FLORAL DESIGNS
What Becomes of a Great Many That
Are Left on Graves in
CemeterieH.

In one Of the cemeteries people have
been known to carry the floral designs
from the lots Of strangers to their own.
Some people have even gone to the
places armed with brushes and pots Of
paint, with which they have changed
the cOloring of the metal designs they
have taken for their own lots. The
painting Of iron chairs and other iron
work which ornaments the lots, to es-
cape detection when the articles have
been removed without the consent Of
the owners, is quite common.
After some funerals from ten to
twenty floral designs are left upon the
graves. Not long ago, after the funeral
of little child about six years old, 16
designs were left on the grave. In a
day or two the flowers wither and
nothing remains but the glaring, tin
fOil-covered frame. In cemeteries in
which there are from 40 to so funerals
every week the number of these de-
signs, which are removed every month
by the employees of the cemetery,
mounts up into the hundreds. Every
once in awhile florist calls at one Of
the cemeteries and buys up lot Of
gates ajar, harps, Tyres, vacant chairs,
pillows and anything elese there may
be. The designs are usually three to
four cents apiece. The cost Of the same
designs when new would have been
from 10 to IS cents each
Sometimes the florist may find some
thing unusual in his collection. For in
stance, in the case of the death of a rail-
road engineer the friends have fre-
quently hOnored his memory by send
ing a floral design representing loco
motive and a cab. Some time ago the
friends Of a deceased street peddler sent
as their tribute Of affection horse and
wagon to represent the vegetables he
cOlored flowers in the inside of the
wagon to represent the vegetables he
had sold.-BaltimOre Sun.

THERE'LL BE NO DARK.
A Prediction That In 1880 All work

cation of life as easy and as practicable

time to vOrk-esPecially during our
long summers. The temperature from
sunset to sunrise is cool and eqUable,
there is almost always a refreshing

naturally reverse their hours OF toll.
I venture the prediction that noon in

shades. Respectable folks viii be abed
and asleep, enjoying that delightful re-
pose which we now associate with an
afternoon siesta, something, by the
way, that should have long ago given
us a tip that day was the proper time
for rest. Then, when the wonderful
incandescents Of the future blaze forth
at dusk, everybody will arise invig-
GRATED and alert, and getready to begin

head. From that moment the Indians
didn't seem TO recognize any command
er, but kept up the fight in q hsphzzard
way until after 3 o'clock, when they re-
ceivsd refnforcements and also q new
man in command From this time
until sundown no one man could de-
scribe the fight, as each Of rs was 50
busy with his own affairs that be paid
no attention to the movements Of his
neighbor. At sundOHn the Indians
drew of their horses, but left their
sharpshOOters-
II then joined the main party, and
for the first time learned the effect Of
the fire Of the Indians. Col. Forsyth
had both legs broken, Lieut.. Beecher
had broken back and three bullets in
his body and DR.. Moore had been fat
ally shot in the head It looked as
though I was about the only man left
unhurt. AS it was, over . men, or more
than one-half the force, we're either
dead or wounded.
at was nearly midnight p Comanche
continued, swhen Col. Forsyth ordered
old Peter Truden and myself TO make
3 forced march 70 Fort Wallace, which
was 40 miles away. Peter was an old
trapper, and one Of the best rife shots
I ever saw. Wrapping blankets about
ourselves, We crept out among the In
dians, whose camp, We we're soon to
learn, extended in a direct line south
to Wallace, whereas we had been OF the
opinion that it ran to the west.
Each Of US had cut of a chunk of
raw horse meat for food on the way,
and then, with mOccasins made from
the tops Of our boots and with a sad
die blanket wrapped around Us, We
made, as We thought, fairly represen-
tstive Indians, at least so far as pow
erty and filth were concerned. We
succeeded in making three miles the
first night. Then we hid ourselves in
a washout in a ravine where the grass
had grown so tall that it hung over the
lodges. Here we lay all next day, lis
tening to the fighting on the island,
and yet we were powerless to get the
relief we were after or return to our
party.
''That night we made more tracks
toward Fort Wallace, only to find our
selves within half a mile OF the main
village Of the Indians on the south fork
Of the Republican. We got into a
swampy place and hid during the day,
knowing that Indians would not fol-
low Us into the marsh with their horses.
The next morning we found ourselves
at the head Of Goose creek, on high,
rolling prairie.
"Indians were so thick all around
that We had TO hide in the carcasses Of
two buffalOs. The beasts had been
killed the winter before, so that it was
an easy matter to crawl into the shells
formed by the bleaching ribs. OF
course, they were no viOlets, but we
didn't mind that. When night came
We pulled out and reached Fort Wal
lace As soon as we told our story,
Gen. Sheridan ordered all available
troops to the scene of the fight.
Meantime, however, two couriers
had reported the fight to Col. Carpen-
ter's command, and that good old sol
der, without waiting for orders, struck
right out and reached the BATTLEFIELD 4S
hours before the troops from the fort
got there"
