CODiOus Rains.

The northeasterly winds which have
prevailed during the past few days
brought heavy rsinfals this morning;
At times the showers were accompanied
by thunder and lightning. The streets
were flooded and in some instances the
sewers on King and other streets became
clopped and the water spread from the
traps almost to the centre OF the streets.
The tide in the river this morning was
abnormally high. There is nothing,
however, in the shape of a current yet,
although, if prevailing conditions con.
tinue much longer, still higher tides will
follow which will naturally De accompa'
MED by more or less current.

Jeffersonian Simplicity.

Catherine Frances Cavanaugh, in the
Home Magazine for November
Jefferson was a methodical man, keep
ing account of all his expenditures, and
the yellowed accounts kept while he was
in the White House show that he spent
$l2, 900 for liquors alone during his term OF
eight years. When we take into consid-
Grafton the fact that glasses clinked mer-
rly around the cabinet table as well as
at the dining table, and that an open
buffet was kept for all callers, this amount
is not surprising. Notwithstanding the
low prices, Jefferson often spent as high
as $50 on his small dinners, wine list no.
included, and he was most particular
about his wines and brandies.
Jefferson's state dinners were usually
limited to about forty guests. The large
dining room was not considered finished,
so when his guests were numerous he had
a long table placed in the center of the
great East Room. and dismal enough it
must have been. with its bare walls, many
windows and draughts, and insufficient
light from the candles, which dropped wax
tears at every wind which blew up from
the Potomac. No wonder jefferson and
several of his successors looked forward
dismally to the state affairs and cheerful
ly to the informal dinners!

From the Bohemian Magazine for No

From the Bohemian Magazine for No

Miss Robson usually spends her sum-
mers at Yalerie-sur-So mno, ON the rench
coast, where she las her mia and from
which she makes automobile trips into
the surrounding country. The locale must
be visualized. VITA French peasant wom-
er in the foregrou I'd washing clothes at
a stream, and with an a.mc sphere, typi-
cally Basque and unvitated by the tour
list. Miss Robson had run her ear down
into little valley, and, caught by the
quaint picturesqueness Of the scene,
stopped for a mo'a-nt to lcck at the wom-
en-. Suddenly one of these women threw
down her washing and rushed toward
the car. As she approached it. it was evil
dent that she was BLACK and this in itself
was startling enough. Miss Robson's as
constituent became complete, however,
when the woman addressed her in unnlis-
taxable southern accent
Fob de LaWd's sake, honey, she CRIED
lis yo' American
The tale that the old da1key nanny
told was punctuated with scbs and recited
with wonderful pathos. A southern fam
lily had brought her to France. but while
there had been compelled to hurry home
in haste. Before leaving they had Sc
cured a place Cor their servant with
European family, who later also came to
grief Thus the old wo;nan was deserted
and for eighteen months she had been liv-
ing in a foreign country, unable to speak
a word of the language. with no means
of getting away AMI with an awful
gnawing inconsistencies in FER heart.
Miss Robsons sympathies were at once
aroused, and she took special pains to
furnish the old woman with funds to re-
turn to America. And the sequel to the
yarn is that friends wh) now visit Miss
Robson in New York often remark GER
tain delicious culinary delights of her
ia BILE, dishes of typical southern flavor
and character. Few know that they are
tributes of love and gratitude from poor
old colored woman liviEG on Amsterdam
avenue, to the charming young woman
who must have seemer to her something
in the nature of heaven sent messenger,
that day her motor car ran down in the
BASQUE valley.

OBJECTS TO A HORSES GRAVE.
Wants to Buy Old Cemetery Where
His Ancestors Lie.

Hadlyme, Conn.-Because he found that
an old gray horse had been buried near
his ancestors in the burying ground in
this town George b. Selden, the inventor
of the gasolene engine for automobiles,
has declared, according to the town gos-
sips, that he will buy the whole cemetery
and own and run it himself
Some time ago Mr.. Selden came to town
in touring car and made inquiries as TO
where his first American ancestors were
buried. Somebody directed him to the old
burying ground that was abandoned near
ly a century ago, and after porting over
the old tombstones he finally was able to
locate the last resting places of some of
his kin.
Many of the monuments were so defaced
and worn by rain and snow that the in
scriptions were ilegibe in whole or in
part. one of the oldest inscriptions now
legible is "Ellakin Selden, son of Joseph
Selden, died June =. 17ls, in ye seventh
year of his age" This was five years be-
fore the cemetery was laid out.
The town tradition is that a funeral pro-
cession to the Cove burying ground was
overtaken by a sudden storm and the
mourning friends stopping by the waysido
buried their dead. This determined the
town committeeman to lay out the ceme-
terry.
The highway leading to the old grave
yard was discontinued in 1927 and the
cemetery was no longer used except for
special purposes The story is that some
years ago a townsman lost by death a
faithful old gray horse who had been n
family pet Wishing to give the animal Il
resting place where his bones would not
be disturbed he selected a spot near the
old cemetery, but not strictly within its
border.
None of the residents objected, but Mr.
Selden became highly indignant when he
learned of this. He at once set about
buying the cemetery. His agent has Just
secured the right of way to the old grave
yard and some adjoining property which
is needed to carry out Mr.. Selden's plans
for the Improvement of the last resting
place OF his ancestors.
Before Mr.. Selden babe his ancestors
goodbye he had picture taken of him
self in an automobile and one of his sons
driving a yoke of oxen as illustrative IF
progress made since his father in an OK
cart drove out of town to seek his for
tune.
