night with the Eagles, thus as

ROCHESTER, N. Y.
By George Fitch.,
Rochester is a town of 225,000
people, hidden away between Buf
talo and New York City on the
New York Central railway. If was
founded by the Falls of the tien
esee river, which at this point
descends over 200 feet in three
daring leaps, and which provided
horse power for the Hour mills of
New York state when the steam
engine was still in its feeble and
sputtery infancy.
Rochester is divided into six
segments like a cherry pie, by the
Genesee river, the Erie canal and
the four-track New York Central.
The Genesee elbows its way
through the business part and
compels the Erie canal to cross it
on a high stone viaduct. Hardy
mariners regard Rochester with
(error and always equip them
selves with parachutes while their
canal boats are crossing on this
dizzy edifice.
Rochester prides itself nu hav
ine 1,798 factories, most of which
are equipped with smoke consum
ers. It makes more cameras than
any other city and produces train
loads of shoes each month. Roch
ester factories stand in grassy
parks and have landscape garden
ers. The result is so ornamental
that Rochester may soon place
factories along its boulevards in
order to improve (he residence
district.
Rochester has a university, a
theological seminary and less pol
itics than any other New York
city. It will he one of the sta
tions on the new Erie canal and
will some day be a seaport on
Lake Ontario, having already ad
vanced to within a few miles of
the lake shores. It points with
pride to its churches, banks and
parks, and also to the fact that
the Twentieth Century Limited
hesitates briefly while passing
through tile city. I| is situated in
Ihe middle of the apple and scen
ery districts of western New York
and can he lived in with pleasur
able results, even by particular
people.
ONE VIRTUE.
[ have a hundred faults, 1 know
a hundred faults that I.regret; I
tried to shake them iong-$gjo, alas,
they linger with me yet^Thev
linger with me in a crdwd. they
cling upon me like a leech; of one
thing only am I proud—[ never
tried to make a speech. 1 am the
man who rocks the boat, that
most detested of all knaves; a
thousand revelers afloat I’ve sent
to wet, untimely graves; I’ve seen,
them brought in by the tide, afttf
strewn along the sandy beach,
and said, with pardonable pride,
Ah, well, 1 never made a speech.”
Alone I kidnaped Charlie Ross,
and tore him from his loved ones'
arms, and I’ve conducted, at a
loss, three imitation Gunness
farms; I slew my victims with a
spade, and murmured, as I heard
them screech: “My conscience
still is unafraid—I never tried to
make a speech.” When near the
end of human life, a comfort great
[that pilgrim knows, who can look
back upon his life and say. “I
never, never rose, the living is
ses to discuss, the unwashed mul
titude to teach; I never raised a
verbal fuss, I never tried to make
a speech.”
