BLAINE'S GRAVE.
Brow Of Winthrop Hill on MuIIiken
Estate the Chosen Spot.
Always a Favorite With Mr.. Blaine Because Of
It's Extended View.

1t has been definitely decided that
the remains of the late James G. Blaine
and those of his son. the late Walker
Blaine. will be laid to rest on the brow
of Winthrop hill The lot is situated
on the east side of the road connecting
Western avenue with Green street. on
what is known as the Mulliken estate.
1t is beautiful, both from its peaceful
surroundings and the extended out
look which it commands of the city.
lying at the foot of the long. high hill.
the liver flowing through it, and ex-
and in all directions for miles. can be
seen the surrounding country. with
rolling hills. and mountains in the dis
lance. There Mr. Blaine used to often
go and find the greatest pleasure in the
view presented. AS he was proud of
the city. so was he proud to show IT..
and he was wont to take his guests to
this place. where they could see the
city and it's beautiful environs.
Graceful elms spread their branches
over the chosen spot, making a typical
place for a grave.
No arrangements have been made for
the immediate reception of the re-
mains. and it is not likely that they
will be brought from Washington. d.
C., where they are now placed, before
next fall or the following spring. Some
alterations will necessarily be made.
but the trees bordering the semi circu-
lar driveway. will be left as it now is.
The lot contains about three acres. and
has been transferred by Mr.. W. II.
Gannett, the former owner. to Mrs.
Harriet Stanwood Blaine, the widow of
the late statesman.

Idtchen l closed the door and began spy
ing upon him through the blinds of the
window. He went u few PAGES as il in
tending to deyour his prey, and then
stopped, placed his chicken on the
ground, and thought deeply for u long
time. Several times he looked at the
kitchen door with his false and treach-
srous eye. Then, giving up all attempts
to seek an explanation satisfactory to
his mind, he contcnted himself with the
fact that he had the chicken, picked it
up and departed. As he disappeared
in the distance l could see that his some
times timid tail, which had hesitated
throughout our entire conversation,
had again become bold and firm.
Ponto's tail said: "Bahl l have both
chickens. Nobody saw me take the
first one, Hurrah!"
stealthily followed him from afar,
and surprised him In the act of hastily
scratching a hole in the ground with
his powerful forepaws. The chicken
that | had given him was lying on the
ground, and in the hole which he was
digging lay the other chicken. Twas
broken-hearted. My friend Ponto re-
tanned the instincts of his remote An
cestors. the foxes and the wolves, and
buried his provisions. But, alas! being
d)mesticated animal, md having be-
come the companion of mankind, he had
learned to lie.
Under the eyes Of the treacherous
and shamed-faced Ponto, made up a
little package of the longer feathers Of
the two chickens, and deposited this
little feather duster on my working
table. Whenever, thereafter, was en-
gagged at work and Ponto came to me
bringing his ball, and said, with light
and easy air: "Come, come. Lay aside
that rubbish and let us play ball." !
would invariably lift the little feather
duster. Then Ponto would drop his
treacherous head. His tail would slink
between his legs and adhere to his quiv-
ering belly. while the ball would fall
from his nerveless jaws. As he looked
at me he would say: els it possible that
you are so ruthless, so unforgiving
Do you never pardon?"
weeks passed, and l had not yet par
doned Ponto. But he was indefatigable
in his attenps 10 Y in me over. So one
morning, when he came 70 he again,
and when 1 seized the little feather
duster and poor Ponto was about to
withdraw, said to him:
Look, Ponto," quoth I, took upon
this for the last time. Thus perishes
the only token of your fault" and I
hurled the feather duster into the fire.
Ponto carefully watched the feather
luster burn. Then, without any hys-
terio manifestations OF joy, without
caps or skips, but nobly, simply, with
dignity. he came and proffered his paw.
fhc crime was forgotten. We were
friends again.

FREELAND TRIBUNE.
IN TiIE,-

Commencing with Monday,
February 10, 1896. and continu-
ing through the year, the TRI-
BUNE proposes to publish
series of able articles upon
subjects of vital and general
interest to our readers. Emf
nent thinkers and writer's of
national reputation on Social,
Economic and Industrial Prob
lens have promised contribu-
tions upon topics of universal
interest. The list of authors,
and the comprehensive group
of "Live Questions" that will
be treated by them, can be
seen on this page, and will, we
confidently believe, merit the
hearty interest of readers who
are already interested in these
themes, and are anxious to
receive the most rational opin-
ions obtainable.
All articles will be prepared
in an inquirinS and scientific
spirit, and will be non-sectional
and non-partisan. Vigor and
simplicity Of statement will be
aimed at, and oil phases Of re-
form thought will be fairly and
impartially presented. Upon
subjects about which there is a
variety Of candid opinions, all
sides will receive an equal op-
portunity to be heard, that the
truth may, if possible, be ar
rived at.
This is the first cooperative
attempt upon the part of able
writer's to thoroughly discuss
all the interesting phases Of
social and industrial life for
the masses who would be the
benefciaries of substantial re-
forms, and the arrangements
made by the TRIBUNE give us
the sole privilege of publishing
the articles in this town. They
can be read in no other Free
land paper, and those of our
readers who are not subscribers
should have their names placed
on the list without delay.
