GREELEY STATUE,
DUST-COVERED,
FOUND IN BIC BOX

NEW YORK, Oct. 24-Horace
Greeley. one Of our best known edi-
tors, whose strange disappearance
two years ago mystihed the many
thousands daily passing through
Herald square, was found yesterday,
and while no disrespect is intended
It must be said he was q sorry spec
tacle. Covered with CRIME and dust
his clothes wrinkled and his hat
gone, Il was apparent that Mr.. Gree
ley had not spent the time of his
absence in church.
However, the venerable editor, who
once was a candidate for President
of the United States, and who WELD
ed a pen SO scorching that the OBJ
jects of Its scorn withered and van
ished, is soon to be rehabilitated.
and II is probable that he will be
himself again before election day.
If there was anything in this world
that delighted Horace Greeley 1t was
to be around on and before election
day. In fact, he had been SO numer-
Gus and active on such occasions that
many q Tammany Indian breathed
easier when he took up the sedentary
position in which he was found yes
terday.
Moved to Herald Square.
The vicissitudes of the great editor
since he ceased to take an active in
tsrest in his surroundings have been
such as to discourage any but. an
editor. For many years he stood as
the protecting guardian for a boot
black stand In front of the Tribune
office, his only friend being Rocco
Seratti. who could put q higher pol
ish on footwear than any other shoe
destroyer in Park Row, and who
knew at least a dozen editors by
their FIRST names.
For ten years or more Mr.. Greeley
sat silently looking down upon Roc
co.'s customers and upon the streams
of people passing in and out of Mas
sau street. He formed the southerly
wall for Rocco's stand, and when the
bureau. of sidewalk encumbrances
came along and said Mr.. Greeley
would have to move on, Rocco raised
an awful fuss about Il. Fifty feet
in front OF where Mr.. Greeley had
stood. or sat. all those years was
BENJAMIN Franklin, well-known
Philadelphia publisher. There was
some talk OF chasing Mr.. Franklin
away from there and letting Mr.. Gree
ley loiter in his place. II was argued
that Mr.. Franklin at hest was an out
slider, and that he should go back TO
Philadelphia, while for Mr.. Greeley IL
was said he should have a place under
the shadow Of the building housing
the newspaper which he edited.

ELEP HANTS GET
BOSTON BATH

A few days ago | had long letter
and also paper from an old friend
living in Boston telling of the treat
the Rigling show gave to the public
one morning during their stay in that
city. They took the twenty huge ele-
plants to prom nent place in Bos-
ton. where the fire.len turned the hose
on the entire herd and gave them a
much needed bath, and before the
bathing took place each Of the huge
beasts in turn walked up in front Of
the hose and opened it's mouth, and
each was given it's fill of water from
the hose. And finally several leads
Of hose were turned on the beasts
and dozen or more men scrubbed
them for more than an hour, much to
the enjoyment of thousands of people
who had gathered to take in the free
shoe, and it is fair to say that this
was an advertisement for the Ring
lings we'll worth the money.-D. w.
Watt in GAINESVILLE Gazette.

MADISON MAN
FROM EUROPE

"When the great war ends-and
they do not look for a speedy termi-
nation of ostilities-Germany and
the German people believe no import
ant victories will have been gained by
any of the warning nations. They
look for a compromise between all the
countries concerned at the final set
tlement"
Thus George Walker, former resi-
dent of Madison and opera singer OF
international fame, visiting in that
city. summarized the feeling OF the
German people on the outcome OF the
war. His knowledge of conditions IN
Germany comes from twelve years al
most continuous residence there. He
has sung in $50 German cities, most
of them since the war began. He ar
rived in New York few days ago,
via Christiania.
Germany" he said, "has better
control of food and less trouble over
such matters than the United States.
Prices on most staples are much low
er there than here. Each week the
government sets food prices and there
are very few cases of suffering from
want of food"
Business in Germany he character
lied as active.
1T is noticeable in civic affairs, y
he said, that men are comparatively
scarce and women are taking their
places in many occupations. The alb
sence Of men has not necessitated
the slightest cessation Of business or
industry. Street cars are operated by
women and they are employed in
many new capacities on the railroads.
