 Grade ?. A Pathetic Incident.
 A pathetic incident in connection with the case of Matthew Dempsey of Canaan, whose leg was recently amputated ss a result of typhoid fever, occurred Mon. day. Up to that time the httle fellow did not know that the operation had been performed. On Monday morning he awoke, crying violently, and inform. ed the nurse that he had just had dream that his leg had been cut off. The nurse thought best not to tell him the exact truth just at that time, but later when she went into the room Matthew had been making an investigation and had found that the lower portion of his leg was gone and that his dream was found. ed on fact. The nurse then explained to him that his life could not have beeu saved had not the opdrasion been per formed, and he replied that he wanted to live and had rather lose the leg than die. When the possibilities of artificial limbs were explained to him and when the brighter side of the matter had been presented, the smiles returned to his face and his view of the situation became most optimistic. Too Much Hoodluuism. For number of months it has seemed to Canaanites that the hoodlumism which has been moro or less rampant here could be well dispensed with. Prop erty has been damaged, the laws ignored and the rights of people interfered with. Two cases in point occurred on Mon- day of the present week. Fred s. Scam. erhorn found that three of his traps had been appropriated and by bit of detect i've work discovered that they had been removed by Russell Drumm and John Banahan. On the same day c. H. Pease was informed that someone had been making targets of the windows in his house boat which occupies its winter perch on land owned by the Berkshire Power Company along tho banks of the Blackberry river. Mir. Pease unexpect- edly appeared to Drumm and Banahan who still had the rifle in their posses sion. They admitted their guilt and terms of settlement were agreed upon. Mir. Scamerhorn also indicated certain things that the young men must do if they wished to evade the clutches of the | law and as there have been no arrests, it ! is fair to presume that his requirements have been complied with.

NEW BUILDINGS IN ANACOSTIA

While for many years past the northern
and northwestern suburbs of Washington
have attracted the attention Of both local
and out-of-town homeseekers and invest
ors 1t was not until comparatively recent
times that real estate activities and sub
stantia1 developments stamped Anacostia
and the adjoining highlands to the east,
northeast and southeast as one of the rap
idly growing and prosperous suburban sec
lions of the District.
A leading business man Of Washington
who, in proof of his faith in the future of
the eastern suburbs, has invested largely
in property in Anacostia and vicinity re-
Gently remarked:
at seems strange that this beautiful sec
ton, directly in sight of the dome of the
national Capitol should have been over
looked and practically neglected for so
many years when other less desirable sec
lions have forged SO rapidly to the 'front.'
The natural advantages for resident sites
of Anacostia and the neighboring highlands
are particularly striking. While it is gen
orally supposed that all Of Anacostia lies
low, as a matter of fact the largest and
most attractive part lies higher than the
elevation of the Capitol, being from 100 to
200 feet above tidewater. Anacostia is par
tfcularly well located and desirable for the
citizen with q moderate income and Is
easily accessible to a car line. bringing It

streets are fifty feet wide and the lots are
OF greater depth than is customary In the
suburban subdivisions. The subdivision Ia
so plated that sewerage Is provided for,
and the location Is claimed to be an ideal
home site. Purest water Is provided on
the property. The subdivision has been
provided also with city conveniences, SO
that purchasers can have all modern i'm
provements in their homes. The property
is not more than five minutes walk from
the cars. The subdivision was opened ten
days ago, and arrangements have been
made for the erection of ten additional
dwellings. None of the residences cost
less than 5000. The location is about a
half mile north of Chevy Chase Circle and
1t lies east Of the Chevy Chase club house.
The subdivision No will contain twenty
five acres and one hundred lots.
