PORTRAITS ON THEIR ToMBsroNEs
Likenesses or Elias Rich and His Wifi Said to
He DiacernibIe Over Their Graves.
BANGOR, Me-. May 2s.-In the cemetery of the
village of fremont, on Mount Desert Island,
there is a marble tombstone bearing the in
scription:
ELIAS RICH.
Died Dec. IA, 1857.
Ago 81 years and 22 days.
blessed are they that die In
the Lord"

Elias Rich was a devout Christian. The old
residents of fremont say thoro was always
sameness in his religious talks. whether In pri-
vate or in church meetings. Before he ended
his remarks he was always sure to declare his
faith In a heavenly life hereafter.
"When I die" he would say, ~ will wear a
crown of glory, and will surely leave some token
behind to prove to my children and to the whole
world that there is a reality in religion and a life
beyond the grave
After Mr.. Rich died, a plain marble stone was
selected to mark his grave. When II was set up
1t was without spots or blemishes on Its white
face. Storms beat against tho marble slab, and
sunshine played about 1t, and slowly the stones
color began to change In places, although few
people noticed II at first. One day, about a year
after the stone had been set, Mr.. Rich's daugh-
ter-in-law noticed something that looked like a
crown on the face of the marble slab. That
night she told her husband what she had seen,
morning. He, too. could see the odd marking,
and when. he returned home ho. said to his wife:
well, i guess fathers got his CROWN
1t was not long before the neighbors saw the
town to see the stone. The features of the. face
are so distinctly outlined that those who knew
Mr.. Rich say II Is an excellent likeness OF the
dead man. In the morning or in the evening
tinctly seen. Then every feature appears In
clear outline.
Several years ago Mrs. Rich died and her body
was laid beside that OF her husband. In recent
years ODD lines have been observed on tho stone
clearer and moro marked, 30 that now q we'll
defined likeness Of the dead woman 10 discard,
bic on the marble surfaces. -, -,

The value OF philosophy in a mans makeup

Although not 200 yards away was another car,
the German disdained 1t, and started after the

long ago bound Mary and her little lamb.
They acquired their mascot In Acapulco. where
some sailors on shore leave captured a young
fawn in the hills and carried It aboard ship, with
the solo intention OF carving It into juicy steaks.
After they got 1t on board the sailormcn all ad-
mired IL, and one OF them adopted II and swore
n mighty oath that nobody should touch n hair
Of its dapplcd hide. The mon who captured 1t
said II was their fawn, and IL they wanted TO
mako steaks OF II he couldn't stop them, and
there wero angry remarks and many very
naughty words. Tho f~o'castle was soon divided
into two factions, and tho war spirit ran high.
In the mean time the fawn ambled about and
got acquainted, and ate salt from the hands Of
friends and foes alike. and nfbbled ut their
trousers and their ears and poked its nose Inn
partially into their plates at mess, and by the
time the ship was ready to sail there wasn't a
man on board who wouldn't have risked his life
to defend that OF tho favn. So thcy christened
Y Billy. and duly installed 1t in tho ~fo'castle as
tho ships pet.
When the vessel got away from land Billy was
the most surprised animal that over went to

why. 1t became q very sea-sick fawn. and II the
surgeon had not taken tho best Of care of Billy
might not have pulled through. And as 1t was,
Billy looked as II It would be humbly grateful to
any sailor that would carve 1t up into steak.
But Billy recovered and in q few days was Just
as frisky as ever. and seemed as much at homo
on the ship as II the decks had been its native
hills. When the ship was docked at Port Orchard
Billy watched the whole operation with the
greatest curiosity, as IL IL wondered whatever
WIS going to happen next. AS soon as the gang.
planks were put out II ventured forth, without
persuasion, as soon as 1t saw one Of the sailors
go ashore. Since then 1t has. gone about with
the men wherever they go, following them with
the affection and implicit confidence of q dog
