Many strange things have been told
concerning the secrets of the rave.
Within the past few months discoveries
have been made in Missouri and Iowa
that people have been buried alive, but
the straugest discovery was made in
Colchester a few days ago, viz, that,
after having beer buried twenty-one
years, the body of Miss Flora Hume is
in as perfect "a condition as the day she
died.
Twenty-one years ago the lady died in
st. Paul Of pneumonia and the body was
brought to Colchester and buried in the
Argyle cemetery. That cemetery has
long since fallen into disuse, and recent
ly it was laid out in nicely improved
grounds. The few graves in it were re-
moved, and among the dead was the
body of Miss Flora Hume. 1t was in
closed in "A metallic case. This was GOV.
cred with a heavy coat of rust. WheI
the cover was removed there lay the
body perfectly intact. The feature:
were readily recognized by relatives,
and the clothing looked perfectly fresh
Even a ribbon of delicate tint about tbs
neck was as bright and fresh as when il
had peer first put on.
The face was not in the least discol'
ored, and the body was full and round.
In fact, the corpse looked as though il
might have been buried only a few

A man who strayed into a charity
bazaar" had a trying experience.
He had made several quite unsatisfac-
tory purchases, not knowing how to re-
fuse the demands of the pretty sales
women, and at last, TO prove that he
could make one sensible investment, he
bought a small matchbox and carried it
off in triumph and haste.
Examining it after he had left the
booth, he discovered that there was no
place on which to light the matches.
So, with the air of one determined not
to be cheated, he marched back to the
young lady of whom he had bought the
box.
''There is a mistake here" he said.
"You sold mt this pocket matchbox, and
there is no place on it to scratch the
Matches"
my dear Sir" said the young lady,
"you are quite right; 1 made a mistake.
That is intended for a jewel box and
costs fifty cents more, if you please"
And what did you doF' asked a friend
to whom he related his tale of woe.
''If you've ever been to n fair" replied
the other in an aggrieved tone, "you
know very well what l did. l paid the
fifty cents, of courser'-Exchange.

ket today was dull and stlgnaut again
most of the time. but exhibited con-
siderable weakness during the early
trading. While the syndicate plan for

very fact that such a syndicate was found
necessary is used by the bears against the

How General Sherman Got Some Queer

There was a big celebration by the
Grand Army, and as a special train full
of members from New York passed Eliz-
abeth, n. j., a tall, gray headed man en-
tered one of the cars and took a seat next
to a committeeman, who was decorated
with more badges and medals than a
French field marshal.

us in those days, while poker was a good
deal. Well, l horsed the old man pretty
bad, and when at last he opened a jack
pot he was about LEANED out, so he wrote

Children who Work Ten Hour. a Day.

Children who Work Ten Hours "A Day
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, looks
upon the employment of young children
in mercantile houses as a serious evil.
There are no statistics" said he, "to
show the number of children under four
teen years of age thus employed, but it
must be large. 1 believe hat some chill
dren under eight years of age are EN-
ployed in mercantile houses, and l know
that their wages seldom exceed two dol
lars per week, while for a single days
absence they are locked much more than
a single days pay. The average pay is
probably not more than $1.50 per week,
and many small children receive but one
dollar per week. There has been no at
tempt to organize children into labor
unions because the thing is impossible.
They could not act of their own volition.
The hours of children in mercantile
houses are ordinarily from 7:30 a. IN. to
$3.50 p. m, and in the holiday season as
late as 10 p. IN. Many such children are
set to work not SO much from the need
as from the greed of parents. New
