OF the fact, that the paper will support

Republicans of New Mexico stand idly

Mrs, Leurs' s.nehnna's Grave.

|
In Connecticut city four years ago
Mr.. Jones died and was buried. His
widow wept over his grave She deco
rated it with flowers. She kept it green
and often repaired thither to muse on
the virtues of Jones and over her de-
parted happiness At least she thought
she was weeping over Jones' grave.
About the same time that the amiabls
Jones "passed over" as the spiritual
lists say, another married man also
passed over. His name was something
else-we shall not say what, for fear Of
particularizing too much. The name Of
Jones is the real name Of the husband
of the widow of the first part, but Jones
is so general that there is no danger Of
particularizing The other man s widow
did not decorate his grave or weep over
it. She visited it sometimes at first, but
she saw that it was kept spick and span
by some one-she supposed by the grave
yard sexton. After time she ceased to
visit it even, until one day, after the
expiration of four years, she suddenly
determined to erect monument over
it, Perhaps she was about to marry
again and wanted to do the fair thing
by the first man before taking the sec
ond.
At any rate, she went to the grave
yard to attend to the placing of the
stone. What did she find? 1t gave her
startle as If a mouse ran under her feet to
find that already at the head of her hus-
bands grave had been securely planted
a neat cross bearing the name of Jones.
1t fairly lifted the bonnet off her head
She consulted her deed to the cemetery
lot. 1t was correct and numbered in her
name. The Jones whose headstone re-
counted the list of his manly virtues
was not her Jones. Somebody had made
strange mistake and "mixed them
corpses up"
The Widow Jones was apprised Of
the mixing up. She tainted then and
there upon the turf she had been keep
ing green for four years. She would not
believe that she had been wrong. The
other widow, whose emotions do not
appear to have interfered with her level
head after the proper interval of four
years had elapsed, proposed that the
graves should be opened This was done,
and there upon the coffin of the man
whose grave the Widow Jones had been
watering with her tears for four years
was the name of the other widows late
husband. Her own beloved's s mortal re-
mains were resting in desolate, weed
covered, sunken plot next door, as il
were The Widow Jones had been trim
ming up the wrong mans grave. ,
The only explanation offered of the
strange mistake was a suggestion by a
bad gravedigger who would make light
Of his own grandmother that the men
had changed places after they were
buried.

mental condition of Herman Bicknese, the
brother of Louisa Luetgert, who disap-
reared twenty years ago, and was re-
Gently discovered locked up in the Colo
ado state Insane Asylum. The defence
viii endeavor to put this document in
evidence. and If the Court refuses 10 adj
rnit n the superintendent Of the ssylum
himself will be brought here TO testify.
According TO the superintendent re-
,ort the mental alteration Of Mrs.
Iuetgert's brother was brought on by ex-
cessive drinking rather than as an in
herited trait, although, in the opinion OF
the superintendent, a family tendency 10
insanity might have been aided by the
liquor habit.
Bicknese disappeared from Chicago
twenty years ago, after his wife had ap-
piled for and secured divorce on ac-
count Of his dubious habits. 1t was be-
cause Of the latter, II is said, that no
effort was made to trace him by the rest
OF the family. 1t was known that he
had gone West, and noting was heard OF
him till the defence rec yived word from
the Colorado asylum mat Bicknese had
been there at different times for ten
