Johns inn several times in vain. e;imi-
mated it by filling all the surrounding
property with white ribbon tenan,s and
forced John to close out his business

UP HATED BAR.
Hens in Obnoxious Tavern With
Abstemious Neighbors Until
Flow Of Cheer Flags.

TARRYTOWN, n. Y, July 15.-Is it
Rockefeller or rheumatism which is re-
sponsible for Johnny Melin's action in
selling his inn at Sleepy Hollow and his
announcement that today-ran or shine
he will auction off .his stems. beer glasses,
bar fixtures and dispose of his usque-
baugh. eau de vie. the superior liquid re-
freshment which is drawn from the
wood and wine which dates away back
to the memorable night when Ichabod
Crane fed in wild alarm from the head
less Hessian?
Gossip says that the shrewd old Stand
ard Oil magnate has been playing game
Of chess with Inkeeper John in which the
surrounding property was pressed into
service as the oil mans pawns.
Innkeeper John Checkmated.
As fast as a piece of property fell into
Mr.. Rockefeller's hands or that of his
agents, employees of the fnancier were
put in AS tenants, and all these tenants
were teetotalers
Nearer and nearer the Rockefeller ten-
antry approached. They hemmed i'm the
picturesque mn on the stored, tree shaded
road until one fine morning mine host
John stood in his doorway and looked
"poo' oii q 'ouHliS III Wnlcn the only
thing which didn't belong to Mr. Rookie
feller was the inn standing like rock in
the wilderness.
Then Mr. Melin tumbled TO the fact that
the pawnS had been pushed farther and
farther toward his king row until he
found himself checkmated
There was no more eDb tide in the
polished decanters behind Johnny's bar
and the taps from which a steady, cool
ing stream formerly flowed gathered cob
webs from disuse.
Regularly every morning John arose
with hope Springing eternal in his breast
and gaZed out over ancient Sleepy Hol-
low. But nothing came through the for
est except dronng bees, and bees take
honey only.

men achieve pigs and others have pigs thrust upon them.'
 It's all your own fault, Nat" said Natalie's father. Natalie wanted my assistance in the commissary depart ment, but I declined firmly. You are too weakminded about Natalie" That young persons father laughed q prefer a dog. myself, but an attendant pig is very becoming to you"
 You think you're funny, don't you?" said Nat, witheringly q wish you'd tell Natalie to keep her pet where she can't see me this afternoon I'm going to take a walk down to the station"
 That's so; Miss Benton is expect ed today. I wonder how she will take to Cleopatra? Will it be Love me, love my hog?' Do you recall that old poem: There was a lady loved a swine?'"
 Nat cast scornful glance upon his brother-in-law and then strolled away with faithful Cleopatra at his heels.
 A pretty girl was just alighting from the parlor car that afternoon when Nat, who was hurrying toward her, heard familiar sQueal. Then, instead of greeting the new arrival, he made wild dash for Cleopatra. as she stood bewildered amid the wait. ing traps and automobiles, her gay pink sash united and bedraggled and her voice raised in fear. Then. clasp ing the rescued one safe in his arms, he turned, red and perspiring. and faced an amused group of travellers to find Miss Benton's eyes upon him.
 How do you do?" she said. "I didn't know you were so fond. of pigs"
 Its Natalie's pet. Cleopatra" Nat hastened to explain She has a bad habit of following me. It seems that I can't escape her. though I thought had done so this time. Laugh If you like, it won't make me feel any more uncomfortable than I do already"
