The Gentle, Brusque and Welcome
Farmhouse Intruder.

The Gentle, BrusQue and Welcome
Farmhouse Intruder.
''When Horace Greeley was first mar
rled and brought his bride home on a
visit" said an old acquaintance, "a
sugar party was given III their honor on
neighboring farm. All the guests
had arrived, and we We're looking out
watching for the belated bride and
groom At last we saw something ap-
pearing in the distance. AS this same
object came nearer we discovered it
was the old white horse Of the Gree
leys slowly picking his way through
the mud. On his back sat the bride
in brilliant yellow frock. with a
green velvet belt, and behind her,
wrapped In his famous white over
coat, sat the editor Of the New York
Tribune. 1t was the funniest sight
ever saw and set us off in fits OF
laughing. I remember that | simply
lay down and rolled upon the floor i'll
q spasm OF mfrth.
MIR. Greeley came home every year
| and after a day or two on the farm
| would start out to walk miles and
call on people He was never known
to knock at farmhouse door. Nc
matter whether lie knew the inmates
or not he would push open the door
walk right In, sit down by the fire
place and fall to discussing crops and
other topics dear to the farmers
heart Everybody was glad to vel
come this gentle, brusque intruder"

In Germany and Austria the custom
still prevails among the upper classes
OF society Of the men kissing the
hands Of the ladies. although tile prac-
tice has been abandoned in England,
Scandinavia, Spain, etc, as well as In
France. except among certain Of the
members of the ancient regime In the
Faubourg St Germain at Paris. In
Austria the women are accustomed to
make distinction between the right
and the left hand. Thus the right
hand Is extended to be kissed by In
fcriors. while the left, as nearest TIC
heart, is reserved for the kiss Of PEG
pie Of equal social rank.

Preventative Peat.

Feat possesses wonderful antiseptic
and preservative qualities owing to the
presence % tannin, iron and other sub,
stances in it. Here is an instance: At
the time Of the coyenanters, In 1855,
three men were shot at place called
Crossgelloch on the moors above Old
Cumnock, In Scotland. IN 1926, when
a monument was being erected to their
memory, the workmen came upon the
corpses rolled in their plaids. The bod
les were In exactly the same state as
when they were buried. The moss had
preserved them Us If they had been EN-
balmed,

Artificial Flowers.

1t was in Italy that demand for ar,
tificial flowers first arose. This was due
primarily to caprice of fashion which
demanded that during festivals bios
SONS In and out Of their seasons should
be worn and also to the fact that their
color and freshness were stable. Later
on. tn the middle ages, the artificial so
far superseded the natural that both
men and women decked their heads
with imitation flowers of cambria. pa
per, glass and metal. The best artificial
flowers are now made In Paris.

ANSWERS
COMPLAINT

Cleveland o., Nov. S.-As "A witness be-
foro Commissioner Prouty of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission In the case
OF Cleveland and Pittsburg firms charging
rate discrimination on the part OF the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Joseph Russell Marble, paint,
OIL and varnish merchant of Worcester.
Mass, testified for the complainants yes
terday.
While he declared that the withdrawal
OF the prorate by the railroad company
SO 1ar az petroleum IN concerned had
practically killed that line OF business for
MN IN cases where he was compelled 20
use the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad. he admitted that 80 far IA
ne Knew the Standard Oil Company
named In the bill OF complaint, had re-
celyed no better treatment.
The Fred S. Clark Company OF Cleve-
land ana the Waverly Oil Company OF
PittsDurg make the claim that the rail-
road I'm question discriminates In favor OF
the standard oil Company
Mr.. Marble declared that he has had for
years considerable difficulty I'm securing
estimates on freight rates for petroleum
from the road named.
Percy X. Todd. First Vice President OF
the road complained OF, appeared as a
witness Tor his company. He testified az
follows:
we are ready TO give any company
the same treatment we extend TO the
standard OIL Company Commissioners
GARFIELD has investigated this matter and
want TO say that the Standard oil
Company received from the New Hayen
road no concessions and no favors ex-
cept what is shown by the tariffs on file
or that would he flied. We threw open
our books In the former investigation. We
were never asked 10 report To the Stand
ara OH Company shipments OF their com
peutors. The Jealousy OF trunk lines for
Western business has much 20 do with our
policy regarding rates. There is "A mis-
taken apprehension az TO monopoly. The
Standard oil Company IL is being found
only enjoys monopoly by virtue OF their
being better situated 10 meet requirements
and natural conditions"
Asked II William Rockefeller was not
a director In the New Haven road Mr..
Todd said. Yes, he Is, but John ID.
Rockefeller or no other Standard oil man
Is on the board OF directors"

THE cHADWIcKs MEET.
Pathetic Scene Takes Place In the
Cleveland County Jail.

Pathetic Scene Takes Place In the
Cleveland County Jail.
Cleveland, Jan. 2.-Sheriff Barry
and DR.. Leroy s. Chadwick arrived
here Sunday from New York over the
Pennsylvania road. Taking carriage
at the Union station, they were driven
at once to the county Jail. where bail
bond for $4,000 was furnished for
Or. Chadwick's appearance in criminal
court next Tuesday, when he will be
given a preliminary hearing.
After the preliminaries in the sher-
iff's Office DR.. Chadwick was escorted
by Sheriff Barry to the fourth floor of
the woman's ward, where his wife Is
held prisoner. The meeting between
the two was pathetic in the extreme.
Irs. Chadwick arose when she heard
the steps in the corridor and fell in
her husbands arms when she recog-
nized him. Both broke down and wept
convulsively for several minutes.
while clinging to each other, the sher-
iii attempting meanwhile to console
them.
DR.. Chadwick has lost his all in the
operations Of his wife and the large in
dependent fortune Of his only child has
been swept away. Sufficient reason, it
would seem, for some show of hard
ness on his part. Mrs. Chadwick tried
to Undue him with the thought of her
innocence Of any wrongdoing. His
only response to these pleas was 81
hope so.'
The troubles into which both have
been plunged were thoroughly dis
cussed. The wife told the story, inter
spersed by violent fits Of weeping, In
which at times DIR. Chadwick Joined.
There were no apparent evasions, but
there was a constant cry of: "Trust
me! Trust mel" on the part of the
woman.
After an hours earnest converse
ton, conducted for the most part in a
scarcely audible whisper, Sheriff
Barry was asked by Mrs. Chadwick to
send for her attorney, J. P. Dawley,
who was waiting with Attorney Ker-
ruish in the Jail office.
A short conversation with them fol-
lowed and then DR.. Chadwick took his
departure
