Pottstown, Pa.-Every night for
two weeks W. H. r. Roth, . rising
young engineer. has sat at the side
of q comm, looking on the face of his
dead wife and holding a stir, icy hand
In his own. While earth was being
thrown ON the comm in Mount Zion
cemetery Roth ordered the work to
stop. He declared he could not bear
to see the body of his wife hidden by
clay, and that he would watch the
white, fixed face by night and every
day lay fresh flowers on the CONN.
Roth's actions have caused great
uneasiness to his relatives and
friends. He is keeping the body in
an undertaker's shop until vault IL
built In the cemetery. He has given
orders that the vault be airy and light
SO that he can go there and continue
his vigils.
The mans wife was Miss Della
Irene Rhoades, daughter Of Squire
Rhoades. one of the foremost citizens
of the town. She was married on her
nineteenth birthday. Just two years
ago, the bridegroom being two years
the elder. The girls father furnished
q home for the couple. and as Roth
occupied profitable position and had
h prospect Of going into business for
himself. life looked rosy for the
couple. A boy was born about six
months ago. Mrs. Roth was in splen-
did health all summer until late in
August, when she fell III, and in two
days was dead.
The funeral day was set. Roth
wanted to delay 1t Indefinitely. but
was arbitrarily overruled by his rela-
tives. It was with diniculty he was
iniuced to go to the cemetery. Final.
" when he consented to enter car.
riage he rode all the way to Mount
Zion without speaking word. He
sat with his elbows ON his knees and
his face. in his hands. and until the
cemetery was reached 1t was impos.
Isible to rouse him.
The grave was lined with moss and
ferns, and Roth. looking into 1t, ex-
pressed the belief 1t was Just as his
wife would have wished 1t. He was
contained until the first shovelful Of
earth was dropped ON the comm. The
minister had Just spoken the last
prayer, when Roth became frantic at
the sound Of the thump Of the clay
on the comm lid.

Men gathered around and protested
quietly, but the man would not listen.
He waved them all away. and then In

There was tense silence, and
Roth cried out:
"Why do you delay? Take Bella
out or I'll do 1t myself"

The Girls who Are snapped up.
COLORADO

The Girls Who Are Snapped Up.
All young men are not silly. and apt
to be fascinated by pretty face when
more enduring charms are lacking.
Marriage Is a serious affair, and thus
they contemplate 1t when looking Tor
a wife. II is no wonder, then. says the
New York Weekly. that the girls de-
scribed below are the first to be
snapped up when they appear In the
matrimonial market: The girl who is
her mothers right hand in household
matters, and who is not above taking
an interest In the most trivial things
in connection with household duties.
The girl who is a bright, entertaining
companion. and who has ever kind
word and pleasant smile for those
around. The girl who is always neat
ly dressed, no matter II with mex
pensive materials. and who never
dresses loudly or in questionable
taste. The girl who can adapt herself
to any society. and who never puts on
airs and who would scorn TO do an
action of which all the world might
not know. The girl who. in an emer-
gency, can turn her hand to anything.
from cooking the family dinner to re-
trimming an old hat. The girl who is
unselfsh enough to give up some
pleasure of her own TO benefit another,
and does not consider herself ag-
grieved at having to do so. The girl
who can talk OF more important things
than dress or the last new play. and
who can listen intelligently when
deeper subjects are introduced.
