SEPTEMBER 13th, THE SALE OF Shoes Lindsay. WILL The North American Life-«m Peterborougb. The Index to American Life as Viewed by a Citizen of Lindsay. A HOLIDAY SPENT IN NEW YORK CITY For those who have never been in a big city. the description of its life and scenes has the attractiveness of tales from another world. Mr. Parnell Merrie, organism of the Cambridge-st. Methodist church, spent a couple of months this summer in New York. Mr. Morris went there partly for an holiday but also to study music, especially vocal, under the eminent pro- fessors of that city. He was accompanied bv Mrs. Morris. In course of conversat- ion since his return Mr. Morris said: “We had a pleasant time. Of course the weather was very warm and I gave pretty close attention to my work; 50 I did not get the physical benefit I general- ly do from my holidays. THOSE “ AMERICANS" No I did not give much attention to politics or the war. If a newspaper man had been in my place he likely could have heard plenty of it; for they talk that sort of thing. But about the prospect and all that. I could not give you a very high-class :opinion. What struck me was how un- American these Americans actually are. They are nearly anybody or everybody else but Americana. Why the people you see there are of all the nationalities‘ in the world. You ride in the street car and the “American” next you is reading away ata paper printed in German, for he has not been away from the Father- land long enough to lose his relish for that tongue and larger beer. There they are-Poles, Italians, Spaniardsâ€"thousands of them, all living in their own quarters. In the Hebrew quarter there are 100,000 Jews. It is said that not more than’15;{ of the people are of pure American stock. THE ACCURSEU BALL B These Je we are a wonderful people. For aggressive, arrogant, independent, success- ful business methods they bean the world. Li‘hey seem to have an animal vitality about them that keeps them going and at the front 31‘ day, while the ordinary white man gets tired and has to sit down. If_a Jew goes into 5 shop it is astonishing with what vigor he discusses the merits of the articles shown him and if necessary just as vigorously their'demerits. Qudi» ty. quantity, priceâ€"ail these come under his criticism, and wixh no oompunotion ‘ he rej sons all offers almost insolently and hastens away. The women are just the 831110. Many of the big concerns of New Ynlk are run by J ews, or Jewish capital. The biggest venture in German Opera could not be financed till they took hold of it. Seigei-Cooper’e and Macy’s greet stores are under their management. Wannamaker in a. Hebre w. A young Jew that has a partnership in the Macy con- _oern is down at the store every morning ’in time to see it opened. Sometimes after being out to a bail all night he is driven to the store at four in the morning, gets a few hours sleep and in. on hand in Lâ€"â€"â€"_-A_ L-_._... v~u '- _-.. hie dress suit to See business begun.’ " That is an example of the business meth-i c ode and vitality ot the Jew. None of them are poor and many of them are among the money kings of New York. 1 ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE But it is on the Stock Exchange that one gets an idea of the tension of Ameri- : can business life. And yet it is a very misty idea you get of anything else about it. I spent a few hours in the gallery. There were the salesmen, the blackboarde and the various machinery for carrying on business there, but what I saw was a ‘ mass of excited, shouting, elbowing, men. , The 8 :or was inches deep in scrap paper D torn from their note books. As the sales- man ofl’ered New York Central, or sugar, or some bank stock, at a certain figure, men darted to telephone or telegraph at hand and In a moment were back in their ‘ H ~H places calling onu or holdlng up‘ their hands with some fingers up to indicate to the salesmen what they wanoed. One: young fellowâ€"a Jew by the wayâ€"was hastening about with one ehlrh sleeve ‘torn and bhe calf and link hanglng down ifrom his arm, a result of his puehlng through the crowd. For hours these 3 men stay there. losing and making for tunes between breakfast and lunch. It. costs $40,000, I am told, to become a. ‘member of the Exchange. XDBAS OF CANADA It is amusing to hear the average American talk about Canada. I do not. know much about American history but I am tar better posted on it than he is on the history of this Dominion. In geogra- phy he is worse and In his knowledge of our products and possibilities worst. I; In hard to tell whether the ignorance or feigned conbempb of these people concern - log Canada. is the more ridiculous to a Cmsdlen. They scout the Idea. that they would be glad to annex us and int!- mate that: in would not: be worth while. Some of the wealthy people are fond enough of royalty and aim by inter- marriage to become related to European crowned heads, but mostly the people dis- like the idea. They are never tired of comparing the cost of supporting the British royalty with that of carrying on their system; nor of pointing out that we haye to have the king or queen that happens to be born to the position no odds how useless, whereas they select men from themselves who are eminently fit to govern them. Yet many who talk that way were born and lived for years under monarchles in Europe. They like them no better on that account, but just what sort of government will do for all these different people at last is a question that the American future must solve. However the democratic idea is their pride. THE CITY ITSELF‘ We lived three mlles from the bnslness part and yet the nolse was constant. day and night. I could not sleep very sound- ly. On one side of us was the ordinary level railway orosslng, st right angles to M the elevated and not far swsy a. train rsn under ground. Every place else were street cars. drsys, hacks and wagons, ‘poundlng and dashing over the cobble- stones or jarring agslnsb the iron rails. The noise is terrible. On nearly all the slde streets the old horse cars are yet: need. They are the Worst sort, far worse than any I ever saw in Canada. The fact is there Is no time no put down any sort: of track. On some streets they have been trying to lay an. electric road for two years, but traffic is so dense that: it oannct be done. The city is jammed in between water on a strip of land only two mllea wide and is greatly crowded. I am very much pieased with the result of my stay. The teaching I received was far superior to what I expecbed and I fee well repaid for the time and expense of my trip. THINGS WERE UV ELY ON THE CHEESE BOARD Both Price and Proceedings Waked up on Monday. At a. former board Buyer Whitton de- ciared that he was going to say something the reporters would no: like to see when obey had it down. On Monday morning the salesmen said things that: some of the buyen will not» greahiy enj oy looking ab. Pres. Robertson rose with a pleasant expression on his physiog. for had not he juet seen the report that eleven and three sixteenths had been paid for cheese in‘ Penerboro i He said : Some people com- plained after last board because I did not adjourn it. Now it: is not my business to ‘adjourn. If anybody wants an adjourn- ment let him move for it himself. I did i not think the price called for it. Some makers have oomp‘ained that they get: too shorb notice to ship their‘ cheese. Often on Tuesday night: obey are asked to ship on Wednesday.

When the weather is hot some of them keep the curing room closed. Now" that is wrong; it. should always be venti- lated. It is a mistake to use ice on the floor. It will damage the cheese. It has got to be above and then the cool air will fall down and drive out the hot air thus causing a circulation. You might as well charge your hired man with the' clover the rain spoiled as expect your cheese maker to be responsible for the harm done by the heat of this summer.
