In uwblle ourselves,” said the right of
way agent “ The railroad 1 am work
ing for has been engaged for some

on Its line, and the work has kept me
busy getting the necessary right of

run through. There Is nothing that

will need some of it But I got along
fairly well until last week, when to
straighten out a bad curve I found
that we would have to buy a few feet
from the farm that adjoins our right
of way. 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.
