A WOODEN WOMAN.
Trainmen Caught Flirting With a
Scarecr0W.


Some Of the trainmen on the Val
ley branch were given the marble
heart the other day" says the Solo
mon Sentinel. at seems that some
of them have formed a habit Of way
ing their hats and shouting musical
tones to women who would happen
te be out in the gardens at the differ
ent farm houses along the line. Last
Tuesday, as the train was going up
the branch one of the crew espied a
veritable Maud Muller in the orchard
of one of the country homes. He
bowed and tipped his hat, he waved
it and yelled, he whistled, but the
lady seemed to be devoid OF the pro-
verbal feminine curiosity and never
once turned around. One of the
other men, confident that his charms
could not be resisted, joined his
efforts with those of his friend, with
the same result. 1t was determined
to ascertain who the sweet young
thing was and upon investigation it
was found that the men had been
trying to hirt with-a scarecrow put
up to brighten the birds away from
the cherry trees"

About the Cemetery.

To the Editor Of the Reflector,
The managers Of the new cemetery
association seem to take good deal
for granted in their proposals to the
city. They have never yet made a
clear and comprehensive statement Of
their bylaws or constitution or shown
the people Of the city exactly what
they propose to do II they are given
control of the cemetery. Abilene
wants to do what is best for the town
but IL does not want to take any
chances on the matter. Mr.. Matte
son, understand, stated at the con.
ference meeting that the city must
pay $500 to the association or there
must be an investigation to see what
had been stolen. do not believe the
council Of this city is or ever was
made up Of thieves and bis insinua-
ton Is not a creditabe one to himself
or the city. While it may be that
the council is willing to give the new
association the money,in the cemetery
fund and 1854 besides, | much mis-
take the ma ture Of the councilmen IL
they will take kindly to having a club
held over them and threats made
that they must obey or have trouble.
There are several things that ought
to be clearly explained by the man
ayers Of the association and | think
they are willing to do it. they are
unfortunate in having Mr.. Matteson
as spokesman begin negotiations with
threats and thunderings. This is a
matter in which we are all interested.
Let it be settled on friendly basis.
FAIRNESS.
