i A PAGE OF REAL NEWS MANHATTAN oo “BE SURE OF YOUR FACT! On the “What Did You See To-Day?” page of Aug. 3, J. B. Doyle of No. 1092 Park Avenue does an injustice to this society when, by inference, he accuses the society of neglect in maintaining the Marie Guise Newcomb Memorial Fountain on Cooper Square. Mr. Doyle evidently is not aware of the fact that ‘the law prohibits the use of the common drinking trough, the authorities taking the ground that it spreads disease. The city ordinance which prohibits the use of running water in the bowls of public fountains also provides that drivers shall carry water-pails. The soclety, at a cost of many thou- sands of dollars, equipped the drinking fountains which it had erected and maintained at great expense with self-closing faucets, in order that drivers might draw water into their pails; and the Newcomb fountain is provided with such a faucet and it has been in continuous operation. It might be of interest to add that the only permanent drinking fountains for animals in operation in tne City of New York to-day are those erected and maintained by the society. There are eighty of these fountains and In addition the society employs twenty- five men to water horses at fire hydrants during the summer months and has tufee watering carts carrying water to horses waiting to deliver their loads at steamship piers.—W.

While I was sitting in my window to-day my attention was drawn to the actions of half a dozen small boys who came rushing into this quiet residential street as though the whole Police Department were behind them. One boy ran quickly to the water hydrant, gave it an imaginary twist, others laid imaginary hose, and all shouted orders at the top of their lungs. After aJl the preliminary arrangements were made they all rushed to my Aouse and soaked the place with water—imaginary of course. They rescued women and children and one by one were overcome by smoke. Through it all they kept up a constant 8-8-h! s-8-h/ 8-8-h! in imitation of the sound of water. In about five minutes thelr brave efforts were rewarded, The “fire” was out. They rolled up their hose, left the street and have not been seen since.—Mrs, Frank Chadwick, No. 1042 Clay Avenue, Bronx. MYSTERIES OF THE MAIL BOX. Approaching the mail box at the cor- ner of 166th Street and Jackson Avenue T noticed an elderly man with a letter OUT OF TOWN DID HE HAVE ANY APPLES! My eleven-year-old son'came to the kitchen door just now with a peck basket of apples he had gathered beneath a neighbor's apple tree. “Well,” I said, hearing the voice of his playmate, “I think you should divide with your chum.” Just then the other bay stepped up to the screen door. “Thank YOU,"\he said, “but I guess I must have about a basketful.” And he did; indeed he did. He held one in either hand, his blouse was swollen almost to the bursting point, his pockets bulged, and even the legs of his knickerbockers were bumpy. The boy could hardly walk. He grinned, turned, and walked slowly—very slowly—toward home.—Mrs. Elsie H. Dennis, No. 104 Hudson Avenue, Red Bank, N. J. A SINCERELY APPREQIATIVE AU- DIENCE, Last night | saw a country movip show.

AVOIDING A SUMMONS, Going up Grand Concourse was a brand new sedan at the wheel of which sat a nervous old gentleman waving one hand, in which he held a gayly colored toy horn which he blew at every street intersection. His automobile horn had been broken and he had bought the toy one to avoid a summons. He was on his way to have a real one repaired.— M. 8. V., Bronx.

While standing at 180th Street and Southern Boulevard I was approached by a stout woman who wanted to know which was the nearer, subway or ele- vated. I told her the “L’ was just about twice as far from us as the sab way. Thanking me, she proceeded tc walk westerly, toward the “L.” I couldn't let that happen and, rifnning after her, explained once more that the subway was nearer. She laughed. "I understood you perfectly,” she sald, “and I am greatly obliged to you, but I want the longer walk.”—Milton N. Rubenstein, No. 2062 Crotona Avenue, Bronx.
