Finally:, when they all came crashing down, the frenzied . man leapedOupon them, stamping and flattening them into subjection. Then throwing them into his wagon and whipping up the "h'o`rses, he rushed off to town, and to tbe unlucky assembler of pipe's. He heaved them into the store, a flatten- ed and battered ruin, and roared: "The're! Take your -pipes!" This was a story of the late Geo. A. Sills, who as a young man was clerking 'in the hardware store of Johnson Bros., the unfortunate re- tailers of .the offending pipes. Another story is told of a large and ornamental stone at •the roadside, o'n which Mrs. Meyer would sit awaiting her husband's home -coming. When she died in 1883, Mr. Meyer had the stone moved to mark her grave, It can be seen today in the little ceme- tery of Harpurhey.
