Win this parsgl aph reaches the

some ones business to write the epitaph
of the departed. but we don't consider
it outs.
All over the world the mortuary
scril,rs who delight to revel in the
somh ~ descriptions of death. are busy
on the long drawn. hut somewhat fc-
titious agony, that 81 interesting oc-
casion presents to thei, heated ina GIN

culation. knows its business. and it
knows it does, there will be no slober-
ing over the fact that "a small thing
like cepture has gone to the great
bone yard Of the universe.
Other centuries have gone the same
route and we stood it like major. OF
course while other powerful writer's
and many fearful composers of genuine
obituary poetry may feel overwhelm med
| by the occasion, we desire to be counted
out and ask 10 invitation to the house
Of mourning.
! We neither desire to obtrude upon
other peoples grief, nor miugle our
tears with theirs. We fail to recognize
the tremendous fact that a solemn hush
will sweep over the globe when the
dear old how, known as the late nine
tenth century, is passing in his checks.
We defy any man to note any
change IN the atmosphere or his feel
ings or anything else, unless he has q
clock close at hand or good reliable
watch and then the solemnity is all in
his mind. II his clock runs down or
his watch stops, it's all OF.
We did not attend any watch meet
Iings. We heard of several, however,
where number of people sat up and
lost their good sleep watching the
old year OUT They absolutely saw
nothing but the clock, and you can see
that any other eight OF the year if you
choose to sit up, and il you don't care
to remain out Of bed, exactly the same
sPectical can be witnessed BY turning
the hands OF the clock ahead, while
. by letting the fire 60 oat and turning
down the light the same creepy feel
ing" can be worked up
We are utterly Enabled to grind on
