PARIS. November 11.-Horribe crimes
have been committed by two boys, aged
twelve at Bordeaux. They have confessed
to robbing two freshly made graves in
church yard of the town. in both of which
infants had been buried. The remains were
disinterred by the two precocious criminals
and scattered. One of the boys actually
led the police to one of the graves and
thence to chapel, through the window OF
which the bodyAhad been thrown. The re-
mains were duly found in the place indi-
Gated.
The boys say that while in the cemetery
playing they had thought OF opening the
graves to steal any trinkets which might
have been buried in the coffins. They APP

A little variety to the crank file is fur

with the new street gowns. Oh
course. with the low boots
spats should be worn, and
these are being shown in the
same colors. Spats are also
being worn with patent leath-
or boots in ColorS to match all
the gown.

Without more ado they hurried from

long streets the Oft repeated cry Of

every window hung the big sun flag of
the empire. Across every thoroughfare
were innumeritble archways and lines
of japanese lanterns, bunting and ban

Houses of officials high in the service
of the Mikado were visited and the Off

and make speeches telling of the great

power. 1t was an old story and their
hearers knew it well, but it could not be
repeated too often that day.

The widow hesitated-the General was

Yes She would marry him when they

For time the general was satisfied
But his loneliness grew upon him. Every

be good thing for them to see some
thing Of the world. My home was
broken up by the war: my husband died
just at the close of the war. I thought.
perhaps, 1 could remain in America.
l came to do my duty to my sons.
On the way met the general on our
ship His wife died a year ago last
November; he was very sad and dis
consolate. He thought he, too. would
come to America to get away from the
old scenes and the sad memories. He
is good man, a very religious man
He is not all ordained minister of our
church-the, Reformed German Evan
gelical Church-but he Ia deacon. and
1t is deacon's duty to preach to the
people. So he held service on the shin.
1t took US thirty-two days to cross the
ocean. During that time I became well
acquainted with him, but no thought of
other than friendship came over ne
mind-he gave me no hint-,IntfI he
came to see me about year ago
Then he read to me from the Bible, as
was his custom. That morning, how
ever, he did not read the Psalm for
the day, but quoted all about marriage.
The general knows ahe Bible-every
word of it-he does not really have to
read it; he can tell it to you.
Well, when he argued that we ought
to- marry, and hacked up his argument
Yes
Why shouldn't we marry? He is
alone and so am /. His children are all
n>arried-he has given every one of
them fine farms. Two of my sons are
married, and my two daughters are
married We did not intend to marry
until we returned to South Africa, but
when the general had my promise he
refused to wait.
Il know it may seem foolish, but we
hearts.
WHY, when I went downtown the
other morning 1 told the general that
I would be back in two hours, but the
cars were blocked and we were delayed
He walked back and forth between the
tent and the entrance all the forenoon.
AS soon "a I returned j rushed up to
his tent to see him. He was not there.
I felt very lonely and disappointed in
not seeing him. He had gone to meet
me and we missed each other"
