Buried Inside Down.

If Major Labelliere OF Dorking was
buried on the top of Box hill, head
downward, in 1900, he probably got
the idea from Mr.. Hall OF Leith Hill
place, who in 1867 built the tower on
the neighboring Leith hill and was
buried there six years later. The usual
Leith hill story, as recorded by one
writer, Is that the tower marks the
spot where an eccentric farmer OF the
neighborhood was buried on horse
back upside down, so that when the
world was turned. as he believed it
then soon would be. topsy turvey. he
might at last come up in the right po-
sition." The tradition might easily be
transferred from one hill to its neigh
Dor. There seems no doubt. however,
that Mr.. Hall was buried on the sum-
init OF I.eith hill.-London Chronicle.

ALL THE GIRLS FOLLOWED HIM.

to marry to perpetuate the family
name and produce an heir FOR the vine
yard, and when she found that Lena
Stieber would not have him she en-
deavored to make a match for him
with some other girl. She selected
one girl after another. There were
many girls who wished for just such a
husband, but there was none who
could stand Ludwig's seriousness. SO
long as he could not win Lena, he did
not care whom he married and would
have accepted any one his mother Sc
lected for him if be had been himself
acceptable. But there was not n girl
within a distance of fifty miles who
would marry him
Frau Keisewetter heard Of Professor
Coblesteiner. who was working won
ders in Cologne about that time in
hypnotism. 1t occurred to her that
probably he might by hypnotic innu-
ence give her son cheerfunesS that
would show itself i'm his countenance.
She wrote the professor 10 that effect
and received a reply that he could i'm
fluence her son while in the hypnotic
state in any direction. but that he
doubted if the condition could be made
permanent. He was making some ex-
periments in securing permanent eff
fects and should be glad 10 include her
son in the number of his subjects.
So anxious was the good woman to
get rid of Ludwig's defect that she
begged him to go to Cologne and put
himself under Professor Coblesteiner's
influence. Ludwig. who knew some
thing about hypnotiSm. had no faith
in IL. At least, he had no faith in his
disposition being so changed as to alter
the expression OF his face But TO
please his mother he consented to go.
SO he mounted his horse, and. kissing
her goodby. promising her that he
would give Professor Coblesteiner ev-
cry facility to serve him. he started on
his Journey.
Now. Frau Keisewetter had been so
dillgent in hunting for a girl who
would marry her son that she had tried
every girl living both mp and down the
river. Since Ludwig Travelled down
the river. he passed the homes Of girls
who bad been tried living in that di-
rection The fact had spread that
young Keisewetter. who was so serious
looking that he could not get wife.

The Half Holiday

With the approaching of Spring
we feel to advocate a half hol-
dav every week for the business
houses of Oakley
This holiday is needed for re-
creation and recuperation by
those whose daily vocatiors
keep them indoors the greater
part of the time.
We believe the halt holiday
should be made a permanent in
stitution Of the town; and cele.
brated with sports and ath.
l-tic pastimes, SO that the
greatest amount of good may
result.
In connection with this, we feel
it will now be a good time to
organize our Oakley base ball
tam if the town is going to
build up a stray team. A good
ball team in addition to other
advantages is good advertise
ment for the community.
Let us by all means have
half holiday every week. and
good team to root for.
