"SUB ROSA" IMPLIES SECRECY
Term Had Its Origin Long Ago in q
Plot Which Involved Existence
of Sparta.

The origin of the phrase sub rosa,
under the rose" implies secrecy, and
had its origin in the year AIT b. c., at
which time Pausanias, the commander
of the confederate fleet of the Spar
tans and Athenians, was engaged In
intrigues with Xerxes for the subju-
CATION of Greece to the Persian rule,
and for the hand of the mOnarchs
daughter in marriage. The negOtia-
tons were carried on in a building
attached to the temple of Minerva,
called the Brazen house, the roof of
which was a garden forming a bower
of roses; so that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secrecy.
was literally matured under the roses.
Pausanias, however, was betrayed by
one of his emissarieS, who, by pre-
concerted plan with the Overseers. and
counselors of state, five in number
gave them a secret opportunity to
hear from the lips of Pausanias the
acknowledgment of his treason. TIC
escape arrest, he fled to the temple
of Minerva, and as the sanctity of the
place forbade intrusion, the people
walled up the edifice so that he nigh

Grand Old Man" Deluged
With Friends Congratulations
and FIoUers

sHTHE grand old man of German
l. town" Henry b. Bruner. received
congratulations today on his ninety
seventh birthday anniversary.
He was deluged by letters, post
cards and flowers that poured into
his home, 81 East Price street, from
friends and admirers.
No wonder for everybody in German
town knows it's youngest old man" and
loves him
Mr.. Bruner has retained a keen mind
and a strong body, and as he nears the
century mark he stands erect. His
memory has not failed, and he is full
of "reminiscences of the Civil War and
before
Mr.. Bruner was born in Roxborough
in 1922 and is the son of Benjamin
George Bruner and Sarah Sutton, who
was born in Hartford County, Md.
He has lived all his life in German
town except for a very few years in
Roxborough, and was educated in pri-
vate' schools. for, as he says, the public
schools didn't amount to much in those
days
He learned the trade of carpentry and
was a builder and contractor uf.Ml 1870.
when his health forced him into outdoor
work.
Then he kept a livery stable under the
partnership of Bruner & George, which
was well known in Germantown for
many years. In fact. the business con-
tinued until seven years ago, when, on
the death Of his nephew, who was his
partner, Mr.. Bruner retired. Up to the
time when automobiles displaced the
horse Mr.. Bruner could often be seen
driving a pair of spirited horses.
His recollections go back to the be-
ginnings of the old Germantown Rail-
road, which was built about 1882, and on
which Mr. Bruner was one of the first
passengers.
In the Civil War he was horse in
