When they returned to America the
first troubles in the family occurred.
There was probably no outright quar-
rel but husband and wife did not
agree as to their mode of life.
BY this time Mrs. Green had de-
veloped her ambition to make her son
the richest man in America, and to
that end she did not see why she should
maid servant and save some money.
Her husband on the contrary had
ideas about large house, with many
servants and paintings and statues
and tapestries and all those sort of
things, which are all right to deal in
but perfectly unproductive of profit
otherwise and from that the breach
between them grew and widened.
When Mr.. Green got into difficulties
in Wall street Mrs. Green coldly looked
over his affairs and could not see any
reason to risk any of her own millions
to save his lone million, So Wall street
got it.
Then ended the life of Edward Green
as Wall street operator, and began
the life of sold Green" of the Union
League Club. He kept out of specula
tion and she allowed him enough to
live nicely at the Cumberland Hotel,
and keep up his club membership.
There had been another child born
to them-Sylvia Ann Rowland Green
who had three millions of her own,
left her by an aunt and who has been
the inseparable companion of her
mother
Though they lived apart, Mr.. Green
and his wife and children apparently
remained friends. Whenever the old
gentleman fell ill, which was often
toward the end. Mrs. Green and Sylvia
Ann always came to attend him.
When at last Edward Green became
very ill, he went to his ancestral home
at Bellows Falls, and there he remained
until the end.

CARMACK SPEAKS.
Tells His Views on the Presidential
Protection Bill.

Washington. Mar. 81. Consideration
was resumed yesterday of the bill fol-
the protection of the President of thu
United States.
Mr.. Carmack Tenn. in his speech
said his objections to the bill did not
apply to the question of its constitu-
tionality.
But he said, sit is bad in
principle and utterly anc absolutely
unnecessary. No more futile, no more
unnecessary law ever encountered the
statute books of this country.
He declared that such an act would
not have prevented the assassination
of any President and he was certain
the measure never would accomplish
any one of the results hoped for in its
enactment. He was willing to go
almost any extent to safeguard the
President or to stamp out anarchy,
but he did not believe it just for Con-
gress to legislate on the assumption
that several States were either unwill-
ing or incompetent to protect the
President or any other official who
might be within their borders.
He declared that President Roosevelt
would not endure a military guard
for moment.
ITO escape such a guard when he
wanted to go out for quiet stroll, -
said he, ''the President would climb
out back window, get out OF the
grounds by back gate and go up
back alley. " Laughter.

A Chinaman's Ace.

How old is Chinaman? Can you
give a good guess? 1t is harder to tell
than the age of negro. The China
man has no beard and his hair is of
a jet and glossy blackEess which
turns gray only at an extreme old
age, when a Caucasian head would
be either snow white or bald. Then,
again, the Chinese have the most
perfect nervous systems Of any people
in the world, and do not wrinkle
up with age. So, you have little to
go by. "A Chinaman will look 30
when he is 90 and when he is so.
you ask him his age, he will place
it at least ten years ahead, for he
holds old age to be honorable, and
among his people he will be respected
and looked up to by all his juniors

Saturday,
PROVES TO BE A FUGITIVE FROM
Obion County-Under Indictment For
Murder in the First Degree For
Killing Thomas Lutes.

Jim Childrey, a white man abou
thirty years of age. caused commo
ton on East Seventh street Saturda !
/ evening by recklessly displaying q
pistol and threatening to shoot any body
who came his way The police were
notified. and officer Austin Cabler
went down and disarmed him and
brought him to the court house.
After being taken into custody. a
person who was acquainted with the
facts said that Childrey was wanted in
Obion county on the charge of murder
Thereupon, the police communicated
with Sheriff John Finch of that
county, who said that Childrey was
under indictment for murder in the
first degree, and that he would come
to Columbia at once and get him.
Sheriff Finch arrived Monday morn
ing, and returned with his prisoner that
evening. In conversation with Her
aid reporter. Mr.. Finch stated that
Childrey killed a young white man
by the name of Thomas Lutes in
April. 1901. Childrey lived with his
brother, George, and his father on
their farm at Poplar Ridges, near
Obion Station, and Lutes lived in
the same neighborhood. At log roll
ing, at which the Childrey brothers
and Lutes were present, the young
men had a gallon of whiskey in jug.
After the liquor had been made away
with, Lutes picked up missile ana
threw at the jug with the intention
of breaking it. He missed the Jug.
however, and struck dog belonging
to Geo. Childrey. This enraged Jim,
who picked up stick and struck
Lutes across the head, crushing his
skull and killing him.
Childrey escaped, and was heard of
several times in Arkansas, but the
officers could never catch up with him.
He came to Columbia several months
ago, and was arrested on the charge of
carrying pistol and being drunk and
disorderly. He has been staying in
the county since then, having relatives
who live several miles from here on
the N, G. & St. l.. road.
Childrey was indicted last September |
FOR murder in the first degree. Sheriff !,

AND
CHILD

Does your horse feel his
oats? What a difference be-
tween the granted and the
CRASHED horse! The first
strong and full of ginger, the
second flabby, weak and tired
out before he begins. The
feeding makes the difference.
Children are not alike either.
One is rosy, bright-eyed, full
of life and laughter, another is
pale, weak and dull. The feed
ing again is responsible.
Sickly children need special
feeding. They don't feel their
oats. SCOTS Emulsion adds
just the right richness to their
diet. 1t is like grain to the
horse. The child gets new
appetite and strong digestion.
SCOTS Emulsion is more
than food. 1t is a strong
medicine. 1t rouses up dull
children, puts new flesh on thin
ones and red blood into pale
oncs. 1t makes children grow.

HETTr GREEN'S HUSBAND.
Something of Him, Hetty and Their
Differences.

Differences.
Hetty Greens husband. Edward H..
Green, who died last week at the family
residence at Bellows Falls, ". was
born February g. 1891. When young
man he was member of the firm Of
Dean & Co., Boston. The company
failed and Mr. Green went to London.
and later to Manila, P. L., where he
remained seventeen years, first as an
employee and later as partner in the
firm of Russell Strugis & Co. He re-
turned to this country in 1875, and for
a time was president of the Louisville
s. Nashville Railroad.
Edward A. Green was worth a mil
lion on his own account, accumu-
lated in the East India trade, when he
married Miss Harriet Robinson, daugh-
ter of Edward Mott Robinson, the old
Yankee trader and the richest man in
New England Mr.. Green was a
trustee Of old Robinson s estate. This
was lust after the close of the civil war
Mr.. Green was getting on toward fifty
and Miss Robinson was about thirty.
He was a tall, handsome, distinguished
looking man, and she was sturdy
young woman who had inherited
80, 600, 900 from her father and "a, 00O,
900 more from her aunt Sylvia.
Miss Robinson had learned business
from her father whose right hand she
was. She took her aunt Sylvia 8
"a, 600, 600 and $1,000, 600 from her
patrimony and bought Government
bonds, and there has never been time
since, despite her railroad temptations,
that she has not had at least IS, 0OO,-
600 in United States bonds laid by for
a rainy day.
Those who knew her in the old days
say she was very much in love with
good looking, free-spending. Edward
Green; f'Spendthrift Green, he came
to be called in Wall Street in the days
when they took his million from him
and left him pensioner on his wife,
whose sixty or seventy million dollars,
to which her fortune grew, was not
in any sense an affair of his. Miss
Robinson was cautious even in the
excitement preceding her wedding,
for she drew up an agreement In ad-
vance of the ceremony which bound
Mr. Green to leave the handling OF
her fortune entirely in her own hands.
The Greens had brief spell Of
travel and social life, during which
they travelled abroad, and Hetty
Green was presented at court While
they were abroad their son Edward
Rowland Robinson Green, was born.
He is now railroad president and
politician in Texas, but growing up
was not all fun for him.
Among the stories that have been
published is that his mother used to
send this boy out to the corner to sell
the morning paper after 1t had been |
iead- teach him business.
