An Early Settlement in Western New York

An Early Settleme nt in Western New York.
In March, 1910, Enos Stone, of Lenox,
Mass, having inherited from his father
$50 acres of land on the east side of the
Genesee river, settled on his property, hav-
ing brought his wife the entire distance,
the most of it wilderness, on an OK sled.
Two months later a son was born to him
in cabin he had erected on a previous
visit to his possessions. The child was the
first white child born in what is now Mon
roe county. He was named James Stod-
dard. He became one of the builders up
OF the city of Rochester, and died at Char
lotte, in his eighty-second year. The
cabin in which he was born was made of
planks hewed with an ak by his father,
and it was the first house ever built in
what is now Rochester
The year James Stoddard Stone was
born his father raised the first wheat crop
in Monroe county. and sledded it to Bata-
via on the same sled that had carried his
wife from Lenox. 1t was ground at Bata-
via and made ten barrels of -four. As he
could not dispose of it for cash at home he
put it on the old sled and took it all the
way to l.enox and sold it. That was the
first shipment of -four from that region
which is now famous for that commodity.
James Stoddard Stone lived in the house
where he died for nearly sixty years

'"The puritan Fathers were greatly
addicted to smoking; indeed, the prac-
tice became so common that even the
strait-laced observers of times and sea-
sons actually smoked in church. This
custom soon caused very considerable
annoyance, as the religious were great
y disturbed by the clinking of fiints
and steels to light their pipes and the
clouds of fsmoke in church. Hence in
the year 1869, the Colony passed this
law: 1T is enacted that any person or
persons that shall be found smoking of
tobacco on the Lords day, going to or
coming from the meetings, within two
miles Of westinghouse, shall pay
twelvepence for ever such default
Under this law, several persons were
actually fined; but the punishment
failed to secure the carrying out of the
arbitrary second portion of the enact
ment.
fThe custom of smoking during
church service was not confined to the
laity and minor clergy. for it is record
ed that an archbishop Of York was
once reproved by the vicar of st.
Mary's, Nottingham, for attempting to
smoke in the church. vestry. .n--AN

"oLEo" FED TO STATESMEN.
Served as Dairy Butter in the Hotels al

Served as Dairy Butter in the Hotels at
the Cap4tal-How the Law is Violated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Rural readers
of these dispatches will be interested in
learning that the internal revenue au-
thorities here have discovered that but
terine, or oleomargarine, is sold in the
leading market stalls of Washington as
pure dairy butter, and that it is served
as such at the principal hotels, and there
appears to be no law to punish the
Otfense.
The oleomargarine is sold from the
original casks, tubs and frkins, which
are properly branded as required by law
but the friins, casks or tubs are never
seen except by the dealers; so oleomar-
garine is taken from the original pack
ages and displayed on the counters with
pure butter, and where no mention is
made of oleomargarine by the, pur-,
chaser none is made blythe dealer, and.
thus no misrepresentation is made, al
though the purchaser believes he buys
pure butter, when he gets oleomargarine
four times out of five. Congress will be
asked to amend the law so as to require
dealers to brand every piece of oleo-
margarine, in the roll or bulk, as it goes
into the hands Of, the purchaser, SO as to
plainly show what it is, and nc place
will be left for fraud.
The present law is broad enough if
enforced rigidly, 1t directs that all
oleomargarine, when sold, whether in
frkins or rolls, must be stamped as
such, the penalty for disregarding this
act being fine of $100, one-half of the
amount to go to the inforiner. The
greatest harm done the legitimate deal
er by the sale of oleomargarine is
through the small grocery stores, which
sell the stuff to their customers as
butter. 1t is believed the oleomargarine
law is everywhere disregarded by the
retailors to large extent.

When the Rome Hrorsa.

The tug-of-war craze seems to have come
to stay. Whenever a crowd assemblies and
rope can be begged, borrowed or stolen
there is an international tug.
The other morning the back yard fence
of an up town boarding house could have
been seen bending undera mass of bowling
humanity. Any stranger would have
thought fire or homicide was in prog
ress inside the fence, but it was only three
little shrimps in short pants and two little
girls in sunbonnets having an impromptu
tug-of-war on Il clothesline. Excited sis.
ters, cousins and aunts, regardless of lack
of powder, paint and bangs, rushed out of
the boarding house and took sides, till the
himsy line gave way, and what fall wins
there, my countrymen!
Several of the more exctable spectators
dropped of the top of the fence like dead
flies from a ceiling when that line gave
way, and sixteen maidens on one side
threw sensational fipfaps, while half
score of athletic matroHs on the other side
knocked splinters out of the fence with
their hairpjns. San Francisco Chronicle

of the states of the northwest.
The increase in value of sheep, though
not locally equal, is very general
throughout the country. The larger
rates of increase are found in the ranch
