The undertaking business Is not one
for amusing reflections, but grave sub

some of the humors of less solemn Iiness
Of trade. Yesterday an undertaken with
whom the Gossiper Is somewhat acquaint-
ed was grumbling at the difficulty he ex-

even 20 or so per cent. OF them. The
margin of profit is fairly good. but where
we have one good paying customer we
sometimes have two who pay only pari

are not acquainted with the business IL
appears as though mere matter OF fam

he will not permit feelings of delicacy

Unquestionably the observance OF Arbor
Day is very good and commendable
thing, but there is one feature OF today's
celebration which does not seem TO be
Just right. AS the Gossiper understands
IL some hundreds OF grammar school
pupils were expected to take part in the
exercises. The Union Railroad Company
generously agreed to carry these pupils
TO Roger W illiams Park, where the exer-
cises are being held. free OF charge, that
was certainly as much as the company
could be expected to do in the way OF
promoting the success OF the celebration.
JurHsusly enough those who made the
arrangements made no provision for the
return of the pupils after the exercises
are over. As one of the teachers put the
matter "the children will be taken to the
park by the Union Railroad Company and
they will get home the best way they
can." Now IL 1t was desirable TO make
arrangements for taking the children to
the park it was doubly so TO take them
home again. Special cars should have
been provided after the exercises SO that
the children would not be compelled to
get into the rush and crush which always
follows the breaking up OF a gathering
mum bering thousands.

the base running was daring, but not to
