and from a certain cemetery, vouches
for this story:
A woman boarded his car at the
cemetery the other day shaking with
sobs. She had not been in the car long
when two women took seats opposite
her. One of them seemed to recog-
nize the woman from the cemetery,
hesitated moment, then crossed the
aisle and spoke to her. The sobbing
one looked up and the Identification
was complete.
"Why, Mary" said the woman who
had crossed the aisle, where have you
been for so long, and what is the mat
ter?"
II have been married" came the
sob-brokcn answer, "and I'm just after
cremating my husband"
Condolences were offered and the
widow soon after left the car, appar.
entity cheered, while her friend return
ed to the seat beside her companion.
and told all that Mary had unbosoMed
to her.
"And she's got husbands to burn"
remarked the companion. enviously,

Why She Felt Lenient Toward the

A great deal depends on the point Of

led, in a very peculiar way. to revise

poor devil who cannot resist his cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes:

miles less than the track laid in 1908,
and is the smallest mileage completed
in any year since 1898, when 1888 miles
were built.
Complete returns from Canada show
that S2S.64 miles of new road were COM

Of this, 439.7 miles were built by the
Canadian Northern on ten lines and 10l

"For the year 1905 there is promise
of great activity in railway building.
Before the year 1904 closed there were
evidences of a revival following the
slump in the summer of 1908, and with
the opening of spring these evidences
are growing stronger. Last year was
devoted largely to the completion Of
lines, but now fresh projects are taking
life, and almost daily contracts are be-

of 800 miles is now under construc-
