though of course It was a subject Of
general remark. On a dozen different
occasions mutual friends interceded,
but each time they were rebuffed.
That poor little halfpenny stood in the
way and could not be put aside. At
the end of five months a relative Of
Smith died, and he decided to buy a
house in a suburb OF London and have
q widowed sister act as housekeeper.
This project was talked over at the
table before all.
1t was a most curious thing that
Jones should be In the employ Of the
real estate man who had erected the
houses in the suburb referred to and
that 1t was part of his duties to
/ show would be purchasers through the
houses. Such was the case, however,
and one afternoon when Smith alighted
from the underground at the suburb
he found Jones ready for him. II
must have been a surprise to him, and
vet he was equal to the occasion. He
asked to be shown a certain house
and Jones led the way into it. People
on the street heard and saw this. That
evening neither man returned to bis
boarding house. They did not return
next day. Then the police were spoken
to, and a search was instituted. Smith
had said that he was going to look at g
house. Jones had said that he was
going to show q house to a customer
They found the house into which th,
two men had gone and had not beer
seen to reappear with It's outer dool
unlocked. In a room upstairs they
found Smith and Jones dead. Wha
happened was told by a tramp whit
was in hiding in the house because h'
had committed a theft and feared th'
police were after him. He was asleeI

CHILDREN In CEMETERY
BUT THEY WERE NOT DEAD

Real estate men are telling a good
story regarding one of their number.
An East Side woman, with six chill
dren. had applied at different real
estate offices, but was refused a house
because she had too many children.
Finally she told a neighbor that she
could not rent a house. The latter
told the woman to dress the children
and then loaned her a black bonnet
and veil.
The mother and children went to
Riverview cemetery where she left the
children. Then she went to the Office
Of a Marketstreet real estate man to
rent a house.
How many children have you,
madam" inquired the agent.
Il had six, but they are in River
view cemetery" replied the woman in
black.
The house lease was produced and
signed and next day the mother and
children were in a new home. A month
later, when the agent called for the
rent he was surprised to see the chill
dren. Explanations followed, and now
| this particular real estate man Is
wary Of renters who wear mourning

A REQUIEM

The singer who saw not, but whose silver
throated dirge
OF whitened war-waves on the windy
plain
Looms down the ages sang the wild re-
frain
OF shores a-groan beneath eternal
scourge;
And that singer who luted his deep-noted
surge
OF Atreus' house, and that sore destined
twain
Whose seven-gated city wrought their
bane-
His words. too fan with swish Of wave,
that urge
The empty ships to doom. Twas their call
And those hearts that sang in groanins
ocean roar
Loud in their ears-the notes ring sweet
and free
Now far. wide misty deeps and breakers
call;
And. while the endless waves beat ever
more.
Their chants come sounding from the ole
gray sea,
Like a requiem Of lost souls that calls L

need not therefore be idle We must admit
that according to our observation and reading
on the subject, there is a wide diversity of opin-
ion as to the best method of road Improvement
in communities like Kent county. Road build
ing to meet satisfactorily modern conditions IS
still in the experimental stage. At least IT seems
to be so judging by the reports OF New erSey
road experts. But one thing is clear and that
is there should be an improvement in the sys-
tenn of building roads in Kent Many persons
think that the money now expended on the
roads of the county is practically wasted.
