his aged mother and two sisters, aged
IS and Is, and Mrs. Harry Thames, her

For humorous yet forceful logic the
conclusions vt that Kansas man who
Was buried alive are worthy of special
mention. He says that when he began
to recover consciousness he knew he was
not dead, because his feet were cold and
he was hungry, and that he knew if he
were in Heaven he would not be hungry
and If he were in Purgatory his feet
would not be cold. In the line of semi
cheerful deductions drawn under cheer
