A Curious COmmiinlty.
In Hoboken, N. J., there is a curi—
011s place known asiif‘the old bogt
O'1aveya1'd” where more than a hm:~
dred canal boats, in various stages of
rottenness and repair are lying about
in the black mud or floating on the
tide. At least fifty families live on
these boats, some of whom have lived
there many years. Others are wait-
ing only long enough for their boats
to be repaired. The “graveyard,” or
basin,” has a community life of its
own, with a, saloouand town pump.
The saloon is built __on a canal boat
that was old fifty years ago. : Never-
theless it is the most pretentious
building in the settlement, having
three doors and several windows, and
being freshly covered ' with green
paint. In front of it is the pump,
from which the occupants of the boats
procure all the water they need for
domestic and drinking purposes. The
old inhabitants ,pay wharfage for
their boats on the same terms as
though the craft could really float.
This is a community in which nearly
every head of a family owns his home
but has not paid for a place to keep
it. The boats belonging to the old
Settlers, it is true, could not be sold or
given away unless they were still to
be used as houses and left in their
present places. The people who live
on them are not scrupulous as to their
surroundings and cheerfully accept
malaria and “Skeeters” and all the
other ills attendant upon thei1 state
of life.
Not A Proper Day. '
At last a woman was in the as-
cendant, and the city officials had met
to discuss a matter of vital import~
ance. . '
“I think,” said the Mayor, as she
looked in the Oflice mirror to see if the
wind had taken the curl out of her
hair, “that we should have a special
meeting of the council to consider this
matter.”
. “I quite agree with you,” said the
chairwoman of the Finance Commit-
tee. “What day and hour would you
suggest for it?”
“How would Monday afternoon at”—
It seemed as if shewere interrupted
by all the department- heads at once.
“What!” they cried. “Bargain day
at the department stores!” ,
It was many months before the
Mayor regained the prestige she lost
by that thoughtless remark—Chicago
Post.
‘ . “Worst Kind of a Case.
“You look Thin and careworn, Trad-
ley," said the man in the russet shoes.
“Insomuial”. replied Tadicy, with a
groan.
“Insomnia?” repeated the man in
the russet shoes. “0111
a. man with no more 'than you have
to worry iii-m doesn’t get insomnia.“
“It’s the baby that’s got 11,”. ex-
plained Tadiey, as he stepped off the
ferrybont and resumed his struggle
with life.
