A showing of gas and oil In the well drilled here by the Price Petroleum company which has been in evidence since the drill first struck the solid formation, is an indication of possibilities of the Price structure, according to John 0. Crapo, geologist, who worked out the geology of the structure In detail last summer. HAT historic structure, the Wayside Inn, built In 1CS0, and famous as the setting selected by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow for his "Tales," has again changed hands, Henry Ford Is the buyer, and be has announced his Intention of maintaining the old landmark located at South Sudbury, Massachusetts, a museum open to the public. Henry Ford, generally considered to be one of the world's ten most famous living men, has a taste for old Institutions, and a conviction that "nothing good ever passes off the earth, whether It 1s a quadrille or an engineering device." Slxty-sl- x years after the Pilgrims landed, a family of some Importance by the name of Howe erected this ancient building as a residence. Some years later they lost their fortune and were forced to turn their home Into an Inn. For about 200 years It remained the property of the family, the last of the race, Squire Lyman Howe, being the Landlord" of the Tales." George Washington and Lafayette, it Is recorded, were guests at the inn. To the Continental troops during the Revolutionary war It was well known, for, being on the main highway to Boiton, It was well situated for its purpose. Longfellow was a frequent visitor at the Inn, and three of his close friends. Prof. Daniel Treadwell, the Theologian," and T. W. Parsons, translator of Dante, the Poet," and Luigi Monti, political exile, professor In Harvard, and later United States consul In Palermo, the Sicilian" of the Tales, were In the habit of spending their summer vacations there. It Is not of record, however, that Longfellow saw them there, but In letter dated October 30, 1SG2, shortly after he had begun to write the poem, he speaks of a visit there with his publisher, James T. Fields. Thus, with a picture of the Wayside Inn fresh In his mind he wrote: As ancient Is this hostelry As any In the land may be. Built in the old Colonial day When men lived In a grander way, With ampler hospitality; Now somewhat fallen to decay. With weather 6tains upon the wall And stairways worn, and crazy doors And creakldg and uneven floors, And chimneys huge and tiled and talL i After the death of Squire Lyman Howe, the place passed Into various hands, and finally was purchased by Edward R. Lemon, who restored It and Installed a fine collection of antiques, some of which originally were the property of the Howes, but hnd been scattered. It was from Mrs. Lemon, his widow, that Mr. Ford bought it. The swinging sign that formerly hung over the front door of the old Inn recently was found In a Wellesley Hills (Mass.) hayloft and Is to be presented to Mr. Ford. William Diehl, a farmer, dug the relic out of a mass of Junk that had been collecting for years. About twenty years ago, Mr. Diehl says, a party of Harvard students, bent on a lark, hired one of his sleighs for a trip to Sudbury. When the sleigh was returned to him the sign was In It, and Diehl tossed It Into the hayloft It shows a prancing, chestnut horse, on a gayly painted background, and bears the title Wayside Inn." A painter who examined the work declared It must have been done more than eighty years ago. Sudbury before long will hove many historic buildings, grouped about the site of the Wayside Inn, to show visitors. Recently Mr. Ford purchased the village smithy at Uxbridge, Mass., n to many than the perhaps even more Inn Itself. For It Inspired Longfellows Immortal poem, the one we learned In school. Under the tree the village smithy spreading chestnut stunds," Is the way It begins, but how many of vs know the name of the mighty smith? Japhet Taft was his name, and It was he who In 1787 built the structure which the Detroit manufacturer now plans to add to his collection of New England buildings and Implements. The blacksmith shop was purchased by W. W. Taylor for Mr. Ford from Louis Albcc, who has owned the property for several years. Longfellow was Inspired to write his famous poem by seeing Japhet Taft before the forge. Later Mr. Taft fashioned parts of tho original Into a miniature forge and sent It to the poet. The building Is being dismantled and wilt be taken to Sudbury In sections. Another building being added to the collection Is the last of the little red schoolhouees" that well-know- CJxbridga eSmUhy once dotted the crossroads of almost every New England town. Arrangements have been completed for the purchase of the little district school n road. This building on the building was erected In 1801 and Is believed to be the oldest authentic little schoolhouse In New England. Besides being a little schoolhouse. It has the added authenticity of still being painted red. No one knows when the last coat of paint was applied to Its hand-hewclapboards, but beyond a few shabby places on the weather side, the outside of the building still Is In a fine state of preservation. The Inside of the school Is today Just as It was when the last class marched out In the years Immediately following the war between the states. rostrum used by the pulpit-lik- e The country pedagogues still stands In one corner. The desks, much carved with Initials and cryptic Insignia are there and a heavily drawn pencil mark In another corner Indicates the bounds within which unruly pupils were confined. The dunces" bench still stands firmly against the wall near the masters desk and a nail In the wall still holds a bunch of frazzled witch hazel switches tied by a thong. The spot has been the mecca of many picnic parties and reunions of former pupils, though of recent years the number of visitors has greatly decreased. In line with Mr. Fords enthusiasm for restoring and preserving these historic relics of a bygone day Is his equally strong Interest In the revival of the dances of our grandfathers. Not only Is he practicing them himself, but pupils of the Dearborn (Mich.) high school also are given free Instruction on the dance floor three times a week. How many of you older readers remember the fisherman's hornpipe, speed the plow, St. Patrick's day In the morning, French four, Scotch reel, Hull's victory, firemen's dance, and the Sicilian circle? To Mr. Ford the intricacies of these good old dances are no longer mysteries, and be Is doing his bit toward popularizing them, not with a view to exterminating the modern dance If people like It, but rather looking toward having young and old dunce together, thus making the dance more fun for all. It is not definitely known Just what started Mr. Ford off on this terpslchorean tangent Possibly It was that verse In Ecclesiastes for Mr. Ford Is a student of the Bible: "To everything there Is a season, and a time to every purpose under the sun; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance." Some time ago, so the story goes, a dancing master In Worcester, Mass., one Benjamin B. Lovett received a telephone cull late In the evening. This Is Mrs. Barker at Wayside Inn speaking." Mrs. Barker Is the principal hostess at the Inn and took dancing lessons from Lovett fifteen years ago. Mr. ncury Ford," she said, "wants to know If you will come up here tomorrow morning for a talk with him at ten oclock." ' The dancing teacher, after be hung op the receiver, begun to think over the engagement he had made and wonder what It was all about Lovett had been teaching modern dnnclug. He felt that Ford hnd no Interest In the ballroom concerns of the Twentieth century, and Lovett was rather shaky, he found, when he came to think e maneuvers. back on the lie went over what books he hnd, Ironed out tlte wrinkles of memory, and when he stepped out for Wayside Inn the next morning he felt capuble for whatever examination might come. Mr. and Mrs. Ford were In the ballroom of the Inn when the professor arrived, and the manufacturer's first shot left Lovett gasplog. Do you know the ripple?" Mr. Ford asked. Gardner-Wlnchendo- n old-tim- The dancing professor didnt, and he was between the devil and the blue sea. If he said he knew It, Mr. Ford would want to be shown. If he said he didnt, the dancing master figured that he would put him down as an Ignoramus. He decided on the truth, nevertheless. No, I dont," he said. Tve heard of It somewhere, but I cant recall where. But Til know It the next time I see you." Mr. Ford laughed heartily. Why, I caught him the first time," he said, turning to Mrs. Ford. Early the next morning Lovett got out his automobile and went hunting that strange waxed floor bird, the ripple. He rode out of Massachusetts. He went Into New Hampshire. Here, there, be made Inquiry of fellow maestros. None could help him. He crossed another state Une. He came to Burlington, Vt The first woman he met, a dancing mistress, nodded when he asked If she knew the ripple. She said she had taught It ten years before. Have you the calls?" asked Lovett, eagerly. No, I havent," she said. "Theyre out to my cottage, and that's twenty miles away." My car is right here. Let me drive you out there, suggested Lovett That's too bad, now, said the woman. The cottage Is on an Island, and the road Is torn up. You couldn't get over It now except by walking." The Worcester maestro continued his unusual quest The next man visited offered the key to the problem. Sure, I know. The ripple Is what we call the Newport down East" Lovett went back to Ford all primed and full of ripples. A few months later the dancing master sold out his five dancing halls and went to Dearborn as Mr. Ford's private dancing teacher. dances cannot be executed The to the moan of the saxophone. Mr. Ford prefers music, believing that Jazs lacks All dancing and all music must have rhythm. rhythm, he declared, and the Jazz music hasn't got rhythm." Recently he invited A. Mellle Dund violinist and chamham, the pion of the state of Maine, to play at a barn dance In Detroit A Ford dance book Is In course of preparation, containing all the figures, and also a history of dancing. In this It will be pointed out that the n dance begins snd ends with a single couple and that the group spirit of fun Is absent It Is further quoted as saying: "This characteristic of the modern commercial dance Is determined by commercial considerations. The older form of dancing requires room. Room In cities, especially In cabarets, Is expensive. Hence a form of dancing has been encouraged that enables the largest possible number of paying couples to dance together In the smallest possible space. The result la that In the modern method the movement of the dance Is mostly above the feet Denunciation of the dance by the protectors of public morals has usually been occasioned by the Importation of dances which are foreign to the expresslonal needs of our people. There have been Imported Into the United States of recent years dances that originated In the African Kongo, dunces from the gypsies of the South American pumpns, ond dances from the hot blooded races of southern Europe." The Dearborn dance mnnunl will make no claim to the personal authorship of Mr. Ford, but It will give expression. It, Is understood, to the manufacturer's sentiments on the subject For It appears to be no secret In Dearborn, and wherever Mr. Ford has Intimate friends, that bis latest motto Is, "On with the dance!" and tlmt he lives up to It at every seasonable opportunity, firmly convinced that dancing of a rational and rndully American character Is capable of being developed Into an Invaluable Instrument for sorlu seventy-one-year-ol- ultra-moder- Myton.
