Queer Story of a Grave.

A curious barren mound is to be seen in Montgomery churchyard. ever the cause, there is plainly to be seen a strip of sterility in the form of @ cross among a mass of verdure. With the mound a melancholy legend is con- nected. It ts called “Robert's Grave,” and the story is that beneath this bar- ren hillock lie the remains of an in- nocent man who was hanged on mis- taken evidence. It !s said that while the man stood on the gallows with the rope round his neck he solemnly declared, as # proof of his innocence, that grass should never grow on his grave. And even so it was and is. Any one who attempts to frustrate the fulfillment of this prophecy by sowing grass on this spot pays the penalty with his life. Instances are given of individuais who have been rash enough to do so and have met their doom soon afterward.—Carciff Western Mail.

General Lee’s Modesty.

A month or so after his surrender General Lee went one day to the store near his home in Powhatan county, Va., which served also as the post- office. Everybody in the town was instantly eager to see him, and in a few moments the store was crowded. The general was talking with the pro- prietor about crops and other matters and appeared utterly unconscious of the fact that the gathering of the resi- dents was due solely to his presence. Suddenly he realized that everybody was watching him and modestly said: “But I see I am keeping you from your many customers. Pardon me!’ and at once withdrew.—Ladies’ Home Jour- nal.

Are you in constant fear he will be ill?

Then give him more flesh. Give him more power to resist disease. He certainly needs a fat-forming food.

Two Atchison men decided recently that their property would look better with no dividing fence between and took it down. It was down a week when both women agreed to make their husbands-put up the fence again. They had had no trouble, but a talk ia the back yard without a fence to lean on was like meat without salt.
