What a Grave Digger Sees.

1--WE seen some mighty queer
things in my time says an old
grave digger, quoted by the
Baltimore Sun. 1--we seen peo-
ple-mourners, | catch
sight of name on the card tied
to some flower piece, and they
have gone straight to work to
tear up the whole thing. I'll tell
another thing I've noticed.
When a woman comes along
and makes a big fuss at her hus-
bands funeral, and says, throw
me in; I can't live without him. :
l know that in a few weeks
time I'll see her out here leaning
On some young fellow arm. It's
never failed. It's happened every
time. But the people-women
and men, too-who don t take on
a lot, but just keep still, and
sometimes don't even shed a
tear, that's the kind that grieves
You don see that kind mairy>
ing again as soon"

losing a position as janitress, as

face, but he prevented a second
blow by catching Mrs. Smith S
arm. Then he slipped into the
crowd and disappeared. Friends

Mrs. Smiths intentions, as she
had waited at the postofice two
evenings before to meet Adams.
Last night she stood IN the
shadow of a nearby doorway,
and when Adams appeared she
took the rawhide from beneath
her cloak and attacked him. She
declares that she will yet be re-
venged. Adams denies that he
said anything derogatory to Mrs.
Smiths character, as she claims
and that she was not discharged
for that reason.

the boast of people residing in

Work on tie Ohio River and
Charleston Railway has begun

gangs of negro laborers have
been either driven out or else
