BURIED IN ANCIENT GROUND.
Modern Interments I'm nm Old Indian
Graveyard.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.)

(From the PittsbuTg Dspatch.)
Latter-day Christians are being buried
In a burying ground used by the ancieuts
bodies of moderns lie cheek by jowl with
the bones Of Indians who lived probably
thousands OF years ago.
MouLt Carmel is the cemetery Of the
CarInelite order. or. rather. Of the parish
OF Holy Trinity Church. Centre Avenue and
Fulton Street. which church is in the
control OF the Carmelites. 1t is situated
on the hills some two miles from the
end OF the Lincoln Avenue Street car line.
There are some six acres Of the property,
and everywhere in the six acres. and in
some OF the farms adjacent. skulls and
bones and ancient implements are found.
some OF them close to the surface.
Jacob Taghe is sexton of the cemetery.
He has a large collection of trophies of
the field, so to speak. relics OF a bygone
age. Many other people in the neighbor-
hood have similar collections. Father
Jerome, an eminent Carmelite archeolo-
gist is making an earnest study OF the va
rious relics in order to determine their
exact age.
There is one popularity as to the find
ing of the bodies. Some OF them are erect
and some of them lie fiat. Their position
appears to have been largely determined
by the character of the ground in which
they were buried. Where the ground was
soft and easily dug the bodies were found
erect. In places where the ground was
rocky the bones were found lying fiat, close
to the surface.
The fact that among the relics found
there is no metal of any kind seems to
establish the very great age Of the burial
ground. There are flint spear heads, ham
mer heads, and arrow heads. There are
curious animals and birds and fishes cut
out of bone with rude skill. And near some
l4rfr- rod thara form n
beads which, it is argued, denote that the
bones were those OF chieftain, man
great In his tribe.
There have been other ancient burial
grounds found from time TO time, but 1t
has rarely, If ever, happened that such q
place has. haphazard been chosen for the
resting place OF members of this latter
day civilization. And the place is also
noteworthy from the fact that 1t is not
marked by mound such as usually char
/ acterizes other places of the kind discoV-

WASTING HIS TIME.
A Funeral Sermon Preached Long
After the Interment.

lFrom the New York SUM-
A young lawyer in this city has made fre-
quent attempts to tell story of his faith
er's experience, and each time some one
has accused him of repeating humo- Gus
story which is still making the rounds OF
the newspapers. His father was min ster.
Some years ago he went TO New Eng and
town to preach a sermon He was
stranger to the congregation. There were
the usual notices on his desk for him to
read to the congregation. Among them
was a funeral notice When the minister
began to read this notice with due so.em-
nifty, giving the hour when the deceased
was to be buried and inviting the members
Of the congregation to be present, he was
amazed to see the smile that went around
the church. After the service a deacon
came to him and asked:
Where did you get that funeral no.
tice?'
1T was with the other notices. said
the minister. What is the trouble? Isn't
the man dead?"
Dead" said the deacon. We'll, he
ought to be. We buried him year and a
half ago.
In some way the notice had turned up
possibly from the leaves of the Bible A
paragraph about the incident was publish
ed in the local papers, and it had vitality
enough to travel all over the country
When the minister's son attempts to tell
the story he is greeted with incredulous
smiles, and IL he asserts that it is true his
listeners are very apt to say that il Is a
good story, but they have read 1t before
''It goes to prove" says the lawyer, how
hard II is 10 tell the truth"

Lost Hi. Customer at Craps.



II this story, for which Fred Weatherby's
sponsor. isn't true it ought to be, for he
tells it as if was. 1t happened during his
recent visit to French Lick Springs. The
first day Fred got in he had confidential
talk with the waiter who served him his
first meal at the hotel. Here. SAM" said
Fred Il like to be waited on just so. Now,
~ YOU stick to me all week and bring
things lust as 1 order them and see that
everything goes all right Will nix 1t with
you at the end Of the week"
The waiter promised and made good. All
during the week Fred had the best of SER
vice and when Saturday night came he
gave the faithful waiter 81 as a reward for
his trouble. When Fred came down for
breakfast Sunday morning his regular walt
er was no! on hand. Fred kicked at TINS
but the dusky gentleman in attendance re-
sponded: ,,,,;,,
pats alt right. san. Dere an suttin
uncomfortable reasons why dat Niger ain
allowed to wait on dis here table reckon
you all better try me. sub!
Fred concluded to make the best OF pad
bargain. and came to the same agreement
with the new man as he did with the first
one While the new man was away get
ting his order Fred looked about and per-
ceiyed the old waiter huddled-up in the
corner LOOKING as II NE S"aiiN"NN =
box of lacks. Fred called him over and
asked why he could not walt at that par
ticular table any more. The waiter did not
like to talk at first, but finally gave the fol-
lowing explanation:
You see. sab. when you all gin me dat
1T two dollahs l ies' nachually had to bus

HIS DIME INVESTMENT.
a Man Wondering when 1t VIII
Cease TO Grow.
From the indianapolis News.)


From the indianapolis News.)
Not many weeks ago business made 1t
necessary for a Cincinnati man, who often
visits Indianapolis, and who has we'll
known relatives here, to be in Evansville,
and while he sat with his chair tilted back
in the hotel lobby a lottery-looking clerk
made advances to him in behalf of few
soiied tickets and diamond ring.
They were only 10 cents, and the inns
guest held a dime in his hand. 1t looked
willing, and he passed il to the lottery
looking clerk, who gave him one of the
soiled tickets in exchange. Like the great
er number of its calling, the only attention
it got was to be utterly forgotten, and the
business man went back to Cincinnati.
Two weeks later he received an UMPIRE
tentieus package about an inch square
letter by the same post explained it to
contain the lottery diamond and himself
the winner.
He accompanied the parcel around the
cornei' to a silversmith's. where 1t was
slowly and solemnly examined, while the
business man walked up and down the
store and appeared to be interested in
everything but the brilliancy of diamond
ring At last 1t was found TO be worth
$500 and the jeweler offered $500 cash, or
a note for $3.50 But the owner determined
to get what 1t was worth, II he sold IL at
all, and took IL nOue 10 las "lle- sue
is a modest little woman, and scorns the
spoiIs "a chance. Knowing she would re-
s-se to accept the ring as a lottery prize,
he overpowered her by representing it to
be bona fide, out and out present.
But there was another objection when
she saw 1t, for il had the misfortune OF
being too large for a modest little woman.
Smothered with gratitude, nevertheless,
she begged her husband to have 1t ex-
changed for daintier one. They were go
ing to Cleveland that week and he had no
trouble in disposing OF the Objectionable
property there for s475. The money was
to be her own, and she put 1t away with
thrifty pride TO assist in the festivities
of a rainy day.
Before his return to Cincinnati letter
reached the business man from friend
who had been in Colorado working" the
will-yield- next year gold-mine which We
4 have always with us. The letter was full

/ $40 was needed to produce millions. The
sympathetic little woman would send the
poor man her money.
| Three weeks later an offer came to buy
her stock for $3.50, but she didn't want Y
then, and sale she would wait little
while. Two or three days ago $500 was
offered for it, but she still hangs on, and
her husband is computing the compound

scruples about speculation are adjusting
themselves to the altered conditions.

 .This is one of the most important associations in the state. and great field for the work to which Mir. Hutchison is peculiarly adapted. If accepting the position will not sever his connection with the church con- ference, MT. Hutehi<on will probably accept. The opinion of the bishop has been asked in the matter, and his ruling will probably determine Mir. Hutchinson $ action in the premises
