every farmer ought to know, SO per

a Modern Greek at so
New YORK Evening Post


Prof Basil L. Gildersleeve completes
today his eightieth year. with no appa-
rent elimination of his intellectual vigor
and alertness or of that sparkling and
pungent humor which has been as vital
an element as his scholarship in the in
fiuence he has exerted upon students and
scholars for more than half a century.
The place of Greek in the college and
university world is very different now
from what IL was when the young South
Carolinian. at the age of % gained his
doctorate OF philosophy at Gottingen,
among the first of the long line of Amer
lean scholars who were to bring to this
country the ideals and standards of Ger
man learning and science; but in Profess
sor Gildersleeve's lecture room, as in his
published writings, the lamp has been
kept burning as brightly as ever through
all the changes of time How little, how
ever, he answers to the vulgar notion of
the Greek or Latin specialist has been
evidenced month after month for more
than 80 years in the delightful wit and
almost encyclopedia range of his brief
Comment in the American Journal of
Philology, of which he has been the edi-
tor from its foundation in the early years
of Johns Hopkins university. OF that
istftution, as of the intellectual and social
life of Baltimore, he has been a leading
light during the IS years of his professor
ship there, following upon 20 years as
professor in the University of Virginia.
Far from drying up the springs of the
delight and interest in everyday life,
these 55 years of study and service have
left Professor Gildersfeeve today, at the
age of fourscore, man of amazing
freshness of spirit, a human fiC re as at
tractive as it is distinguished. If the
diving out of the study of Greek means
the loss of this type of the scholar and
man of culture, it will require wonder
full showing of gains in the direction of
unitarian efficiency to redress the bal
ance.

uated at the junction of Sixteenth
street and Florida avenue, once city
boundary line. At the time the dwell
ing house was built 1t was on the out
skirts of the city, and the public opin-
ion pronounced the Hendersons unwise
to rear so fine mansion in so re-
mote a spot. But their faith in flu.
ture values has been amply justified,
and 1t is generally believed that Mr..
and Mrs Henderson have made some
what of fortune in real estate.
Among the most famous gatherings
ever held under the Henderson roof
was that in which the mistress of the
house flung the contents of her wine
cellar into the streets, having be-
come a convert to temperance. The
Henderson's vegetarian dinners are
celebrated throughout the city. Among
the most notable of the converts made
at the festive board was the former
Chinese minister WI Ting-fang, who
boarded the water wagon and the
vegetable wagon at one bound The
protest against the high prices of
meat found a ready advocate in Mrs.
Henderson, and many of the meetings
of the league, which had for it's OBJ
ject cut in prices, were held in her
home. The Henderson house Is aptly
styled a castle for it bears much
resemblance on its high knoll to the
strongholds of feudal times.

chot house in Rhode Island avenue,

former Forester Clifford Pinchot and

public is that portion of the house
occupied by the former forester In
marked contrast to the other rooms
the apartments of Mr.. Pinchot are
plain almost to severity. Many time

CHAPTER VIII

Tom Gordon-Thomas Jefferson now
only in his mothers letters-was past
10, and his voice was in the transition
stage which made him blushingly self
conscious when he ran up the window
shade in the Pullman to watch for the
earliest morning outlining of old Leb-
anon on the southern horizon.
inconsistencies returned with renewed
qualms when the train had doubled the
nose of Lebanon and threaded it's way
among the hills to the Paradise por-
VAL Gordonia, of the single side track,
had grown into a small iron town, with
the Chiawassee plant thanking a good
half-mile of the railway; with Gin
derry street or two, and a scummy wave
OF operatives cottages and laborers'
shacks spreading up the hillsides which
were stripped bare of their trees and
underground.
Toms eyes filled, and he was won
dering family if the desolating tide OF
progress had topped the hills to pour
over into the home valley beyond, when
| his father accosted him. There was a
| little shock at the sight of the grizzled
| hair and beard turned so much grayer;
| but the welcoming was like a grateful
| draft of cool water in parched wilder
ness,

Tom was painfully conscious of his

| clumsily in his own way, particularly
| as to hands and feet. The sectarian

such purely mundane trivialities as
| physical fitness and the harmonious
education Of the growing body and
| limbs.
Yes; I'm so big it makes me right

the child-time phrase.

Dark and Threatening,

Two baseball teams, which were
made up of negro players, exhibited a
great contest of the national game be.
fore large crowd on the open lots
at Twelfth and Porter streets, says
the Philadelphia Times. The score
stood 2 to 2 in the eighth inning. Two
men were on bases, two players out,
when the pitcher of one of the mines
walloped the ball to midcenter He
sprinted around the bags as If In pur.
suit of dozen chickens. The center
fielder of the opposing team shot the
ball with terrific speed toward the
fourth station, and as the runner was
about to cross the plate the catcher
touched him with the horsehide. The
negro umpire shouted at the top Of
his voice: de runner am safe" and
as the word safe" died away the
many spectators began to crowd
around the umpire. whats dat?'

CITY OF MANSIONS
MiIIionaires' Homes In Washing
ton 0vershadoW White House.
Presidents Abode Is No Longer a
PaIace-Slmpllcity of More
Democratic Era Departs as
New Wealth Comes In.

Washington.-Thank to million
numbers of the richest men in the
country to seek homes in Washing
ton, the capital city possesses some of
the most attractive residences to be
found anywhere in the land, and the
increasing number of tastefully
planned and decorated mansions is
becoming more marked every season.
The former simplicity of more DEM
ocratic era has given place to splen-
dor which Is fast making of the ma
tion's capital one of the show cities
Of the world. The White House,
which in the day of the early presi-
dents was considered palace, seems
hopelessly inadequate to the condi-
lions of the present day entertain
ing, and the roofs under which the
statesmen of an earlier epoch did the
honors for their personal and political
friends would hardly rise above the
ceilings of the ground floor of most
OF the big houses of today. 1t is
hardly more than a score of years
ago that the first of the millionaire
colonists began to colonize here, yet
these same colonists are now looked
upon as old residents
Opposed the BeImonts.
Many an interesting bit of personal
history is connected with the cree
ton of the new palaces in Washing
ton, and to some of them distinctive
names have been given. For instance,
the newly erected mansion of the
Perry Belmonts in New Hampshire
avenue is known by some as the
Spite House." Among those who are
said to have opposed the entrance of
the Belmonts into Washington society
were Thomas Nelson Page, clubman
and litterateur, and his wife, former
ly Mrs. Field of Chicago, the widow
of one Of Chicagos wealthiest men.
