LIGHTS AND

E. Lacy Speer.
"Have a (hic) 'nother ehoelate
drop on (hie) me, Sadie. Whoopee!
Wow!"
"Hey there, give us another half
pound 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 Avenooy are making
chocolate bonbons, marron glaces and
even the 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 well-known candy maker tried
to sugar coat Ruinert Bruit and Pom
mery, but the bubbles broke out and
mussed 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 like an indignant hornet."
Up in Harlem they are injecting
beer into all-day "suckers," "lolly
pops," ete., and there, as elsewhere
in -the greater city, joy has reigned
uneonfined among the rank and file
of the gentler sex, while candy mak
ers have been fairly crushed with
prosperity.
And now enter the W. C. T. U.
This strong and aggressive order of
"white ribboners" has declared war
on all candy with false bottoms and
at recent session of the body denun
ciations of the ''eandied curse'' have
caused the girls to lay in large stocks
of sugar-coated jag pills, in anticipa
tion of a sudden cutting ofE of sup
plies.
Mrs. Emile D. Martin, world's su
perintendent of the W. C. T. U., said
at a recent meeting held in the Thir
ty-seventh Street M. E. church:
''For thee last ten years this mat
ter has been brought before the Dis
trict Attorney, and the Police Coin
mnissioner, 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. 129
Seventh avenue, had a cat with nine
teen lives. Her name was ''Nasty,''
and she certainly was, as Policeman
Kraus can attest.
Nasty, propelfed by a sudden
''brain storm,'' su.ddenly arched her
back, put her rudder into the direct
perpendicular, gave several prelimin
ary ''spits'' and yells, and then pro
ceeded to claw large chunks out of
the atmosphere.
Two little girls got into Nasty's
radius of action, and she attaeked
them with all the viciousness and
streingth of a mad animal. A small
boy, Samuel Finkelstein, who at
tempted to rescue the girls, was also
scratehed and bitten.
When the cat attacked the boy, he
ran to the street screaming for help,
and Policeman Kraus, who was pass
ing, went into the room where Nasty
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. He fired again and
again, planting in all ten bullets in
Nasty's heaving form. This exhaust
ed his stock bf ammunition, and he
went to the police station for more.
In the meantime another officer
came along and found the cat some
what subdued, and hunting around
for something to eat. -This police
man fired nine more regulation bul
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 ParNer Hospital were analyz
ing the brain of Nasty to find out
whether or not the animal was suf
fering from the rabies when she at
tacked the children. One fact, how
ever. needs nr. post-mortem corrobor
ation--Nasty died of acute lead pois

sibly "come back."
They have their own way of set
tling affairs (and, incidentally, peo
ple at times) over in Italy, and little
Vincenti Gezzino, at Second avenue
and Houston street, followed the il
lustrious examples of his forebears
when he stuck a knife into a play
mate's breast.
Little Vincenzo and Francisco Al
fordo were boxing, surrounded by a
group of playmates, with Vincenzo
having a shade the better of it, when
Francisco's brother Antonio slipped
in and struck Vincenzo a violent
blow in the mouth. The stricken lad
staggered, pressed his hand to his
mouth, and saw it was stained with
blood.
With a look of hatred, Vincenzo
turned and ran to his home on Stan
ton street. He was not gone long,
and the boys were there when he re
turned. With an immobile face he
approached, and with a quiet word
brought a flame to Antonio's faec.
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
little Vincenzo's hand came from be
hind his back like a flash and the
fingers gripped a nine-inch blade.
Little Vincenzo struck swiftly, and
the blade was buried in Antonio's
body. 4s he fell, little Vincenzo
struck again, this time in the chest.
Policeman Heutte, of the Fifth
street station, was nearby, and, see
ing Antonio fall, rushed forward. The
group of boys had dispersed silently
almost as the blade flashed. It had
come down to them from their fath
ers' fathers that what had taken
place was not to be spoken of. Only
little Vincenzo was there, standing
over Antonio, when Heutte arrived.
"Who stabbed him?'' asked Heut
te.
"I,'' said little Vincenzo,'/laconi
cally.
Later, word was received at the
police station that Antonio was mor
tally wounded.
"Antonio will die,'' they told lit
tie Vincenzo.
"He will die," little Vincenzo re
peated, speaking the word slowly as if
confirming a fact he had long before
accepted.
Help! Burglars! Police! came siz
zling over the telephone wire which
leads into police headquarters.
Ea'st Fifty-fifth Street Station was
called up from central, and here the
desk sergeant dropped the receiver,
banged the gong that is wont to stir
the reserves from "spades; trump"
in their pinochle dreams to "clubs
trump" in the onrushing patrol wa
gon.
The call for help came from Miss
Elizabeth Smith, night nurse at the
Babies' Hospital, owing to the fact
that she had observed a light in the
dining-room at an unearthly hour in
the'morning.
The night nurses were called into
consultation, and while the general
consensus of opinion was that the
burgar might be good looking and
a desirable man to chat with, still n'
chances should be taken.
Hence the call for help and the
"hurry-up" wagon filled with "gum
shoe artists" and husky blue coats.
The hospital was quickly surround
ed, and with several subdued "hists"
the men in plain clothes entered and
were escorted to the dining-room door
and told to "go as far as they lik
ed."
And then Miss Smith made a noise
like a hoop and rolled away.
The detectives found the dining
room in perfect order-no windows
open-no silver disturbed. and the
babies' toy banks intact.
Suddenly the eagle eye of one of
the "Sherlocks" fell upon a half
burned match in fr-ont of the ice
box-also some crumbs.
"Aha," he hissed, and his com
panions ejaculated "g-r-r" and wait
ed, with drawn revolvers and maybe
with overdrawn bank accounts.
"Mv massive brain deduees," he
exlaimed. "Listen"
-"Here is the ice box, here the
rumbs, here a half-burned match.
Nurses are human and have appeti
tes. Appetites demand food. Hence
the ice box. also the light, and like

and two o'clock in the afternoon.

ball rooters looked pretty much like
smalle pieces of ham in an under
done omlet. Also
Marcel waves, mery widow hate and
white shirt waists took on a color
much resembling the alleged streaks
in Haskell and Foraker.
Archie Taggart, New York's tallest
cop, stopped three line drives with
his face. Bob Francis, the Harlem
horseman, "connected with six
count them-six;" faultless examples
of Rennaisance "hen fruit.'
Eggs good, indifferent and some
perfectly reckless, painted car, wa
gon, street and innocent bystanders
a gorgeous hue. Three crates, how
ever, were found intact, and then the
Harlem small boys came down like
the wolf on the fold. Ripping off
the lids, they bombarded every car
that-came along.
"Shoot it, Devlin! Fire it home!
Get that guy!'" they howled, as they
"winged" passengers with the pre
cision of a Mathewson.
It was fun while it lasted. The
strong arm of the law didn't loom up
so that it could be noticed, as it was
afraid of having its pretty blue sleeve
mussed, and so, all told, this two
horse wagon load of eggs furnished a
typical strenuous "egg-rolling"
bee, wild enough to make the White
House lot Easter ceremony look pret
ty much like a requiem mass.
Amiel Schiff, of No. 400 East Sev
enty-fifth street, had a funny dream
the other night. Rumor has it he
dreamed that h thought the New
York America._ were winning the
championship series from Detroit.
However, be that as it may, Amiel
guffawed, "He! He! Ha! Ha! Ho!
Ho! Wow!'' when suddenly a pro
nounced jar shook the apartment
house - and he awoke to find that he
had dislocated his jaw.
A series of combination shrieks,
screams and gurgles brought the fam
ily to the rescue, but try as they
might, they were unable to unloosen
Amiel 's talk machine. The thing was
tightly jammed somewhere between
the eccentric rod and the fly wheel.
Dr. Pease bustled in from the
Presbyterian Hospital and sized up
the situation in a hurry. He then
gave Amiel a cruel swat on the jaw
and the bones snapped back into
place.
The family has thrown out Joe Mil
ler's joke book and other late hum
orous works and young Schiff will
doubtless hereafter confine his thea
tre going to tragedies.
It is "not to laugh1' with him from
now on.

Mrs. William Ellis Corey, former
ly Mabelle Gilman, a beautiful ac
tress. of New York, and Paris, takes
a fling at society that doesn't do
society a bit of good.
In a recent interview with a low
browed reporter Mrs. Corey said in
part:
"Society in New York and New.
port does not interest me in the least
as now constructed, for among the
so-called smart set there are scarce
ly any of its members who have any
appreciation and real love for -art.
As for me, I cannot live and be hap
py out of art atmosphere, and that is
why I love Paris and France. An
art atmosphere is unheard of in New
York societ.'
"New York has lots to learn. Per
haps the next generation of the
wealthy in this country-for it is the
wealthy that constitute our American
societ-will learn how to live and
how to appreciate the finer things of
life-art, music and the people with
brains and ambitions and such things.
It is really too absurd to think of
people devising new forms of enter
tainment-curious dinners and queer
and bizarre functions for the delecta
tion of their friends-when, if they
were the people such as compose the
best French and English society, they
would find amusement and entertain
ment in the gifts of their friends in
stead. Mrs. Astor is right when she
writes that the old French saloon
was the ideal society, and the nearest
approach to it we have today is mod
ern French society, where artists are
as welcome as the grandec dame.''

Let us all so live that we can look
an oil painting in the face and re
frain from calling it a soap chromo,
and let us so educate ourselves that
we may be able to distinguish the
difference between a Sevres china

Maybe Mabelle is right.
"Your honor, send me to jail for
ten years instead of ten days," was
the very unusual request of William i
Wieking, of Williamsburg, as he
stood before Magistrate Naumer in i
the Manhattan Avenue Police Court,
sentenced to ten days for talking
more than his share of false joy.
"I want to get square with my
wife for having me arrested," contin
ued the prisoner, and the magistrate,
who is probably not married, was, to
put it mildly, much atonished.
"Sorry I can't accommodate you,'
answered his honor: "ten days is the
high limit for intoxication, and your
wife refuses to press the charge of
assault, upon which you were -first
arrested.'"
"Foiled again," growled the pris
oner, as he was led away, and possi
bly he is now thinking that the only w
way left for him to get square with fc
his wife will be to go out and sand- J
bag somebody or else steal some sil- 0
