headed dog He rode in by the side of his
master on load of potatoes. He was NOT
pretty dog, not dog of blue blood and
high degree. He was a tall, gaunt, shaggy
haired, wild-eyed brindle beast of unrecorded
pedigree. As the wagon, carrying man, dog,
and potatoes, halted for time in front OF a
saloon, in North c. street, one of a party of
half dozen loungers thereabOut made some
remark in regard to the appearance of the
canine, when thus spake ye horny-handed,
frowsy-headed tier of ye soil: "Fellers, that
air amt purity dog. l know-he's like me,
makes no pretensions to material beauty-buz
he's just the dulndest knowingest dog that
ever wore har. He's got more instink, that
dog has, an more savey, an penetration, an
insight into human natur, Jest in that ugly
old cabeza O. his nor can be found in the heds

pride in him for his regular human
sense; he's list the darndest dog outi Now ef
1 come home from town perfectly sober when
I've left him to see after the ranch), it would
jist do you hearts good to see that dog show
off what a sense OF appreciation he's got OF
me. Fellers, his gorgeous tail then stands
aloft; he skyuges about; he runs on atore me
a scrapin' up the yearth with his hind feet,
sendn' the chips fyin'; he holds up his
bead an hsgf IN chser s an mapy Az ,ss tSne
proudner'n he'd holed woodchuckl But let
me come home full of tangle-leg, shepherd

the darndest shamedSt dog yer ever saw. He
jist takes one look at me an he knows il all.
Down goes his tail, he lobs his years, hangs
his head, squats his back, an lookin' back
now tan' then he sinks off an crawls under
the barn-actually ashamed to be seen abouG
the premises for lear somebod'll find out that

When a man dashes wildly forth from his
own house, pursued by shrill voice, asking:
"You aciU drink again, will you?" neighbors
who overhear the remark, and are properly
informed as to their social duties, will i'm

hand, and make for the front windows in hot
haste, even if they smash few panes of glass

A shrewd wife in town, who has forget

effectual. When she desires him TO bring
her anything from the store, she makes a
cross on the back of his hand with lead
pencil. When he takes drink at a saloon,
in extending his hand for the glass, he in
variably sees that mark, and remembers his

times day, it would be singular indeed if
he forgot what was required of him.

water poisoned and the earth Corrupted,
As New York Is now spreading itself, our de-
scendants will have to remove us as the Lon
doners had to remove their grandfathers.
Besides, does not the infection take tho
wings OF the wind and affect villages miles
away? Most of those who make study OF
air and soil trace most diseases to the effects
OF impure water. The amount OF earth put
on the dead is hot enough to absorb the
gases that escape from their bodies. The
usual system of burial involves the expense

people OF the earth and sanctioned by some
OF the noblest minds. We must remember
that some OF the pagan nations have been the
best that the earth ever bore. We are study

The burning of their dead by the Greeks took
MS source from the same idea as the burying
OF their dead by the Hebrews-immortality
The Greeks had their sacred fire. If the FIRE
was extinguished at the wrong time there
was death in the family. Now with this
belief came the practice of burning of the
dead. This practice is also known to have
prevailed among the aborgnes of North
America. They burned their great men and
chiefs. Burning meant Immortality, Chris
tians object to cremation because, as they
say. ifyou fritter the body all away there is
no germ for Immortality. 1t is as easy to
recreate body from ashes as from dark
mold. Fire can no more destroy it than
earth can. The process of cremation recon-
mends itself by the same arguments that
show that interments should be discon-
tInued. 1t is healthy and cheap. There is
no need of land and expensive funeral cor
teges. The money could be spent in flowers
and remembrances. In the process of Gre
nation we follow the lead up to the vault of
heaven and not down to the darksome earth.
We substitute pure ashes for festeling mould.
All the rituals on the dead can be preserved
the same as now and every display of pomp
and luxury be continued. Under this pro-
cess we have our dead with US. In conclu-
sion he said that cremation conduced to the
health OF the living. in and after all this was
the most important question. The burial of
the dead was superstition depending merely
on custom, When the practice was discon-
tnued the superstition would die.
