AN EDITORS KITCHEN sTOVEpIPE,
Trouble 1T Caused by Coming Un-
jOinted During n Cold SnaD.

The thermometer fell thirty-one de-
SreeS FRIDAY morning; also our kitchen
stovepipe, says the Grafton Record.
Tne stove had seventy-five cents worth
OF hard wood in it at the time and it
was burning faster than a man falls
out of balloon. The stovepipe did
not come down in one drawn out link
Of sweetness, but seven separate and
distinct species of the stovepipe fell
around that kitchen and emptied their
contents on the new mown floor. Then
the smoke began to roll out Of that
bobtail stove as if it was pulling a.
freight train on a seVen-mile grade
My wife. added to the misery of the
occasion by telling me that she knew
the stovepipe was coming down a week
ago; then [ asked her to go into the
other room and be seated while I put
the StoVeplpe up, so that breakfast,
which was on the half shell when the
stoVepipe dropped, could be completed
by her in her own fascinating manner
Then l went to work putting the stove
pipe up. In putting up the hot stove
pipe wore out a new pair Of mittens
that L had figured on using for the
next three winters, and then began
burning my hands; the pipe didn't go
together with the same ease that it
came apart, and L lost track Of my
GOODNESS for a minute and stepped up
on the hot stove to arrange the diff
Guilty, but L got right down again all
at once and struck an odd joint of pipe
and it fiattened out like pail of water
upside down. After working for half
an hour trying to fix this without do
ing it any good, my wife suggested
through the keyhole that breakfast
had been suspended, but if would get
a man who knew how to put up a
stovepipe dinner would be ready on
schedule time. She found this out in
her cook book, and I got the man, just
to please her. But we did have eggs
with a black background, fried pota-
toes in the hill and coffee settled with
noise for breakfast Shortly after the
man from the hardware store fixed the
pipe up before 1 could tell him where 1

HETTY GREEN'S SON
Making a Success in Texas and May
Run for Governor.


The one idol which Hetty Green, the
richest woman in America, worships
besides her gold is her son, Edward
Green. She believes that some day he
will be a great man in this country.
Edward has not been brought up IN
the lap of luxury by any means. 1t Is
said that when he was a boy in New
York, his rich mother used to allow
him the sum of fifty cents a day Tor MS
meals and pocket money.
Several years ago Mrs. Green sent
Edward to Texas to take charge of a
couple of little roads that she owned
there. The roads didn't amount to
much, and Edward was allowed to run
them to suit himself. The first thing
that he did was to consolidate them.
increase their general efficiency, and
put them on paying basis. This
pleased his mother nightly, but not
half so much as a little incident that
happened later. The law in Texas says
all railroads must be fenced in, and
II they are not all cattle that are killed
by trains must be paid for AS Ed
wards road was not fenced his trains
We're constantly killing cattle. which
always had to be paid for at an exorbi-
tant price. One day Edward saw a
chance to buy big herd at low
figure, and he invested. Now his road
owns big ranch, and when a farmer
brings in a bill for damages he is told
to go down to the ranch and pick out
an animal. Mrs Green thinks that
this showed true genius on her sons
part.
Edward has become quite a politi-
clan in Dallas. and at the last election
was offered the Republican nomina-
tion for governor. He decided that he
didn't want it then, but he has recent
ly come to the conclusion that his
chances next time will be better. If he
does make the race, he will have his
mothers big fat pocketbook at his dis
posal, for she is sure that he will win,
although few Texans will admit that
the Republicans are numerous enough
to elect a governor Of the Lone Star
state

Lewis L. Alsted, manager of the University
OF Wisconsin Boat club and football team
accompanied by j. r. Richards, last years
captain of the Madison football team, spent
Sunday at the West, in Minneapolis. The
main object of their visit was to complete ar
rangements with the Minnesota Boat club for
a race next Fourth of July at Minnetonka
However, when being called on by Manager
Putnam, Grant Van SAINT and Capt. Harri-
son, of the Minnesota 'fiarsity," football be-
came the topic of CONVERSATION, and an at
tempt was made to arrange the preIimnaries
Tor Minnesota and Wisconsin game next
autumn. However, nothing definite was de-
cided upon, as the season was too far in ad-
vance, although the sentiment was strong that
such a game would occur.
Madison contemplates a star season in the
athletic line during the coming spring and
summer.
On the 18th of June their boat crew pulls
against the Harvard freshman crew at New
Haven Conn. On the 18th of May the Uni

John ID. Rockefeller Eats MONDAY
Meal With His Carpenters.

A story told in Wall street, with John D.
Rockefeller as the hero, proves that the multi
millionaire has lost none of his democratic
spirit. While gang of carpenters was work
ing on his new stable near Tarrytown-o -on-the-
Hudson, he happened to go into the carriage
house to give some orders. He had not been
out long before his butler called him to
luncheon. Mr.. Rockefeller noticed that the
workmen were also beginning to prepare their
midday meal, and he turned to the butler and
said John, bring my luncheon out here.
III eat with the carpenters; and, by the way,
bring enough along for all of u.s." The butler
returned shortly with a big basketful of
dainties, and for short period the man of
millions and the workmen feasted together
and were made akin.

STRANGE PHENOMENA.
The Mysterious Light That II Man of
Science Saw.

New York Press.
An amusing little incident is related of Sir
Humphrey Davy by F. M. r. Skene, who
was acquainted in her youth with the famous
man of science. He was, it seems, in the
habit of wearing in the seclusion of his home
a comfortable, wide-howing dressing gown
and an old-fashioned peaked nightcap. One
evening, arrayed in this simple costume,
he was studying some profound work of
natural science in his chamber, the heavy
book resting upon a little table, over which
he bent eagerly to pore over its intricate
problems by the light of single candle.
Suddenly his attention was caught by a
curious phenomenon On the ceiling of his
room appeared bright circle of light which
did not look like the common circle of re-
fiection from lamp. He gaZed at it with
increasing interest. 1t was unsteady, but per-
sistent, and he was entirely unable to ac-
count for its presence.
He extinguished his light, but 1t still re-
mained, and he was fast becoming more and

West Cornwall, VT. March Fl, 1896.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
VIII you kindly publish the facts regard
ing the first election of Thomas Jefferson.
understand that the election was thrown
into the House. The credit Of deciding the
contest Is given to Col. Matthew Lyon OF
Fair Haven. Can you state, who were the
candidates before the House? Could you
give the position taken by our representa-
tives during the successive stages of tho
contest and how 1t was finally decided.
Please give the names of our congressman
at that time. F.. II. WARMER.
At the fourth presidential election, In
1861 Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr
were the candidates Of the republicans for
president and vice president; and John
Adams and c. C. Pnckney OF the federal
lists. Under the constitution. as 1t was
then. each presidential elector voted for
two persons without specifying the Office
for either; and the person having the high
est vote was declared president and the
one having the next highest vote became
vice-president. In that election Jefferson
and Burr each received 70 votes In the
electoral college. Adams received Go votes,
Pinckney ca and John Jay 1. Two mon
having thus received an equal number OF
votes. the same being a majority OF the
votes cast, the choice OF president de-
volved upon the House OF Representatives
In that body n violent contest followed,
which lasted for seven days, during which
SO ballots were taken, tho House remain
Ing In continuous session, without nominal
adjournment. Some of the congressman
were so inhrm or indisposed that beds
were provided for them in the Hall Of
Representatives, and one member, who
was quito Ill. was attended on the floor
by his wife. The Vermont representa-
tives In that Congress were Matthew Lyon
and Lewis r. Morris. The Vermont cleo
tors had cast tho vote OF Vermont for Mr.
Adams; but the Vermont congress
mon were opposed In politics
Lyon being q republican and Morris
federalist. The vote being by States
and Vermont being equally divided. the
vote of Vermont was not counted through
35 ballots. On the seth ballot Mr.. Morris
withheld his vote, and Lyon cast the vote
of Vermont for jefferson, which was suf.
flcient to elect him. He would have been
elected, however IL Vermont's vote had
not been counted as Maryland, which haG
been equally divided up to that ballot. cas-,
her vote for Mr.. Jefferson. Lyon, on one
occasion, in a controversy with Mr.. Jeffer.
son. said: IT made him and can unmaks
him." but the claim was not justified, for
the Withholding OF Mr.. Morris's vote had
as much 10 do with the election OF Jeffer.
son as Lyons vote. The action of Mr.
Morris and the Maryland federalists ir
Withholding their votes, was taken on the
advice of Alexander Hamilton, as he pre-
ferred Jefferson to Burr as choice OF
evils. The enmty Of Burr and Hamilton
thereupon became deadly and ended In
Hamilton's death by the hand OF Burr.
