Whatever the plans of the New
York District Attorney, William Tray
ers Jerome, may be in reference to the
criminal prosecution of the central
figures in the great American insur-
n scandal, it is patent to all Paris,
writes a correspondent in the French
capital, that no fear is entertained in
the mind of James Hazen Hyde, former
vice president of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, or Richard A. Nc
Curdy, who was ousted from the pres
idency of the Mutual. For more than
a year now these two ostracized mill
ionaire yotaries of high finance have
luxuriated in the distracting atmos-
phere of Paris.
Hyde. who is really better known In
Paris than he was at any time in New
York, Is living an easy life. His most
serious effort at the present time is to
become known as the king of the Paris
Latin quarter. To this mi Hyde is
spending his money lavishly, and the
wide circle of Bohemian painters and
litterateurs, which he has gathered
around him, regard him as their pa
tron saint.
Hyde lives in a beautiful and mann
moth mansion in Avenue Henri Martin.
In the spacious salon Of his beautiful
home Hyde gives regular entertain
ments, which are the very acme of cpl
curean splendor. Els favorite pastime
Is to entertain large parties of his
giddy friends upon automobile excur-

fully ripe, with ocher yellow, the stripes
contracting and extending into the cav

especially conspicuous where the pur-

when thoroughly ripe; flavor not strik-

render it a good shipper. Ripe Sept.

ton with the insurance revelations. He
is the hero of the ~impecunious horde
of,long-haired youths of the ~boulevards.
Hyde participates fully in the. free and
easy life of the Latin quarter. At the
last artists ball, Hyde made a big hit
impersonating an Arabian gypsy.
Recently Hyde has shown a tendency
to re-enter aristocratic French society,
and among the f~ashionables of Paris
his princely wine cellar is exciting Won
der ana admiration.
Richard A. McCurdy's existence in
Paris has been quite the opposite of
Hyde's, though it is well intended to
blot from the memory of the former
Mutual president the disagreeabIe ex-
periences of a year and a half ago.
McCurdy's life in Paris has amounted
almost to monastic retirement. He is
surrounded by IN exclusive circle of
personal friends, and he is devoting
himself to simple diversions which car-
ny with them no distasteful memories.
He is never seen in the gay centers Of
Paris, and ne is entirely unknown in
society. He reads no newspapers.
When an effort was made to interview
him he sent word that he would feel
keenly any further notoriety in connec-
ton with the insurance scandal. At
this time it is learned from a personal
friend of McCurdy's that, while he is
attempting in every possible way to
eradicate memories of the scandal
which enmeshed him, he finds it diff
cult to have any complete comfort in
his life.

sc1ecttne MULCH cow.

That one COW can be made to do the
work OF two has been found to be
easily accomplished by the selection Of
the best individuals. A Vermont dairy
man, whose cows produced 100 pounds
Of butter each per year., has succeed
ed in getting 200 pounds per year from
each COW in the herd. Dairymen in
other sections have done fully as well.
1t is claimed that If one COW gives
as much as formerly did two, there
is a saving in stable room, labor and
care. This cannot be accomplished,
however, unless the cows are reared
on the farm, or purchased from i'm
proved breeds. Feed, Of course, is
an important matter, also, but a good
COW will give more product from the
food eaten than will an Inferior COW
that is fed in the same manner.
