He has just learned in New York how “Hello, Mike!" is played. It has cost him his money and his baggage check, but, fortunately for Henry, his ticket was in his hand. “Hello, Mike!” requires three players, Two of them take a po- sition near the ticket window in the railroad station. They observe the various passengers. Presently they nominate the third player. . He is unaware of the honor conferred on him, and goes, immediately he has bought his ticket and put his money in his pocket, directly to the train gates. One of the players is in front of him, the other behind him. Just before Henry passes through the gates the first two players’ faces light up with recognition of each other. “Hello, Mike!” shouts the one in front of Henry and makes a rush for the player behind Henry. The latter gleefully rushes forward. Henry is caught in be- tween; he is pushed, shoved, buffeted by the apparently delightful men, striving so hard to get at each other for a handshake. Henry can’t re- sent appareitly unintentional mauling under such circumstdnces. He gets out of the way almost apologetically. He goes to his car and sits down, Presently’ he feels/in his pocket. His money is gone! He thinks—“Hello, Mike!"—Charles R. Knight, No. 309 Park Avenue. AN OLD NEW YORK BURIAL- MR. STEINMETZ. GROUND. I am employed at the Grand Central While passing through Prince | Station, and while on duty there to-day 1 was approached by a short man who wore no hat. He asked for a match. As he lighted up I asked him if he was not afraid he'd catch cold without a hat. “No,” he answered and added in slightly broken English: ‘I always go this way, Is that Albany train ready yet?" As he Walked away I noticed he carried under his arm a@ copy of a magazine of adventure stories. One of the other employes then came up and asked if 1 knew who the man was. “Why, he's Steinmetz, the electrical wizard, on his way up te Schenectady,” he said. And he was so unassuming.— W. G. Scoute, No, 363 Lake Street, Newark, N. J, Street to-day I saw a high brick wall which surrounds the burial ground between Mott and Mulberry Streets, The wall hides from view the tombstones of the departed par- ishioners of old St, Patrick's Church whtoh years ago was the Cathedral. Near the southwest corner I noticed @ high monument which rises about ton feet above the wall. On it saw carved in the granite a wreath sur- rounding four words which ez- pressed the grief of some husband and father in the long ago. The four simple words were “My Wife and Child.”"—James J.

He seemed afraid he was being followed. “Say, mate,” he said, “I have a great fur piece here which I'll sell you cheap.” I asked him where he got it. “Don't ask me," he answered, “but you can have it for $20. It is worth eighty.” Then he showed me a tag on which was marked $80. Divining that he was a crook, I told him I had no money, Then I saw him approach another man, who appeared interested, but he also did not buy, Presently I saw the crook walk away from him and join another man, whereupon both got into a taxi and rolled away. —John Stevenson, No. 1210 Brook Avenue, Bronx. OUT OF TOWN. A DECEMBER FISH STORY. HE gold fish inbabiting, in part, the 30-gallon aquarium in my T library died from some unknown cause. I went with a friend to a small brook in the country, where we snared thirteen pike, from two to six inches in length. I put these in the aquarium, in which were thirty-two small rock bass. The next morning I was surprised to find ali the bass and two of the small pike missing. The mystery deepened the next morning, when four more pike were gone. By Sat- / urday only the two largest pike remained and on Sunday morning only one remained. This one had two tails—he hadn't been able to swallow quite all of the other one.—W. H.

CARRY 'EM OUT, CORPORAL! enjoyed the best gym period this morning we ever had at Boys’ High School. Following the drill the class was divided into two armies, each commanded by a teacher, and began playing dodgeball. Two basketballs were the ammunition. The game was to throw both of them at the soldiers in the opposing army. A hit meant a “kill,” and the soldier had to be taken off the fleld. The two Generals threw out the balls, The battle was on. Such dodging! Such cries of battle! Such warnings! Such shouts of glee! The battle waxed more furious. Advances! Retreats! Reconnaisances, deploy- ments, sallies, and—dodge! But the period bell brought the battle to aclose. We'd probably be fighting yet had it not rung, and it was great fun.—Louis Pincus, No. 107 Floyd Street, Brooklyn. EOUR TONS OF COAL—NEXT DOOR.
