MERRITT BUSHES TO THE TELEPHONE.
There is no more genial and esteem
ed citizen in New Milford than Merritt
Hill, and he numbers his earnest
friends by the score, but even the
spirit of mild hammered man can be
"riled," and our friend was in this con-
dition the other day. 1t was Friday
afternoon and Merritt was busy at his
engraving desk. In rushed Fred Lake,
all out of breath, and shouted: "You
are wanted at the telephonev' Drop
ping his tools. Merritt rushed out hat
less and entered Druggist Mobiles
store. |'Hello, what is wanted?" said
Mr. Hill. "Who is this talking" said
the imperturbable Jack Morehouse
over the wire; II want Hill, "Alcohol
HILL" just what Merritt said in re-
ply is not known, but it appears Mr.
Morehouse had read the story in The
BEE of Merritt mailing to the floor the
alcohol bottle, and in his breezy and
independent fashion had suggested a
new name for his friend whom he loves
fondly and well. The last seen of Mr.
Hill he was making line for the store
of Mr. Beach, but when he arrived
there out of breath and red in the face
Mr. Morehouse was not in sight.

Where Marion Crawford Writes.


II Marion Crawford finds his ideal
home in a breeze-swept villa, perched
high on the picturesque cliffs OF SAINT
Angelic di Sorrento, overlooking the
beautiful Bay OF Naples and its ro-
mantle shores. There is, indeed, no
finer site to be found anywhere about
this far-famed bay than that occupied
bv the villa Crawford" with its
cheerful landward outlook over scat
tered towns. Olive-clad hills, and fra
grant orange groves dotted with white
walled dwellings. to where Vesuyius
rears his mighty cone and Naples
queens it among her subject villages,
far out across the shining bay to the
enchanting island OF Ischia, set like q
lustrOus jewel in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The house itself is an unpretentious
building of stucco and rough stone. 1t
is reached by following country road,
overhung by olive, lemon and orange
trees, for about mile from Sorrento,
then turning through gray stone gate
way, EMPOWERED in ivy, and going
along a narrow driveway almost TO the
verge Of the cliff, where the villa
stands, some two hundred feet above
the hay.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Historical Corrections.

John GoOde, the only Virginian living
who was a member of the Confederate
Congress, was one of the speakers al
the annual meeting Of Lee camp, held
at Richmond, Va.
Mr.. Goode took occasion to correct
what he conceives to be two errors in
recent contributions to the history of
the Civil War. He stated that he had
it from the lips Of the Confederate com.
mlssioners who went to Hampton roads
to confer with President Lincoln that
the only thing Lincoln would agree to
was, that the Confederates should 90
home and take off their uniforms" He
denied, in emphatic terms, that Lincoln
had offered to pay for the liberia ton OF
the slaves.
Mr.. Goode also said he wanted to cor.
rect an error in recent contribution
to war history by Charles Francis Ad.
ans, In which he makes It appear that
General Lee favored surrendering his
army before it reached Appomattox,
and that President Davis was respon.
slble for Lees plans not being carried
out. Mr.. Goode said he was sent for
by President Davis and General Lee
for conference. General Lee told Of
the condition of his army, and asked II
the Virginia people would stand an
other draft upon them for forage and
provisions. Mr.. GoOde conferred with
his associates, and the result was. he
