LOOKING BACK FROM So
ID. ID. HOLDRIDGE TALKS ON THE
DAYS HE LIVED AND THE
THINGS HE SAW.

Judge ID. ID. Holdridge passed hi
SD milestone yesterday, and AYERS
that he is just in the prime of life.
Whether he celebrated the event or
not he does not say, but does indicate
that those anniversaries of his ad-
vent into this life pass very rapidly
and crowd on each other closely
Mrs. Holdridge is only three months
younger than is Mr.. Holdridge, and
the couple will celebrate so years Of
married life
In talking this morning with a
Daily Leader reporter, Mr.. Holdridge
recalled many incidents which TO
most of us would be ancient history.
At the time of his marriage they
were presented a kerosene lamp. the
first one in that whole community Of
central New York state. and people
came miles during the following
months to view this new wonder of
turning night into day. He recalls
the wonders of the first magnetic
telegraph, and how it was exhibited
through the country in public schools
much as a few years ago the phono-
graph and movie machines were
shown Mr.. Holdridge a Y that in
their old country school two young
men gave an exhibition of the instru-
ments. They sat in opposite corners
of the room and operated the keys.
The people were skeptical, and would
whisper to an operator to send some
thing not known to the other. Many
remained unconvinced. Next morn
ing their mail contained the New
York Tribune's account of the first
Atlantic cable laid by Cyrus w. Field.
Mr.. Holdridge's father died when
the boy was Z years of age. He
lived with his uncle. The uncle op-
Grated a stage line, in relays from
Syracuse west. He sold out just be-
fore the building of what Is now the
New York Central, and concluded
that he got from under just in time.
Mrs. Holdridge taught school in
her youth, and received the munifi-
cent wage of 81 a week, and board
ed round" Some idea of the spend
thrift tendency of those times may be
gathered from the fact that at the
end of Is weeks she came home
with SIG.
Their memory runs back to when
the cradle and the scythe were the
harvesting tools. To when the fire
place and Dutch oven were the house
hold equipment Of cooking and heat.
The OK was the draft animal and the
horse the means of transportation.
Z The tallow dips served to dispel the

me this morning he would not sow a
