enlightened days to hear Of church
body whech denoonces the use Of to-
bacco as wicked and sinful and propos-
ed to enforce an ancient church blue
law against The weed. Yet there was
considerable row in the Methodist con-
ference at Newport. Ky, the other day
because several of the ministers were
reported to be users of tobacco. There
isn't any question about the chewing OF
tobacco being filthy habit, and the
smoking Of cigars being costly one.

Take a walk through a cemetry
alone and you will pass the last
resting place of the man who blew
into the muzzle of gun to see if it
was loaded. A little further down
the slope is the crank who tried to
show how close he could pass in
front of a moving train. In stroll.
ing about you see the modest monu-
ment of the hired girl who started
to start the fire with kerosene and
a grass covered knoll that covers
the boy who put corn cob under
mules tail. The tall shaft over the
man who blew out the gas casts a
shadow across the boy who tried to
jump on the moving train. Side by
side the ETHEREAL creature who al
ways had her corset laced to the
last hole, and the intelligent idiot
who rode bicycle nine miles in
ten minutes, sleep on undisturbed.
At repose is the doctor who took a
dose of his own medicine. There
with the top of a shoe box driven
over his head is the rich old man
who married young wife. Away
over there reposes the boy who
fished on Sunday and the woman
who kept strychnine with powder
in the cupboard. The man who
stood in front of a moving machine
to oil the cycle is quiet now and
rests beside the careless brakeman
who fed himself into a seventy-ton
engine, and over in the corner Of
the fence in the potter's field may
be seen the bleaching bones of the
