To tell the tnith. Molly was not quite so

shrinking his tail dimensions to something

The dullness. the fact that msdsm‘l

He might even perhaps have kept up till

For that matter. though. a great many
things are very clicap in New York. We
hear much. fir insmuoe. about high route.
but lllvri‘ are low rents. too. I have when
thrcc very good rooms. in a well-kept t. lir-
mcnt house. in a good and convenient
neighborhood. for $10 a mouth. Four
rooms in a house of the same kind can be
had for $15 a month. In neighborhoods
not so desirable. two good rooms can be
had for $7 or $5. There are hundreds of
cheap restaurants. where a person of small
means may get a meal for twenty or twenty.
five cents. and some gccrtainly not attract
ivc. though: where he may do so for ten 02
fifteen cents. llonsckccpem may buy gm
ceries as cheaply in New York as anywhere
in the country. Flour is always at the bot-
tom price. and it is so with many other
things needed in the kitchen. Meat and
butter are high. yet I find that in some
towns and villagm. sixty miles away. when!
living is supposed to be l‘lli-al‘. the prices
are about the samc. Fuel is clet‘iy. yet not
more so. on the whole. t an In some of (lit
same country places. In fact. coal is highcl
ct many points on the railroads which bring
millions of tons of coal to New York. than
in New York itself. Dry goods are cheaper.
taking the line through. than in any other
city on the continent. and the same is true
of men‘s clothing. feet-wear. etc. Probably
no other city has as large u percentage of
very costly living as New York. but it has a
great deal of very cheap living. too. which
in good of its kind. Every now and then
there is a discussion in some newspaper
shout the possibility of a small family living
on $10 u week. As a mutt“ of fact. hun-
dreds of small funilies do live on $10 a
week. or even less. and seem to be just us
healthy as if spending fivc:or ten times as
much. Their chief drawback is that they
have to live in poor neighborhinia with
plenum. surroundings. .

I met but Week a gentleman very largcly
interested in Mexican affairs. lie was in
nu irate condition of mind over some thing:
which had appeared in the papels concern ,
lug the disturbed condition of atlairs in that
country. “ It is all nonesensc." said he.
” There is no lawlessness in Mexico more
than there is anywhere. The City of Mexico
itself has the best police force and is under
the best control of any city I know any-
thing about. There is no rullianism there.
and you’ can find an oiliccr on every block.
day and night. After dark the policemen
all carry lanterns. so that you cun find them
whenever you want to. Out in the remote
frontier districts the same order of things
prevails that is in rogue in our distant pos-
sesssions. It is certainly no worse there
than it is anywhere else. and I have myself
been in mining camps of the West where
things were a good deal livelier than any-
thing there is in Mexico. The information
we get about revolutionary bands is all
buldenlseh. In America these revolutionists
would simply be called roadngems. They

would steal anything they could lay their
hands on. whether it belonged to the Gov-
ernment or to anything else. Some of you
newspaper chaps up' here ought to go down

there got into the habit of chucking per-
sonalities around pretty briskly and the
fintthingho knew he WM called out to
fight a duel. He went to the plat» of
meeting all right enough. but when he got
there he concluded that he would not fight.
Ilia opponent. n fierce Spaniard. ofi'orcd

“ You may kill [he if you like." he said.
“ but I won‘t fight." After urging him for
some time without avail the challenger run
him through the body and he died in four
days. A little while afterwards mother
