DAYSEY MAYME LEARNS

Whenever a Man From Home comes
to New York" wrote Daysey Mayme
Appleton to her sister, ''he regards it
as his Christian duty to do something
to keep me from getting homesick, and
he always succeeds, for the places
where he takes me are not like any
home on the map. Even the orchestra
doesn't play it.
THE last Man From Home took me
to German restaurant on East Four
teenth street. He said there was moth
ing like it at home, and he was right.
ITO begin with, at home we serve
olives in a cut glass dish, and some
times it is the only piece of cut glass
in the house, and that is the reason
We always have olives when there is
company. But there is no end to the
olives at home, and at this German
restaurant every one was served with
just one-think of that, will you?-
just one olive each, and it was served
in glass with some sort of LIQUID
over it, and you had to drink the
liquid before you could get the olive
1t was either that or fish for it.
What will it do to me-? 1 asked
the Man From Home, and he replied
Not much
There were women there who ate
as many olives as if they had been
served in a dish, and didn't seem to
mind it because the taste was spoiled
by the stuff that was poured over them
wish 1 could tell you how to make
1t, so you could serve the olives that
way when you entertain the preacher
and his wife, and then you could have
the cut glass dish for something else

SEEK TO RELEASE.
HIRAM F0RDNEY
CLAIMED THAT VETERAN IS DE-
TANNED UNLAWFULLY AT
SOLDIERS HOME.

! Marshalltown, May 9.-The frs
case Of it's kind on record-proceed
! lngs in habeas corpus to take fro1.
tae soldiers home and the coltr,l o
Conmandant G. c. Horton, a member
| of the institution-has been com
menced in the district court. BY the
action it is sought to sercure the re
lease of Hiram Fordney, of McGregor
who Is being detained on the home
grounds by order Of the command
ant.
The application for the writ. which
was granted by Judge j. M. Parker
was made in the name of Martins
Davis, who lives in the south part Of
the city.
Alleged He Is Imprisoned.
The petition on which the court or
dered that Fordney be delivered to 1t
alleges that Fordney is being impris
oned and restrained of his liberty
without any reason for such restraint
It says that he obtained furlough
to leave the home, and that after leav
ing he was forcibly taken by the home
authorities and returned to the home
where he is now restrained. Such re
straint, it is alleged, is without au
thority Of Jaw.
Got FurIough But staid Here.
The home authorities side of the
case is quite a different story, how
ever. In March, it is claimed, Ford
ney applied for and secured a ninety
day furlough, on the representation
that he wanted to go to McGregor to
be with his sister, who was dying. He
left the home, but, ten days later,
Commandment Horton learned that he
was in the city at the home Of Mrs.
Davis. He ordered the home guard to
go to the house and get him, which
was done. The commandant then can
celed Fordney's furlough and ordered
him not to leave the grounds until
further notice.
One reason, it is said, for the neces-
sity Of tn, restraint Is that Fordney
is physically not able to care for him
self, also that he is not strong men
tally.
The law of the state governing it's
public institutions gives the head of
each institution entire charge o. it's
members so long as they are mem
bers. ..
