Lovers Unique Devotion.

An unusual manner in which a
lovers devotion was shown occurred
at Zurich Switzerland, recently. A
cobbler, whose sweetheart died, ap-
prenticed himself to a ~stone-cutter in
order to execute a fitting tribute to
her memory, and after fourteen
months he was able to carve a beau
tiful rose on a marble slab and write
beneath: "Such was she" After 1t
had been erected over her grave he
returned to his first trade, and now
repairs shoes as before.

rected by Rensley Holden, was a huge
success i'll every way. The play being
given by local people insured a full
house and every seat was occupied
which insured success to the financial
end, and the excellent manner with
which each one played his part insured
the liveliest interest and highest appre
cation from the audience, which scored
another success.
