A CRANK on TEA.


Cyrus w. Fields Encounter with an
Expert Tea faster.
1t may be that the millionaire is no
more eccentric than humber mortals,
and yet in the fierce white light of
publicity 1t often seems so. Cyrus w.
Field was never given to any of the
expensive hobbies OF other rich men.
He did not dote ON horses or yachts or
pictures. But Mr.. Field did like tea.
He used TO say there was only one
man of his acquaintance who knew
how TO brew It, and that man was "Cld
Field" The father of the submarine
cable used TO travel great deal by
rail. but he never went anywhere with
out his favorite brand of tea and his
personal utensils for brewing IT,

In a buffet ear at daylight. seeking hot
water with which to brew his choice

invariably a part of his baggage.
One day when Mr.. Field was going
through Front street he was attracted
by tea faster who was slipping the
contents of as number OF small cups.
Mr.. Field watched the man carefully
and observed his method OF using boil
ing water. Finally he entered the
place and said to the expert: How long
have you been in this business?"
"Thirty-one years." said the tea tast-
er, who was enjoying ~ annual In

remarked Mr.. Field frankly. you

of that stuff for you"
The aged philanthropist poured water
on some leaves which he took from IL

few seconds and invited the tea faster
to test IT, But the expert spat the stuff
out. Worst evcrr' was his comment.
Not even properly brewed." Then Mr..
Field, who was sensitive man, turned
on his heel and walked away, mutter-
ing, IF you are an expert, the good
Lord help some of our tea drinkers"
But when the millionaire was out of

A Tough Old Invalid.

In England the purchase of an ad'
vowson, or the right to succeed to a
vacant church office is not uncommon.
There is story told Of country vic
arage whose incumbent was, though
but middle aged, very intirm. His ten
ure of the position being thus uncer-
tain, the living was advertised for sale.
The auctioneer who at the time bad
the disposal of all church preferments
mentioned as Il special advantage to In
tending purchasers that the then holder
could not last long To put this pros
pect to the test several possible buyers
went down to the village to look over
the vicar. 4 father and son attended
the Sunday services at the church. a
servant led in the ailing vicar, but the
latter managed to get through a very
earnestly delivered sermon lasting half
an hour. In the afternoon he again
conducted service. baptized children
and preached for fifty minutes. Serv-
Ice in the evening was to follow. But
the man who had come to buy had seen
enough. "Aly SON. he said. that old
cock amt a-goin' yet; l am" and he
forthwith departed. In the end young
parson bought the place for himself.
The invalid outlived by twenty years
the man who had bought his living.
He lasted fifty years beyond the sale
and died of sheer old age at ninety
two.

decided on for lieutenant governor.
sented to the convention.
The convention was called to order
at 1928. Duncan f. E. Lee was made
permanent chairman. His address was
lberally cheered.
The platform adopted prOclaims the
devotion Of the party to the principles
of government enunciated by jefferson
and then proceeds to attack what it
calls "Odellism.' 1t says:
The issue of Odellism. the para
mount and overshadoWing issue in
state affairs, is between official non
pable violation of his sworn obliga-
tion to be the impartial servant of the
whole people Governor Odell has as
sumed to act as state chairman of his
political machine. His present dual
action constitutes a public scandal and
amounts to the grossest contempt of
official duty in the history of the state.
Instead of being opposed to extrava-
gance the administration has become
the actual promoter of adroit schemes
to loot the public treasury under the
guise of law.
State issues are then taken up and
handled exhaustively. The platform
endorses the national ticket and plat
form.
x-Senator Hill placed Herrick In
nomination for governor. At the con-
clusion of Hills nominating speech
George Raines moved that the secre-
tary cast the ballot of the convention
for Herrick and it was done. Herrck's
election was the result of a cOmprO-
clared that he would not accept Sena-
tor McCarren's candidate, Comptroller
Grout, and Hill finally brought the
factions together by an act of self
abnegation in accepting mis- ancient
and personal enemy and promising to
nominate him himself. For many years
the Hill and Herrick factions have
been at war in Albany county.
Harrison was nominated for lieuten-
ant governor.
For attorney general John Gunnan
of Erie, was nominated for secretary
of state. John Palace, jr., of Monroe;
for treasurer William Munich, Of
OnOndaga.
