A LARGER CEMETERY

II Needed, and tho Cop,mitteo on Gene
teries Thinks of Buying the Thompson
Property East of tho Pcninsalar-The
Properly to be inspected.
Alta meeting OF the city council com-
mtttee on cemeteries, held last evening.
q very important matter, the purchase
Of additional real estate for Peninsular
cemetery. was considered. The mem
bers of the committee present were
Chairman W. H. Haller. John G. stro-
bel, Kasiey and Williams.
Chairman Halter said he had called
the meeting to consider the matter Of
the purchase Of real estate to odd to the
Peninsular cemetery. The Thompson
tract, containing seventy acres, Is the
piece Of property under consideration.
1t lies directly east Of the present ceme-
terry. The property has been offered to
the committee for $4,000. which IS $500
per acre. Under the land there IS coal,
and the committee wants to acquire the
land exclusive OF the coal Chairman
Halter had secured the price mentioned,
from Mr.. ". P. Hubbard. the agent OF
the Thompson property. The chairman
said the agent Of the property would
make the payments as easy as the COM
mittee or council desired. The commit
tee members believe the only way the
property could be acquired was to pay
for It IN yearly installments extending
over a period, OF several years.
Sexton Dean believed the property
could be purchased for about 500 an
acre. or about $1,000, without the coal.
The committee believed 1t would be bet
ter to acquire the property without the
coal. the city. notSbeing IN the coal min
Ing business.
Mr.. Strobel suggested that Chairman
Halter secure further details from the
agent Of the property, and that the
committee make an inspection ofthe
property next Sunday morning, this in
spection to be followed by-a meeting of
the committee on Monday evening.
The need OF additional cemetery room
was spoken OF by the chairman and sex
ton. There are now no lots available
for sale.
Sexton Dean reported that many
bodies had been inferred at the Peninsu-
lar cemetery that came from the county
infrmary. for which the county pays
nothing except for the digging of the
grave. This surprised members of the
committee, and It was suggested that the
board OF commissioners should be made
to pay for this occupancy Of city prop.

A sailor hat was on her head.
Red, white and blue her chateiaine;
She had q flag beneath her chin,
She wore a badge--"U. S. S. Maine,
A tiny cannon for a pin.
She wore a sheil-comb in her hair,
with army buttons all embossed;
Some swords were also sticking there,
And at her belt some rifles crossed.
Her pocket-book was knapsack shape,
Her smelling bottle wee canteen.
Containing essence of "Crushed Grape"
The neatest thing I'd ever seen.
Her face was patriotic, too,
And full OF everlasting charms.
Her cheeks were red, teeth white. eye

She also had repeating arms.

So an engagement l did seek;
And though my chance to win was slim,

Puff! Suddenly she fired at me
A perfect fusilade of smiles!

Upon her then (for they were loaded),
But when the fast-sent kisses burned,
The powder on her face exploded!

Of late on the stage, at their stage dinners,
dressed in this manner and now the "ele-

these are worn large hats hitherto consid-

WHAT THE CHILDREN SAY

When. in the dusk of evening, come ia
where l see
Three little faces at the window looking
down at me,
1 hear the shout of Papa" and the
sound of scampering feet,
And find myself prisoner ere can beat
retreat;
The robbers seize my parcels and search
my pockets through,
And bear me to their castle spite Of all
that 1 can do.
There the queen of these banditti gently
chides their boistrous glee,
And asks how many kisses it will take to
ransom me.
Oh, IS there any pleasure in all the busy
day
That's quite as sweet as listening then to
what the children say?
Helen thinks hundred kisses are enough
to ransom me,
II I'll change them all for pennies bright
as soon as l am free;
While Harry claims that Papa Is mora
valuable than that
And so the rascal confiscates my overcoat
and hat.
But tender-hearted Josephine makes terms
for my release;
We'll let you go, dear papa, for just one
kiss apiece"
When I've paid my ransom duly, this val
liant robber band
Escorts me to the table, with guard on
either hand,
There for a blessed hour I fling my cares
away
And grow younger as listen to what the
children say.
From my prison in the study detect them
stealing by,
TIL they think they're out Of hearing then
with shouts away they fly.
All about the house they frolic--now below.
now overhead;
Little chance III have for study till they're
snugiy tucked in bed.
But at last there comes a silence. and

Ihree little sober faces clustered at their
