Corpse Came from Dunn Mine.
Official Investigation has
Been Made of the Brutal
Affair.

Last Tuesday as Mrs Ralph Waite
was fixing up grave in the cemetery
she noticed what seemed TO be a little
skirt lling on the ground She went
over to where the cloth lay and found
that il protrnded from box that
was lying on top Of the ground. She
opened the box and found therein an
infant child dead. The little one was

head. 1t was wrapped up in news

at once called Sexton Massie over to
where the box lay and he recovered it

II is Thought that the affair con tains

brutal part of the procedure being
the neglect Of the party to bury the
child after taking it to the cemetery
The officers are endeavoring to bring

Mon Dieu! Who thinks about dignity
now? Dignity went out some time in

He laughed
There certainly is not much of it left.
Nowadays, as you say, money does
everything. But nothing which it does
for you is worth anything. 1t can buy
you pleasure by the ton. but never an
ounce of happiness. You can get by it a
crowd Of the most distinguished kind to
, sit at your table, a hundred houses to
stay at, too much to eat, too much to
| drink, and, if you will, coronet. Also
many other things quite as silly and
many much more unwholesome. That is

Men and women? To make love to

Combined with this affection and ap-
