SHIFTING RESPONSIBILITY 
A town character who had been in 
trouble with the police many times 
was arrested recently on a minor 
criminal charge. The arresting officer 
was atrazed when the fellow appear- 
ing in police court with a lawyer, pre- 
pared to make a defense. Finally his 
case was called and the judge asked: 
“Prisoner, are you guilty or not 
guilty ?” 
“Let my lawyer plead not guilty 
for me, judge,” was the reply. “I 
ain’t got the nerve.” —Kansas City 
Star. 
“De man dat tries to please every- 
body,” said Uncle Eben, “ain’t gine 
to get along nigh so well as the man 
who sqares up to de world an’ gits 
everybody trying to please him.” 
NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
COTTAGES BURN AT 
LONG BEACH 
DAMAGE OF $25,000 RESULTED WHEN 
Nine Corraces BuRN—COo?TTacE 
OF JOHN SULLIVAN OF Rock- 
PORT AMONG NUMBER 
Nine of the most attractive sum- 
mer cottages at Long Beach were des- 
troyed by fire Tuesday night with a 
loss of about $25,000. Lack of a pro- 
per water supply made fighting the 
blaze impossible, a bucket brigade be- 
ing the ineffective means of quenching 
the fire. 
Special Officer Geo. Tuck first no- 
ticed the fire and notified the Glouces- 
ter fire department, but because of the 
lack of water their apparatus was use- 
less. Although the Rockport depart- 
ment was called on for assistance the 
blaze had been ,extinguished when 
the local apparatus arrived. 
The cottage of John Sullivan of this 
town was among the number burned. 
Another belonging to Geo. Jeffrey of 
Gloucester was the first to take fire. 
These and two other cottages owned 
by Mrs. Lottie Haskins and another, 
the property of Frank Stores of Som- 
erville were destroyed in quick succes- 
sion before the bucket brigade got into 
action. 
About forty persons attempted to

fight the blaze with sand but the fire 
spread along the board walk and des- 
troyed the cottages of Mrs. Geo. Steele 
of Gloucester, Chas. Webber of Ar- 
lington and Wm. Darcy of Gloucester. 
Hundreds of Persons were attracted 
to the fire by the brilliant illumination 
for miles around, and soon there was 
a bucket brigade of about a hundred 
men and boys. 
The fire emphasized more than ever 
the need of a proper water supply at 
Long Beach. 
REAL HOWLER 
A good story is being told of a gen- 
tleman not unknown in South African 
musical circles. He is rather proud 
of his vocal abilities. Recently he at- 
tempted in public to render “The 
Owl.” 
A friend afterwards remarked that 
the music was not suitable to his com- 
pass, and that he should get it in the 
key of C. 
Our friend immediately marched off 
to a music shop and announced : 
“T want ‘The Owl’ in C.” 
“Very sorry,” replied the shopman; 
“we have not got “The Howling Sea,’ 
but we can do you ‘Rocked in the 
Cradle of the Deep.’ ”
