for one of his years. He Is poor
master of the town in which he
lives, a position he has held for
many years. He Is also Justly
proud of the family record, coming
from a long line of American patri

After a winter's diet of meat and
cereal food, succulent vegetable matter
is a necessity, and "greens," coming
after the winter vegetables are gone,
and before the new summer crop has
appeared, make healthful change. Any
wild or cultivated plant whose leaves
are edible at all, is good for greens.
Many of the best greens are.wild plants.
Dandelions, wild mustard, lettuce, sor
rel, lamb's quarter, "narrow" dock,
plantain, milk-weed, 'cress (pepper grass)
and purslane are all good. Spinach is
the commonest of all domestic greens.
Many plants have curative value, and
many old-fashioned people often credit
their health to an annual course of dan
delion greens in the spring.
The hundreds who were anxious to
see the departure of the Russell-Dow
special wedding train on Thursday night
last, and assembled at the depot for that
purpose, were nicely fooled. There
seemed to be considerable .delay in the

tion, and the special engine kept up a
continuousracket with its exhaust cough
ing and sneezing, and by making occa
sional runs up the track and back
with the empty passenger coach. The
crowd was patient and :good natured,
however, and were content to wait as
long as necessary for the opportunity to
shower their rice, confetti and old slip
pers on the happy couple. Meanwhile
the bridal party and immediate friends
quietly proceeded to the D. & H. crossing
at Chapel street, and when the cars made
a little longer trip than before, quickly
got aboard, and were off for Carbondale,
exploding a lot of track torpedoes as a
parting salute, leaving their disappointed
well-wishers to disperse at their leisure.
