Back Bay, wrote TO the editor Of that
paper as follows:
want TO protest against the sweep
ing charge made by your writer that
most all buffers drank liquor and rirted
with the women servants, the cook prin-
cipally.
Buffers now command higher salaries
than ever before. 1 have had an ex-
perenee OF thirteen years on the Back

ands of dollars worth OF plate and jewel
~ by these families. and have vet to
hear the slightest reference 10 anything
Ike being false 10 my trust.
nave educated my boy in France
and England. and am now giving him
postgraduate course in an American
college
Il do not drink. Go not hirt with
any of the female members OF the
household. and II is no exaggeration 70
say that l am not better than the aver
age butler OF the Back Bay as far az
morals is concerned.

there is fellow-feeling among the men

Let me recall 10 you. a brief extract
from the eulogy which Mark Twain
pronounced over the body OF his trusted
servant. Patrick MeAIeer
He was as full Of life as a watch
spring. and he knew everything there
was 20 know about his business. His
life ought 70 rank with that Of great
soldiers, statesmen and chief justices.
for they were no more proficient in their
professions than he was in his.
Our feelings have been hurt by the
article 10 which 1 refer. and we have
undergone a great deal o. mental suf-
fering from the annoyance so uuwit-
tingly caused us

An Expert swordfish,

Hank Carruthers, Of Block Island,
r. l., an old-time fisherman, last year
caught young sword fish, not more
than two feet long, which had refused
to leave the dead body of its mother,
which ne had harpooned after an ex-
citing fight. The young fish survived
the transportation to a tidal pond be-
hind the Carruthers homestead and the
entrance to the pond was closed with
q net to prevent his escape. Since then
Mr.. Carruthers has tanned the fish so
that 1t will feed from bis hand, and the
jneighbors had become SO accustomed
to the sight that they did not notice it
any more. Last month a French gen.
tleman, who, 10 a we'll known fencing
teacher. NJ. Tierce. had been train
Ing the Ash furtively. He had made a
soft pad of leather. which he adjusted
on the tip Of his sword, like the button
on foil. and the two gave an exhibi-
tion bout Of fencing which could not
be eQualled for nicely of action and
correctness OF dash in the Fencers'
Club. The fish apparently knows all
the rules of the game and carefully re-
trains from committing fouls He cuts
and slashes swiftly, and several times
he caught M. Terce unawares, says me
New York Press, and nearly transfixed
him. The Frenchman has offered Mr..
lCarruthers a large sum of money for
the dsh which he wishes to exhibit.
