NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-"How long

After the usual polite and more Or

state of his health and what sort
of a trip he had, judging from the
writer's personal experience and OBJ

is the first serious question fired
at every American returning from
Europe by everyone he meets.

and in order to guide him in form
ing an opinion, the writer has ask

Mr.. Vernon and both horses were

The barn contained large quantity
Of hay and baled straw and farm
tools. These were partially insured.
The building was entirely consumed.
During the same storm DR.. A. D.

and followed it through to the cellar
but, like the Welker home, no dam
