! When the train got TO Monroe.
there were about 100 persons at the
station, for news of the arrival had
preceded him. Most of those who
were there were women The wait
ing party had trouble recognizing
Earle, because he had shaved off the
beard he used to wear. and his hair
was cut shorter than usual The mus
tache he still wore.
There Were No Eggs 10 Throw.
However, as there are not so many
parties which get off the train at
Monroe. the Earle group of four soon
were recognized.
Some one called out. Get the
eggs!" But there wasn't any overt
act. and no one tried TO stop the two
women of the party from getting into
n carriage that was waiting. They
drove off mp to Quaker Hill Earle
and Albert Kutiner walked up there,
about half mile. The village came
to its doors to inspect and comment
ON the progress.
There wasn't anything that hap
pened until the evening at Monroe.
Then party of about twenty young
mon. with lots of time on their hands,
engaged the services of drum corps.
SO called, made UP Of n bass drum. q
snare drum, and broken-windel
cornet. and set out for Quaker Hill
to give the party "sliimmington," as
it is called in Monroe parlance, other
wise shivaree. The party went ont
hopefully enough, played as melodi-
ously as the musical outfit would per-
init, all framed up to make n great
noise and annoy the Earles.
Disarmed by Diplomacy.
They entered the grounds and
walked up to the house. There on
the piazza stood Mr. Earle. The pa =
raiders forgot their intention and
stood there looking foolish.
Come on In" said Earle, "elad TO
see you.' The paraders filled in
sheepishy. They stood about aim
lessly. looking from Earle to his wife
then to his mother and his brother
in-law. No one found anything to
say until one man blurted out: eve
wish you happiness"
Thanks" said Earle. 'we're all
very happy. I'm sure. It's very kind
of you to wish-ts happiness. 1t shows;
that there are no hard feelings and
that we are going to have pleasant
time"
Then he said he was sorry there
was nothing for the party 10 eat in
the house. because he was n vegeta-
rian and didn't keep what they would
like. probably. About that time some
one offered him drink, saying that
1t was vegetable. and he took It, Then
the most embarrassed made as quick
a getaway as they could. feeling that
they had succeeded in doing the very
thing they didn't so TO do. Earle's
diplomacy insured the failure of sub
sequent demonstrations
Contamination of His Happiness.
Mr.. Earle talked to the reporters
briefly. 1.-The incident is closed he
said. az can't see why the public
should have any interest in It, and |
do not believe that it has. The con-
summation of my happiness has now
come about. After my marriage with
Miss Kuttner and before sailed from
Europe I saw my wife and baby. They
were both happy and my wife assur-
ed me that she had no cause to re-
greet have come home here to
make my home, and | see no reason
why I should not stay here"
Mr. Earle denied a report that he
had married in Italy before the di-
vorce was granted in France saying;
That would make. me n bigamist. |
have kept within the law in every ac-
ton that | have taken. and certain
ly would not commit bgamy<
"All this newspaper discussion has
arisen he said further. from the
fact that did things differently from
other people. I am not sorry for any
