woRKMEN uNEARTH SKELETON.


Santa Fe, n. M, aug. To- Work
men engaged lii digging trench
north Of the FEDERAL building yester-
day unearthed a rude casket contain
ing skeleton. They threw the skel-
eton into the road and continued
work. All day, tie skeleton lay in
the road. During the evening. a party
Of half grown boys found the bones
Of the dead man. They placed the
grinning skull on top Of a fence post
and proceeded ID do an indian dance
around it. throwing rocks at the
ghastIy object and finally knocking
1t off the post None Of them ap-
parently thought Of reverence for the
dead man and one Of them even re-
moved the hair from the skull and
placed it upright on stick Passers-
by protested at such unclyilized pro-
cedure and the matter was finally re-
ported to Rafael Gomez, city mar
shal. Mr.. Gomez at once sent an Of
ficer to the scene and ordered the
workmen to either reinter the body
at once or burn the skeleton and
what remained Of the casket They
quickly complied with the order.
Il never heard OF such barbarity in
my life said Marshal Gomez today.
You would think that even boys Of
that age would know better and have
a better sense Of decency than to des-
ecrate grave in such a manner"
On the casket was name plate
which bore the name Of James Ep-
pert or some such title. 1t was al
most indistinguishable The plate
also bore the word September and the
figures 1873. The place where the
body was found was formerly an old

I've heard OF heroes who dashed In
Where flame and smoke meant death
I've read of martyrs who detied
Their foes with dying breath;
I've seen woman, with a sigh,
Put off shopping trip,
But whoever saw a waiter
Refuse TO take a tip?
What Is the psychologist power
That's bred within your bone,
Whereby they place you al a glanes
And let you fume alone?
How do they know you gave a dime
When Jenkins gives a half2
Why does he get their soothing care
And you their silent laugh?
They say that happy days will coma

With smiles OF tipless grace.
