Congestion In Now York Tene ment Districts Big Tim Sullivan has been looking about a bit in his Bowery kingdom and as a consequence the brainiest man in Tammany has hammered out a land tax system which he be lieves will reduce the congestion in the tenement districts a New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times Star writes Poople in my district sleep three and four to the room said he and many of the rooms have never had a ray of sun light in them They have to live that way because the rent is so high The tenement owner who is willing to tear down his old building and put up a new one with sunlight in every window and a bath in every flat is afraid to do so because he knows that his taxes would go skallyhooting up The poor devils who rent his flats would in the end pay for that higher rate of taxation Every eighth child born in New York cfty dies be cause its mother has to go to work or starve At the same time there are 40000 acres of good land lying idle within the city limits Therefore Sullivan has a plan to cut the taxes on improved real estate and increase the taxes on vacant prop erty He figures that owners would have either to build on their land which would relieve the downtown congestion or go to farming it which would indirectly have the same effect A watch dog on a farm lives better than many of my constitu ents he declares and yet after an experience of a lifetime downf there I have yet to find the equal of the families on the streets near the Bowery for industry and economy and courage Maybe my land tax plan is Bowery political economy as has been charged I like it all the better for that fact The Bowery has had to put up with Fifth avenue political economy for a good while 1 Rather Exaggerated It was his first experience in the dental chair Great Jbsephus gasped the victim j as he leaped upward What was that you put in my mourn r A rubber dam sir responded the dentist politely Rubber dam Hm I thought It was the Gatun dam from the

that the Jer sey mosquito has a rival in the now now I made the strategic mistake of undressing on the edge or a steep 2 bank where I couM dive in but could la not climb out When I was ready to dress I had a hundred yards walk on the bank before I could reach my clothes At the first step fully 10000 now nows landed upon me At the second step I was walking in a cloud By the third step the sun was dimmed in the sky After that I dont know what happened When I arrived at my clothes I was a maniac And here enters my grand tactical error There is only one rule of conduct in dealing with now nows Never swat them What ever you do dont swat them They are so vicious that in the in stant of annihilation they eject their last atom of poison into your carcass You must pluck them delicately be tween thumb and forefinger and per suade them gently to remove their proboscises from your quivering flesh It is like pulling teeth But the diffi culty was that the teeth sprouted faster than I could pull them so I swatted and so doing filled myself full of their poison This was a week ago At the pres ent moment I resemble a sadly neg lected smallpox convalescent HISTORIC IV10UND AT MEMPHIS On Its Summit De Soto Was Received by the Chickasaw Chief in 1541 Under the lead ot the residents of the southwest portion of the city there is a renewal of activity for the purchase of Jackson Mound Park and a email amount of adjacent property as an addition to the public park sys tem People favoring the purchase have drawn up a petition which sets out why they think that the property tdiould be purchased by the city These mounds have a historical valuo that is beyond calculation Upon the summit of one of them in May 1541 De Soto was received by the Chickasaw chief This was twenty three years before the birth of Shake speare it was sixty six years before Jamestown was settled it was seventy-nine years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock It is there fore the oldest landmark in the United States Beneath the bluff here during the Civil war the gunboat Arkansas was built Being such a historical landmark it is highly important that the city should own and keep sacred forever this memorable spot Memphis Com mercial Appeal Wanted Dog Massage Because Alexandria hotel Los An geles refused to massage her bulldog with electric appliances Mrs Henry T Phillips and maid of New York re fused to register Mrs Phillips had three maids a man servant and a brindle bulldog Before I register said Mrs Phil lips to the chief clerk Mr Sibbald I must be assured that my dog will have sanitary quarters with plenty of light and sunshine I do not expect to tabe him to my rooms but he must be massaged by the barber with elec tric appliances Mr Sibbard gasped his astonish ment then politely and gently de clared that it was against the rles Very well then the woman snap ped indignantly Come give me the chain boy Come Brutus and she swept from the lobby to a taxicab Exchange Smokers Faces Tell It A cigar dealer in one of the stands at the Union depot in Kansas City can tell what kind of a cigar a man smokes just by looking at him He becomes quite proficient in reading mens faces so far as their purchases of tobacco wares is concerned I have been in the cigar business 26 years he said It has been my ex perience that a dark haired man with a dark complexion wants a heavy smoke a Havana cigar A light hair ed man with a fair skin prefers a light smoke The dark man enjoys a pipe while the blonde likes the cigar ette The most trying demand the cigar man has to hazard is Give me a good cigar There are some excep tions of course but if a dealer fol lowed my rule of light and dark he will generally please the customer Lamp for Matching Colors U S Consul Augustus E Ingram of Bradford England reports the inven tion of a new lamp for matching colors by artificial light The source of light may be a metallic filament incandes cent electric lamp or a gas or petrole um incandescent lamp The advantages of the new lamp are cheapness uni formity in the quality and quantity of the light given and great illumination The light filters are formed of a spe cial blue glass with a special green glass and the results have been ex cellent Before and After As the anthem was ended the preach er arose relates the Rams Horn and began to read from Acts 20 And aft er the uproar was ceased But
