SANDY SPRING, Md,, like a lot of small towns, has a wealth of tra- dition, but there is one that is out- standing—an outgrowth of the years. Once there was an old couple in Sandy Spring who were very much devoted. They decided, years ago, to take a trip to Washington City to meet some relatives, It required a long drive by horse and buggy to Rock- ville, where they put up at a hotel overnight, planning to continue to ‘Washington by train the next day. But next morning the wife, who was named Phoebe, and known to most Marylanders, was taken ill. Her hus- band, loath to leave her, rushed to the train just as it was pulling out: “Tell ’em,” he shouted to the conduc- tor, “Phoebe can’t come.” The conductor, to make sure he ‘would get the message over to the right party, and not knowing at what sta- tion the old couple intended to get off, stepped out on each platform whm;‘ the train stopped and shouted, “Phoebe can’t come.” This phrase sounded all the way to Washington, where the anxious hosts ‘were awaiting Phoebe’s arrival. “Phoebe can’t come,” the conductor said, at the final stop. An old lady waved her hand in reply and said, “All right, we'll see her later.” ‘Whenever any one in Sandy Spring wants to break an engagement the word is sent along, “Phoebe can't come.” ¢ * ok k¥ TREE IN HIDING. There is a tree right downtown on F street, though even the keen observer of Washington's shopping district would never know it. It is growing in the gutter of a haber- dashery on the north side of the street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, and cannot be seen from the street. Right now it has reached a height of 2 feet, and can best be seen from the windows of the Press Building across the street. * ok ok x CURB ENTERTAINERS. LTHOUGH the dancing bear and the barrel organ industries have been declining for some years past, the depression has served to encourage a few traveling entertainers to try their luck. A week or so ago we met our first one, a good-looking chap in his late 20s, dressed in hiking costume and playing a violin. He was on F street, opposite the old Department of Labor building, now inhabited by some arm of the vanishing N. R. A. Putting his soul into his efforts, he gave the lis- teners a few classical selections. Some of those standing on the sidewalk dropped a few small coins at his feet, those in the windows just looked and listened. Then he turned to some of the most sprightly hill-billy tunes with better financial results. Pennies, nickels and dimes were tossed from the the windows. After playing for about & half hour, he picked up his earnings, put his fiddle in the case, & knapsack on his shoulders and wan- dered off. Dark and long-haired, he ours to Yellow- stone Park, California, ., New York, and’ scores of interesting places Fous ‘will see more and spend Jess year.
