Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish has such an
assured place in society that she
does not hesitate to tell of her hus-
bands early struggles with the
world. In fact, she is rather fond
of doing so. While in Nice last
spring she related at dinner party
how Mr.. Fish worked his way up
to the presidency of the Illinois
Central rail- Dad. A German prince
ling, who was among the guests, re-
marked, with just the trace of a
sheer, 81 had always heard that
your husband came from a fine fam
ily." Mrs. Fish met this thrust
with perfect good nature. ooh, yes,
he does. But, you see, in America
it is not disgrace to work. How
much better it would be if those
conditions prevailed in Europe? We
in America would be spared SO many
titled nonentities."

HE DIDN'T REPORT.

Colonel Mills, superintendent Of
the West Point academy, has a repu-
tation for ctornness ovon among ar
my men. Years ago, when he first
took command of the post at Buff
falo, he found that station extreme
ly lax in discipline, and it was no
secret among his friends that he
proposed to work some reforms.
Shortly after his installation he was
one day annoyed by the receipt of q
telegram from subordinate off on a
furlough which read, "Will not re-
port today, as expected, account I'M
avoidable circumstances"
The tone of the message was not
at all to Colonel Mills mind, and he
wired at once in reply, REPORT as
expected or give reasons"
Within an hour the following
message came over the wires, dated
from hospital in New York:
'"Train off; can't ride. Legs off !;
can't walk. Will not report unless
you insist"
The colonel did not insist.

A Hospital Sunday at Woodstock.

A decade has passed since the late
Hiram Hitchcock opened to the peo-
pie the hospital he built at Hanover,
N. II. Meanwhile thousand pa
tients have been admitted, and Wood
stock has had its full share.
To all it has given advantages
they could not have had in their
own homes, and to many its privi-
leges have been free. 1t is therefore
most fitting that our town should
make return for benefits received,
and it is proposed to take up a col
lection for this hospital in all the
churches on the first Sunday in Sep
tember. Its current expenses are
far in advance of its receipts; hence
the need is urgent. Let all give
according to their ability, remember
ing that a donation in which many
have a part is more effective than an
equal gift from few, then we shall
not only lend substantial aid to a
worthy cause, but set an example
which it is hoped neighboring towns
will follow. Checks may be drawn
on the Mary Hitchcock Memorial
Hospital.

Thieves Stealing Flowers from
Graves in Alpine Cemetery
Proved to be Cows.
TAKEN TO POUND
Will Cost the Owner SIG to Get Them Out
Keeper of Cemetery saw the Cows
on the Graves this Morning and Quick
ly Drove Them Out-MOney for the
Treasury.

Those thieves who have been steal
ing flowers from the graves in Alpine
cemetery, about whom the people have
been talking so much, have at last
been captured in the act and at 10. 15
O'Clock this morning were locked up
in the pound awaiting the owner to
arrive and pay SO each or SIC to get
them out The cuplrits are eight
COWS and they were driven to the
pound by the keeper of the cemetery.
For long time flowers have been
disappearing from the cemetery and
the keeper has kept sharp lookout.
This morning he was walking through
the cemetery when he found the COWS
quietly eating all of the flowers and
choice grass in sight. 1t did not take
him long to think over the matter.
He drove the COWS to the pound on
State street in short order. The COWS
may not be the only thieves, but it is
believed they have been doing their
share of the nuisance. Of the $l6 it
will cost to get the COWS out, half
goes to the city treasury and half to
John Buchanan.
