 ED NEws:-In the course of one of my numerous visits to your place wandered jn- to the cemetery; there the sexton was mak- ing sort of wooden tomb. He was very thorough with his work, using heavy lumber and plenty of screws and bolts. The work was all underground, and was apparently cal culated to resist the ravages of the ''resu ~ec- honist." Recent events have proved the necessity of some such precautions; that even the dead are liable to be taken from the grave and held for rapsom like prisoner of bri- gan6. Are we as a people advancing in civ izat;on, when we are obliged to place ,he re- mains Of our departed friends in burglar proof graves? To me it has the appe5 o1ce of drifting back to Earbarism. It is bad enough for men to plurder the 6vaag without violating the tomb to satisfy greed.
