A Tombstone Lies in the
New Paris Depot For
Forty Years and is
Recovered.

An interesting story with regard
to a tombstone comes from New
Paris.
NJ. W. Little, now of Huntington,
was born at New Paris, but left there
half century ago. Forty years
ago he shipped from Huntington to
pfaced over she grave OF his g-Hud-
father who died and was buried there
in 1855. At the time he wrote to a
friend at New Paris to see that it
was properly placed over the grave
He heard nothing from it, and as he
had prepaid the freight he supposed
it was all attended to.
Last week Mr. Little visited New
Paris for the first time in fifty years
and went out to the cemetery to visit
the grave and monument. 1t could
not be found. Finally Mr.. William
Hahn, an old resident who had gone
out with him, asked if he was GER
tain this stone had ever been set.
He told Mr.. Hahn what he had done
and the latter replied that be remem-
bered that 'thirtyt five years ago he
had seen an old tombs tone lying
among lot of rubbish at the freight
house.
With not the slightest expectation
of finding the stone, Mr.. Little and
his friend strolled down to the freight
station, and the agent unearthed an
old dust covered stone with the in
scription precisely as MIR. Little had
ordered it, put away in corner un-
der a pile of unclaimed freight. Mr..
Little inquired if there were any
charges against the freight or
any record of the reason the stone
was not delivered, and the
agent inquired how long since the
stone was shipped. Lob. about 1859
or 1860, - responded Mr.. Little care
lessly. The agent almost fell over,
in his astonishment, and remarking
that he was no archeologist, and that
the stone would be worthless for any
other than Mr. Wagner. anyway,
told Mr.. Little to take it away. The
stone was hauled to the cemetery,
but even with the assistance of old
citizens, Mr.. Little could not locate
the grave of his grandfather, which
forever will remain without a marker

For New Castle Foot Bali
Team-.-R. II. S. Won by
a Score of 40 to @.

The crimson and white again floats
victorio5s over its opponents and n
G. II S. went home with the awful
score of 40 to 0 staring them in the
face From the score one would
think that the game was uninterest-
ing. but it was not because it showed
the superior strength and team work
of the home team to a fine advant-
age.
The two teams appeared to be
evenly matched as they are about
the same weight, but before the game
was over they showed themselves
not to be in the same class with our
boys.
Richmond did not play her usual
game and in the last half told their
opponents where they were going to
hit the line or what end they we're
going around and who was to
take the ball. and still New Castle
could not stop them At the end of
the first half the score was % to 0
and the first two touch downs were
mad In three minutes. The
touche downs were made by Louck,
Bulia, Elder. Hill aud Newman.
The features of the game were
Louck S brilliant end runs;
Elder, Hill, kaufman and
Newman line bucking, and
the general poor work of the
New Castle team.
The longest run of the game was
80 yards. made by Louck in the first
half and Elder made similar gain of
90 yards through the line.
The crowd was small compared
with the other games but Richmond
made enough to pay expenses and
had small amount left over. Miss
Lucille Gaar entertained both teams
at the home of her parents on north
fifteenth street Saturday night.

Miss McDOnneII'S Goods.

Some little time ago Miss McDon-
nell of Williamsburg shipped over
the G. r. Il NJ. box of goods cen
signed to herself at Marion. The
writing on the tag was illegible but
the destination looked more like
'tMuncie than anything else and
the box was sent there. The agent
OF the c. r. & NJ. there sent the
usual postal card notice to Caroline
Mcdonnell, Muncie, to the post
office. By queer coincidence there
was a woman of that name in Muncie
and she sent for the box and received
it. When later on the real owner
began inquiring and the c. r. & NJ.
agent went hunting for the goods
the woman denied receiving them.
Her sons denied all knowledge of it
also, but being locked up by the po-
lice weakened and confessed. The
goods were found at the home of a
man named Pinnick, near Mrs. Nc
Donnelrs, where they had been taken
by MRS Mcdonnell and left. They

The Reading Cure.

Reading Aloud is recommended by
physicians as benefit to persons af-
fected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because IN all
cases Of lung trouble 1t is important
for the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled by
and empted Of air, for the exercise is
Strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles of the chest.
Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being a curative act
can be a pleasure and profit TO both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
it is recommended that an overdose Of
medicine be avoided. that the reading
be deliberate. without being allowed
TO drag. that the enunciation be clear,
the body be held in an easy, unstrain-
ed upright position. so that the chest
will have free play. and that the
breathing be natural and as deep as
possible without undue effort.
