CrCmwell's Burial Place,

The thirty acres of this great GENE
terry (Abney Park include the site of
another large old house and its
grounds, Fleetwood House, once the
residence of General Fleetwood and
his wife, who was Bridget, the daugh
ter of Oliver Cromwell. This sight is to
the right of the avenue, and there one
summer day, among older and palmer
tombstoneS than those of the Abney,
or opposite, side, | saw men moving
the long grass and presently came up
on mound inclosed with an iron rail
The mound itself was covered with
ivy, but trimmed so that one could
read on a red granite slab the words,
This mound was a favOrite retirement
of the late Isaac Watts, d. D., Ira
dttiOn says he loved that mound lie
cause from it he could see the open
country. It is now hemmed in by
houses, but the mound is still solitary.
Another tradition tells of a rumor cur
rent soon after Cromwelrs death to
the effect that the Protectors body
was not in the coffin that was buried
with regal pOmp in the abbey, but had
been secretly brought down to his
daughters house and laid to rest where
now is the mound.-Christian World

to get to bed early. The scheme
worked. But then she forgot to turn
the clock back and, having numerous
young men friends, she also very care

night the young man called again.

Biologists tell US that the gently
rounded hills which add so much to the
beauty of our country were originally
shady ridges and peaks, which have been
worn down by action of rain, sun, frost
and wind until they have lost their rug
ged and forbidding outlines and become
pleasant features of our landscapes and
sites for happy and comfortable homes.
/ Time and attrition have done it. The
same factors also round the edges of
our lawn mowers and carving knives.
| Time and attrition work wonders in
other ways. Lapse of years. and fric-
ton of new and other cares assuage old
griefs and blunt the sharpness of old
hates and enmities. Therefore, why
! fret and worry over trivial annoyances
of today? The old saying runs: "a
hundred years from now it will not mat
/ ter" but the time limit for the recol-
lection of most of the things which we
permit to annoy US might be fixed at a
much shorter period than a century.
Tomorrow will obliterate the memory
Of most Of them. Leave behind all the
trouble you can, for you will always find
an abundant supply on the way.
This is the way Jim Litzinger's Graf
ton Leader roasts the Grafton Mayor
and City Council, the clipping below APP
pearing in the Leader of last week.
Evidently Litzinger is after the Mayors
scalp for some act either of omission
or commission, Or mayhap, it is only be-
cause the mayor and majority of coun-
Gil are Republicans. Read it anyway:
"Our knot-headed and powder-faced
mayor is about as well qualified for the
position he holds as Lilliputian iackass
to preside over the Senate of the United
States. The disgusting stage is far
past, and the pitiable stage has to be
terribly magnified to atone in the least
| for his vacuum. The clerk is so incom-
petent that one Of his supporters got
cramps while having to listen to the
reading Of the minutes. With remark
able few exceptions, there is not brains
enough in council to catch mild head
ache. No man Of brains can visit coun-
Gil thirty minutes without losing partial
faith in the wisdom of our manner of
selecting our city officers. Where is
there a man in Grafton who would risk
the management of his private business
Gf he has any to the present council?
Isn't it about time to apply little com
mon horse sense in the selection of our
candidates for mayor and council? One
year of the present gang ought to salts
fly even the most indifferent and the
least Interested
