The moment I set eyes on that piece of ground I saw that I was going to have trouble with the owner, for upon It was a newly made grave. I hated to approach the man, but a railroad can’ t afford to be sentimental, so I put the case before him. “ ‘What;’ he cried. ‘Disturb those hallowed bones?’ “ ‘I am sorry,’ I answered, ‘but it Is absolutely necessary that we have the land that the grave Is on.’ “ Well, the old man protested with tears in his eyes and threatened to take the matter Into court, the last thing that I desired to do, as L wouldn’t care to say what a Jury would do after a lawyer was through with them. I argued with him nnd finally got the land that we desired by paying him five times what It was worth. ‘“ Now/ said I after the papers were passed, ‘I suppose you will remove the remains at once.’ “ ‘Guess not,’ said he. “ ‘Well, I guess you will!' said I sharply. ‘That land belongs to us now.’ “ ’ Waal,' he drawled. T don’t suppose the ole hog what's burled thar cares whether lie is removed or not.’ “ Say, that old sharper had burled nothing there but a measly hog nnd then shed tears over the hallowed bones till I weakened. “ Well, It was on me. .
