take the little one to u hospital in Bal

New England Thrift.

 The proportion of men and women who retire on small competencies is doubtless greater in Massachusetts than in any other State in the Union unless 1t be Pennsylvania, which Is the other State of Dr. Benjamin Franklins residence. But a man who has even the most TO- bust respect for the thrift of the people of Massachusetts must be surprised to learn from the report of the States bu- reau of labor statistics that there are more than 45,OOO such persons-2S0OO men and 17.00O women. Two-thirds of them are native born, too. The making of such an investigation was characteristic of Massachusetts
 But 1t tells volumes about the careful management that Is a part of the New England temperement The New England man studiously saves and invests pru- dently, and when old age comes. or he has a wish to rest, he is willing to stop work and to adjust his life to his in- come; and he generally leaves a legacy also in his children. Any one who has lived in different parts of the United States has had many occasions to observe what this official report confirms-that the native New Englander has learned the art of living considerably below his income better than any other man among us.
