to the real estate business and erected
eleven dwellings. On October 20.

daughter of John SedRwick of Pal
ner, and they had two children, Mary
5 Converse, who died in 1852, and

and was the representative to the gen.
eral court in 1856. Mr.. Converse
and Henry Brown of Brimfield were
instrumental in raising the money to
augment the fund donated to found
the Hitchcock Free academy in Brim-
field, and was named as one of the
original trustees by Mr.. Hitchcock,

until he moved to Warren. When
he was chosen treasurer he had funds
amounting to $4,000, and on his
retirement, % years later, there was
SS4, 600 in the treasury. He was a
selectman in Warren two years, 1883
and 1884, and always favored the
republican party politics. He also
was interested in church work, and
was a member of the First Oongrega-
tional church. He was q member of
the Warren Thief Detecting society
and of the Warren board of trade.
He also was a very active worker in
the Warren Rural Improvements So
ciety, and did much to improve the
appearance of the town. He person
ally supervised the setting out of 300
shade trees in various parts of the
9own, and was largely instrumental
in establishing watering troughs in
several places in town. Mr.. Con-

The word cook, used in the sense Of
"cook up accounts" is generally put
in quotation marks, but the phrase has
been almost long enough in use to give
it indisputable standing. Smollett
wrote of cooking accounts" in 1751,
and proofs were cooked" a century
earlier, but somehow "cook" remains
what the dictionaries sniff at as "col-
loquial' in this sense, while "concoct,"
which means to cook or boil together
has the status of fully accepted
word. The Romans used "concoquo"
and the simple "coquo" alike in the
metaphorical sense Of bordering and
devising, but the obvious metaphor Of
cooking" accounts never occurred to
them.-Chicago News.
