DR W 6EWABD

RW SEWARD
WEBB who
with his wife
and son liad to leap
from his burning
automobile in New
York recently can
well afford to burn
up a big touring
car now and then
and never feel the
loss Mrs Webb
was Miss Lila Van
derbilt daughter of
William H Yander
bilt Dr Webb is
a successful speculator in and out of
Wall street and has money and auto
mobiles to burn
That Dr Webb is a born speculator
is indicated by a little story told of
him Some years ago his daughter
conceived the idea of proving her busi
ness ability She paid 20 for a brood
sow and made arrangements for hav
ing the animal looked after on Dr
Webbs magnificent country estate of
H000 acres in Vermont The sow waxed
fat and multiplied In three year Miss
Webbs proliis had grown into hun
dreds of dollars The fourth year the
litter sold for 700 Dr Webb con
cluded to go into the pig line himself
so he bought his d uighter out and es
tablished one of the biggest and best
appointed piggeries in the country
Some years ago Dr Webb bought a
tract of country in the Adirondacks
and made it into a splendid hunting
camp and preserve There was a big
lake on the land called Smiths lake
The new owner rechristened it Iakr
Lila after his wife A man with mon
ey enough to buy a lake and change its
name thus altering the map of a coun
ty inay be considered fairly well to do
Dr Giuseppe Tetacci physician to
Tope Pius IX is a highly important
dignitary in the papal household
While his official salary is only i0 a
month there are certain compensa
tions in the way of honors which make
the post one greatly to be desired by
physicians The man who looks after
the physical welfare
of the spiritual fa
ther of so large a
portion of human
ity is a person of
distinction
Dr Petacci like
his predecessors in
this oflice was cho
sen because of his
demonstrated skill
and ability in his
profession He suc
ceeded the late Dr
Giuseppe Lapponi
who died shortly
after the new pope
entered the Vatican
nit oiDSEprE
PETACCI
Dr Lapponi be-
came famous as the physician of Pope
Leo XIII during the latter years of
the aged pontics life
The popes physician wears a uni
form prescribed by the regulations of
the papal residence It may seem odd
to an American that one who corre
sponds to family doctor should go
about the premises with a sword dan
gling at his heels but it does not look
odd in the Vatican where practically
everybody wears some sort of uniform
Representative John A Keliher of
Massachusetts tells of a teacher in his
district who read The Old Oaken
Bucket and then told the little ones
to make three drawings that would il
lustrate what they had heard One of
the little chaps made a circle three
rude pails and some dots
What Is the circle Johnny the
teacher asked
Thats the well
And what are the three pails
One is the old oaken bucket one Ls
the iron bound bucket and one is the
moss grown bucket that hung in the
well
And what are the dots
Those said Johnny are the loved
spots which my infancy knew
Joseph W Folk governor of Mis

Dr W Seward Webbs Odd
Experience Allan Ryan
Who Will Take His Fathers
Place Sulzers Marriage
that was a decided chestnut When
the governor and his friend were in the
private ollice the friend remarked
Say that was a fearfully old one
you got off just now
I know it was the reply
Then why did you do It the puz
zled friend asked
Did you notice which of those fel
lows laughed Well they are the ones
who have favors to ask
Congressman William Sulzer of New
York who recently surprised his
friends by getting married was at first
reported to have eloped with his bride
Miss Rodclhehn of Philadelphia It
was also said that the legislator fell
in love with her while she was nursing
him through an illness in a hospital
The congressman corrected these re
ports saying
I met her in a hospital but my ouly
ailment at that time was a case of love
at first sight which I hardly believe
she will be able to cure in our lifetime
There was no elope
ment but we wish
ed to fool the peo
ple who had ex
pected that we
would have a big
wedding and I
guess we did it
Another reason
for our marriage at
Atlantic City was
my desire to carry
out a promise made
long ago to the
WILLIAM SCLZElt
Rev Herbert Gessner to allow him to
marry me should I ever wed We wore
boys together in Elizabeth N 1 and
later while we were classmates at Co
lumbia I promised to let him marry
me when I had picked out a wife He
acknowledges that he had about given
up hope of ever fastening me with the
shackles of matrimony when myself
and my intended bride descended upon
him rd asked to have the knot tied
LTarry K Thaw is always in great de
mand as an after dinner speaker and is
noted for his stories One day the
lawyer said recently I misbehaved
at the table and my father told me to
go upstairs I knew that meant he
would be around after awhile with a
paddle So I got busy as soon as I
reached the bedroom
When he came up he dumfounded
me by saying briefly Take off your
pants I began to whimper I dont
want to said I He inspected me nar
rowly Strikes me you look rather
stout said he
Executing a flank movement he
caught me over his knee and stripped
down my trousers Under the first pair
he found another Under the second
pair he found another Under the
third pair he found another When he
got to the fourth pair he stopped and
said gravely
How many pairs of pants did you
put on
I dunno I put on all of mine and
all of Jims said I weakly
He burst out laughing and from
that day on I never got a licking But
he used to talk to me when I was bad
and it wasnt long before I would have
taken half a dozen lickings thankfully
rather than one of those grave earnest
lectures that made me feel ashamed
of myself for hours and hours after
ward

CONNECTICUTS OWN SALOON
Two Centuries Ago It Ran an Inn Ac
quired Under Foreclosure
Hartford Conn In connection with
the recent temperance agitation it la
recalled that Connecticut once ran a
saloon and that the Connecticut legis
lators moved into the saloon to trans
act their business
On May 17 1G60 one Jeremiah
Adams a member of the flock of Rev
Thomas Hooker who migrated from
Cambridge Mass to settle this town
secured a monopoly of the retail
liquor business for this village At
a session of the Connecticut law
makers held In Hartford on March 1
16G1 Adams obtained a license to con
duct an inn the permit to be held bv
Adams and his heirs or successors as
long as they conducted the place to
ye good liking and approbation of ye
GenI Court
But travelers were few and the
first liquor enterprise in the capital
was not a success for on January 14
1C90 Adams property went into the
hands of a receiver and the colony
took possession on foreclosure pro
ceedings The Connecticut lawmakers
then had the saloon on their hands
Under their management the tavern
was named the Bunch of Grapes and
for a number of years was the best
known public house between New
York and Boston
The general court of Connecticut set
aside a room in the upper part of the
building for a legislative hall and
meetings were held there For four
years the colony of Connecticut pros
pered in the saloon business and
tnen sold out to Zachariah Sanford
Adams grandson
It was during the time that he ran
the hostelry that Capt Joseph Wads
worth stole the charter from Sir Ed
mund Andros and hid it in the Char
