A few months ago the Rhode Island Society of the Cincinnati voted to erect a memorial to Gen. Greene after ascertaining positively, If' such were possible, where his bones rested. The work of opening th vaults was begun on Friday, March 1. It was In the seventh vault that of the family of Col. George Noble Jones of the continental army that the body was fpund. There was no casket, but only a rim of dust to show where it had been. Within this dust rim was found and 1 local health department and the-- park and tree commission.

Did you ever think how many states are not settled as to their limits T Why, Missouri and Kansas are the only ones I ever heard of, was the reply made to the question. Well, there Is n historic old question Involved between the two you name over where the line running from the mouth of the Kaw should be. But there are others many more than you Vould think. Missouri has another boundary dispute on her hands. It is with, Iowa. The latter state thinks Its southern line Is In the wrong place. But even then there are still others.

Is the net of being companionable. A writer In the Woman's Home Companion thinks some people are born with the happy knack. There Is a spontaneous gayety that you expect women to have. Just as you expect the birds to sing and the sun to shine. Many a very bad quarter of an hour has been averted in the domestic circle by n bright laugh or a gay rejoinder. The laugh may be saucy and the rejoinder a bit of verbal buffet, but if It is only done good naturedly it will be nil the more effective. It used basely to be said of men that the only way to make them happy was to feed them well. That could only have applied to a small minority. Of course bo one wants An uninterrupted round of even the most brilliant smiles any more than he would wish to make three meals n day off meringues and biscuits glaces, but it is safe to say that countless numbers of willing and delighted -culine captives may bs lad by th lightest chains that gayety and good humor can forge. One result of n great deal of the Imperfeet education that is dealt out by the handful nowadays is that some women are apt to set undue value on mere and the gift of controversy. This kind of n person looks upon your little Jok beneath her dignity, and she treats You to n sombre harangue on th necessity of having serious views of Ilfs at the moment when you are striving to look at things cheerfully In an effort to forget cares and anxieties.

It la claimed he protected the syndicate In an effort to take possession of the property, claimed by the New York A Bermudez company.
