COMEDY IN A CEMETERY.
Old Chestnut Seller of Genoa and Her
Fortune Hunting Spouse.

Fortune Hunting spouse.
1t does not seem possible that one
could run across a comedy in such q
solemn place as cemetery, yet there
is, so the optimist assures US, little
the romance of the old chestnut seller
of Genoa and the chagrin of her for
tune hunting spouse, both of whom
figure IN the local gossip and one OF
whom is immortalized in marble In
the Campo Santo, one must admit that
the situa ton is not without its lighter
side The most serious minded smile
as they read the inscription which the
shrewd old lady commanded the sculp-
tor to chisel on her tomb.
Not so many years ago, so the story
runs, one of the best known figures In
the streets of Genoa was that Of an old
woman who made n living selling
chestnuts She was without beauty,
but was gifted with quality which no
doubt stood l.r in better stead-a ma
tive shrewdnesS which enabled her to
buy her wares prudently and to sell
them with profit. 1t does not require
large income to live In Genoa, espe-
cially when one has not acquired ex-
travagant tastes, so gradually the for
tune of the worthy toiler grew and
finally became large enough to be talk
ed about A lad more noted for his
good looks than for principle or iHtel-
lect caught the rumor of the fortune,
sought the chestnut merchant and
made straight for her heart, which was
not long in responding. The subse-
quent marriage of the pair caused the
knowing ones to smile.
After short honeymoon it was
brought to the notice of interested
neighboIs that the young husband was
in search of work. His elderly bride
disclaimed all knowledge of the rumor-
ed fortune and said that, as she was
almost without penny, she expected
that he, too, would put his shoulder to
the wheel Between them a comforta-
bic home might be supported and an
occasional evening at the theater might
be enjoyed. Not even yet having given
up hope that the fortune would one
day appear, the young husband led for
time an exemplary life, but finally
patience gave place to encouragement,
and loves young dream was shattered.
Several years later the deserted wife
died, and, like n mushroom in the
night, sprang up in conspicuous place
in the Campo Santo handsome monu-
ment representing, aside from the plot
which it occupied. a snug fortune. The
marble statue, of life size, represents
the old lady. dressed in full gathered
skirt, silk apron, fringed shawl and
rosary wound around her fingers. Lest
there should be n doubt about the his
tory of the original and her romance
the entire story is set upon the pedes-
tai of the statue. explaining how the
lady had been wooed. not. as she knew
at the time, for her beauty or her vir
tue. but for her fortune. and how she
had thwarted her mercenary lover by
the purchase of this lasting memorial,
which not only represented her hus-
bands disappointment, but might also
serve as a warning to others. The
statue is one of the most striking in
the entire place.-Leslie's Weekly.

in an unchurchly play: and after flying
off thus at a naughty tangent as a
thief, she now returns to Brooklyn as
the sirenic Lola Mfntez. Yet Cecil is
not altogether to blame. Mamma
Spooner had her taught to dance with
her nimble feet to fence with foils- in
her agile hands. to wear the trousers
of a tOmboy, and. SO it now seems,s TO

J. Scarf Dawley took the job to write
play for Cecil, he was told that she
must have good chances to dance, to
fence, to wear trousers and to say
damn That is why the tabby-cats
and softy-kits of BeecherviIle are
shocked to ecstasy by beholding Cecil
Spooner, in another theatre than her
mammals. making believe she is that
dreadful Lola Montez.
A wonder-gtrl is Cecil Lola Montez
Spooner. She knows the tune of Yam
kee Doodle before it is composed, and
dances a Spanish fandango TO it in
King Louis garden at Munich. She an
ticipates negro cake-walking, too, and
blends it with the ambling of the seduc-
tive senorita, She organizes labor
revolt in Bavaria, although uniOnism is
in the far future anywhere. And she is

King Louis, her conduct is marked,

How md When to Eat.

There are a few plain facts about
how and when to eat which it would
be worth a mans while to keep in
mind even when well. If you are in a
hurry, eat lightly. There is no virtue
In gulping down large meal just be-
cause it is mealtime. While the mind
is actively engaged in the details and
responsibilities of business the diges-
tive apparatus is in no condition to
undertake heavy work. The blood sup
ply is drained off elsewhere, giving ali
the contribution 1t can to the brain,
and If quantity of food be taken
IN it simply remains undigested in
the stomach. Worry, unsettled mind,
low spirits, all tend to delay or to
stop the activities Of the aIimentary
canal. Students who go at hard head
work Immediately after meals often
suffer from Indigestion So do letter
carriers and other people whose meals
are followed by prolonged physical ex-
ertion. Indeed, any kind of effort
which forces the blood flow away from
the alimentary region Is injurious after
hearty eating-Dr. Gulick in Worlds
! Work.

An Easy merk.

The following is told as having oc-
Cured in the lobby of the Palmer
House, Chicago:
A guest came in from the street.
took off his overcoat. folded it care
fully and placed 1t over the back of a
chair and then sat on 1t, producing a
newspaper and soon becoming alb
sorbed in its contents. Before long a
stranger tapped him on the shoulder
and politely asked II he would please
get up and let him have the overcoat
he was sitting on. The guest obliging-
" arose and handed his own coat to
the stranger and then seating himself
again continued to read the paper.
Suddenly it dawned upon him that he
had made fool of himself. He be-
came excited, and rushing over to the
desk told the clerk the circumstances
of the robbery.
The clerk listened patiently and
then quietly said: 'Tn tell you what
to do. You go back and sit where you
were and wait; then when the rascal
comes and asks for your shoes you
can nab him. Short Stories.

Indian Medicine Bags.

The medicine bags Of Navajoes, Zu-
MIA and Apaches, all kindred tribes,
contain a curious powder known as
corn pollen or hoddentin. This DOW
der, which is the pollen of a rush and
also Of maize, appears to be used as
a medicine, being eaten by the sick
and put on the head or other parts to
ease pain, but principally as a sacred
offering to the sun and moon and as a
sanctifier Of everything. A pinch of 1t
is thrown toward the sun and then to-
ward the four winds for help in war
or the chase. Is put on the trail of a
snake to prevent harm from 1t, placed
on the tongue of the tired hunter as a
restorative, hung In bags round the
necks of infants as a preservative and
sprinkled on the dead. In fact, every
action Of these Indians is sanctifed
by this powder, SO that, as Captain
Bourke writes in the ninth volume of

nology" (Smithsonian). plenty of
hoddentin has come TO mean that q

Will Try Steel Ties.

The Pennsylvania railroad has de-
ctded to make an exhaustive test of
steel ties. 1t will put down 1000 of
them between Plttsburg and Altoona
and near Pomeroy. Pa, where there is
as heavy traffic as of any part of the
system. II these steel ties stand the
test the company will use hundreds of
thousands of them annually, but if
they fail to meet the requirements the
company will not make any further
experiments with steel ties, but will
plant thousands of trees. with the idea
of using wooden ties exclusively in the
future.
