Did you ever notice the difference in
manner between the experienced loafer
and the man who semi-occasionally pass
es an hour on the street, when it comes
to accommodating themselves to street
furniture? The novice in loafing will
search for soft dry goods box, carefully
brush the dust and splinters from it, and
take his seat as carefully as though sit
ting in a lady's parlor. The old veteran
will plump down upon cast-iron front
as contentedly as a chicken into fresh
sand pile. dust or no dust. Some years
ago, business man who kept in the
Sternberger building, corner of Main and
Broadway, concluded to stop men from
sitting on the front steps and foundation
plates of that building. So he put up iron
bars for distance of perhaps three feet,
finishing off on top with long iron
knife, hammered to sharp edge. He
was now certain that he would never be
annoyed any more. But what was his
chagrin to notice day or two afterward
a large. fat man, sitting quietly and con-
tentedly ON the edge Of the knife. Any
are good, if you can
only get used to them.

looking anxiously skyward, but there is
no sign, or hope, of rain in that direction.

berg took place at o'clock to-day. The
remains were taken from the residence
to the cemetery, and buried, after which
the large concourse of friends went to
the German Church, where the funeral
services were conducted. The deceased
left eight children, and the walls of these,
as the remains of their mother were borne
away from home, were sad in the extreme.

On Thursday morning, as the grave of
child had been discovered in the ceme-

seemed to know how it came there. Here
was chance for big sensation, and if
some of our exchanges had gotten hold of

was murdered by it's great grandfather,
and that the old gentleman had been seen
sitting upon the grave, picking his teeth

grave had been in the cemetery for two
