In all The romance of old Worthing
ton there is no greater halo than thar
which hanGs over the Griswold inn II
was built in 1906 by Ezra Griswold
who came from Connecticut with tho
pioneers who settled much of the
western reserve and central Ohio. This
family was an old one even for old
Connecticut and Ezra Griswold was Q
sturdy representative of it. He
brought this family into the great
west" with him and his son. George
Griswold, was reared in the inn. He
was eight years old when his father
brought him to Ohio.
George Griswold, in turn. inherited
the duty of perpetuating the name

Recently the New York Tribune
made mention Of new East side
philanthropic movement, the Nolks
kitchen. Kosher" eating place for
orthodox Jews. At first il was be-
lieved that on Saturday It could he
open only for supper and not for lunch
con. as religious Jews do not handle
money or tickets on the day Of rest.
However. an ingenious plan has been
devised by means Of which luncheon
can he served on the Jewish sabbath.
This plan is the simple one of adopt
ing badges or pins instead Of tickets
On Friday small badges are sold for
seven cents The observant Jew pins
it on his coat from which it is re-
moved upon his entering the following
day. Thus he obtains his Sabbath
luncheon from the Volks kitchen with

PASSING OF BOYS WORST JOB.

One of the changes that have taken
place within a few years, and which
most people have forgotten, is the re-
moval of the front yard fence. At
one time every citizen who had
things as they should be had a
fence, picket or otherwise, around his
house, either because of COWS or Gus
tom, or both. Gradually, as the
cows ceased to be driven through the
streets and custom changed, one per-
son after another removed his fence
until now they are things of the past.
And the boys of today are spared
considerable trouble by this change,
for every fence had long gate which
had to be opened and closed when
team went through, and it was the
boys duty to be gate tender. An
other and worse job for the boy was
painting the fence. Some manufac-
turers1in ardeFtas tashow-the.maonitude
their yearly products were placed
end to end they would reach around
the globe, more or less, and the boy
who had to paint good sized picket
fence felt before he got through that
if the entire surface could be spread
out, the two sides and two edges of the
pickets, and the top and bottom and
sides of the rails, it would go around
the globe. We speak from sad ex-
perience.
Much the same change has taken
place on the farms by the removal of
road fences. And the change is
source of profit, for it was considera-
BILE expense to maintain the fences,
and the land that was occupied by
them and was lost because of inability
to cultivate up to them is now availa-
