Diamonds cut diamonds; they who will prove
To thrive in cunning must cure love with love.
The three words opening the above

recalled by New Orleans man, who tells
how he first heard the expression in 1S45,

mired fashy diamond breastpin worn

quietly laughing. He says nothing, and
on reaching the city he goes into jewell

counter to examine the diamond.

A then bargains with the jcweler for a
handsome money consideration to set a
genuine diamond in that pin. and next
day he returns to the race track.
II and the gang smile broadly when A
comes around.
What are you laughing at?" he que
ries.

Later A, having had the false diamond
reset in the pin. meets B and offers to re-
turn the diamond to him on payment Of

valued at 81 200.

PREPARED
Ills Own Funeral Grafton Years
In Advance of Death.

Leadville, Colo, Nov. 11-Funeral
services were held here over the re-
mains of A. J. Searlc, one of the best
known mining men of this district,
and commander of the local Grand
Army Post. Mr.. Searle wrote his own
funeral sermon long before he died,
and 1t was read at his funeral in lieu
of any religious service, which he
strictly forbade. In his sermon he
wrote that he had long been convinc-
ed that all religions are Of human
origin. and are frauds that can only
gain credence through ignorance and
superstition, and declared that he
could not form any idea Of soul that
was to live after his body was dead,
The sermon written by the dead man
was lengthy one, and outside Of his
peculiar views on religion, contained
some beautiful thoughts. Through
his long business career he was never
heard to utter one word against the
church.

Production Of Great
Beauty.
"Over Niagara Falls" Pleased
Mondays Audiences at Grand.

One Of the cleverest scenic produc-
tions that has been In Akron for some
time is "over Niagara Falls" which
opened at the Grand Monday for three
days, with daily matinees There is
something new, fresh and bright about
the staging Of the piece alone, which
appeals to the audience Immediately,
and prejudices the people in favor of
the play almost before the action has
begun. 10
The play itself is stirring, there are
constant opportunities for dramatic
success and the company works hard
The audiences Monday were perhaps
smaller than they will be the re-
mainder of the engagement, but they
made up in their admiration for the
handsome scenery and applause for
the cast, what they lacked in numbers.
The scenes are laid in New York state,
and include Indian characters and
their troubles.
OF course the wrongs are righted in
the end and true love comes out of the
business triumphant, while the vii
lains and villainess get all that's COM
ing to them. 1t is predicted that many
people will see "Over Niagara Falls"
during the engagement in Akron.
