when I was a small boy living in

agent came up from st. Louis By
steamboat and flooded our country

nes-The Key to Her Coffin Every

wept over It" remarked a Macon resi-

the community Ike a nightmare. It
reeked with shroudS. funerals and
graveyards. For long while The
Key to Agnes Coffin was the sole
diversion OF certain. portions of the
populace. They seemed TO take n pure
and chastened joy IN the awful weight
OF woe that oozed out from between
its lids. and It made them feel better.
There were not many books IN the
country In those days. and the saga
cious agent had sized the community's
taste up about right. The book was
supposed to be very coasollng to the
distressed in that it told Of worse
troubles than their own."-Macon Re-
