Cn e e — T AR TR, — T PRAISE YOUR HOME TOWN |DIDN'T GET CHIEF'S MEANING Unwise Policy to Let Visitor Go Away With Impression That Citizens Are Dissatisfied. A well-known Washington writer, who has been traveling around the | country, announces as an original dis- covery that if you want to be taken into the confidence of a city and giv- en a private view of its closeted skele- tons all you have to do is to praise it, and the citlzen ybu happen to be talk- ing to will at once point out its un- pleasant features. Criticize the city, on the other hand, and every one will at once rise gallantly to its defense. He illustrates his point by the case of Detroit. One reason, he says, why Detroit attracts so much teurist trav- el is that it ndvertises itself so pleas- ingly, and it really has a charm whicli Is appreciated by none quite so much The only way you can get anything but- enthusiastic eulogy | of the place, he says, is by yourself | pretending a violent infatuation for it. The writer In question has -discov- ered nothing new and it is not impos- sible that he might find Indianapolis also an illustration of his theory, for its citizens are sometimes given to “knocking” when they talk about this city to visitors. They will mention some of its good features. hut will ofl- set them by calling attentlon to the The visitor may notice these lacks by himself if ieft alone, but he may not, and 1t is poor judgment to bring them to his notice. & The old saying that the best foot should always be put forward is as | applicable to a city as to an individ- ual. The mother of a defective child | endeavors te draw .attention to his | merits and away from his defects, and tlwe policy is good as to a town. If sons as much interested as yourself in seeing improvement made. Let the Sailor Misunderstood, but After All, Kangaroo Is as Good a Name as Any Other. The ‘Kahgaroo received its name through the failure of white men to understand the language of the Aus- tralian bushmen. Captain Cook, dis- coverer of Australla, gazing shoreward one day, saw a group of natives about ‘vhat scemed to be a most peculiar animal. THe sent a group of men ashere to get it, and was still more amazed when told -of its shape, its -habit of carrying its young in a pouch and its remarkable Teaping ability. He wanted the natives’ name for the spec- tmen that he intended to take back to England. | “What's the name of that beastie?” demanded an .English tar ¢f.the na- ' tives' chief. “Kan ga roo,” returned the native. “Kangaroo, eh?” repeated the sailor- man, and, satisfied, returned to his captain. The fact s, however, that the words spoken hy the chief are mereiy a phrase meaning “I, or we, don’t know.” t|doW itself is the thing beautiful and Windows of L Every tall and challenge of life has its appropriate window.

T | Cortlandt Bleeker said at a New York roof-garden supper: “Apropos of New York as a summer resort, I heard a story the other day. “A westerher blew in here ard ap- plied for a room In a hotel.
