day. "When old and young feet are
bsiled two and one-half hours, as usual
the old ones are tough and worthless,
If they were boiled three and one-half

Housekeepers will be glad to get hold
of this new way Of cooking pigs feet.

the general public. 1t has been known
for long time, and there is hotel in

vegetation comes rapidly forward.
The heat of summer is moderate.

adapted for raising sugar cane, cot

Middletown transcript., 1881-10-21

North of the church we found the
tomb of Gen. Wayne, erected by the
Society of Cincinnati in the year 1909.
The inscription tells us he was born
1745 and died 1895, at Presque Isle, and
was buried on the shore of Lake Erie.
His remains lay there until 1909, when
his son, Col. Isaac Wayne, brought
them on in a gig or sulky, steam being
an almost unknown motor then. They
were deposited here in this quiet coun-
try church yard to rest until the ressur-
rectiOn morning. We found here the
hand of vandalism. Some two OF three
dozen names were written on the tomb
with lead pencil. Snobs counting public
ity had written their names and dates Of
visit. Indeed, an individual who en-
tered the yard the same time we did
seemed more anxious to show his wife
his name, which he had written twenty
five years ago, than to tell her that the
stone covered the remains of a man
whose name is household word in
America. It reminded me forcibly of
the old adage that
Fools names, like fools faces
Are always seen in public places"

HE GOT 1T.

One of the most touching things We
have read in a long time is that story
of a rObber, and poor, lone woman
near Franklin, Indiana. The robbel
came to her house at night and deman-
ded her money or her life. She hadn't
much money or life either, but she pre-
ferred giving up the former rather than
the latter so she brought her little
store and placed it in his hand. He
looked it over carefully to see that she
didn't palm off any twenty cent pieces
for quarters, and facetiously told her
that he could credit her for only nine
ty-four cents on the trade dollars, child
ing her for taking them at their face
value. Haven't you anything else of
value ?' inquired the bold, bad burglar,
looking about the scantily furnished
apartment "a child's bracelet, ring,
anything will be thankfully received. y
She had nothing more she replied with
a sigh. A thought struck him. Your
husband was soldier, was he not ?''
She acknowledged that he was, and was
killed in the war. 'sThen he must
have had a revolver he continued,
searching her countenance. "Ah you
grow confused, you stammer, your man.
ner betrays you. Get that revolver at
once and give it to me. In vain the
woman implored him to spare that
harmless trinket, almost the sole memo
rial of the husband she had lost. She
had pawned many things when in dis
tress, but had always held on to that.
But the robber was unrelenting. Sob
bing bitterly the poor woman went to
bureau drawer and removed the pre-
cious relic, around which clustered SO
many tender recollections. Must you
have it 2'' said she, as she advanced
with trembling steps towards him.
{" Yes must, . said the robber, extend
ing his hand. "Well, then, take it, /"
said she, gently pressing the trigger for
the last time. There was a loud re-
port, and the robber tumbled over dead. |
The community ought to pension that
woman. Cincinnati Saturday Night. |
