PRESIDENTIAL YEAR FORAGERS.
Garfield’s Neighbors Salted His Orchard
{in 1880 With Apples.
“The experience of the‘good citi-
zens of Canton, 0., and of Major Mc-
Kinley in this campaign remind me
very much of a similar experience in
the little village of Mentor in 1880
When General Garfield was the Repub-
lican candidatefor the Presidency,”
said a lady after reading the story of
the daily pilgrimages to the home of
Major McKinley. “I was a near
neighbor of the *Garfields the year
the General ran for President, and I
saw all the demonstrations attendant
on the the visits of delegations to their
home and all the devastation wrunght
by the bands of relic hunters of which
the delegations were mostly composed.
The two railroads which pass through
Mentor cut the Garfield farm. Tem-
porary stations were built on the farm
for the accommodation of pilgrims.
Day after day the train would drop'
off hundreds and frequently thousands
of curious persons who were bound to
see the candidate. It was not long be.
fore the little path from the railroad
stations became a broad thoroughfare
entirely denuded of vegetation. The
relic hunters began their work of
stealing the flowers and plants from
the flower beds. When these were all
gone the trees and shrubbery were at-
tacked for souvenirs. Then a raid was
made on the cornfield. First to go
was the sweet corn, whiCh the Gen-
eral had hoped to have for table use.
Then followed the common field va-
riety as it,matured. Sticks and stones
were carried away, and pieces of the
fences and the buildings even were
taken. One of the most popular relics
with visitors was an apple from the
Garfield orchard. Apples were very
plentiful that year, and General Gar-
field had an orchard of trees well in-
den with fruit. Every apple he had
was carried off by his visitors, and I
venture to say that there are in the
land, kept as precious mementoes of
that campaign, thousands upon thous-
ands of dried and withered apples
stuck full of cloves to preserve them.
The owners of these relics do not
know that most of them did not grow
in the Garfield place. The neighbors
of the General had to come to his res-
cue from this invading army of petty
thieves, and they found a way to help
him when they learned that the visi-
tors had turned their attention to the
orchard} Every night the neighbors
would drive around to the General's
orchard and dump wagon load on wa-
gon load of apples beneath his trees. It
did not seem to matter to the relic
hunters that there was a dozen differ-
ent varieties of apples under one tree.
and that none of them was the sort
the tree produced; they grabbed at
the chance to get an apple and take
it away as a reminder of the visit. By
‘salting’ the Garfield place with relics
the General’s neighbors and friends
think they prevented his house from
being carried away piecemeal.”——New
York Sun. .
WON WITH A GARTER.
A Young Actress Who Knows the Art of
“fearing “ the Colors.”
A young actress by the name of
Lillian Green has recently married
Mr. Charles Flamen Adee, who is a
young man of social prominence, a
graduate of Yale and belongs to the
best club‘s in New York, where he re-
sides and is also a member of the Sev-
cnth regiment of that city. Last sum-
mer Lillian sprang into fame by means
of a garter. It was an elaborate af-
fair, showing the colors of one of the
rcgiment’s crack companies. The night
she appeared on the stage wearing it,
she was cheered to the echo by some of
the rcgimcnt's boys who were present,
when with a whirl of her dainty petti-
coats their colors came into view.
Then the story leaked out that Miss
Green for she had not yet changed her
name, was friendly with one of them,
whom she called “Jack,” and who
was away in Europe, and that the
now famous ribbon had been given
to her by another of the same com-
pany namcr “Charlie.”
Ithn “Jack” returned from his
travels he was not a bit pleased, and
threatened. so they say, all sorts of
punishment to the person who had
trifled with the colors of his corps.
“Trifled!” exclaimed the lady, in-
dignantly. She at once gave him up
and encouraged “Charlie’s” rcdoubled
attentions.
Her engagement to “Charlie” was
soon announced, and on its heelsqcame
the rumor that they were married. This
she admitted and then denied. Her
mother did the same, hilt now ac-
knowledges the fact that her daugh-
ter is Mrs. Adee.
Local Love Signs.
In Kansas they say a young fellow
is sweet on a girl when he helps her
to pen the pigs. If a Kentucky maid-
en steals the little silk bow from the
lining of a young man’s hat and wears
it in her shoe she expects him to pro-
pose within a month. In Maine the
signs are favorable when a young
man asks for a steady horse that will
jolt along with the lines thrown about
the Whip. In Texas that absent-mind-
edness which denotes love is attribut-
ed to a young man who forgets his
revolver when he goes ton dance. In
Lower California the ardent inhabi-
tant begs a wooden ,gshoe from his
sweetheart to keep his tobacco in.

. ... ‘ Horse vs. -Wheel.
Some time during the summer of
1895 a number of gentlemen who are
given to taking. comprehensive views
of situations of. all sorts, got into con-
versation about the future of the
wheel. One' of them declared that
horses would be at a discount, that
the wheel would supersede the long-
time four-footed friend of man, and
that horseficsh would be so cheap that
even beggars might ride. "
'It is a curious fact that within the
last few months horses have steadily
increased in value. A really good
driving horse commands a fair price,
and handsome ones are more expen-
sive than ever before. People who
raise horses need have but little fear
of their going out of use, or that good
ones will become absurdly cheap. In-
deed, it is predicted that within the
next few years prices will advance
materially, especially for carriage
horses‘ and those for fine driving.
There is and there will be but little
market for cheap horses, for the rea-
son that there' are always broken-down
animals from good stables, fast horses
that have been injured and high-bred
ones that have been spoiled by care-
lessness or bad judgment, and these
naturally are turned on to the market
for low-priced animals.
This Dog as Nasty as Some Men.
At Wililams is a dog, a beautiful
mild-eyed and gentle spaniel, the prop-
erty of “Capt.” Adams, that has ac~
quired the tobacco habit. He has no
other vice, but following meals he
yearns, as does an old smoker, for
nicotine. He knows all the tobacco
chewers who frequent his master’s sa-
loon, and will follow them persistently
till a piece of tobacco is given him.
With this he will lie down and lick
the tobacco held between his paws till
the piece is entirely consumed. “Boss,"
as he is called, has been a victim of
the tobacco habit for years, and the
dark hair upon his forepaws is dis-
colored in the same manner as is the
mustache of a cigarette smoker.
