Lapeer, Mich, May lS.--Although w.
b. Suttons funeral was held last
Thursday, his body remains unburied.
Enclosed in casket, and surrounded
by flowers, It still rests in his old
home, and it will be committed to the
grave some time this week. probably.
The aged widow was so much affect
ed by her partners death that It
even the relief of tears was afforded
her.
She acquiesced in all the arrange
ments excepting those for the inter
ment, and as soon as this was men
TONED she protested. She could not
bear TO part with even the dead BODY
OF her husband. He had died far
away, in Seattle, and to bury him now
would make too sudden a separation.
SO the beloved corpse remains with
her, and she spends her time with it,
mourning, dry eyed. her bereavement.

II you are sick and out-of-sorts, it is in your

II you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgia,
dyspeptic, or have the shadows of disease
lowering over you; if you are not as bright,
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks

tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the

serious of the allega lions
He said that if those officials al
lowed improper accounts TO be audited

difference which existed between
charges of irregularity and of actual
violation OF law. "A government Of

which he has no authority TO purchase,
and no authority 10 pay for but the
government gets the use of the article,
nevertheless. irregularities do not nee

Below this pathetic and suggestive
inscription is carved this verse
"oh' fate severe, is then my Pauline
From earth to hcav'n her angel spirits
fed;

But still more pathetic and perhaps
more suggestive is the following cut

age Of verse and expression of eighty
years ago-les the daughter Of a king
"a princess who had the blood of an
emperor in her veins This is the
story.
When Joseph Bonaparte, exking OF
Spain, under stress Of European poll
tics. settled in this state and became
a Jerseyman, his gracious manner and
royal bearing were the magnets for
scores OF beautiful eyes He fell
under the charm of one pair whose,
no one now knows, for the years have
wiped out the stain and obiterated
the name.
Anyhow. a child, girl, was born,
an American princess who with the
mother was left behind when Joseph
went back to Europe. The child died
and lrdcr the name of Holton was
buried seventy nine years ago in the
churchyard Of st. Michael's, then the
oldest church in New Jersey.
Ever since the grave and the monu.
ment have been kept in perfect re-
pair. An enigmatical clause in the
will Of Joseph, leaving a certain sum
for a certain secret specific purpose,
is supposed to have applied to the
support Of the American mother of his
child, the "bereft mother" of the
monument.
No one has ever succeeded in I'm.

an enigma. The only solution is the
one given above. which has come
down through eight decades as the
true story Of the romance of a king Of
