I LIGHTS AND J f. OF A Resume of the Cc of a Gre Containing a Small Pinch of Wholesome Philosophy Mentally Visible Between the Printed Lines. E. Lacy .Sipeer. "Have a (hie) 'nother choc^lato drop on (hie) me, Sadie. Whoopee! WowI" "Hey there, give us another halfpound box of dry Martinis." These convivial sounds rang out above a confused babel of feminine gurgles and squeaks, stopping many case-hardened, muchamazed male vic, tims of demon rum, as they passed a fashionable candy shop on upper Fifth avenue. Only fancy: wicked New York "confisitieres" (that's the way they spell it on the Avenoo) ax*e making chocolate bonbons, marron glaces and even tho common, garden variety of gum drops all filled with Jamaica rum, "forty-yard" whiskey, and other well-known roots and branches of foolish water. One woll-known candy maker tried to sugar coat Ruincrt Bruit and Pommory, but tho bubbles broke out and muHsed up his place considerably? and so he went back to the still, strong waters that are said to even- , tually "bite like a Jersey mosquito and sting likp an indignant hornet." Up in Harlem they are injecting beer into all-day "suckers," "lollypops," etc., and there, as elsewhere in the greater city, joy has reigned unconfined among the rank and file of the gentler sex, while candy makers have been fairly crushed with prosperity. And now enter the W. 0. T. IJ. This st rong and aggressive order of "white ribboncrs" has declared war on all candy with false bottoms and at recent session of tho body denunciations of the "candied curse" have caused the girls to lay in large stocks of sugar-coated jag pills, in anticipation of a sudden cutting off of supplies. ( Mrs. Fmile P. Martin, world's superintendent of the W. 0. T. T7.t said at a recent meeting held in the Thirty-seventh Street M. TJ. church: "For the last ten years this matter has been brought before the District Attorney and the Police Commissioner, and action has always been taken. Now that Dr. Darlington, of the Health Board, has taken up the fight in the interest of health, we feel that with such reinforcement we are bound to win, we are certainly dtermined.'' Adolph Finkelstein, of No. 120 Seventh avenue, had a cat with nineteen lives. Her name was "Nasty," and she certainly was, as Policeman Kraus can attest. Nasty, propelled by a sudden "brain storm," suddenly arched her back, put her rudder into the direct perpendicular, gave several preliminary "spits" and yells, and then proceeded to claw large chunks out of the atmosphere. Two little girls got into Nasty's radius of action, and she attacked them with all the vioiousness and streingth of a mad animal. A small boy, Samuel Finkelstein, who attempted to rescue the girls, was also l scratched and bitten. I When the cat. attacked the boy, he ran to the street screaming for help, and Policeman Kraus, who was passI ing, went into the room where Nasty t still sat, looking for trouble. With a great deal of painstaking care the officer inserted half an ounce of lead into the cat's anatomy, but to no effect, lie ,fircd again and again, planting in nil ten bullets in Nasty's heaving form. This exhausted his stock bf ammunition, and lie went to the police station for niore. hi the meantime another officer came along and found the cat somewhat subdued, and hunting around for something to eat. 'This policeman fired nine more regulation bul'v lets into Nasty, a total of nineteen, {, and she, finding herself giving a \ good imitation of a porous plaster, \ gave up the ghost in disgust. At this writing pathologists of the Willard Parker Hospital were analyzing the brain of Nasty to find out whether or not the animal was suffering from the rabies when she attacked the children. One fact, however, needs no post-mortem corroboration?Nasty died of acute lend poisoning, even if the Finkelsteins are] wondering whether Nasty might pos SHADOWS : NEW YORK..

'? sibly "come back." ui ^ |'(i They have their own way of settling affairs (and, incidentally, people at times) over in Italy, and little hf Vincenti Gezzino, at Second avenue br and Houston street, followed the il- sn lustrious examples of his forebears (^( when he stuck a knife into a playmate's breast. w Little Vincenzo and Francisco Alfordo were boxing, surrounded by a group of playmates, with Vincenzo having a shade the better of it, when Francisco's brother Antonio slipped {l> in and struck Vincenzo a violent 'K blow in the mouth. The stricken lad eo staggered, pressed his hand to his of mouth, and saw it was stained with blood. pt With a look of "hatred, Vincenzo turned and ran to his home on Stan- a ton street. lie was not gone long, ev and the boys were there when he re- H turned. With an immobile face he th approached, and with a quiet word brought a flame to Antonio's faec. *h Antonio's fist shot out. Little Vincenzo took the blow smiling, but the instant Antonio's arm had spent " its force and his body was unguarded f'1: little Vincenzo's hand came from liehind his back like a flash and the st fingers gripped a nine-inch blade, so Little Vincenzo struck swiftly, and ai the blade was buried in Antonio's m body, i^s lie fell, lit lie Vincenzo he struck again, this time in the chest, t.v Policeman Heutte, of the Fifth be street station, was nearby, and, see- XI ing Antonio fall, rushed forward. The ty group of boys had dispersed silently almost as the blade flashed. It had come down to them from their fatli- ei crs' fathers that what had taken tli place was not to be spoken of. Only .li little Vincenzo was there, standing Y over Antonio, when Heutte arrived. < ) "Who stabbed him?" asked TTeut,0 gi "T," said little Vincenzo, laconi- 11 cally. n, Later, word was received at the h< police station that Antonio was inor- hi tally wounded. "Antonio will die," they told lit- s< tie Vincenzo. jj "He will die," little Vincenzo re- ni peated, speaking the word slowly as if a confirming a fact he had long before ti accepted. . * ? ? Help! Burglars! Police! came si/.- p zling over the telephone wire which t! leads into police headquarters. <r Fast Fiftv-fift.il Street Station was a called up from central, and here the p desk sergeant dropped the receiver, banged the gong that is wont to stir k the reserves from "spades trump" <> in their pinochle dreams to "clubs d trump" in the onrushing patrol wa- ti Ron. The call for help came from Miss n Elizabeth Smith, night nurse at the Babies' Hospital, owing to the fact that she had observed a light in the li dining-room at an unearthly hour in t the morning. ;l The night nurses were called into consultation, and while the general consensus of opinion was that the b burglar might be good looking and p a desirable man to chat with, still no chances should be taken. p Hence the call for help and the a "lmrry-np" wagon filled with "gum- s shoe artists" and husky blue coats. 1 The hospital was quickly surround- a ed, and with several subdued "liists" / the men in plain clothes entered and r were escorted to the dining-room door v and told to "<ro as far as thev liked." ^ And then Miss Smith made a noise like a hoop and rolled awav. li I he detectives found the dining- v room in perfect order?no windows y open?no silver disturbed, and the s babies' toy banks intact. li Suddenly the eagle eye of one of 1 the "Sherlocks" fell upon a half- h burned match in front of the ice 1 box?also some crumbs. ?"Aha," lie hissed, and his com- f panions ejaculated "g-r-r" 0nd wait- a ed, with drawn revolvers and maybe t with overdrawn bank accounts. v "My massive brain deduces," he h exclaimed. "Listen"? v "Here is the ice box, here the n crumbs, here a half-burned match, s J Nurses are human and have appeti- v les. Appetites demand food. Henee v the ice box, also the light, and like- a wise the reason. There was no bur- e gin v." "Say. your last lead was hearts, wasn't il ?" said one "plain clothes a man" to a blue coat as the patrol n 'ouio does not make us truly a meinlor of the haute tuoudc nor neecssarly happy.

Let us all so live that we can look in oil painting in the face and retrain from calling it a soap cliromo, uul let us so educate ourselves that ve may be able to distinguish the lifference between a Sevres china linncr set and a "104 piece" bunch >f stoneware that comcs in on the freen trading stamp fast line. Maybe Mabclle is right. * "Your honor, send me to jail for en years instead of ten days," was he very unusual request of William Wieking, of Williamsburg, as ho itood before Magistrate Nauiner in he Manhattan Avenue Police Court, sentenced to ten days for talking nore than liis share of false joy. "T want to get square with my vifo for having mo arrested," continual the prisoner, and the magistrate, vlio is probably not married, was, to nit it mildly, much atonished. "Sorry T can't accommodate von," mswered his honor; "ton days is the ligli limit for intoxication, and your vifo refuses to press the charge of issault, upon which you were first irrested.'' "Foiled again," growled the prismcr, as he was led away, and possi>ly lie is now thinking that the only vay left for him to get square with lis wife will be l<> iro out and sandlag somebody or else steal some sil'er. ?Mi ? ?
