Victims OF rhe Plague DisinterIed after
Two Centuries.

During the excavations which are now ia
king place near The tunnel of the East Kent
Railway, ut Ordnance Place Chatham, the
workmen have disc overed great number of
human remains, amounting in lhe whole 1t
is said, 10 nearly fifty. The skeletons were
discovered at depth Of scarcely three feet
below the surface of the ground, nearly the
whole OF them appearing as if having been
buried in coffins. The discovery Of such a
number Of skeletons has caused a vast
amount of interest in The neishborhood, and
speculation is rie how they came 10 be buri-
ed at the spot in question, which is far re-
moved from anything like churchyard.--
Local sntiquarians seem 10 be of opinion that
the bodies have been there about two hun
dred years, and it has beer suggested that ii
is more than probable that they are the re-
mains of those persons who died during the
great plague in 1866 as il is wellknown
fact, from The parish record that Chatham
suffered severely on that occasion and from
fear of infection, j appears feasible that the
bodies of lhe deceased persons would be de-
posted as far away from the town as posi-

No Use for TrOwsers,

From "The Compass, With Variations"
BY TOM HOOD.

Down went the wind, down went the wave
Fear quilted the most finical;
The saints, wot, were soon forgot,
And hope was at the pinnacle;
When rose on high the frish,iu cry
"The DEVILS in the binnarle."
"The saints be near" the helmsman cried
His voice with quite ialer,
"Steady's my helm, but every look
The needle seems TO alter;
God only knows where China lies,
Jamaica or Gibraltar"
The captain stared aghast al mate,
The pilot al lh' apprentice;
No fancy of the German sea
OF fiction the event is;
But when they at The compass looked,
1t seemed non compos mentis.
Now north, now south, now east, now west,
The wavering point was shaken,
Twas past the whole philosophy
OF Newton and OF Bacon.
Never by compass, till that hour,
Such latitIdes were taken.

rB- PAssToN.-A passionate person is al.
ways in trouble--aways doing that which
he regrets and is ashamed of, in his calm re-
flecting moments-always an annoyance 10
his best friends, and confessedly his worst
enemy. The indulgences Of passion by pa
rents especially, has far reaching, most
pernicious influence. A parent who cannot
govern himself is totally unfit 10 govern his
children. A freliul, peevsh mother will
make her children like herself, and nothing
less than miracle can preven, it. An angry
word, followed by blow, goes far 10 fret
and provoke, and sour the temper of your
children, and such course should ever be
avoided.

Sham Stock Sales in New York.

On two days of last week, Tuesday and
Wednesday, there were sold at the New York
Board OF Brokers nominally $4,000 Reading
Railroad shares amounting in value al par 10
100000 when the city holds under $4,000
shares, one half of which have not changed
hands in the last eighteen months, and at
4, Isast 10000 of the other half is held in trust
for buyers on the other side of the ocean
The people believe this Of course; they be.
ilieye TOO that Notwithstanding this condition

l9i, 1926 shares have been sold as reported,
which at $50 per share amounts to SIS, $685..
100, and if kept up at the same rate until the
year is completed it would amount 10 over
$77, 100000, which is over $26, ,OO0, 900,
more than the entire banking capital of that
city! This extraordinary business, at which
I'VE can anticipate the eyes of readers not
skilled in financial operations, stretched 10

Reading with stock limited 10 223, ,66S

A LO N E..

Twas midnight, and he sat alone
The husband of the dead;
That day The dark dust had been thrown
Upon her buried head.
Her orphan'd children round him slept,
But i'm their sleep would moan,
Then fell the first lear he had wept-
He felt he was alone.
The world wes full OF life and light,
But, alb, no more for him
His little world once warm and bright
II now was cold and dim.
Where was her sweet and kindly face !?
Where was her cordial lone?
He gazed around the dwelling place,
And felt be was alone.
The wifely love--maternal care
The selfdenying zeal
The smile of hope that chased despair,
And promised future veal;
The clean bright hearth-nice table spread-
The charm o'er all things tbrown--
The sweetness in whate'er she said-
All gone-he was alone!
He looked into his cold white heart,
All sad ind unassigned;
He asked how he had done his part,
To one 80 trus-so kind!
Each error past be tried TO track,
In torture would ate ne
Would give his life 10 bring her back
In vain-he was alone.
He slept at last; and then he dreamed
Perchance her spirit woke,
A soft light o'er his pillow cleaned,
A voice in music spoke
"Forsot-Iorgiven all neglect
Thy love recalled alone,
Thy babes leave; oh, love, protect!
still am all thine own.n
