THE DAYS OF GRAVE ROBBERY.
scoundrelIy Sexton Nearly Victim OF
Indignant Citizens.

In my boyhood an aged doctor told
me many grewsome stories or the
days when as much as G20 was some
times given by lecturers on anatomy
for a single stolen corpse. In his life
of the great surgeon, Sir Ashley
Cooper, Mr.. Bransby Cooper says that
two resurrecticnists, by bribing the
grave digger Of private burial
ground near Holywell Mount, secured
six bodies a night until two rival
body snatchers threatened to expose
this sexton unless he admitted them
also to share in the spols.
The sexton denounced them as body
snatchers to some laborers in
neighborng public house. who rushed
after the resurrectionists 20 tear them
in pieces. They, however, gained the
refuge Of the police office, and there
in turn denounced the SEXTON as hav-
ing sold every body which had re-
Gently been inferred in Holywell
Mount graveyard.
The laborers, thus diverted, rushed
to the burial ground, broke open the
gates, dug up the recent graves, and,
finding all the collins empty, they
seized the sexton and proceeded to
bury him alive. He was rescued with
difficulty by the police, but his house
was wrecked and his wife and chill
dren were dragged through the streets
and soused and nearly drown in a
oesspool.-T. p. OConnor in M. A. p.

Dollie Milburn was the cutest and
happiest and cosiest little bride in
all Millville. She was so very young
perienced, and altogether so saucy
and dancing and childishly irrespon-
sible, that the older girls still un-
married agreed that it was really a
shame that such a chit Of child
should be allowed to marry and real
ly It must be a great trial to Harry.
Harry, however. managed to strug-
gle along very nicely under the load
Of his child wife. In fact, shocking
as 1t may seem to appear, he seemed
positively to like it. The truth Is,
Cupid himself had taken possession
of the Milburn home and the young
couple were living one long dream OF
bliss. OF course Harry was COM
PEELED to spend long hours down
town doing foolish things in order
that the home could be maintained.
But that was only incidental and to
be put up with in order that the de-
lightful little dolls house could exist
and have its being.
So Harry went whistling to his
work among the musty law books
and Dollie sang away the day serene
In the assurance that he would soon
return.
One bright morning when nature It.
sci. seemed in the ecstatic mood OF
the young couple. Dollie stood on the
little front porch, watching for Har.

And the Grocer's Comments Can Not

At Thanksgiving time Lucius Hill,
leading grocer of Augusta, Me-, found
himself somewhat overstocked with
turkeys. On the evening before
Thanksgiving, as he was going home
to supper. he pointed to a particular
bird that was somewhat below the 9th

had bought it. Fred informed him
that he had sold 1t to Mrs. Mulqueen,

IL was then that the great tragedy
of her life happened. AS she was
picking up the coat preparatory to
hanging 1t neatly upon frame, as
was her loving custom, letter
dropped from one of the pockets,-a
dainty little sc are envelope such as
women use, and carrying the odor Of
delicate perfume. 1t fell addressed
side up, and the superscription lay
there on the bed SO close before her
eyes that she could not help seeing
1t. The address was written in a
delicate feminine hand: Harry Mil
burn, Esq, Room $50. Security Build
ing, City," and down IA the corner
was the word, Personal"
The incident gave her distinct
shock. She stopped her merry
whistling in the middle of a bar and
looked at the bit Of paper with an
expression of annoyance growing on
her face. What woman was this,
writing scented notes to Harry? And
why was 1t marked personal and why
had he not told her about It? She
leaned forward and examined the
date stamped on the envelope. 1t
was four days old. And he had not
said word to her about 1t. Good
heavens! was he deceiving her? Was
there another woman? Was he un-
true? She gave little shrek at
the very thought.
Then she laughed. 1t was all most
vtA hn
thing and was making mountain
out of a moie-hill. Surely a lawyer
has to receive communications from
clients and witnesses and-and all
sorts OF people. Harry was a man of
affairs and not simply plaything to
have about the house. She started
to whistle again, when the word per.
sonal" caught her eye. She stopped
again in the middle of a bar and her
face again commenced to wrinkle
with perplexity.
81 will read the letter and find
out" she said. Then she blushed and
drew back. The very thought of such
a thing filed her with shame.
She determined to put the whole
matter out of her mind and went on
about her work. But the green-eyed
monster had slipped one little tenta
Gle into her young heart and some
how she could not whistle or sing
as she worked, and her rebellious
mind would forever turn to that bill
of paper lying on the bed, for she
had not had the courage to touch 1t
Late in the afternoon she made uI
her mind to give Harry good fright
anyway. Then he would explain and
they would make up In the most love
ly manner. And she smiled ant
blushed softly at the thought Of the
making up.
So when Harry arrived at early
dusk he found no outstretched arms
to greet him on the little front
porch. Bounding inside In disappoint

her knees beside the bed, with hel

"Dollie." he exclaimed. what II

HssE ra An INSPIRING THEME.
What Sound Tariff Legislation Has
Done for the Country.

Had il not been for Republican tar
i'll legislation the United States might
still be an agricultural country almost
solely. as ii was in Jefferson's days.
and as IL remained along to the time OF
the Republicans entrance into power.
The Republican house OF representa-
uves elected in 1858, in the middle OF
Buchanan's term, passed the Morrill,
tarin bill, which went through the
Democratic senate after the Republic
ans gained control of IL through the
retirement of the southern members
who followed their states into the con-
federacy. AS Pennsylvania was one OF
the leading champions of the bill, Blu
chanan signed il just before he stepped
out of office. From that hour to the
present the aim of the Republicans has
beer to give adequate protection to
every domestic industry which needed
protection. This policy has been fol
lowed continuously, except in the case
OF the "perfidy and dishonor" Demo
cratic tariff OF 1894. which the RepNb-
iicans displaced by the Dingley tariff
when they reentered power in 1897.
As a consequence of this wise Repub
hcan legislation, the United States
went to the front as a manufacturing
nation in 1880, beating England in that
year. Our lead over that country.
which is our nearest rival, has been
constantly lengthening in the past
quarter of n century. Under Repub.
hcan tariffs our exports of all sorts OF
merchandise have increased, but the
gain has been especially large in
manufactures. In this field country's
capabilities and intelligence are put To
the supreme test, for there the com
petition IS strongest in the markets
OF the world. BY that test the United
States has won notable conquests. and
the Republican party has achieved tri-
umphs which are the pride of its own
members and of the American people
in general. Ii was in 1900 that Count
Goluchowski, the Austrian minister Of
foreign affairs, declared that Europe
would be compelled to combine to re-
sist the American commercial inva.
sion, If Europe intended to retain it's
industrial independence. For Europe
the American commercial invasion"
as shown by our exports of 5000 600.
900 OF manufactures, is far more por-
tentious to-day than 1t was six years
ago. Here is an inspiring theme for
Republican stump speakers for the
congressional campaign of 1906-St.
