hit in Grand Forks. One paper says:
There was more fun than at a three
ring circus, and if the majority of the
audience quieted down for a moment,
someone who could not stop laughing
started the crowd off again. The en-
tertainment was the best thus far
given, the leading features being the
game, Of pedro and the cake walk. In
the pedro game, the subjects, without
cards, were made to believe that they
were playing and finally the game
broke up in a row, the players disput-
ing "a play and catching one another
cheating. In the cakewalk, four of
the men were attired in gay dresses
and made to believe that they were
colored girls, while four others were
persuaded that they were colored
men. They did the cakewalk in great
manner, and then, for several minutes,
there was the widest fun OF all, when
each man was induced to make love

much of the time. but he kept his wife
plentifully supplied with money. The
children had good clothes. good food
and plenty of il. The bows titled a
small garden and raised enough pota-
toes, squash, pumpkins and other veg
etables to supply the family Iarder. In
the winter months all of the children
went 70 school. The school building
was about 500 feet from their home and
the teacher boarded with the La
Monies.
The house occupied in those DAYS by

the attic, which was none too high. A
few years ago Mr.. Rockefeller and all
the members of his family made a trip
to owego and visited the old house.
The great capitalist led his children
up the creaking stairs and into the

nights and listened to the rain as il

against the rafters. and he laughed

his boyhood years. and rumor has it
that some day a great mansion will
stand in its place and be one of the
Rockefeller country houses.
There are scores of men and women
in and around Owego who went to
