more applications will completely dis

Do you remember little Bobbie

Do you remember little Bobbie
Bonebrtght?
OF course you don't, for little Bob
bic died sixty,two years ago and has
long been forgotten.
| And little .Bobbie's grave. up on
the hill at Sandusky. beneath the
| pine tree, is forgotten. You couldn't

stone off, 1t fell over on the sod and
a heavy rain washed the marble slab
away from its foundation.
Last Sunday l picked up the stone,

and earth, beneath the barbed wire
fence which is the north side of the
little country graveyard. The stone
read:
ROBERT A.
son of j. & S. Bonebright
died Ma: "a, 1854.
Aged IL VS. 6 mo-, 10 DIS.
Is there story in an old broken
tombstone of q boy-in a little coun-
try cemetery-tbe neglected grave Of
a boy you did not know?
1t was a day for imagination and
Illumination. The brown carpet of fall
had spread itself about, the warm
November sun was high enough n
the sky to throw it's bright glow
through the stripped limbs OF the
trees. The noise Of the city was for
gotten. All was peace and quiet. The
only sounds were the faint tinkle OF
COW bell, fer away on the hill
across the valley; the half, asleep
putting of a steamboat five miles
away and the rustling of the dead
leaves in the elm tree, where squirr
rel was enjoying his lunch. wonder
ing why an intruder came.
But this story was to be about a
cemetery and not about the glories
of an Indian summer Sunday, spent
out doors:
There are a hundred stories in the
broken tombstone, but which is the
one to write? Is it the story of the
sad death Of the little boy with the
old timey name? Is 1t the story of
neglected graves and how in time
tombstones crumble and people are
forgotten?< Is it the story of CON-
parison between the humble stone Of
an unknown boy and the costly i'm
posing monument erected over the
grave of the rich mans son?
You select your own story from
the broken tombstone Of the little
boy who died a lifetime ago. The
name Bonebris ht in itseM has an at
mosphere of romance about 1t. 1t
may be of Indian origin, but it sounds
more like one Of those interesting old
names we read about in colonial
time stories.
The Cemetery at Sandusky.
The Sandusky cemetery is pefehed
up on the top of little hill over
looking the lake on one side and the
entire surrounding country on the
other. There are not a hundred tomb
stones in the small plot, scattered
about beneath half dozen or more
tall cedars. The people of the vicin-

four graves, was established in 1855
by a bereavei couple who had come

near the family mansion and ten

country upon the newly made grave.
Then, they too, followed and were
buried on the farm.
The Indians Grave.
The waves Of Lake Keokuk, beat
ing against the shore on the point at
Sandusky, just north Of the railroad
bridge, unearclaed the bones Of an
Indian this summer; bleached bones,
which had once been the hand of
savage who grasped the tomahawk
or bent the bow.
w. S. Phillips and Walter Mas,
who have a summer cottage on the
lake front close by, dug up the bones.
They pieced them together and had
an almost complete skeleton, lacking
but a few pieces of the skull. When
they returned to further explore the
spot and secure the remaining parts,
the water of the lake had been raisci
several inches and the grave had
been submerged.
Their relic was almost entirely car
ried away one day by some fisher
men, who helped themselves to pieces
out Of the pile of bones drying in the
sun back Of the cottage.
And that ends the story of Bobbie

Progress by Kicking.

A naval lieutenant, assigned to COM
mand a submarine, found the storage
batteries in what he considered an uD-
safe condition and reported to his SUI
perior, a rear admiral. The superior
considered the lieutenant's action
merely "kick." He refused to nave
all batteries examined, even after in
vestigation showed that the subordi-
nate officers "kick" was based on fact,
and accepted the vessel as it stood.
The matter went to court-martial,
and the rear admiral was acquitted of
negligence. Secretary Daniels disap-
proved the finding of the court.
Any superior who objects having his
subordinate kick occasionally is not
deserving Of his rank. Bureaucracy,
wherever it has developed TO curse
democracy, is based on precisely the
theory this rear admiral appears TO
have adopted: that all wisdom is CEN
tered in the heads of chiefs, and that
the only thing that need concern sub
ordinates is the following of orders
without questioning or protest. The
world advances by MISUNDERSTANDING
Plain Dealer.
