President Wilson Sends
Rare, Expensive Orchids

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-All
Washington is smiling with the
president, for all Washington is
like all the rest of the world, and
loves lover.
And no boy in the flush of his
first love Is happier and more
earnest in his love-making than
is the man described many times
as a cold-blooded individual who
had in some way made a great
brain supply the place 70 a warm
heart.
As everyone knows, Pres
ident Wilson Is Of Scotch an
cestry. He attributes to that
his hard-headedness, his
powers of analysis and his
consciousness, but he al

makeup and-when he lets 1t
this Irish blood OCCASION
ally asserts itself.
He told a friend once in q
burst Of confidence, II find
there Is something In me
which at times relieves my
Scotch conscience and gives
me moments of delightful ir-
responsibility"
1t is this that perhaps makes
the president an ideal lover-the
kind you read about in the
Charles Lever novels.

day received word of the conviction at
Coudersport of Ansel Hubbard, w. II.
Hubbard and Steve Wakely on a
charge of conspiracy to defraud insur-
ance companies and believes that he
has rounded up a gang of fire bugs in

convicted the accused
The three were arrested on a charge
of having fired Hubbard's hotel at
Gould, Potter county, in December,
before Judge Prather at Coudersport
and acquitted, the cases against the
others being mol pressed. Marshal
Baldwin kept on the trail and in June
had the three arrested again. Their
cases were continued from court to
court and finally the marshal forced e
trial last week. Charles Omsby,
brother-in-law of w. H. Hubbard,
was the man supposed to know all
about it and Leddon. who Is well
known to Harrisburgers, was put on
his track. Leddon landed him in New
York State, took him to Buffalo and
then on some trips and finally got him
into Mexican county where he served
a subpoena on him and took him to
Coudersport where he was kept con-
cealed until the trial. His TESTIMONY
of Potter county is sitting and taking
notice of the clever manner in which
the State won the case.
