Lying at funerals was being dis
cussed by some Methodist ministers.
An old White-haired man said: s.Per-
haps it is best merely to read the
burial service over the dead, but It
is the custom in our denomination to
make few remarks, and this custom
is one hard to get away from. y have
never lied at funeral. On the other
hand. have never told the wholo
truth: Once, at the funeral OF woman
whom had profoundly admired, I
ventured to tell little Of the truth.
She was nervous, said. high strung,
and q little irritable. She wounded
her friends now and then with words
spoken in anger that she did not mean.
But she was ever ready to retract. and
no one forgave more generously than
she. Well, had loved this woman, and
I spoke Of her from a full heart, sas
I'd have spoken Of my dead sister or
my dead son. But her family never
forgave me: for saying that she had
been irritable and ). sharp-tongued.
They knew it was quite true, but they
never forgaye mo for saying It. Don't
lie. brethren, at funerals, but don't
tell the truth, either PHILADELPHIA

Review of Berlin states that plant has

inches high. The chemist, Bertoni, con-
siders this plant as Of highly important

"Glad though I have been to see

"Glad though I have been to see
your wonderful products,Your plains
and your mountains, your rivers,to
see the great cities spring up" said
President Roosevelt in one Of his
California addresses, "most Of all |
have enjoyed meeting the men and
women TO whom we owe what has
been done with mine, md railroad,
and numbering camp, and irrigated
field, and the ranch and the counting
house-the men and women who
made California what she is. I pity no
man because he has to work. envy the
man who has work worth doing
and does it well; and surely no men
alive are more worthy Of admiration
than these men to whom it has been
given to build up giant common
wealth like this. It the fact Of do
ing the work well that counts, not
the kind Of work, as long as TINT
work is honorable. I speak to citizens
Of q community which has reached
its present pitch Of prosperity because
they have done each bis duty as his

Roosevelt will be renominated

Roosevelt will be renominated
next year by reclamation. While a
great many people in the west have
taken this for granted for months
past, yet, as q matter Of fact, there
have been many Republican leaders
in the east who have not been III &C
cord with the Presidents progressive
ideas and determined notions, who
have continually hoped that some
thing would turn up that would give
them the power to consumate bis de-
feat. One by one, on account Of the
pressure from the rank and file Of
the party, these leaders, in their re.
spective states, have been forced to
give in and last week Senator Hanna
was practically the last to succumb.
He did not desire that Ohio should
declare, at their approaching state
convention, for the denomination Of
the President next year. Senator
Foraker took issue with him and the
pressure was made so strong that
Hanna was forced, even in advance
Of the convention, to acquiesce. 1t
will not DO forgotten that Kansas at
her state convention last year was
the first Of all the states to declare in
advance for President Rooseyelt's re-
nomination in 1904. From the time
Of this declaration on the part Of
Kansas one state after another has
made similar declaration, until
now, year in advance Of the nation
al convention, the Presidents re-
nomination without opposition is an
assured fact. The fact is that nine
tenths Of the Republican voters in
the country are with Roosevelt.
The Kansas Republican state conven-
ton only reflected the sentiment Of
the Republicans Of the state, but it
was done OF an opportune time and
under circumstances that make it Of
particular value to the Presidents
political fortunes, and the state may
