ANOTHER LEAF FROM Mr.. WEEDS AUTO
BIoGRAPHY.-While working for Colonel
William l.. Stone, In the office Of the Her
kimer american in the winter Of 1918, be-
came acquainted with bright, intelligent
German boy, whose name, after lapse Of
af,y-seven years, is q universal household
word, and whose face is familiar to every
man, woman, and child In our country. He
was the son of German clergyman, who
preached in that language to German con-
gregations, and residing couple Of miles
outside the village. The boy, then about
twelve years old attending an English school
In the village, was very fond Of newspaper
reading, and came every day to the printing
office to read and TO borrow, for night read
ing at home, our exchange papers. l was
more particularly interested in him, perhaps,
from the circumstance that In the mornings
he brought notes from, and In the evenings
carried responses to young lady visiting a
married sister who resided near his fathers
house, and who, six years afterward, be-
came my wife. That German boy subse-
quently represented the Herkimer district In
Congress, and is now the Treasurer Of the
United states-Fraucis f. Spinner.
