and with a snort he threw his cards down and walked from the room H.

Well, he said the rules of his organization made it impossible for him to use a shovel.

IAD always believed that I lived in a quiet, residential section I of Yonkers, but to-day while out walking along Wakefield Ave- nue with my little girl I heard the sound of a buzz saw, I could hardly believe my ears, for I was quite sure there was neither lumber yard nor furniture factory about. * * * Very soon I recched the spot from which the sounds were coming. Instead of a lumber yard I saw in the back yard of a residence a man cutting his winter wood In an improved fashion. * * * He had a Ford car with its rear wheel jacked up. The tire of this wheel had been removed from the rim and {n the rim groove I saw a leather belt, the other end of which extended back a short distance to a wheel on a shaft. To this was attached a good-sized circular saw. The motor of the car was running and the saw was spinning as efficiently as if driven by steam power or electricity. * * Iam going to build myself a house in the country some day and if I am lucky enough to have a car I know I can save myself the cost of lumber and at the same time have plenty of logs for the open fireplace.—John A, Marshall, No. 85 Hyatt Avenue, Yonkers.
