Printers Romance
Will End at Altar

1t is not generally known that ro-
nance stalks in the lives of printers
and that they have hearts just like
other humans. 1t is fact, neverthe-
less, that they do think of other things
besides type and ink, Tor right mere
in Ell Centre was link in the chain
of romance that will be forged in
the whole in st. Louis, Mo-, when K.
A. Houston, of the Press mechani-
cal staff, takes as his bride Miss An
ME L. Allen next Sunday afternoon.
The little home wedding that will
take place next Sunday in the Missouri
city is the climax of a boy and girl
love begun in Vernon, Tex, when Bob
used to carry Annie's books home
from school. This comradeship kept
up until twelve years ago, when An
ME moved to st. Louis with her par
.ents and Bob went out into the world
to earn his fortune as printer.
The boy and girl corresponded dur
ing all these years and the school
days love ripened into the love of
man and woman. Absence had made
the "heart grow fonder.' Twelve
years that had seemed so long, now
is but day of joy, each at the
other end of the line eagerly waiting
for the letters bearing the old, old
story.
Bob left FL Centre yesterday even-
ing for st. Louis and the girl that he
has not seen for twelve years. Next
Sunday in the home of the bride the
ceremony will take place and MIR. and
Mrs. Houston will start on their
honeymoon to San Francisco, Port
land, Seattle, Vancouver, B. c., and
then back down the coast to the I'm
perial valley, where he is expected to
arrive some time about the first of
March.

The Oldest Travelling Man

Globe-Democrat: George A. Olney
of Brooklyn, said to be the Oldest
travelling salesman in the United
States in point of service, has decided
to retire at the age of 70 years. For
So years he has been in continuous
service. He hasn't announced any plans
for Willing away his remaining years,
but it is hoped he may write his rem
iniscences. No vocation has been in
fluenced more by the changes of the
last half century than that of the COM
mercial traveller The drummer of ear
ly tradition was pre-eminently jol-
liers His chief qualification was abil-

with cigars and an invitation to shave

was this invitation often refused. The
pioneer drummer was also story tel
Ter. His collection of "new ones''
frightened every rural store and vii
lage hotel. His opinion on matters of
national import was highly esteemed
His judgment as to the results Of a
coming election was likewise priced
and many an election bet was based
on his "tip." His varied social ac-
complishments were his capital and
were responsible for the liberality OF
the orders he procured. And to the
merchant the drummer was not rep.
resentative of a house; he was the
\ whole establishment.
But these conditions have changed
very much. The salesman must nov
talk goods and prices. He must bt

Butter Price Down.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Butter from fan
away Siberia, Argentina and even New
Zealand has flooded the Chicago mar
ket in the last two months and, be-
cause of its coming into competition
with the choice product of the diaries
of Illinois, Wisconsin and other cen
trail west states, prices have been
hammered down materially.
In six weeks the wholesale price of
butter dropped 10 cents pound. A
reduction of 2R cents a pound in
the butter traff is held responsible
for the influx. During December 499,-
coo pounds of foreign butter reached

looking for good humor, for good

make quick and certain profit. And
the down to date travelling salesman
measures up to the new requirements.
He is often, in his opinion, ham,
pered by his house and his judgment
on extension of credits is not final.
Nor has yet his old prestige
disappeared. His views of men and of
measures are still respected and his
ability to take care of himself in any
argument is matter of proverb. And
he is a loyal booster for the city out
of which he travels. Otter the praises
of rival cities are pressed by custom
ers, sometimes through perversity of
human nature and sometimes merely
to arouse him to defense, but there is
no case on record where he ever con-
ceded superiority to rival town. With

HALF MILLION AWAITS SISTER
STARVING SELF IN VIGIL

estate in Toledo, Ohio, awaits Miss
Nannette Warren, who remained
locked in the room with her dead sis
ter Mary for 20 days and only re-
vealed the frightful mystery when the
door was broken in Friday.
This great inheritance which falls
to her through the death of her sis
ter Mary will never be enjoyed by the
survivor, physicians believe.
/ Yesterday Miss W. 'ren met all
questions as to why she stayed with
her sister, how her sister died;-a the
conditions that had prompted this
! tragic vigil, with stare. The doctors
at the county hospital pronounced her
insan and will file complaint against
her today. rs
The news from Toledo concerning
the family, which is prominent and
wealthy, contains brief record of an
old and celebrated mystery. The faith
err, who owned a buggy and wagon
factory and was noted, in Northern
Ohio as a breeder of fine horses, dis
appeared in 1878, the dispatch states
Detectives searched Toledo and
many other cities for him. Finally a
country wide publicity campaign was
started with the idea of locating him,
but there was never word of or from
him after that. His disappearance was
complete, profound.
Five years later Mrs. Warren
dropped dead from stroke of apo
plexy. She had been Miss Mary Van
Gorton of Berne, Switzerland.
Through the death of Mary the en-
tire property goes to Nannette, the
sole survivor Of the family. The es-
tate includes Warren place in Toledo,
farms on the Maumee river, planta-
tions and beet sugar interests in Cali
fornia and plantations in the south.
The disappearance of the father af-
fected the mind of Mary, then about
IA. The spinster sisters lived in the
family home for % years and Nanette
managed the fortune and looked after
all details of the many properties. 1t
is related that she would not trust a
man with any business responsibility
! A few years ago Mary became vio-
lent and lost the power of speech
/ The sisters came to California two
years ago.
There was supposition Friday
night when Nanette, woman of As,
was discovered seated by the body of
her sister, that they had run out of
money, although they occupied first
class apartments at the Twins hotel,
and had good deal of jewelry.
This idea is dispelled by the Toledo
news bearing upon their excellent f.
nancial condition.
Whether Mary ended her own life
by taking the chloroform which had
been IN bottle found in the room,
Was. mot determined and will not be

Fighting during the early hours was
not decisive. The indications are,
however, that it was all part Of a

The Mystery Remains

Pass Christian, Miss, Jan 2.-Mys-
terry enveloping the visit here of John
Lind, President Wilson's special en-
voy to Mexico, ever since his coming
was announced, condnued today with
the refusal Of all information as to
when or where the president would
see him. Mr.. Lind remained aboard
the scout cruiser Chester early today,
having arrived off ship island, eight
miles below here, last night. The rev
enue cutter Winona was waiting to
transfer Mr. Lind, but I'D to o'clock
no move had been made.
Reason for the secrecy maintained
with regard to every phase Of Mr..
Lind's visit, notwithstanding an
nouncement by the presidents envoy
himself as to his coming, is puzzling
the correspondents here.
