Show COSTS PULITZER $40 TO EAT HORSERADISH San Francisco, March 9. For tho privilege of tatlng horseradish, Albert Pulitzer paid forty dollars. He did not buy a garden where the torrid vegetable is grown, but invested the money in a cablegram to his physician in Vienna. Pulitzer has retired from newspaper work and Is here writing his memoirs. The message to Vienna read as follows: "May I eat horseradish?" horse-radish?" and back over the Atlantic cable came a laconic "yes" from the doctor, who regulates the diet of the former editor. The charges were forty dollars, but as Pulitzer departed for the dining room with a smile, It was evident that he thought It was money well spent. |
