He Had Not the Nerve.

A gentleman in the orchestra was un-
able to see the stage on account of tall
hat, so he leaned over and whispered to
the lady's escort:
Il wish you would tell the lady who is
with you to take off her hat, can't see
the stage at all. +"
MY dear sir, you had better tell her
that yourself, if you think it's healthy.
She is my wife, /" was the whispered re-
ply of the husband.

Reform In Funeral Ceremonies.

"The time is coming, said an under
taler of this city the other day, "when
people will cease to go to funerals in
troops, and when the friends of the de-
ceased will take farewell of his remains
ct his home instead of following him to
tlie grave, as they do now. This will be
a decided change for the better Fu-
nerals as now conducted are foolish and
meaningless performances. They bring
discomfort to all who attend them, and
in many cases they do positive injury.
Think of the thousands of people who
catch their deaths of cold from standing
skiyeIing at an open grave and from sit
ting around for hours in carriages travel
ing atsnail's pace for miles into the coun-
try. OF course the time is not far dis
tant when burials will be largely super
Seded by cremation.
On the whole am disposed to regard
cremation as blessing. People are OPP
posed to it now because they think it is
unnatural and horrible. 1t is simply an
assistance TO natures work; it does
neatly and quickly what nature accom-
plishes after long time and in very un-
pleasant fashion. | wonder if people
will ever realize that when a human
being dies the body which he leaves be-
hind him is not himself. There is no
more relation between man when he is
living and when he is dead than there is
between any living thing and piece Of
clay. But we have not reached that age
of civilization when the popular mind
can grasp this fact When we do there
viii be very different funeral ceremonies
from those now in vogue, and other
methods of disposing of the dead will
change materially. ri New York TeIe-

He has risen by dint Of perseverance,

position he has been placed he has dis
tinguished himself by his uniform
courtesy, candor and manliuess. He is
honest, accurate and honorable in all
his business relations. This ! know
from close personal and business rela-
tons extending over period of years.
He Is not one whit more responsible
for the grievances the men complain of
than are they. for like them he is an
employe and required to execute the
orders of his superiors. He neither
owns, manages or controls the street
railway system. He obeys the orders

a shifting train in the yards at Harris

boys had frequently expressed deter

believed they were carrying odt this
determination.
