Proof Of Presence Of Skeleton In

The late Emerson Bennett of Phila-
delphia was in his prime the most
popular American author. He was the
star of Robert Bonner's New York
Ledger staff, and certain of his books
The Prairie Flower" and The
Phantom of the Forest''-had circu-
lation that would be thought enormous
even now.
Mr.. Bennett was over 80 years old
when he died. He was so unfortunate
as to have outlived his fame. Never
theless. he continued cheerful to the
end. and in the Masonic home, where
his last days were passed his humor
was priced highly.
Mr.. Bennett often used to talk about
Robert Bonner at the home. This is
one of the Bonner stories that he
sometimes told:
Bonner one day was criticising hu
man nature cynically. A clergyman
took up the cudgel in human nature
defense.
"There is good in all of us he said
more good than bad believe that "
ner cent of us have never done any
thing for which there is real cause u
be ashamed"
Nonsense" said Mr.. Bonner

have coniectured Is true"
Why think so will tell you. He

Mrs. Hamilton's confident assertion
carried great weight with her listener
until a doubt hurled from the regions
OF nowhere struck against II. How"

Mrs. Hamilton, with emotion. as she
shook hands with the young man.
