tiOn Causes Complaint.

Some complaint has been made by owners
OF lots in Calvary Cemetery that metal

which have been placed on the graves in
that cemetery have been removed without
notice to the relatives and friends Of those
buried there. Several persons have placed
such decorations on the graves in the ceme-

denly disappeared.
George V. Emery, secretary of the Call
vary Cemetery Association. whose office is
at No. Is North Tenth street. said yesterday

placing metal wreaths and decorations Of
like nature on the graves.
I'VE have had the superintendent remove
them as soon as they are discovered" said
he. "The order was made to keep the ceme-
terry as beautiful as possible. The wreaths
and other metal devices become rusty and
unsightly. For awhile they were permitted
on the graves. but the order to remove them
is one OF the rules of the association. To
all lot owners We give directions that II
they desire to ascertain anything concern
ing the rules they can inquire of the super
intendent. When they purchase lot It Is
with the understanding they will abide by

Judge Horatio d. Wood impaneled the
February Grand Jury in his division of the
Criminal Court yesterday.
In charging the jurors Judge Wood pre-
sented lengthy instructions. covering eight
typewritten pages. The main point in the
charge was to take up the work where the
last Grand Jury left off and continue the
investigation into election fraud and bribery
charges
Judge Wood quoted freely from the last
Grand Jury's report on these subjects and
commented on the Importance Of protecting
the ballot.
Special stress was laid on that portion of
the report which spoke of the action of the
police in driving the special Deputy Sher-
IFS. armed with warrants. away from the
polls at the last election.
Judge Wood said that as the deputies
were officers Of the law they had as much
right to be at the polls as the police officers
themselves. In all cases where the names
of the officers who interfered with the dep
uties could be ascertained he advised that
indictments be returned. The jury was told
to continue the investigation of the alleged
false registration and indict whenever the
names could be ascertained. Assaults on

said:
IF you find 1t to be a fact that bands
Of men to the number Of fifty or sixty drove
from polling place to polling place, and
hindered. intimidated or in any manner in
terfered with electors In casting their votes,
or were acting as repeaters,' you will indict
all whose names you can ascertain: and II
you find that such persons were aided in
their nefarious work by the police you will
indict such policemen as are accessories. In
this connection you will ascertain whether
such persons SO terroriZing voters or re-
peatfng df such be the facU were employed
by any one for the purposes aforesaid. and.
II so, indict all such parties as accessories"
Judge Wood took up the matter of graft
ing" and gave the following instruction.:
Your attention Is called to certain Of
lenses affecting the administration Of JUS
tce, and more particularly to section a0S3.
which relates to the crime Of perjury COM
mitted in any legal proceeding or matter
before any court, such as making false
affidavit or bail bonds, or falsely testi-
flying in court; to section aoSS. which re-
lates to attempts to corrupt witnesses; and
to section 2041, which relates to attempts at
bribery, or otherwise to induce a witness TO
absent himself from the trial or to avoid
the service of a subpoena upon him. The
Circuit Attorney has intimated to the
Court that he has reason to believe that
offenses under these sections have been

HOPES TO FIND HIS
LONG LOST SON.
John j. Meyer Has Not Seen His
Boy Henry for Twenty
Years.

John Jacob Meyer. a widower. "a years old.
who lives at No. ais Gratiot street. called
at the Four Courts yesterday morning to
procure the aid of the police in locating his
long lost son, whom he has not seen for
twenty years.
At that time the son, Henry Meyer, was
boy of 10 years. and now they would not

grave alone in the world having buried two
wives and his only son among the lost.
Meyer formerly lived at Pittsburg, Pa
When his son was about years old his
wife died. Shortly afterwards he married
again. His second wife did not get along
well with his son. and when they left Pitts
burg the following spring to go to Minne-
sofa the son was left in the care of George
Schaefer. a friend OF the family, at the In
stigation of the stepmother. Two years
afterwards. when Meyer and his wife re-
turned to Pittsburg. they found Schaefer
had moved to Utica. n. Y, and taken
Harry with him. At the request of his wife
Meyer dropped the search
Meyer moved to St. Louis a few years
ago and since has resided here A year

Dot Drawing II the Name Of the Lat
est Amusement for Bright Girls
and Boys.

A new and interesting amusement
for young people is what's known
as "dot drawing." This is best done
on a slate, on which dots have been
lightly drilled with the point of .
knife blade.
There should be square of about
Is dots each way, and they should
be in perfectly even and regular rows.
This will give enough room for almost
any kind of drawing. The advantage
in having the dots on slate consists
in the ease with which lines may be
erased, if necessary, during the work,
without disturbing the dots; on pa
per, it would be much more difficult.
But drawing may be played as a
game. A subject having been selected,
the starter begins anywhere on the
edge OF the square and draws line
from one dot to another. The next

SYMPATHY SEEKERS.
They Are Uncomfortable People, 8
Burden to Themselves and Their
Intimate Friends.

Sympathy is soothing balm for
hurts of soul or body, a precious cor
dial for human ills, but, like other
cordials, one must be careful not to
grow too dependent upon it, and be-
come weakly, unable to bear any hurt
without it's aid. There are many sor-
rows that bring naturally and gra-
ciously their share of coincidence and
tender ministering, but there are other
wounds and heartaches which no hand
but that of the Divine Healer should
be allowed to touch, no eye but His to
penetrate.
Yet there are persons so morbid in
their craving for pity that every woe
must be revealed. The want Of har-
mony in the home, the detection of
friends, the faults of husband, wife,
brother or, sister nothing. is too
sacred or too private to be uncovered
for sympathy. The habit grows with
indulgence until every skeleton in the
closet, every pickering at the dinner
table, every disappointment and I'M
happiness, is made the property Of the
neighborhood. .
Life may be hard, but to rob it of all
dignity maleesitharder still, while, jeal-
ousy and heartburnings increase ten
fold by being put into words. The
bluff Roman warrior, Coriolanus, was
right; he could bear wounds for his
country's>sake, but he could not ,ex-
,hibit the scars to win pity or praise
from the populace.-Wellspring. u

TIP for the Electric Fan.

A social worker who has had o.
casion to inspect most of the So
called sweatshops in New York gave
it as his belief that the person who
invented the electrical fans got his
idea from the funny little tailors
and their sewing-machines. It has
been an old practice with these work.
men in warm weather, said the agent,
to use the power in their machines
to fan themselves. This they accom-
plish by tying pieces Of stiff card
board to the spokes of the fly or
balance wheel, and, s5as they work
tho pedal with their feet, the card
board on the wheel cuts the air like
. small pinwheel and plays the aiy
upon the face Of the tailor.

THE WOMAN OF PO1SE.
Her Restfulness Is Not the Result Of
+ Accident But Of self-Educations
Along Right Lines. =. r..

The woman of poise is restful to
those with whom She comes in contact.
10 the woman aspiring to this enviable
state of mental equilibrium, of con-
trolled power, I would say: First, re-
member to be saving of your nervous
force. Do not dissipate your strength
upon meaningless movements of
hands. feet, eyes or head. Let each mo-
ton have a purpose, and expend no
more strength upon it than it calls for.
Learn to relax and keep the body in
that state except so far as some men,
Der of it is called upon for action. Do
not give strong grasp where a light
touch will do the work. Learn to be
like an elastic band, which stretches
no more than is required, and the
strain removed returns at once to it's
normal condition. Second, it is trite to
say: Don't worry" SO shall modify
the advice and make it possible to fol-
low by saying: "Don't worry unneces-
sarily." With most women worry be-
comes a habit, and ha bits are hard to
break, this one par ticularly. But it
can be done. Sit down some day and
think how few impending calamities
ever get beyond the potential stage.
Worry if you must, but do not begin
before it is time. Life's tangles have a
way of Strengthening out when we
come close to them. Third, talk much
or little, as is natural for you, but be
sure that when you speak you say
something. Endeavor to put individ.
uality, which is very different thing
from eccentricity, into your remarks
Let your speech, even though it be
about trifles, have pith and point. In
conversation, as in most things, it is
well to have goal. The mention of a
goal suggests a word about what is
perhaps, aside from nerves, the great.
est enemy to poise. This is aimless.
ness. Too many women are aimless in
their talk, aimless in their actions
aimless in their lives. Thus they frit'
ter away the forces which, if concen.
trated, would result in that useful and
tremendously beautiful product OF
civilization, the highest type of won.

a SAMPLE OF DOT DRAWING.

player takes up the line where the first
one left off and draws to another dot,
and so on, until the slate comes back
to the starter, who ontinues the work,
passing the slate to the next, as at
first.
No one can make more than one
short line between two dots at one
time, and it is not allowed to pass be-
tween dots to make long line. Every
line must be from one dot to the next
one, straight up or down, or right or
left, or diagonally between those four
points, making eight directions in all,
in any of which the line may be drawn.
The picture must extend to the four
edges of the square, and if any player,
by an error in drawing, makes this i'm
possible, he should drop out of the
game. The player making the finishing
stroke has the privilege of naming the
next subject. If the game be played
for prize, the winner is the one that
makes the finishing stroke on most
of the pictures drawn.
There is not only amusement, but in
struction in this pretty exercise, for it
gives one good general knowledge OF
drawing. - Cincinnati Commercial
