Monsieur Gregoire, had been educated |
by his family for the priesthood, but
had fallen in love at the time he was

determined to come to his great estate
in the New World. When he arrived

mountainous land worth nothing, and
he had to so to work to keep himself
alive. In doing this he drifted to
Chilicothe and his daughter was taken
into the Thurman family. She did

Allen G. Thurman is now seventy
two years old, and he said at Chicago
that he had never felt better in his lille
and that his stomach was as strong rs
that Of an ostrich. He is, you know,
the nephew of old Fog-Horn Allen,
and during his later years he and his
uncle quarreled on account of their ,
Presidential ambitions. Mr.. Thur
man has been Presidential quantity
for ten years past, and at the Chicago
his friends wore as their
colors red bandana handkerchief /
about their hats, and made the Palmer
House bedlam with their cheers for
Old Snuff, as they lovingly called him.
1t was from this French teacher, above
spoken CT, that Senator Thurman
learned to take snuff, and he has kept
the practice up all his life. He always
uses a red silk handkerchief TO blow
his nose ON or as Al polisher, and from
this he gets his title, "The Knight of
the Red Bandana"
