Show , We're Much Alike After all, human beings are much alike, the world over. For instance, the latest task of New York policemen is in ! scattering "Charleston Rings." The rings are not booze rings, nor counterfeiters' rings nor political rings. They are groups of New Yorkers who clog traffic as they stand around small darky urchins who are doing the Charleston dance, to the accompaniment of clapping hands, receiving therefor an occasional nickel, thrown by the more liberal members ot the audience. It is not at all likely, either, that all these persons are "provincials" seeing the sights of New York. The most of them doubtless are the regulation so-called blase New Yorkers, surprised at nothing. All of which goes to show that the great human family has much in common, especially es-pecially as to just what it finds entertaining. |
