There are many of the Older citizens
of Newhury who will recollect the
Brady family They used to live
some 40 or so years ago in the cottage
now owned by Mr. and Mrs John Per-

Mrs Patrick Brady and their five
children, Frank, Charles, Susie, Sarah
and John. Patrick Brady worked for
many years on the section, his con-
tempo"aries being Charles Bartlett,
william Lother,~Orange Fowler and
H A Avery. 1t was in the days when
Nate Hubbard and George Newland
were Station agents and the old wood
burners were all named after the Off

ANNA

IT H0UGH coming originally from
the same source, Anna and Anne
are very different names. To call a
girl bearing the pretty appellative de-
rived from the Hebrew Chaanach
Anna or Anne indiscriminateIy is a
gross error. They are separate names
and should not be used INTERCHANGEABLE.
Anna was first known as the Roman
goddess OF the circling year. She was
confused later with Anne, the COM
pani0n sister OF Dido, whose tragic
end is recorded by Virgil in the
1'Aeneid." According co Roman tradi-
riOn, Anne pursued the faithless
Aeneas to Italy, after the suicide of
Dido, and there drowned herself in
the river Sumicius. where she became
q presiding deity
The Irish have a similar legend to
account fer their Anna; the daughter
of the chief OF the FirboIs race
drowned herself In the river Life, and
since the Irish word for river is Am
hahn, the two words became, on Eng
lish tongues, Anna Liffey, and were
supposed co form the unfortunate
lady's name.
There was also st. Anna in By
Zantium for whom the Emperor Jus
f1niaa built a church In $50. Thus
Anna became popular name among
Greek damsels. and a daughter of EN-
peror Basil married Vladimir, grand
prince OF Muscovy. Another famous
bearer OF the name was Anna TEste
OF Italy, who brought her title to the
House OF Guise.
Like Anne, the talismanic gem of
Anna Is the pearl. 1t promises her
good fortune, many friends. and ex-
IRENE affability. Wednesday is her
lucky day and 5 her lucky number.

HASSINCER is NOT
A MODERN CROESUS
Because of Charitableness
Peope Have Believed Him
To Be Rich Man

There is n story going the rounds
that John IL. Hass;nger, Republican
candidate for Congress. is modern
croesus who fairly wallows in coin
of the realm. This idea, it would
seem, is the result OF generous
benevolent streak which is part of
the man.
Because Of his charitableness, .
writes friend of his who is not n
resident Of the Ninth District, "pco-
pie have supposed fIassinger to he
a very rich man. This is far from
the truth. The explanation of the
rumor grows out OF the fact that
people cannot understand why n
man in moderate circumstances will
give away so much. He believes
that whatever he possesses, after
caring for his family, should be used
for the common welfare"
This same friend declares that
flassinger is not a politician. but a
business man and practical idealist.
He also gives some light on the re-
narkable brevity Of lIassinger's
public speeches. ''IIe believes that
an ounce OF performance is worth. a
ton OF talk" is the explanation. In
his keynote speech at Wise nassing-
er made the assertion that, ii elect
ed, he would vote his convictio,is.
