laborer told his employer about it, and

from the cornerstone, which was located
later and turned over to Mgr. Lee. rec
tor of ST. Matthew'S Whether the tin
box In the cornerstone had been plum

church dignitaries is a mystery.
The belief was expressed that the men
could have gained access 10 the box,

ago. It was some ten feet under ground
when the laborers discovered it.
There is tradition that some one was
buried on this site just before the church
was erected.

Laborer Makes Discovery on
ST. Matthew's Site.
SENT TO CITY ASH HEAPS
Mans Superstition Leads Him to
Dispose of GreNsome Find After He
Heard Weird Walls in His Home,
According to StOry-NO Relics Came
from Historic Cornerstone.

Under tons of rubbish at the city
dumping ground is a human bone turned
up by the pick OF a laborer excavating
at the site of old st. Matthews Church,
Fifteenth and H streets.
The mans superstition sent the mys-
terious relic TO the ash heaps, and there
by hangs tale,
About two weeks before the cornerstone
of ST. Matthews was found. one of the
men at work dug his pick deep into the
clay below the foundation. He tugged,
and dragged up the grewsone find.

The laborer, whose name could not be
learned, carelessly thrust the object IN his
pocket. and that night he took it home
for the children to play with. He did
not mention his discovery TO his employer
The night of his find he was sitting in
the kitchen of his home in Georgetown
with his wife, after the children had gone
to bed, and the pair were discussing the
possible identity OF the find.
The family claimed there was a rap
ping at the kitchen wall, and a moment
later something knocked at the door.
Before the man and his wife had caught
their breath. a weird wall sounded from
outside. Both rushed out to investigate,
but the yard was deserted

they gazed at each other with ashen

The Joke Was On John.

when John Allen was running
for congress a number of years ago
he feared he would not be reelected,
and he called in to help him his old
friend, John Sharp Williams" said
former Representative Joe Sibley, OF
Pennsylvania, at the Willard recent
" to a gallery. of newspaper men.
"The two mapped out a plan OF
campaign, and they stumped the
district together for a couple OF
weeks, when Allen was called to an
other part of the district, leaving
Williams to go on and fill his en-
gagements. John Sharp always low
ed to play tricks on his friends. He
had been with Allen OF so many OF
his campaigns that he knew pretty
much all Of the 1atter's good stories.
and so when Williams hauled up at
a small place where Allen was popu-
lar he determined to have some fun
with his friend. He began by telling
what a great man Allen was, and
then he told his audience every good
story Allen had been telling. The
Allen constituency listened ano
laughed, and dismissed Williams
with a great send-oH.
"a week after Allen visited the
same neighborhood, and once more
the crowd was big. He began by
thanking the citizens FOR their at
tendance, and then launched in or
some Of his stories. He told one
two, three. There was not a ripple
visible, not a smile to break the
solemnity Of the occasion. Allen was
dumbfounded. He looked around the
audience, but in return got nothing
but the CLASSY stare. He imagined
that he was addressing a~>conVentior
of undertakers. Evidently he had
lost his grip entirely.

Why Editors Are Liars.

Did you ever read the Hedcing no.
! tice that departed much from the fol-
lowing: Miss EST Mabel Good and
Mr.. Sterling Worth we're married last
evening at the home of the bride;
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Swell, on Pros
perity avenue, Rev. Mr.. Big Fee OIL
ciating? Or did you v e read OF a
school entertainment where the exer
cises did not reflect credit on the
teacher or of a social gathering
that was not a most enjoyable al
fair" or of a red-headed girl whose
auburn t~resses" were not much ad-
mired, or of a funeral where the de-
ceased was not the embodiment OF all
virtues and where the bereaved rela-
tives did not have the sympathy OF
the entire community? asks the May
field Mirror.
No, and you never will, so long as
you will insist tearing the printer
mans eyes out or wreck his Office or
stop your paper every time he tells
the truth about you. You don't want
the truth, unless it is something bad
about your neighbor, and then you
are mighty pleased and come around
and tell the editor, "That was a hot
shot you gave old Brown. Served him
right, too" But if you stop to no.
tice, you will remember that you nev-
er told the writer such a thing when
anybody else could hear you. You
were afraid to, wern't you? And you
don't want the truth, if it is about
you; you want the editor to roast the
other fellow, but with you he is ex-
pected to lie for.
It is an item of news when your
child fails to pass an examination in
school just as much so as when it
succeeds in passing. Lord, how mad
you would get if the editor mentioned
it. Your daughters running after
be-oil hare dry goods machinist is
notorious town talk in fact, but when
the wedding notice appears you don't
want the editor to give a notice
something ike this: after several
months OF hard work, Miss App
Aren't Fraud has succeeded in land
ing that young rake, Mr.. Oy Lee
Tough, who is hustling dry goods for
Jones. The Lord knows she has ang-
led long enough for a beau, and the
whole town rejoices that she has at
last succeeded in landing a sucker"
Now, you don't want that. If it is so,
even if you are a good Christian your
self, you want the poor editor to risk
his immortal soul and lie about your
daughter. You want him to go to
shell ~vlcariously, don't you? And
when you get a job after asking ev-
cry man in town, you want the edi-
tor to say you accepted a position"
And when you get fred you want him
get up on his behind legs and say

Lope to have any great reputa-

insist on his being a constant liar
ut your own petty, little contemp-
He affairs. And when your poor,
krd-working wife goes sixteen miles
h a visit for the first time in eigh-
teen years, you don't want the editor
kto say so. Your standing-great God!
would not permit of such brutality to
a faithful, loving companion. Oh,
no; you don't want the editor to tell
