The GOODNESS OF new YORK
AN ATTITUDE THAT STRANGERS
HERE COMPLAIN or.
Ieliow CIuZens ana visitors Ankle Treated
With indifference by the Average New
orker-T Mistake of a Southern
Woman One kind OF Hospitality.

Is it true that New Workers are as selfish
rs residents of other cities say?
1T isn't only the New Yorker who can be
the coolest proposition that ever was, said
a New Orleans man who was sitting in the
lobby Of the Hotel Astor the other night,
"but the most cordial and warmhearted
person who comes here from any other city
soon gets into the same coldblooded way
of treating his fellow men.
This attitude Of New Workers is not as
sumed merely toward the men and women
who come from other towns. tt good
citizens practise it just as conscientiously
on one another.
I'm give you an instance OF the way they
do it. ! was walking down Wall street the
other morni ng with g man who had been
way for four years and had just got back,
He had been away so long that he had got
out Of the clammy New York way OF looking
at things and he had a real boyish enthusi-
asrp to meet his old friends.
Presently he spied in the ofing a man
he had always known and stopped him
enthusiastically, The other was polite,
"'Why, how are you, he said with no great
show OF feeling. i haven't seen you for
some time. Must have been as much as
six months since I've met you
THE returned New Yorker turned to me
after the man had passed,
"It is at the very least four years since
have seer that man, he said. My absence
has made 20 little impression on him that II
does not seem TO have been more than a few
months. Yet l used 20 meet him almost
every day
Another New Yorker told me a somewhat
similar story. He had been out West, where
he met an old friend who had been compelled
20 10 there on account OF his health and
who had been way at least six years. The
first thing the New Yorker did on his return
was TO 90 around TO the club to tell the mans
old friends that he had seen him and found
him in good health.
81 found that my news CT n man that we
had all known so well was received with very
little interest. he said, AN / soon ceased 10
tell the men a piece OF news in which had
supposed they would take great interest.
] began by saying;
""I Just saw Will Jones out West. You
know he's a great deal better and the
doctors think lie may some day be able

although he'll never he able TO live here
again

isrent answer. Bin Jones, / remember

natural" went on the man who lac told
this story. AT least 1t was not natural
in New York. There might have been
no improperly in such a thing in a South
ern town-but in New York it was incom-
prehenslble."
The oldest of the party passed his judy
ment on the episode.
THE conduct of the New York woman, =
he said, els highly characteristic OF the city.
She knew that the woman who had come
TO call on her was a lady-provided OF course
that abe was one herself. 1t would have
done her no harm in the world TO receive
her c~ourteously and TO speak TO her once
or twice when they met on the steamer.
That was all the other woman had asked.
~ was Of yours an unusual request ana
could only have been thought correct
In a country where there is kindllness OF
feeling and u~nselfshness for all. Nothing
proves more conclusively that New Workers
have no heart for anybody but themselves,
and a very small supply even for that pur-

garment they are accustomed to. and this
shows in the picture.
Il might tell a little story which illus
trates my point precisely. Among my
customers is a business man with several
children, all of whom he wished photo
graphed. First their son sat for his picture
and it WAS a great success. Then the others
in turn had theirs taken. The mother OF
the flock talked OF nothing but her new
dress, for she was then in the thToes OF
dressmaking, trying to get a gown suitable
for the occasion, She came in one day and
sat in the studio while her husband sat for
his picture. She wore a simple but ex-
ceedingly becoming gown. When the hus-
bands picture had been taken turned the
camera on her and asked her to sit still for

in the manner in which one Is accustomed,
to arrange 1t high on the head will tend to
make a short face appear longer. II ones
face is thin and long, then brushing the hair
out fluffy behind the ears will broaden it and
add the appearance Of flesh.
There is a tremendous amount OF igno-

SMALLEST BAY STATE TOWN.
Mount Washington $50 Years Old
Low and No Poo Farm.

Ao" Aho
GREAT HARRINGTON, Mass, June s.-The
smallest town in Massachusetts, Mount
Washington, 10 celebrating its i5Oth ami
versary amid the rejoicing OF its eighty
two residents. II 10 hidden away In the
mountains, and seventeen farmers, their
sons and one or two other men compose
the voters.
The affairs OF the community are con-
trolled by eight or ten farmers, whose fore
fathers for generations held the farms and
handed down prestige as we'll as lands
These men decide when the roads need
rebuilding. who shall be postmaster, what
restrictions ahall be placed on automobiles,
who shall be town constable and how the
taxes OF the place shall be levied.
The town was settled 200 years ago, but
Il was not Incorporated until later. All
the fertile farms lie from 900 to 1000 feet
above the base OF the mountains, which
mark the boundaries Of the town,
Here some of the best farmers in the State
are found, not only taking good care OF
their fertile lands, but building good roads,
keeping up the diminutive town hall, look
Ing after their--one church, Methodist in
denomination, and keeping in repair their
one ~schoolhouse. There 10 no railroad sta
ton at Mount Washington and u must he
reached by q wooded drive OF Is miles
from Great harrington or by a shorter
drive from the railroad station Of the Copake
Iron WORKS.
II 10 one OF the few towns in the State
free from debt. II has about the lowest
taxation OF all the towns In the State. There
has never been any need OF establishing a
poor farm there, for all the residents are
thrifty and well 20 do.
II contAlns the interesting Sky Farm for
which a successful play has been named.
And Il was the home OF the Goodale sisters,
who have gained some Erominence In the
world for their poetry. The Goodale farm
was built about 100 years ago and ls now
tumblIng 60 pieces. The father, Henry
doodnls, made a record onoe by raising 600
buBhel Of potatoes on an acre.

stiff appearance, and starohy effects should
be tabooed entirely. Nowadays nearly every
photographer has on hand lengths OF soft
clinging material for drapery purposes
when his subjects present themselves with
some absolutely impossible frocks and when
he can effect the substitution without hurting
their feelings. ,
Il have written out a few rules which / try
to instil in my subjects when they make
their appointments. They are:
"'Don't hurry; IT makes the face red; red
takes dark.
''Don't worry; think Of pleasant things.

negotiations are under way for the purchase
OF the remainder. Condemnation proceed
ings will be resorted TO in a few instances
where the title is cloudy or where owners
refuse to accept a reasonable price for their
holdings. Eventually a broad driveway is
throughout the entire length of the Pail
sades. Wherever practicable branch roads
will follow the old numbering paths TO con-
meet with the present highway along the
summit. Proper ferry connection with New
York city, Yonkers and other towns on the
East bank Of the Hudson will be agitated.
The driveway will follow the narrow strip
of beach at the base Of the precipice. con
Meeting at It's southern end with the Hudson
county boulevard and at its northern limit
with the shore road running from Piermont
to Nyack. Above Nyack 10 will make a
loop around Hook Mountain and follow
the shore line to Haverstraw and Stony
Point.
Aside from its main purpose Of rendering
accessible a great natural park the high
wsv will establish direct connection between
Nyaok and Rockland Lake and the i'm
portant industrial works OF Haverstraw,
while the extensive wilderness region in
the lower section will be thrown open for
colonization. .
Beyond the construction of the boulevard
and its branch roads the commission will not
alter the appearance Of the Palisades. The
cliffs will remain untouched and the trees
and underbrush will enjoy an un~hampered
growth. Active measures for their pro-
lection have beer in operation for some
time and the forest growth has not been
marred by fires or by cutting. A marshal
patrols the waterfront in q launch 70 see
that the privileges Of the park are not
abused. fhe strip OF beach along the base
Of the Palisades Is a favorite spot for
hampers.

good fortune to secure a couple of games with very strong base ball team from Jackson, Tennessee. They were enroute home from Hot Springs, where they had played three very creditable games, and NIT. Knight in- daced them to stop here yesterday
 The public is very good judge of a good attraction. and it was soon wise in this case, the consequence being that the largest audience that ever witnessed base ball game in Forrest City, gathered at the park yesterday. They were not disappointed. It was the fastest, snappiest game Of the sea- son by long odds and resulted in a score of l to in favor of the visitors. Had 1t not been for couple Of errors, one by Ravens, and one by Jolly, the game would have gone iuto the extras. We haven't time nor space to print a description, but the game was fast. snappy, full of interest every moment of its duration, and few if any league games are better, with the exceptions noted.
 Pat Folbre was certainly in fine form. and struck 'em out so rapidly that We couldn't keep the count. He made three out of the first four men up lay the willow down, and re- peated little later. Brady never let a ball pass him, and Pats support was fine. Warren made throw from If to home plate, and retired the side after chasing d grounder that was feature.

 The second game was also an exhi- bition of good ball playing. and the crowd was even larger than on the previous day Frank Gilliand, of Collleryille, Tenn, who is visiting relatives in the city, was on the firing line for the locals up to the ninth inning, and pitched a good game. Pat Folbre finished the game. and put the visitors down and out in l, ?, } order. The score was to in favor of Forrest City. Willie Havens' work with the willow was a feature, as he got hits.
 The third game was an exhibition of errors all round. The locals, if there was any difference, perhaps had fewer than the visitors, but both had too many to count. The game was s to 3 at the close of the 9th inning in favor of Forrest City. after which they went to pieces, and allowed the
