When this man. who in his little

they were married. From one business
TO another Griswold drifted. and after
many years OF wandering he came to
Kingston.
A small confectionery store offered
the couple a living. Then trouble came
upon them Griswold. always diligent
reader. began To study the works OF
Huxley. Darwin and tngersoll. The
books turned MS brain. and he was
committed TO the Middletown asylum.
There he was joined IN a short time by
Mrs. Griswold. who became insane
when parted from her husband.
A second time the GriswoIds were dis
charged as cured. When he resumed
business Griswold began the exploita-
ton Of matcrialistic theories. At his
own expense he brought here many
noted lecturers on atheism. and il he
could not sell tickets OF admission he
would give them away. His place OF
business he named the "Didactic Store
and he held forth there OF nights TO the
amazement or amusement of his listen
ers. Finally he became violent. and
about year ago he was committed
again TO the Aiiddletown asylum. from
which IL is not expected he will ever be
released

eradicating the bitterness that existed
between the clannish mOuntaineers
who for years had carried on family
wars. His efforts 10 end the Baker
Howard White feud and several other
minor feuds in the district of the Pine
mountains. midway between Harlan
and Ridcout, earned for the missionary
the title OF "feud breaker" In the lat
ter years OF his ministry he was able
10 unite in friendship the leaders and
followers of the famous Tolliver feud,
in which scores had died.
Still, even in death, Rev Mr.. Slade
was not content and. convinced that
the most effective method of impress
ing the feudists was through the pray
ers OF a dead man. he conceived the
idea of preaching his own funeral ser
mon. BY doing this he hoped 10 settle
she differences between a number Of
families who were threatening TO de-
clare open war at any moment
IL was while engaged in his splendid
missionary work that Mr.. Slade be-
came i'll, and last September he made a
trip to his old home in Louisville to
consult with physicians there His
trouble was Brighrs disease and when
the doctors gave him no hope he de-
cided to return 10 his mountain home
and end his days among the people TO
whose spiritual welfare he had devoted
his life.
When he returned from Louisville To
his missionary work he took with him
a photograph ald a number of rec
ords. among which we're the latest
musical successes the best Oratory and
many humorous Rotations. Such a
luxury had never before been heard OF
ia that remote mountain district. so
when Mr. Slade turned his Wednesday
evening prayer meetings into phono-
graph entertainments the church was
crowded.
As his health fai ed and as Mr.. Slade
realized that the end was drawing near
he announced 70 his congregation that
he had but a few weeks 10 live, and
asked them to come 20 his home and
personally bid him farewell. Members
of his congregation aud others came In
troops-the house was filed with these
rough miners and mountaineers. who
loved him for what he had done fol
them He pleaded with them TO end
their strife and forget the old feuds.
One day during the last week OF his
life ne had the photograph drawn
close to his bed and then poured into
Il the story OF his life and last plea

Joseph Tagasugi, Toxic Newspa-
per Man, Says Japan Cannot
Yield in Demands on Russia
MUST HAVE FRUIT OF VICTORY
People of Japanese Nation Are Unani.
nous in Their Demand That Rus
STA Must Pay the Damage
of the Long Conflict

Joseph Tagasugi, newspaper cor
respondent from Toxic, Japan, and
son of man formerly come cted with
the imperial treasury, spenta the day
IN Kenosha looking over some of the
great industries in the city. Tagas-
ugi has been in America for the past
four weeks and is the guest of the j a.
panese vice consul in Chicago. He
has come to America for a long rest
and to renew some of the friendships
of his college days. Tagasugi was
educated in this country, being one of
the first japanese students to COM
plete their education in an American
college.
After returning to Japan Tagasugi
became war correspondent for one
of the papers in Toxic, and in this
capacity he has been with the army
at the front for the better part of
year and half. He was present at
the fall of Port Arthur and was an
eye witness of many of the land en-
gagements following the famous sur
render of the Russians.
While in the city today Tagasugi
was seen, and in an interview he said
that he would rather not have much
to say in regard to the demands of the
Japanese on the Russians, as this
matter was in the hands of the Japan
csc representatives at Portsmouth and
that the entire Japanese people would
back up any treaty made by these rep-
resentatives. However, he declared
that Japan would not consent to lose
the fruits of their victory.
"A1l we ask" said Tagasugi, els
an honorable peace and one that will
give to Japan the fruits of her long
fight against Russia. The Japanese
people are not a warning people, but
at the same time we have so shown
should have some of the results of the
victories. The war has cost Japan a
large sum of money and it must be
paid back in some way. However, if
the peace negotiations fail to amount
to anything, Japan is still ready to
defend her honor. The armies of
Japan are in the field and they form
as fine body Of men as can be found
in the world. We have no doubt as
to the ultimate outcome of the fight
with Russia. There was a time when
many of the Japanese students who
had been educated in America be-
1ieved that it was foo1hardy for Japan
to believe that she could fight with
Russia, but this feeling was never
shared by the great rank and file of
the Japanese army. The army is
composed of fighters, and their ex-
ample to the world has shown that
they are able to cope with any nation.
The Japanese, however, want peace,
and we are of the opinion that if the
present negotiations fail others will
be opened within short time which
will make a lasting peace.
Mr.. Tagasugi will return to Japan
late in September, and if the war is
renewed he will again go to the front.
The young man is polished writer of
English as we'll as Japanese, and dur
ing his college days in this country he
gained some renown as poet and
story writer. A number of his stories
were published in leading magazines.
