A SKELETON UNEARTHED.

The ruins a few miles south of Tenn De have been the source of much pleas ure to those interested in such things, in times gone ,by. and a great many interesting and curious relics have been found there but for the past few years but little has been done as it was thought that nearly everything had been dug up that was of value. But Jrecently June Roseberry and Leonard Cocby, who live near there have been putting in their spare moments on one of the large ruins on the poach, place and their efforts have not been alto gether in vain. Tuesday they came up- on the remains of a huge skeleton in perfect condition. The peculiar part of it was it's extreme size. The skull in particular was much larger than that of the ordinary man. There was per feet set of teeth and the rest of the bones were likewise. a great many skel- etons have been found in that vicinity but none have every equalled this one. The parties are still working on the ruin and are in hopes of finding more relics.

NEW SHORT STORIES
when Grant Wa. Easily sati.ned.

When Grant Was Easily Satisfied.
One rainy night in the autumn as
Mark Twain was leaving a theater on
Broadway, New York, he heard a voice
which was entirely strange to him ut
ter these suggestive words, "They say
General Grant is going to write his
memoirs after ALL"
Mr.. Clemens saw neither the man
nor his companion, but regarded the
voice as essentially providential. He
was at that time a partner in the ex-
tremely successful firm of Charles l..
Webster & Co. and considered himself
in luck to have heard so early in the
transaction the news Of General
Grants intention to write the book.
Early the next morning he sent in his
card ut the generals residence and was
received by the latter in the library,
where he was evidently at work at that
very time upon the story of his life.
