Of the party of colonists which left
Plymouth, Eng. on the Mary and John
March 30, 1880. great care was taken to
select men of sound mind and body.
Two members Of the English govern
ment were chosen; also young and ac-
tive men like Israel Stoughton and
others. Several people well advanced
in years were included in the party. So
lected for their integrity and. wisdom.
Among this last number Barnard Capep
figured conspicuously. Being sixty
eight years of age upon his arrival. he
was unable to endure the severe hard
ships of a w-found country. and died
November 8, 1888. He was the first OF
the colonists to be placed In the old
burying ground now preserved at Up
hams corner. Not many years ago the
stone which marked his grave was
found deeply buried in the earth. A
new headstone was erected, on which
the old inscription was carefully chis-
eled. The old stone. greatly defaced,
is now in the possession of the Histori-
cal Society. Many people believe Bar

TWO VICTIMS OF WRECK.

Proposal to Tear Down Capen House
in Dorchester.

In dorchester.
From the Boston Transcript.
Unless active measures are soon
taken to save the Barnard Capen house
in Dorchester it will be razed. Already
plans have been made to sacrifice this
ancient landmark before February ID
in order to make way for an apartment
house. This old mansion, which stands
near Washington street, opposite Mel
Vile avenue, was erected some time be-
tween 1880 and 1858. 1t was one Of the
first houses built in the town after the
arrival of the colonists who emiSrated
from England under the guidance of
Rev John White, so often called
father of the colony"
This house is the second oldest in
New England With the exception Of
one wear it has always remained in the
possession Of the family. The west end
of the house was built first. One side
of the original building shows an ar
rangement whereby the inmates could
better protect themselves from the willy
the Massachusetts. whose hoStilities the
wise and judicious chief Chickatdbot,
often found it impossible to control
Several arrows, sent into this early
New England home. have been found
as reminder of those troublesome
days. Inside the living rooms the cell
ings are very low, the highest measur-
ing not more than seven feet. The
beams, projecting below the plaster,
were all hand hewn. as were also the
clapboards and lumber for the floors
Originally the house contained but two
rooms, the larger having an immense
fireplace, which carried the major por-
tion of heat up the chimney. The east
end of the house was erected one
hundred years after the main building,
and contains what was then called
many modern improvements" These
somewhat altered the primitive aspect
of the building, concealing the hugo
brick chimney. which in those days was
considered decided ornament.
Through all these years the estate has
been kept in excellent repair

ART OF CONVERSATION.
Value of Saying the Right Thing
at the Right Time.

From the Milw aukee Sentinel.
One CT the New Years resolutions OF
a we'll meaning man was that he would
always and invariably speak the truth,
no matter what might be the circum-
stances in which he was placed.
He soon met a friend who had just
bought a garment of which he was quite
proud. He wanted the truthful man to
praise it, but the truthful man did not
like it. said SO. and lost friend. Next
he met a female friend who was gush-
ing over a young niece of hers. and she
asked him for his opinion He tried to
dodge, but in vain. Forced to speak,
he told the truth; and the aunt went
off in high dudgeon. He persevered. but
he lost friends faster than it would be
possible for him to make them.
The experience Of this man has raised
the question as to whether it is pos
sible always to speak the truth. Or we
may put it in the old form. Is a lie
a lie is "a false statement made with
the intention of deceiving." In the case
just cited and in all similar cases 1t is not
necessary to make "a false statement.
to deceive. In all such temptations which
vain or thoughtless people put in our
way a little tact and diplomacy will
avoid the pitfall and no damage can ensue
either to ones feelings or conscience.
Conversation is an art. To say the
right thing at the right time and in the
right way Is a genuine achievement.
Many people are thoughtless. The first
thing that comes into their heads is the
thing that gets out first.
And often it is not the thing that is
said. but the way in which it is said that
hurts and disappoints and estranges
a little more thoughtfulness and little
more tact would solve this problem and
make their daily conversation an art
and delight.
