H. admits having drunk "enough W hl»kev to float a battleship.” He has been married three times. He has been in five wars. ! He has twin "boys,” 74 years old, o t whom he insists look older than he. » He is quoted as saying: When I let too old to look at a well shaped I want to be put in my grave.’ And when he was asked by the United Press "if he would live his Hfe the same way if he had to do it a*aln." he answered somewhat ruefilly: •Tm afraid I would.” In Mexico Since 1888 General Agramonte has lived in Mexico since 1888. At present he is a patent attorney although at various times he has been associated in all kinds of enterprises. He was born in Havana, Sept. 19, 1830. His mother was Spanish and bis father American. After being educated in France, General Agramonte became a soldier of fortune. The wars in which he participated were: the Crimean; the Indian mutiny; the Maorian Insurrection; the United States Civil War, and the first Cuban War of Independence. He came out of the Civil War a major. During the charge of the Light Brigade in the Crimean War, General Agramonte was serving his first enlistment and he saw the famous attack from apoint on the front about two miles away. Wounded numerous times in these wars, the general also has few scars of more personal encounters. Two Encounters Twice in the past year, General Agramonte showed that he still has the courage of his youth. On one occasion he arrived home and found a P"ddler molesting his wife who is’ 72 and an invalid. The general ejected the peddler from the house and hammered his face. On the other occasion a processerver tried to arrest him under the impression that the general was some one else. When the processerver would not be convinced of his mistake, General Agramonte pushed him out the door and then when his unwelcome guest returned punched his nose. As he departed the official was warned that if he returne dhe would be shot. Despite his age it is only in the last tew years that he has suffered what may be termed even a slight degree of ill health. Bourbon whiskey, the general believes, th best drink man ever invented and he asserts that both his own experience and that of others shows that it is health-giving and never intoxicating so long as not mixed with other drinks. The general has had his Bourbon daily for most of his life and smokes a dozen or fifteen cigars. —o - — 1 S*****?«***«!S * PETERSON NEWS * By * * Misg Jeanette Spade * Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Fisher, of Decatur, were guests Sunday afternoon “ Mr. and Mrs. U.

Resolutions Os Respect From Eureka Temple, No. 39 Pythian Sisters, Decatur, Indiana. We. your committee on resolutions, on the death of Sister Alice Cowan, present the following: Visions sublime rise preeminently out ot the past, admonishing us through the evolution ot time and place that all things here must suffer change. Continent and ocean change; youth changes to old age as night succeeds the day. We continually hear whisperings of death, but no message ever brought more Pythians to pause and submit to the call of the Great Master than the announcement that Sister Alice CoWan had passed on. We all recall the beauty and the pride, "her soul's calm sunshine aud hear t felt joy, which nothing earthly gives or can destroy”, this sending into our ranks sweet inspiration. The fast coming evening of her life promised fair, but, The Healer was there and His arms were around her Showing her a star in the bright upper world. ’Twas her star shining brightly there She had heard a voice, ’twas the voice of her God; I love the, 1 love the, pass under the rod. Weep not that her toils are over, Weep not that her race is run; God grant we may rest as calmly, When our work, like hers, is done Till then we would yield with gladness, Our treasures with her to keep And rejoice in the great assurame

OLD FASHIONED DANCE REVIVED IN PHILIPPINES Manila, Sept 20 —(U.R)— GovernorGeneral Henry L. Stimson s revival of the stately ligodon has met witli great approval of old-style Spanish and Filipino residents of Manila. The rigodon, a dance some what similar to the French quadrille, was a feature of the Governor-General’s ball at Malacanan Palace shortly after the opening of the Philippines Legislature. Governor-General and Mrs. Stimson themselves participated in the dance, which was subsequently described as “dignified, graceful and elegant,’’ featured by "interchange of places, bow ing to each other's partners, marching with rhythmic poise ta the tune of music.” Virtually all the local press commented favorably on the Stimsons’ action in making the regodon a feature of their reception, and the Free Press a’ Manila weekly magazine, found symbolism in it: ' "The executive is bowing and scarping in the legislature, and the sweet and mellifluous phrases by which the governor-genet al is referred to by members of the legislature are swet as honey. That’s the essence of the rigodon cooperation, close and friendly. One false step and the measure is spoiled.” o Bible Poetry The ol'lest recorded poetical stanzas in the Bible are found in Genesis 4:23-24. o BEFORE Placing Your Orders for your Trees and Shrubs for your fall planting gef our prices and save money.

MEMPHIS JUDGE SAYS MAN AT 45 SHOULDN'T WED Memphis, Tenn., Sept 20—(U.R) —An answer to the question, "How old does a tnan have to be before he is too old to marry?” was given by Judge D. W. DeHaven in a divorce suit here. "No bachelor 45 or over should marry" he said. “After a man reaches 45 he is too set in his ways to adjust himself with a mate," the judge declared, in granting Mrs. Corelia Robinson a divorce from J. B. Robinson, 45. They had been married only a few weeks It was Robinson’s first maritial venture aud he admitted it was a failure. He returned to his bachelor quarters to take up where he had left off to try matrimony. Mrs. Robinson, in asking for the divorce, charged her husband fussed about grocery bills, that he kicked her out of bed, and finally abandoned her. "1 don't consider the fact that he fussed about the grocery bills ground for divorce, however,” Judge DeHaven said: "If it were, almost every couple would have similar grounds. Most husbands I know enjoy both a good meal and kicking about the bill afterward.” —: o Gst the Habit —Trade at Home, It Paye
