The spring and summer stock OF obit-
uary poetry Is now in. and tho assort-
ment Is more varied and pleasing. II pcs
sihle than ever before. Quite num-
Der OF new styles are noticeable. and II
Is gratifying TO be able to say. too. that
the general tone Is much more cheerful
than usual
That old vein OF regret and despair
have almost disappeared. The farest
examples now exhibit philosophical de-
termination to make the best of IL. which
is as 1t should be. as all who have de-
voted any study TO the subject will read
lily admit. Here. for instance. Is a sim
pie verse taken from q Kansas City
paper that even exhibits a sort Of envy
for the departed:
Aaron has crossed the river
And climbed the stairs so high:
He is warm. but we're left TO shiver-
Goodbye. Aaron. goodbye"
a thoughtless reader might hastily con-
clude that a slur had been cast at Aaron ;
but a more extended study OF the lines
will show that the reference 10 the gen.
eral warmth with which he Is supposed
TO be surrounded IL purely incidental
The statement that he has mounted up
ward is positive and susceptible OF 10
qualifying explanations. Aaron is un-
doubtedly in a happy state.
IN the following quatrain. which was
written by a baltimore widower, Il is
clearly shown that death is not always
bitter. either to the departed or the be-
reaved:
Darling you have left us here.
But we do not sigh or weep.
You are happier up there.
With no filthy floors to sweep"
And hero Is message from n man who
used TO reside in Philadelphia:
Weep not kind friends. though am
gone:
BE cheerful while you may;
Remember that you've got to come
To where l am some day."
Just how he succeeded I'm transmitting
his communication back to earth IS not
known; but he has certainly rendered his
friends q service for which they should
be thankful. Let them reform at once.
and move to some other town.
In the subjoined verses an everyday
tragedy Is told I'm one Of the most pleas
ant ways imaginable:
Darling Eddie you have wandered
To that far, mysterious place.
Where they onot Judge person
BY the beauty Of his face.
Happy. happy may you ever
Re while you remain up there
Where they know the time for putting
On their summer underwear.

lad, and judging from certain passages
In the first stanza he must have had
freckles and perhaps a broken nose. Let
