Griscom, of New York, in a report on the causes of vice and crime in that city, made a few years since, says; 'Among the causes of vicious excitement in our city, none appear to be so powerful in their nature as theatrical amusements.
For instance, she contended that all the Turks should be pushed into the sea and drowned, and that Mrs. Minster and young Griscom should be hanged side by side on twin gallows. In fact, this woman of peace, who had seen only peace, argued constantly for a creed of illimitable ferocity. She was invulnerable on these questions, because eventually she overrode all opponents with a sniff.
Bessie had endless tidbits of observation about Torsonians. "Mrs. Freke was a cashier in a Cleveland restaurant when he married her. Don't you see the bang in her hair still? ... Mrs. Griscom came from Kentucky, very old family. Tom Griscom, their only son, went to Harvard, he was very wild. He's disappeared since.... Yes, Mrs. Adams is common, but the men seem to like her.
Russell had my pith helmet and a suit of khaki and leggins. Griscom was in one of my coats of many pockets, a helmet and boots. We all carried revolvers, canteens and rifles.

"I'm afraid they will hold the tract at a high price, Mr. Thayor," said Holcomb. "Whatever they hold it at within reason I'll pay," declared the millionaire.
Every student not working over an actual mother or baby is busy performing on these home-made rubber models the operations she may some day be called to do upon a living patient. In the midst of these Dr. Griscom is interrupted by next ward that didn't cry for a week? You know that this morning you slapped it and it cried for the first time, and its mother was very happy.

I do not see how Griscom kept up as he did for he was an invalid and very nervous when he started. But he showed great sporting blood.
