on Anderson street was also put out,

lumber and covered with gunny sack,
saturated with oil, and as a good
breeze was blowing might have caus-
ed a serious fire in the business sec

Courts Hold Tomato
to Be a Vegetable

Technically, the tomato is classed
by botanists as berry. In the strict
ly scientific sense a berry is simple
fruit In which the entire pericarp or
edible portion is fieshy except the
outer skin. According to this classifi
cation, tomatoes, grapes, currants and
bananas are all berries. All berries
are fruits; that is, the berry is only a
species Of the larger division of plants
called fruits. But popularity there Is
much confusion as to whether tOma
toes should be called vegetables OF
fruits. The fact is there Is no we'll
drawn distinction between fruits and
vegetables in the popular sense Of the
terms. However, courts In this coun.
try have held that all those plants,
like potatoes cabbage, carrots, peas,
celery, lettuce and tomatoes, which
are eaten, whether cooked or raw,
during the principal part of meal
are to be regarded as vegetables,
while those used only for dessert are
fruits. But this comes q long way
from the difficulty.

Story of Stolen Kiss
Of Revolutionary Days

From Mount Holly, N. j., comes
story of kiss Snatched from Stephen
Girard's pretty young wife by Col.
Walter Stewart of the American army,
which is a cherished legend of that
section and for which there is cOnsid-
cradle historic foundation. 1t is gen.
orally known that upon the approach
of the British army to Philadelphia In
1777, Stephen Glrard, who was in busi-
ness there and who later became one
of the leading flnanciers of that city,
moved to Mount Holly and purchased
small farm. Here he and his wife
lived and kept store for two years.
The story of the stolen kiss is told
in Stephen Simpsons biography of
Stephen Girard, published in 1882.
During GIrard's residence at Mount
Holly, the biographer states, the
American army encamped in the
neighborhood, ana Girard's store af-
forded many moments of hilarity to
the soldiers. One afternoon Colonel
Stewart and fellow officer visited
and to see Girards pretty wife. Colo
mel Stewart could not resist the temp
tatiOn to snatch a kiss from Mrs.
Girard while her husband had his
back turned. The lady Immediately
told her husband who forced the colo
mel to apologize. 1t is said that the
occurrence caused lot of disturbance
al the time.
For many years the story was be-
lieved to have originated in the au-
thor's Imagination for 1t was known
that he had personal grudge against
Girard, but the discovery that Walter
Stewart was colonel In the Cont
mental army and that he spent six
days in Mount Holly during Girard's
residence there gave the story some

Influenza Old Complaint

Influenza has been known almost as
long as man has been known. The
word itself Is derived from the ancient
astrologers, who believed 1t to be
caused by the Influence" of the stars.
The disease has been unmistakeably
traced back to 1880. 1t was then preva-
lent In eastern Germany, and was
known, curiously enough, as sleeping
sickness. 1t appeared again in the
Eighteenth century, when epldemics
of 1t were frequent and prolonged in
most European countries. Among the
famous people of long ago. who suf.
fered from it were Sir Isaac Newton,
Goethe and Schiller. The great phil
osopher Kant was attacked by it, and
he believed it was caused by noxious
insects brought to western Europe as
a result of trade with Russia.

Campaign Paper Made
No Money for Greeley

In $780,, when Gen. William Henry
Harrison was nominated for the pres
idency against Martin Van Buren,,
Horace Greeley started a little cam
paign paper in New York city, which
he called the Log Cabin, which is said
to have been incomparably the most
spirited thing of the kind ever printed
In the United States, says the Detroit
News. 1t had a circulation of I'M
precedented extent, beginning with
$4,000 and rising week after week
until ii reached 10000.
The price, however, was so low that
its great sale proved rather an en-
barrassment than benefit to the pro-
prietors and when the campaign ended
the firm of Horace Greeley & Co. was
rather more In debt than it was when
the first number of the Log Cabin was
published. The last number of the
Log Cabin announced the Forthcoming
Tribune, price l cent, which was a
short time ago consolidated with the
New York Herald.
Five thousand copies of the first
number of the Tribune were printed,
and Greeley found it difficult to give
them away. He began with a sub
scription list of 600. But the little pa
per soon caught public attention and
began its fourth week with 5000 paid
subscribers.

St. Peters Chair

Since the Eighth century, the fes-
tival of st. Peters chair has been
celebrated annually at St Peters at
Rome, with great pomp solemnity
The chair, old, ugly and worn, or
which st. Peter is said to have been
pontificated, is enshrined by magni1.
cent throne, supported by four gigantic
figures, and mounted upon a tribune
decorated by Michelangelo. The
throne stands in the great nave, be-
hind the altar Of st. Peters. The
venetians once claimed to possess the
Chair Of st. Peter, but 1t was discov-
cred about century ago that this sup
posedly sacred article bore the inscrip-
ton: "There Is but one God and
Mahomet Is His Prophet" 1t is sup
posed that this chair was brought
from the East by the Crusaders.
