In a speech at Norwich, C< mm >., the
home of hla grandfather, delivered dur
ing a recent vlalt, ex-Fresldent Cleve
land told the following anecdote:
"When I lived In Buffalo, a good many
year» ago, a man also lived there whose
occupation wai largely the collection
of bad debts. He was so persistent
mil followed a debtor In a manner so
destructive of peace and comfort that
he was quite commonly known as
‘Pestilence.' He originated in Norwich,
and I determined that If I ever hud au
opportunity I would test his Norwich
pride of nativity. One day he called
on me, and »Ince he was not on a col
lecting errand we began a pleasant
chat. He soon remarked that he bad
often wondered If I was In any way
feinted to 1’eacon Cleveland, who used
to live In Norwich. With the opportu
nity I ha<1 awaited so fairly presented
me and anxious to make the test
as thorough ils possible I replied that
I was somewhat related to the deacon
as a grandson and casually indicated
my doubts as to 111» fair dealing In bl»
huHlnewi a» a watchmaker and repair
er. The tjest wax most effective, but
the explosion was terrific. For an !n-
stant I feared physical harm, and be
fore the door wa» slammed behind a
raging figure I was told with vigorous
emphasis that I was a disgrace to my
name and that If I ever became a man
one-half a» honest and respectable a-
my grandfather who lived In Norwich
1 would be more lucky than I deserved
to be and more of the same sort. Now,
of course I knew it was wrong as an
ordinary proposition to speak In the
way I <rtil about my grandfather, but
in ahi of an Important research and for
the purpose of testing a most Interest
lug theory I sacrificed my sense of pro
priety. I have fully made up my mind
that under no stress of temptation will
I ever again even appear to scandalize
•r »peak lightly of my own or any one
else'» grandfather If he was born In
Norwich.”
