had it been possible to secure it, would
have been a parade of the six or seven

able them to appreciate the TRADE
about partisan politics which he had
no more sense than to inject into his

asked in a two-column advertisement an
serted ia all their newspapers by a
youth from Milton, Del, who has in
vaded their city. Then the advertiser
goes on: III 30, there is no better gift
to give them than to have a nice epi-
tnph written in remembrance OF them,
either for keepsake or to be cut on the
tombstone. This epitaph," he explains,
mot only shows that you loved your
friends and relatives while they were
able to be with you, but 1t also shows
that, though they have passed away,
you have not forgotten them. You want
an epitaph, and you want the best, at
