WHAT WAS HIS SECRET?
The Story of an OWtc0st Who Fell among

The toriuous winding OF the river kept
three of their number busy in keeping the
boat in the current, while the remainder of
tho company gathered about an individual
who was entertaining them with rustic airs
upon violin.

OF manhood, was dcyoting ail hts energies

that the public consideration OF IL was, like

The spirit Of the Democratic caucus on
Tuesday night was radically different
There were no differences except as to minor
details. Every man IN that body was for q
secret ballot, and by the quickest means.
They resolved unanimously that they would
accept every constitutional feature OF the
Baker bill. but that the secret ballot, and
consequently honest elections. could be had
in Penpsy ylvania only by the excision from
the constitution OF the provision touching
registration and the numbering OF ballots.

presence of largo cOncourse Of sympathetic
friends.
The remains were tenderly borne 10 the
chnncel by loving hands and numerous trib-
utes If affection in the form OF sweetest
flowers covered the casket almost from sight.
The services were conducted by Rev. j. /.

The two graves the old and the new, are

with the spread OF three splendid geranlums.
whose colors of scarlet white and pink make
a beautiful picture against the living green Of
Lillian Madisons resting place. A vigorous
young hickory tree spreads its branches over

are already loaded with well-fOrmed nuts

showed through il all. Stately dahlias,
carefully trained. raise their shapely flowers
above beantifully-blooming roses, and the
grass on grave and ground ~ carefully cut and
trimmed. The heavy rains Of the afternoon
disananged but could not destroy the beauty
of the flowers on the new-made grave. Two
exquisite pillows of pure-white roses. which
bear in purple immortelles the tender
words "Our Darling Lulu" silently
speak Of the love TO her Of those who laid
them there. The other grave was without
