HAVE NO CHANCE FOR GOSSIP.
One Argument In Defense Of Reserve
of City Life.

There Is much to be said of the
custom prevailing in large cities, the
Indifference with which families re-
gard each other. They may live with
only a thin wall as separation, and
never know their neighbors by sight.
II is heartless, In way, to have no
knowledge Of misfortune which one
might relieve, but It is rather agree
able to be able to live as one pleases
with the certainty that prylng eyes
are not taking stock of economies and
habits. 1t is almost impossible to be-
gin system Of retrenchment in a
town or neighborhood where there are
keen eyes to inspect every movement
and sharp tongues to discuss each dis.
covery. So we have families always
living beyond their means because
they have not the moral courage to adj
vertise their true financial condition
II is not wise to take the public into
ones confidence. When II becomes
necessary to give up home 1t lessons
the chances Of recovering from pc
cuniary losses to allow the neighbor-
hood to discuss the matter with certain
knowledge. A graceful retreat can
generally be managed save In gossip
ing places, and even there silence is
much better than confession.

FAMILY CAT SAVED HOUSE
Gave Alarm That Told Manchester
Man His Residence was Afirs.-

Manchester, VT, August 25.-John
]. Squires, who lives on the east road
about two miles south of Manchester
Depot, will always look upon ~ cats
with feeling akin to reverence, for
If it had pot been for a cat his house
would without doubt now be a mass
'of ruins.
Late Sunday night Forrest, his son,
was awakened by the lusty yowlings
of the family tabby and upon investi-
cation it was found that fire was rap
idly consuming one wing of the house.
After some delay an alarm was spread
by blowing the whistle at the power
station.
The engine company in this vii.
lage and Pacific Engine Company Of
Manchester Center promptly re-
sponded. By good work the main
part of the house was saved.
The loss is estimated at about
$500, which is covered by insurance.
The cat which gave the alarm was
liberated from the burning part of
the house uninjured.

SIMPLY A DEMAND FOR PROOF.
Philadelphia Journals Summing UP Of
Betsy Ross Incident.

The Betsy Ross legend is quite
harmless. Anybody may believe It
who will. II is like the story Of
Washington and the cherry tree. No
body can prove that the youthful
Washington did not chop a cherry
tree. Very probably he did, and quite
as probably he did not lie about It,
But If II were proposed to erect a
public monument to mark the spot
where the cherry tree stood, we should
ask for some more certain evidence OF
the accuracy Of the story than Par
son Weems' long subsequent nara
tive. That is all that the historians
appear TO be asking about the Betsy
Ross legend. They are not attack
ing the memory of that estimable
woman, nor the veracity of her de-
scendants. Family tradition is to be
respected. But family tradition that
is not supported by contemporary rec
ords or other historical evidence is an
insufficient basis for an official In
dorseme2t that is supposed to be au-
thoritativs and conclusive. Nobody
wishes to spoil good story, but
those who are satisfied with family
traditions ought not to ask anything
more.-Philadelphia Ledger

ONLY NEEDED THE COLD BATH
Sense Of New York Policeman Headed
OF Mad Dog Scare.

of Seaside park, but the dog itself
from anything worse than an uncom-

Smith Of Quincy street, Brooklyn, and
when 1t began to act queerly on the
beach scare seemed imminent.
Harmon saw the dog and got to II

was his diagnosis when Mrs. Smith
begged to be told the trouble with her
pet.
In the station Harmon carried the
dog into Capt. Kelley's room, and

water In the captains bathtub. When
the tub was full they dropped the dog
into 1t. In few minutes II regained
its senses, and In Is minutes 1t was
all right again.-N. Y. Times.
