'MY HOME TOWN' Backward Glimpses By Spring- fieldiana to Places They're Loved and St10 Cherish
By CELIA RAY
PRINCETON, MA88, about which center picturesque legends and associations, was the home town of Dean T. Stanley Skinner, head of the conservatory of music at Drury college.
Ancestors of
Dean Skinner canie to the town in 1760 and his old home, which still is standing was built in 1786. The historic place was owned by his parents un- til they sold it a few years ago to move to the state of Washington.
It was in Dr. Skinner Princeton that Dean Skinner first took up his music study. His father for almost 40 years was organist at the Congregational church in the Massachusetts town. Dean Skinner frequently returns to his old home for visits. He was there two years ago when he was studying in Bos- ton during the summer. He first left Princeton when at 19 years of age when he entered Oberlin college.
"Princeton is rich in Indian tra- ditions and is a very interesting place," said Dean Skinner.
"Our home was at the foot of Mount Wachusett. about which the poet. Whittier. wrote. Many poets and other writers came to the town during the summer for it used to be principally a summer resort. Helen Hunt Jackson once visited in our home.
"One of the interesting traditions of the town is that concerning Re- demption rock, a place visited by all tourists to the town. It was at this rock on the side of Mount Wachus- ett that a great aunt of mine. Mrs Rowlanuson, was redeemed from the - Indians after having been held for ransom. and King Philip was pres- ent at the meeting."

Hit With Inkstand
ROMANCE of a young 3pringfield couple, who were married Mon- day, yesterday turned to discord when charges of felonious assault were filed in municipal court after the bride's mother had seriously injured the young bridegroom foi- lowing an argument.
The Injured youth, James Reed, ac- tive worker in the Farnsworth chap- ter. Order of DeMolay, and state president of DeMolay, is seriously ill at his home, suffering from scalp and skull wounda suffered when his bride's mother. Mrs. J. P. McCaffrey, 1628 Sherman street. hurled a heavy inkstand at him.
Reed, who is the son of C. Il. Reed, assistant city clerk, was mar- ried to Isabelle McCaffrey, former popular Senior High school student.
When the girl's mother learned cf the ceremony, she refused to recognize it because Reed was of a different religious faith than her daughter, and because the cere- mony was performed by a Justice of the peace.
Yesterday morning young Reed and his father went to the Mc- Caffrey home where they hoped to come to a peaceful settlement of the differences. An argument fol- lowed and Mrs. McCaffrey, becom- ing excited, hurled an ink stand at young Reed. It struck him in the head, rendering him unconscious.
He was taken to bla home, where It was said last night that he was confined to his bed.
The father, who was a candidate for mayor here last spring. ap- peared before Judge C. A Hubbard in municipal court yesterday after - noon and swore out two warrants against his son's mothe. inlaw. He charged her with felonious assault and disturbing the peace.

'MY HOME TOWN' Back ward Glimpees By Spring- fleldlans to Places . They've Loved and Sull Chertab
By CELIA RAY " THE gem of the Ozarks-the best inland town in America," is the distinction Lieutenant · Governor Phil A. Bennett claims for his old home town, Buf- falo, Mo.
Mr. Bennett was reared on a farm southeast of Buf- falo. His grand- parents were early settlers in South- west Missouri. His maternal grand- parents, John and Nancy Proctor O'Bannon, came Bennett from Kentucky in an ox wagon in 1838. Finding a nice spring on a beautiful prairie, they camped nearby until logs could be cut and a house built. The nearest settlers were eight miles distant. Wild game of all kinds was plentiful and dangerous beats were common. Mr. O'Bannon became the owner of several sections of fine land and the prairie where he settled is still known as the O'Bannon prairie.
Governor Bennett's paternal
grand-parents, Philip and Anna Marrs Bennett, were also early set- tiers of Dallas county coming from Clark county, Ill., in 1855. They set- tied one mile south of. Buffalo. The lone chimney of their cabin now stands in a beautiful meadow and attracts attention of these passing over U. S. highway 65.
For 17 years Mr. Bennett owned and edited the Buffalo Reflex. He not only comes from a family of pioneers but it has been said of him that he is somewhat of a pioneer himself having brought the first cylinder press, first folding machine, I first linotype, first picture show and first automobile to his native county. "Dallas county is progressive; the people are law abiding. Industrious

and God fearing," said Mr. Bennett.
"On the Buffalo Reflex, 1 had subscribers -former Dallas county residents-in every state of the union except Maine. Among the boys from home on my subscription list were: Judge White of the supreme court of Colorado: W. A. Wilkinson. well known, professor of Columbia university, N. Y., Louis Brownlow. then commissioner of the District of Columbia. Dr. W. R. Bennett of San Antonio. Texas. Dr John Fowler, one of the best known sur- geons of Chicago; . the Reverend George Watkins of Indianapolis father of Miss Maurine Watkins. the writer).
"Old friends are dear and none are more enjoyed than comrades of my father who served in Company I. 16th Missouri volunteer cavalry during the Civil war. Among sur - vivors of this company are: N. L Bennett, aged 94; J. W. Means, 93: and David Olinger who is about 10 years younger.
Mr. Bennett and family located in Springfield in the summer of 1923. He says that while Springfield is the best place In the world to live. he doubts whether he and Mrs Bennett will ever quit saying. "down home" in referring to Buffalo. His interests there are not confined en- tirely to sentiment. He is a director in the county's largest bank, O'Ban- non Banking company.

Trappings of Royalty Gone But Mrs. Kentling Is Happy
Springfield Woman, Now 92, Accompanied Maxi- milian Expedition Into Old Mexico
By CELIA RAY
GONE from the capital of Mexico are the trappings of royalty. The pages of history have closed upon the sad and handsome emperor, Maxi- milian, and his beautiful bride, Car- lotta.
Yet In the mind and stories of a Springfield woman, Mrs. Katle Kent- Ung, there linger vividly the tragio days that shattered the golden hopes of the young royal couple. She was a member of th household of Maxi- milian and Carlotta when grief fell upon them.
Mrs. Kentiing. who looks much younger than her 92 years despite a life crammed with perilous adven- ture, lives at the home of her daugh- ter Mrs. A. B. Forrester, 735 West Walnut street. With a colorful flow- er pinned in her soft gray hair. speaking with an attractive accent and cordial manner, Mrs. Kentling recounta stories as thrilling as those that spring from the most heroic pages of history.
1 BORN IN HUNGARY
Born in Hungary. Mrs. Kentiing
united young men Napoleon III of France to become emperor of Mexico, she went with her young husband and was lady in waiting for Carlotta.
The world was bright and beauti- ful to the young folk as they set out on the great adventure, attached to a new royal house in a new world. But tragedy struck when Maximilian lost his military support and in June 1867 native Mexican troops under Don Benito Juarez marched Into Mexico City and made Maximilian prisoner. The story of how the young ruler was tried. convicted and shot and of how his lovely wife. her mind broken, lived on 60 years only to die last January. long since has
been inscribed In the pages of his- tory.
1 HUSBAND BANDMASTER

Royal Bandmaster Heldle and bis bride were among the six court fol- lowers who reached the United States in safety. He. however, was very 111. and when the steamer which brought : them to this country had touched New Orleans his young wife hurriedly Arranged to travel up the Mississippi to St. Louis that there might be no danger of his contracting yellow fever which then was raging But her ef. forts to save her husband's ilfe were futile and the young bandmaster died soon after reaching the Missouri city
Three years later the girl who had
Frank Kentling and with the high bearted courage of a pioneer came to a sparsely settled region of the Ozarks TO establish the first general store at Highlandville.
"The country was very, very wild :n those days-almost bad." recalls Mrs. Kentling. of her early residence In Highlandville 59 years ago.
"It was woods from Highlandville to the square in Springfield. We had no bridges across the streams, and sometimes when the boys came here for goods for the store they had to walt & week before they could get back."
But this did not daunt the courage of the brave young woman to whom : life had been one series of adventures. Although she spends much of her time with her daughters here. she . still calls Highlandville home and frequently visits her sons there. She la the mother of nine children, eight of whom are living.
GETS MANY LETTERS
Many letters comme to her from all parts of the country asking for Infor- mation about her eventful ilfe in Nexico There are friends, cheering iellen and there also sometimes are . irritating. abuard questions. For in- stance there is the woman who wrote :0 uk if it were true that Carlotta bad a child, who when the revolution "lamed in the country was placed in : bajoon and sent safely in the United States. Another wrote to know all the details about Carlotta's fond- tess for Chihuahua dogs, the tiny .pind!y-legged animal known as the . J.allest dogs in the world. and Mrs
