They Were Once Used In . Church
yard In Scotland.
In the earlier half Of the nineteenth
century the practice Of stealing bodies
from the churchyards for the purpose
of sale as subjects for dissection, which
was known as body snatching." was
for time very rife.
Various plans were made to defeat
the nefarious and sacrilegiOus proceed
ings OF the body snatchers." or ''resur-
rectionists." as they were sometimes
called. q very common one being the
erection Of two or more small watch
houses whose windows commanded
the whole burying ground. and In
mounted guard for a number Of nights
after the funeral.
A usual method Of the grave robbcr.
was to dig down to the head Of the
cofin and bore In It a large round hole
by means Of a specially constructed
center bit. 1t was to counteract this
maneuver that the two curious coffin
ike relics now lying on either side Of
the door of the ruined church Of Aber-
foyle. in Perthshire. were constructed.
They are solid masses Of cast iron Of
enormous weight.
When an interment took place one of
these massive slabs was lowered by
suitable derricks, tackles and chains
on to the top Of the comm. the grave
was filed in, and there 1t was left for
some considerable time. Later ON the
grave was opened and the iron armor
plate was removed and laid aside
ready for another funeral.
These contrivanees still lie ON the
grass Of the lonely little churchyartl.
objects Of curiosity to the passing ey-
clist and Scientific American.

The Door Remained Open After q
Very Forcible Argument.
An old story is told Of Joseph Robi-
doux, the founder of st. Joseph. that
had it's origin In Holt county in the
early settlement OF that section. The
trader who started the city was re-
turning to st. Joseph with n number of
red men. and they stopped with an ac-
quaintance OF RObidoux's close to
the house, and Robidoux went In to re-
main overnight as the guest Of his
friend.
The settler closed the front door aft
er they had retired. and RobidOux. who
WAS used to sleeping In the open air.
went softly to it and opened 1t. The
owner of the house waited until RObi-
douX was In bed again. and the settler
closed II. That was repeated a dozen
times. THE next time that door is
closed there will be trouble" snid the
man who had founded st. Joseph. He
resumed his couch with that.
The owner Of the house closed the
returning TO his bed. They clinched
and fought by the light OF the moon
that came In through the window. 1t
was a hard fight and lasted long
time. but at last Robidoux had the set
tier on his back and sat astride Of him.
He tangled his hands In his hair and
bumped his head against the puncheon
floor. "Open or shut?" he asked. The
settler struggled. but did not say a
word. His head was bumped many
times. and the question was repeated.
Finally the settler was exhausted.
His head WAS bumped again. and RO-
bidoux asked, "Open or shut:'
"Open," answered the settler. and
they went to bed with the door stand
ing wide open. admitting the fresh air.

The fist fighting people have had
q quarrel or rather Jim Corbett, .
prominent fist fighter has had a
quarrel with his wife and she has
been telling some secrets of the ring
that the public did not know. The
public did not know that the prize
lighters manage the fights them
selves, that is they arrange it among
themselves, who is to be defeated.
Tom will arrange with Dick before
they go into the ring which one is to
be whipped. That is an cid dodge
OF the horse racing ring carried into
the fist fighters ring. The hors.
jockles can arrange among them
selves what horse shall win q race.
Mrs. Corbett says the fist fighters d.
the same thing, and the betting pub
lie have the wool pulled over their
eyes Il is betting ignorantly un-
less one is close enough to the horse
jockies and the prize-fghters to get
information from them as to which
horse is to win or which prize fighter
is to win the fight. These days the
honest prize fight is fight between
chicken roosters and dogs, for when
they fight they fight for the sake of
a fight and not for money, and there
is no system of management BY which
one chicken or dog may have the
fight in him so reduced that it can be
determined that his opponent cannot
fail of winning the battle unless the
one be given booze or other drug to
lessen his power to fight. Mrs. Cor
belts exposure of the triokery Of
prize-fghters will result in public
good.

WHEN storm comes in from the
sea like the one that came in and
destroyed Galveston last week, des.
troying the lives of several thousand
people aud destroying property val
ued at millions Of dollars, it sets
the mind of men to thinking about
the towns that are located on the
low-!ands along the sea-shore. How
soon storm like that at Galveston
could destroy place like Atlantic
City. Atlantic City may never be
visited by such a storm. The Hol.
landers centuries ago experienced the
powers of the sea, and thay have
raised embankments along the coast
line of their country to keep out the
sea when it becomes tempestuous
There are low-lands along the United
States that will have to be protected
in that way, if they are to be contin-
ued habitable places.

PORT ROYAL FAIR.

Those who last year expressed the be-
lief that the Carlisle Indians drew the
great crowd to Port Royal, had no such
basis to found the crowd on that at
tended the fair last Thursday The
fact is Port Royal Fair time is becom-
ing a county reunion season with the
agricultural association as q nucleus to
furnish grounds and buildings i'm which
to exhibit the products of the household,
shop and farm, and entertainments, and
track on which to speed horses, with a
small admission fee to pay for the rum
ming expenses and gradual liquidation
of the debt incurred in purchasing the
ground and erecting the buildings. The
most popular thing on the ground last
Thursday was the well and it kept a
steam engine working to supply the
people with drinking water, and the
man who handed out the drinks had
not time to look around or flirt with
the girls. 1t was probably the thir~tiest
crowd ever assembled on the grounds
as it had good reason to be on account
of the unprecedented drought and dust.
The race track IN front of the grand
stand was kept sprinkled SO that the
trotters could be seen with satisfaction
and the spectators kept from getting
more than two pecks Of Juniata dirt
this year. The races went OIL finely ac-
cording to program. The exhition Of
live stock was larger than in many past
years and everyone was on the tip-toe
of expectancy to see Colonel Moore
head AngOra goats. Goats whose ped
igree run back to Asia minor, to a date
long before the Christian era dawned
Now reader don't fall into mistake
and say that the Sentinel and Republi-
can said: The COlonel's goats are more
than 1000 years old. 1t is only meant
that the ancestors of the Colonel's goats
came from Asia minor where the ami
NAL was cultivated more than two
thousand years ago. 1t would have
been q sight worth seeing. A herd of
Angoras lin their silky hair, eight
inches long. Their hair, fleece, is worth
80 to 35cents pound, but the Colonel's
goats did not materialize. There were
handsome black legged, black faced
and black cared sheep on the ground
Floral Hall had percentage of heir
loom quilts and other bedroom finery
and jellies galore and other good things
| to eat; specimen corn ears that remind
ed one Of old time corn crops in Juni-
alta; Long tobacco; plump wheat that
was suggestive of q better general wheat
crop than the county this year turns
out. While standing examining wheat
in bag handsome girl Of perhaps
16 years stepped to a row Of bags filled
with wheat nearby and carefully ex-
amined the specimens. To the remark,
"Miss, 1t can hardly be that you are in
terested in wheat" She answered,
"Yes, sir! we are sowing six hundred
acres to wheat" Then look was di-
rected to the girl. She was ladylike
and We thought well, this must be q
daughter Of a Tuscarora valley citizen,
who has gone to Dakota and engaged in
farming on large and we said: "You
have come from Dakota" She answer
ed, mo sir! l live in Iowa." but who

BETWEEN one and two hundred
thousand coal miners quit work on
Monday. The strike will affect q
million people directly and indirect
ly. 1t will affect every branch OF
business in the stricken communities.
1t destroys the business of both en-
pioyar and employee. There are few
men outside of the bosses, who have
forced the strike, who can sse any
good to the miner and bis family to
strike when winter is at the door,
and the season is at hand when peo-
pie need more supplies of all kinds
than at any other time in the year to
keep them alive and comfortable. It
is their work however and if it did
not effect other people one might say
of them as they make their bed, they
must lie in it.
