Trained.

Ayoung married man at a st. Louis hotel,
having told his wife that business called him
out OF town for the night, sent note to
friend from the billiard room to the following
effect:
sDEAR B.: Come down and join us. @. and
/ are going out for "a time tonight. We arc
going TO take in the town. Don't give 1t away"
They went out and had q "time." About
10 O'Clock next morning the husband ap-
peared, gripsack in hand, and entered his
room, where he found his wife crying by the
window. swell, nay DEAR" bracing up as
well as he could and trying to look as II he
had had q long and tedious ride on the rail-
road, 'I've got back at last, tired out, but
awfully glad TO see you again." He expected
that she would rush into his arms, but she
did nothing Of the kind, She looked up at
him severely with her tear-bedimmed eyes,
but never moved. "Ohl you deceitful
wretch" she exclaimed, after she had gazed
at him until he felt as II he would like to sink
through the floor. 81 never expected this of
you. Oh! how could you? how could you?"
and again she bursted into tears. "Why, my
darling, what's the matter now?" asked he,
determined TO stand his ground until he was
sure that she knew his secret. 81 sup-up-pose
you too-ook in the tow-own last night" she
sobbed. 81 don't know what you mean, my
dear" said he, now as pale as ghost "You
don't2" replied his wife, firing up. 81 sup
pose you didn't write this?" and she presented
10 him the note he had written to his friend
and which the bell-boy had delivered at No.
1S5 instead Of No. 2S5. He told his friend the
next day that when he started out again to
take business trip into the country he'd
have 10 take his wife with him.

Robbing Graves of Flowers.
Inc Editor OF me Ecenin0 Critic.

~ Wt GuttOI " LUG ICtHtHD IISCtCs
Please call the attention of the proper
obtains at Glenwood Cemetery OF stealing
flowers and shrubs from the graves. These
depredators 60 into the cemetery grounds
under pretense OF visiting the graves of their
friends and take advantage of the opportunity
afforded not only to pick up and carry away
pull up rose-bushes by the roots and carry
them away. This is said to be q matter OF
almost constant occurrence and the superin-
tendent claims to know nothing about the mat
ter. A lady planted roses around her husbands
grave last year. They were carried OFF. In
she bought large bunch of ivy and set 1t out
ON the grave. Recently that was lifted and
carried away. Another family took ont some
choice geraniums and had them planted. The
next morning, when an attache OF the grounds
went went to water rui,e' tih,em' four of the best
by the root and roses pulled up and carried
away from the grave OF a beloved and only
daughter. The superintendent gives no sufi-
Client assurance that these outrages shall
cease. Is there no remedy? Would 1t not be
well for Congress TO 30 amend the charters OF
the District cemeteries as to make the compa-
nies responsible for the security Of those
buried there as well as for the protection OF
shrubs and flowers? / am told that a woman
was seen coming out of tho cemetery with
lot OF flowers or bushes with folds OF her
dress thrown over them. Something Is due
the affection OF those who plant flowers over
the graves OF loved ones. Can not these hends,
who are believed TO be numerous and not at
all confined TO the male sex, be detected and
sinuate In the least that the authorities are In
sympathy with these robberies, but do say
they do not suppress them. The directors
should be compelled TO do 1t. X.
