Scarce seven years old this GRACE in 9

Tho short yet sweet, for surely twas

On the tombstone of a English knight
by the name of Harry Grave there APP
pears this verse:
Here in one grave more than one Grave
lies;
Envious death at last hath gained his
prize;
No pills or potions here could make |
death tarry;
Resolv'd he was to fetch away Old |
Harry;
Ye foolish doctors could YOU all mis-
carry.
A more pleasing example is found in
Bletchley, Eng, on Mrs. Rose Sparkle,
who died in 1915.
slxty.cight years a fragrant Rose she
lasted,
Noe vile reproach her virtues ever
blasted;
Her autumn past expects a glorious
spring,
\ second better life more flourishing.
Hearken unto mo, We holy children,
and bud forth as a Rose.-Eccl 80: IS.
The allotted space for this article
will not permit examples of profession
al and dialogue epitaphs. The former
are often seen in comparativev modern
cemeteries, One of the most common,
sometimes inscribed alone, sometimes
in connection with other verses, but
seldom seen in exactly the same verbal
form. is this:
Stranger, pause as you pass by,
: As you are now so once was |,
AS | am now so you shall be,
Prepare to die and follow me.
SO far as known, the above epitaph
first appeared in French on the tomb
: of Edward, the Black Prince, in the
, following form, as translated by an
early chronicler:
4 tWhOso thou he that passeth bye,
Where thes corpes Inferred lie:
. Understand what shall saye,
As at this time speake naye
Such as thou art sOmetyme was I;
Such as | am such shalt thou be.
There Is a stone in n cemetery at
Hightstown, New jersey, ornately
carved and possessing, according to
local tradition, a touching interest. 1t
was erected in memory Of a young girl
= by her hourt-broken lover. One can
not but wish that the sentiment in
scribed on the stone were more beau
ltilul. II reads:
+ III youth beware and do prepare
To meet the monster Death,
/ For he may come when you are young
And take away your breath.
In the same cemetery is an inscrip.
ton over the grave of a dissipated
young man whose evil habits were the
l. direct cause OF his death. In 1t a
h single line conveys u fearful meaning,

u Attempts to say great deal In few
words, and desire to have the epitaph

has as much of fixed position as any
vehicle and any ordinance affecting 1t that
Is unreasonable will work but temporary
hardship to the owners of machines for 1T

the automobile comes from the actions
of thoughtless individuals who without
due consideration for the rights Of others,
persist in running their machines through
the crowded streets at rate of speed
dangerous to life and limb. This can be
seen almost"any day in Minneapolis. It
is the old question of the vast majority
of respectable and considerable wheelmen
entitled to every right and the occasional
fool "scorcher'' who made 1t unsafe for
all pedestrians, until the law finally fixed
him.
The automobile question will work itself
out in good time Meanwhile the govern

adopting ordinances too sweeping and i'm
posing measures too drastic upon the in

THE AUTOMOBILE

A New York alderman, Parsons by name,
has prepared an ordinance affecting the
owners of automobiles, which he proposes
to put through the council If possible.
The ordinance not only limits the speed
of automobiles but provides that every
owner shall be required to procure a. Ii
cense, and that every automobile shall
be numbered and shall carry the number
in plain black letters on the back. A fine
of $50 is provided for violation of the
ordinance.
Needless to say the owners of autos
are against this and the ordinance will
not go through without a fight. Alder
man Parsons prepared his ordinance at
the request of the committee. of so citi-
zens, who have banded together for. /. the
purpose of limiting the speed of all vehi-
cles. The move for special ordinance
affecting automobiles comes as counter
move to the agitation that has been under
way for more liberal law, the present
ordinance limiting the speed in the popu-
lous districts to eight miles an hour,
which the automobiles assert is UNI
necessarily low.
& The status of the automobile has been
defined by the courts, yet there is room
for modification and the question As yet

per cent on its stock, and the Northern

is understood, would insure a profit Of Z

Nor PRACTICAL POLITICS

A London cable reporting an interview
with Mr.. Barton, the premier of Aus
tralia, quotes him as declaring that an
imperial customs union is not within the
bounds of practical politics, although
many years hence it might work. Free
trade within the empire would deprive the
young colonial communities of their main
source of revenue, the customs, and pre-
vent the successful carrying out Of their
tual tariff concessions would be more
practical. -
This is sufficiently explicit to show that
the colonies are not hungering for the
zollverein scheme Of the colonial secre-
stary to :be actualized. Mr.. Seldom, the
New Zealand premier, seems to be the
nearest in accord with the secretary's
customs union program, but also in the
scheme for imperial defense which has
not been pushed as sedulously as the
other. The British government, on ac-
count Of the rapidly gathering Liberal
sentiment against the customs union and
imperial defense propositions and the agi-
atation they are causing, has taken the
trouble to state that neither the cabinet
nor any member of it is pledged to sup
port the zollverein principle, which is
tentative and is subject to the decision
of the colonial premiers, who will as
semble in London on July 2. It is ad-
mitted that these gentlemen differ radi-
cally as to the merits and advantages Of
preferential trade and even If the prin-
.ciple is adopted, progress will. be very
slow in it's instalment as an imperial
policy.
In the debate on the corn tax in the
house of commons the opposition asked
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, the chancellor
of the exchequer, if the duty on grain and
flour was not intended as means Of ne-
gotiating preferential treaties with for
eign countries. He replied that it was
meant to be a revenue duty and nothing
more, and admitted that it was to be q
permanent indirect tax. He did not see
why free trade with the colonies should
/ involve increased duty with foreign ma
l.tions, although some sacrifice might be
made to have and maintain that free
trade.
/ There IS small doubt, however, that
this breadstuffs tax, a matter Rf perma-
nent taxation, and not levied BY the vote

week, when the colonial premiers meet
in London, it will probably be found that
majority Of them will oppose the open.
ing Of their markets to, British manufac-
lures on free trade basis, but they de-
sire the free admission of their grain into
British markets, while the grain of other
countries is subjected to taxation. Neither
Canada nor Australia, the most important
colonies, want to have their manufac-
turing industries obliged to compete with
England, and 1t Is not likely, especially.
that Sir Wilfred Laurier would, knowing
the views of the Canadian protectionists,
agree to an arrangement which would adj
nit British manufactures into Canada to
kill off domestic enterprise. A policy
such as has been proposed for England
will be fought tooth and nail by the lib
eral party, who recall that, though their
policies, the last vestige of protective
taxation was removed in 1868. 1t will
require a battle OF long duration to re-
impose the taxation against which Peel

BRITAIN'S DISAPPOINTMENT

London and indeed, the whole British
empire, was thrown into CONSERVATION
this morning by the announcement Of the
postponement of the coronation on ac-
count of the kings illness. How unex-
pected was this development may be in
ferred from the fact that the foreign am
bassadors had assembled to make for
NAL call upon the king this morning when
they were informed that he could not be
seen, but was, in fact, at that time under
going a surgical operation which the sur
geons had decided would be necessary in
order to save his life. The king had ap-
peared in public within less than "a hours
and seemed to be in satisfactory con-
dition physically. It appears, however,
that he is suffering from an intestinal
trouble, and that while his physicians
hoped to be able to carry him through the
ordeal of the coronation ceremonies, they
discovered last night that his condition
required immediate surgical attentio
and no matter how great the disappoint-
ment might be, however enormous the
expense of postponement, the first con-
sideration was the life of the king, and
immediate action was found to be neces-
sary.. -.
It was difficult for the people of Ion
don and for the subjects OF the empire
everywhere to realize the: truth. Post
ponement meant so much in the way of
disappointment and depression every
where through the empire that. the king
| urged that the coronation celebration il
| the provinces and the colonies be carried
on as originally planned although the
| actual investiture of the crown must be
postponed indefinitely. This course may
be pursued and yet it is evident. if it is
1 followed, that the Developments 'of.the
night must rob the occasion of all en-
thusiasm, that the jubilee will be more of
funeral, and that the depressing effect
will be scarcely less serious than if the
death of the king had been announced.
| Z, London was full of coronation tourists
| and sightseers. official and unofficial, the
great majority of whom, of course. will
be obliged to leave because no date can
be safely appointed for the carrying out
of the original plans. All must depend
upon the condition of the king and the
time of his recovery sufficient to permit
. him to undergo the, fatigue and thegex-
citement of the coronation cannot be
predicted. ..... I'll,

when they detect them. Mistakes there
have been, certainly. At this session; OF
congress some pledges of the republican
platform of Importance have not been car
ried out. The democrats have their OPP

Bryan and Watterson are declaring that
the democracy must occupy itself with

strength against the DOGGY imperial
ISM and trusts, the latter being no issue
at all, fer the simple reason that the

MARY MACLANE EN- ROUTE

Chicago will contain the vivacious, as we'll
as triste Miss Mary MacLane Of Butte, Mont,
during the first week in July. Miss Mary is
also going to Boston and New York. Natur-
ally having, by the notice taken of her liter
airy eruptions throughout the country, be-.
come famous, so to speak, waking up one
morning to find herself In that odd position;
that is to say, in a measure so, Miss Mary
is good natured enough to leave her mountain
home and visit the provinces where larger
number and variety Of people may see her.;
AS the leading representative Of the Marie
Bashkirtseff literary style, she may meet
with cold reception In Boston, which is not
very friendly to the unanimously emotional
and dramatic element of the Bashkirtseff
style, although Bostons leading dramatic
critic declares that Boston people are the
most stage-struck, drama-lovng folk in the
United States There is no question that
Mary MacLane Of Butte has created SEN
sation by her outbursts Of pessmism: her
robust use of the American language, her
sphinx-like aspect which would make a
monkey serious alternating with laughter
which may be interpreted as the veriest
irony, or as the articulation Of a jubilant
heart.
Now it is exceedingly probably that Mary
MacLane's book Is but the preliminary move
ment Of literary career, determined upon
some time ago. Mary MacLane has, doubt
less. concealed about her person the manu-
script Of that long -looked-for "Great Ameri-;
can Novel; Mary MacLane's book, which
has been 80 yariously criticized, may be but
the first note OF an overture which will thrill
the country and perhaps the world. That
eccentric book may be only the sounding OF
the bell which means the raising Of the cur
tain upon new and brilliant literary career.
