In spite OF cloudy skies, anc inter
mittent showers, the celebration OF
Memorial day Saturday was success.
There was big crowd in town, and
it Is hard to tell how many would
have been here had the day been a
pretty one.
The morning was given up 10 the
parade and the exercises at the graves
Of the soldiers. These were very APP
propriate and impressive. 1.-The
Star Spangled Banner was played by
the Glass workers band. After prayer
by the Chaplain aud an address by
the Commander of Hoffman Post,
from the ritual, Hon. b. r. Doyenor
ana uon. Aston G. Dayton were in
troduced. Both OF these gentlemen
made short, but stirring speeches,
paying high tribute TO the deeds OF
ihe dead being honored, and rejoicing
in the reunion of the sections.
A salute OF the dead was fired ty
Company B, West Virginia University
Corps of Cadets. Company L was to
have done this but did not join the
parade.
Flowers were strewn 10 prosusion
on the graves OF all the soldiers. In
fact there was hardly a grave 10 the
cemetery that was not decked With
flowers by loving hands. The ladies
had charge OF this aud carried II out
admirably.

formed, and marched up Front street

Capt. Richmoud p Hubson delight
ed all who heard him. His theme
was the civil war, the greatest wal
in the history OF nations. He showed
that the percentage of casualties In
the civil war, on both sides, was
greater than in the wars Of Hannibal,
Willington, Napoleon, or any OF the
great military leaders OF Europe. Its
battles were more bloody than those
OF Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis.
Hastings or Waterloo. The speaker
was frequently interrupted with APP
plause, and the hearts Of the old
soldiers were stirred by his ringing
words.

A Splendid Joke.

A real good joke has crept out on
Bryan Gordon, Of MorgantcwD, who
Engineered the lot sale at Newburg a
few days ago, and B. & o. engineer
Frank Menifee. OF Newburg, and, al
though it has been rather long In tell
Ing, it is entirely too good to keep says
the Grafton Sentinel.
On the day of the lot sale Messrs.
! Gordon and Menifee were passing
| through the town of Newburg along
about the noon hour, when, 10 passing
by the window of private residence,
they spied a BEAUTIFULLY crisp and mel
low pie that had been set q the win
dow sill to cool. The temptation was
more than they could Withstand, and
after looking about carefully to see
IL they were unobseryed, they swiped
the pie and little later made was
with it 10 the good, old fashioned
manner. 1t tasted good, in fact way
as good as their mothers used to make,
and the two young men naturally felt
very much elated over the streak of
good fortune that had befallen them.
But now comes the housekeeper's part
of the story. Mrs. Yarnell had pre-
pared an exceedingly good dinner for
company, "and this dinner was 10 no
wise considered by a careful house
keeper as being complete without the
pie, and when she discovered it miss
ing she Immediately set about to find
what had become Of it. Getting a
good clue to the marauders, the lady
sent for police officer. and in about
two shakes Messrs Gordon and Menu
fee found themselves very neatly plac-
ed under arrest for stealing pie.
They wanted to ''tip" the officer to
lett hem go, but be wasn't the "tip-
ping" kind, so the prisoners must per-
force appear before the mayor OF the
city, who upon hearing the evidence
in the case, assessted tthe usual fine

something like five dollars in
all. The only thing that spoiled this
joke was the fact that the mayor e.
nally RENTED the fine, acknowledging
at the same time that it was the best
joke of the season. He should have
collected the amount and had pie
social that very evening for the bene-
