"The inhumanity of cities" over whelmed hiiur How many of us hav had a aimiiar experience! > In one of the large apartment houtscu iu which 1 have lived on the Wpat Hid?, my^front door when it swuug open touched the. front door of my neat door neighbor, divided from me ouly by a thin wall of lenn than half a foot. One morning on going out 1 met a pleasant-faced man emerging from this door .Wo exchanged the caa ual walutatlon of housemates. Thla ?we repeated on several subsequent occasions. In a casual wuy . I nev er knew his name. Que morning, about six weeks later, 1 asked the elevator boy what had beoome of the man. "He died two weeks ago," was his response, "and this body waa taken out after nightfall and car ried to the cemetery." Here was this man who by every law of life and every creed of Christianity waB my neighbor' ? my nearest neighbor. I could almoat hear him breathe at night through the Intervening wall. And yet, he had sickened, lie had suffered, he had gone through tno agony or travail of death> Ho had been carried out In his mid night casket to the grave and his family had come back to the AH** guish and desolation of an unspeak able bereavement. And I who was "this man's neigh bor" had neither , ministered jto his suffering In life, stood by him in the iiour and article of ' death, nor comforted the crowning sorrow of those who cam^ back to hie broken and desolate home ? just within a foot of the light and love and laughter of my own ? because in the rush of our big world 1 did not know. I have never gotten over that incident. I never will. Something ought to be done about it. If aome thlng could be done. We pay a fierce price for the Joy of citiea. Too many people make any one person unimportant. Great als. in the multitudes we forget crowds dwarf and minify Indlvldu each other too often in life and In death. . . ' When a man dlea among two or three in a little community, it Is a tragedy. ' It darkens the sky, it shadow* the- spirit; It bows tfyft head itt reverence and - . humility and sympathy; But when one dies among five millions, the little gap made by the passing of the atom closes up so quickly from the mighty mass that It 1b difficult to remember that the atom ever lived or even died. Prom which I come to say that the cities are not much of a place for old people or people who die. They should find a softer and sln?r pier life and h. quieter place In which to enacltwthe last great trag edy of life, which lur death: I would like to live In a great olty all ray vigorous life. But I would like to grow old and die in the little country town where the neighbors would come to ask after me In the last days, follow me kindly to the church yard when I was gone, and come back for a little tender touch of comfort to those ?who were left behind. Is it not well now and then jto halt this mad rnah of living and give space to a little breathing time, of charity and tenderness for those who die? ? John Temple Graves.

Fortress of Slltstfla. Should Hou mania persuade Bulgaria to hand over SUlsttia as "compenaa tion" for her masterly inactivity dur Ing the war, ahe will have secured aa almost Impregnable fortress. Ovei and over again Sll\strla has been at tacked and taken, but since the Rub elans last captured the city her fortl flcations have been regarded as invul nerable. By the congress of Berlin It was decided that the forts should be demolished, but, like some mora important clauses in that "peace with honor" treaty, the decision was hon ored in the breach. . .
