HORACE GEEELEY'8 DROtHER

Nathan DAnes Greley , Horce Greeley's
brother , who died at the old Greeley home-
sie ail , near Corry , I'a" , on Monday , was one
ot the most eccentric ot men , " Mid S. C.
Wiiams or that city to the New York Sun.
"Ils farm In Wayne township was one at the
fin est In western Pennsylvania , For many
year he lived alone there , and was simply ]
con tent ! to make a living on it. I used to like
to go out to hIs place and hear him talk. I
saw him last five years ogo. lie 109 then 78
years thl , and he was as hale and hearty as
he hall ever bcen. lie attributed his excellent ,
Ilh'slcal and mental condition to habitual
economy In the use ot water , Doth as I beverage -
era , , ge and for lavatory purposcs.
" 'Alhough I am a prohibitionist , ' ho once
8 hi to me , ' 1 believe that to much water ,
eiher taken Internally cr used externally , Is I
a9 bad as too mueh rUl , nut there I only
one excuse for a man to gel drunk , ' he went
on , 'The only time that I man Is , excusable ,
for getting drunll , and he Is a tool ot he ,
ui cn't do It then , 13 when he has a felon
on his fInger. To gel geed and drunk Is the I
quickest way In the world to cure a telon
I have h tried I , and I know what I am talking
ab out. The only time I ever tasted lquor In
my hire was when I hal a felon on my finger .
I hadn't had a wink at sleell for three nights ,
Some one saId that I good drunk would , cure :
m e. I tholrht I would try it. I told my
daughter what I Intended 10lng , and then ,
went to Corry and tilled up with the kind at
stuf they melt In Corry. After leading my-
selt I had 'em fill me a quart battle or the
be3 they had , and took that and the load I I
ha to my daughter's I didn't ] lke the
whisky , but the prescriptIon clel for a good
dunk , and ( I got I , For a whIle , as I tound
out afterward , I made things lively at my
daughter'a house , carrying on after the mOlt
approved manner or conlrmell old topers.
Then I sank Into oblivion , anti for a time It
tme
was a question whether I would cOle out
oC I again hut I ( lId , and , although the
pln anti swelng had gone from my finger
to my head , the change wa3 a great relief ,
and I was till right In a day or two , relct my
telon troubled inc no more. I was an heroic
remedy , but I I ever get another felon Iii
go off on my second drunk , I don't care If
I
I'm as old as a century '
"One summer day I thought I would drive
oul anti have a chat with old Darnes , as
ever'body called him-he coiled himself the
od : i rayheallell crank-and when I got to the
lonely farm hous I saw a pair at bIg , bare I
teel sticking out or the open front door. I got I
out of the wagon and tound that the feet
belonged to Barnes Greeley , nnll thaI the rest
of the easy-going old farmers person was
stretched emu the bare floor. A newspaper
covercll his face , presumably to keep off the
fli es. and I sonorous snore made it rattle ,
Indicatng that the independent brother at
the great Horace was very much asleep.
Chickens were pecking about on the floor or
the room , ali several contented pigs were
gruntng and rooting about the threshold.
I dldn'l have the heart to disturb the old
ge ntleman's slumbers and went back home.
One at Bares Greel y's weaknesses was his
love for hogs and chickens. They roamed
nt will anywhere about the premises nol
exceptng the best room In the old man's
house ,
"ThIs eccentric brother at the Tribune's
under used to tel many funny thIngs about
H orace. When the hatter had made himself
all his paper famous he sent for Dares to
como to New York. Dares did so , and
10mce gave him a place or some kind In
the Trlbu"no office , but he didn't remain long
" 'I couldn't fill any place I would accept '
the 01d farmer delghted In saying 'and
wouldn'l accept any place I could fill. So I
came back home. Id rather be a king
among hogs than to b a hog among kings. '
"In his young days flames Greeley was
a great hunter and fsherman , le was rand
or telling amusing storIes or Horace's attempts -
tempts to hunt and fish on his occasional
visits to the old Pennsylvania homestead.
" 'If deer had run by Horace In droves , '
Dares would say , 'he couldn't have shot one.
I don't believe he'd have woke up to the ,
situaton until the deer had been gone an
hour or two. As for catching fish , he never
got even as much as a bite In a trout stream ,
whie I would be fishing right by his sIde ,
and puling 'em out by . the dozen. . ' "

A AISTANA ! DiVORCE SUIT.

( Cp'rlhl , U9f. by W. I. AItn , )
"You saw that ali ( chap standing on the
rear platform ot the express when she went
through here this morning ? " said the JerIcho
stoton ma ter. " ] e's the Athensvle Dap
tst ( preacher , anti he's on his way to Chicago
to give hIs testimony In the great divorce
suit What I never toll you about any dl-
"orce suit ? Wei you surprise me0 for that
there divorce suit Is just the biggest thing
of the kind we have ever had In this section
or the country.
"That Daptst preacher hasn't anything to
do with Il except to swear he married the
plalntl and the detenuiant. There's nothing
cro eked about Ie , ' . Mr. Humphreys. lie's
as good as they make 'em , though I say t
m'Eelt , anti I don't think much ot Daptsts
as a general thing , having been brought up
n Methodist , though I resigned from them
when I was male I conductor , which Is a
berth that I man cau't do nnythlng with
unless he ean swear I blue ] streak when time
occasion arises.
"This hYEr Preacher took charge ot the
Alhensvle Baptist church I mater or five
yeari ago , and being I wonderful man for
managing m a church and making It attractive
to the general public , II \'nsn't long before
ho had the largest congregation or any
preacher In the placs ] . The Presbyterian
minister tel that he had to do something
to maintain his position , so he preached aries
series ot sermons on baptsm , Proving , as ho
thought , that sprinkling was the only authorIzed -
Ized way at baptism , and that Immersion was
all I mlslal ( In one at his sermons he
mnde a pretty good point by showing that
on one occasion John the Daptst baptized
so many people In the course at a day that
he must have averaged three to the mmmlnumte
This , time preacher calmed ] , would have been
Impossible I 1 he hat done I In any other
way than by spriumkling . Mr. Ihllllhreys
only laughed wlterm they told hIm abut this
sermon , and said , 'Just walt until we have
our regular spring baptizing s0son. So the
next spring , when there were about forty
p epic , young and oIl , waiting to Join time
Baptsts , Mr. lumpllreys ? , he takes the whole
lot down to the creek and Immerses every
one or them In less than ten minutes , break-
Ing the record and bmtng John the Dap-
tis t's best ( line. This made him more popular
tJln ever , and that year the people built
him I new church twice as big as the ( old
on e. I stands on the hill about a mile out
or Athens\le , for when It wns built It was
cal'lated that the town would grow In that
directon , which somehow II hasn't done.
"I tell this just to show what an enterprIsing -
terprIsing man the parson was. lie Insisted
on having the ( tallest steeple to his new
ehurch that could be round anywhere In
Montanl territory , and b'gosh ho got it.
People used tn como from untIes away to
cUmb up In that steeple and see the vIew.
There wasn't any view to speak at , the coun-
tr y being too hiy In these parts to have
much scenery , but for all that people were ,
anxious to say that they had been to time tall :
or the steeple.
"There was an old maId In Mr. Hum-
phreys' congregation who was more deter-
mlnw to get married than any woman you
over saw. Sue was one or those thin , persevering -
severing looking women , and a
mighty dangerous sort they are.
11ss Payson , which was the lady's
name , was bound to marry a young
man by the name or lalsey , who had never
done her any harm , and was about as sensl-
blo and wel behaved chap as there was In all
A timensville. or course he dldn'l have the
last Idea or marrying the woman , but he
was one or those good tempered chaps that
are always afraid to say no when I woman
nslm them to do anything. Good temper Is
the ruin or lots or folks. It's
l\pt me down , I know that If
Id been one of those crusty , rampageous -
pageous fellows that never does I kind acton
Ir ho can help It , I should have been super-
Intendent or this road Instead of being only
a staten master at one of the smallest sta-
sl-
teas t In the territory. Never you be too good
tempered. or the two , It ruins more men
t han whisky.
"Ono day Miss Payson she gets young
Hnlsey to take her up In the steeple of the
fl aptist church You see visitors wcro al-
ways going up that steeple between the hours
of 10 and 5 , durIng which the sexton staId
at the church to attend to things , and see '
hat everybody conducted themselves as they
should. At 5 o'clock he locked up the door
that led to the steeple and then he locked
up the church door and went home for the I
night.
"Miss Payson and her young man went up ,
the steeple about 3 o'clock In the afternoon , ,
but she said she enjoyed It so much that
Halsey WI prevailed upon to stay
there with her I good deal
later h than ho had Intendell to stay.
She kept him pointing out aU the houses In
town , and every hill and valley In the whole
neighborhood , and when she finally asked
him to look at hIs watch and /naly tel her the
tme , she was , as she pretended , dreadfully
Ilarmed to find that It was hal pas dreadtuly .
sey r'an dw the stairs and round that the
door was locked and nobody was within hear-
i ng. . The sexton had forgotel that there was
aay one In the steeple and had locked up and
gene home at 5 o'clock as usual. Hasey ]
came back and told Miss Payson , who burst
Into i tears and saId her reputation was
ruIned , Shb and Hllsey would have to
spend the night In the steeple unless ho was
wUlng to jump out or the wIndow anti break
hIs neck , and she would rather
woull die I thou-
sand tunes than let him do tbat
"Halsey was considerably scared hImself ,
for he sathnt unless ho could Invent some
way or getting Miss Payson out or that
stople he would have to marry her whether
he l wanted to or not He though the matter
over for I while , Miss Payson weeping her
level l best , and resting her head In I forgetful
sarI at way on his shoulder. Finally a
right Idea struck hIm. There was the I
b ell rope , which was I stout one-Inch ma-
n hlla . Why shouldn'l ho
nia. lower Miss Pa"son
to t the ground with I , and then slide down
It i himself ? slde
"He explained ] his plan to the lady , but she
didn't seem to like it. She saId she was
sure the rope would break , or that he would
drop I , or that she would be killed In some
sort at way , Ir the experiment was tl9ed .
' Nd' ! says she , 'I will remaIn here and trust

"Halsey wouldn't hear
to her objections ,
and argued with her a long time . It
wasn'l untl he accldentnly mnentionoti I
the steeple was chock full at mice , and rats ,
anti bats , and such
ali , thaI Miss Plyson con-
sented to try the .
rope. Even ( lien she was
a m mighty dissatisfied woman and came very
lelr i resolving thaI she wouIl take the rIsk
of the wild animals , rather than lose such ii
first cass ] chance for capturing I eslrable -
hiusbammtl . lalsey rIgged up a sort at seat
for Ihe womnn , so that she could sit Iii the
bIght or the rope \\'lh \ lashings around her
here amid there , and couldn't fail out If site
wanted to . Then he got her to stand on
the ' window ledge , and lowered away Miss
Payson shrieked I good deal at fIrst , and

So he made the end or the rope fast to a

She begged him to draw her up again and

"now DID YOU COME UP THERE ? "
" 'How al ear h 'diul you come up there ,
ma'am t ? ' asked the ( minister , 'and whal are
you toiling the bell forV'
"Miss Pa'son expJhled what was the mat-
( or. She said that she nnt Mr. Halsey had
come to the church Ihhe afternoon , cal'-
intin' tend the parsol there , and to get
married ; that nol Indlng hIm they had gone
Into the steeple to' see -the view , and had
accidentally been locked 4tn. She was sure
that she couldn't live many minutes longer ,
she felt so weak , and she hoped Mr. lumph-
reys would marry iiert ' toMr. ) Halsey without
another minute's delay , her
a3ud so save repu-
taton even Ir It didn't aJd her life.
"The minister wanted to send for help ,
and got her sao on the sold grould before
marrying her , but sme sad \ tiit she must be
married before , she _ lti dare to race any
ot her townsmen. Sudm she said were-also
dear Mr. Halsey's vIews and I Mr. Hum-
phreys had the reel gs or n lan and a
Christian , let alone a Baptist minister , he
would go ahead with the marriage service
"Mr. Humphreys finally consented , ana
called out to Halsey to led when he should
see the minIster wave his right arm , that
being the only way tn which Halsey could
make the responses , seeIng as his voice
didn't fairly reach to the groul1 Having
arrange this satisfactorily , as he thought ,
Mm- Humphreys went ahead , and In about
two mInutes he had Miss Payson married to
Mr. Halsey Just then the sexton came up
with keys , and knowing where he could lay
hIs hanll emi n length of rope he look I up
Into the steeple with hIm , and bent It qn the
bell rope. Then lie and Mr Halsey lowered
Miss Payson to the ground and came down
the stairs together.

" 'You'U find your wife waiting for you In

Halsey. 'She's , naturally a little excited ,
and , , . she's resting al n fiat tonmhstone. '
" .I you meal 11 s Payson , ' says lalsey.
'I can't understand why you , cal her my

,
" 'I cal her your wIre , ' says the minister ,
'because I have just marrlNl you two , and I
don't allow no mal to question time binding
