Did You Plant Any Carnations?

Let Them Rest.

A dispatch from Washington tc
the St. Louis republican says John
Paul Jones, the first commodore OF
the American navy, may be honored
in degree commensurate with his
service to the nation if the plans OF
certain American historical and pa
triotic societies come to fruition. A
letter stating that the known resting
place Of the bones of John Paul
Jones was unmarked and unhonored
caused Secretary Moody to inquire
into the matter. He found that
Lieutenant Commander William
Sims, when naval attache of the
American embassy in Paris, invisti-
gated it probably would be impossi-
bic to identify the bones of Jones. 1t
is suggested that congress be asked
to appropriate Sl50,0O0 for the pur-
pose of recovering the bones Of John
Paul Jones, who was buried in Paris,
and bringing them back to this
country. This would be a waste of
money. 1t makes very little defer
ence the bones of the grand old hero
is buried. If this nation wants to
honor the memory Of its first naval
commander let it erect an orphan
asylum for the charldren of the men
of our navy who may be killed in
battle or die leaving their children
in need, and call it the John Paul
Jones Orphan Asylum"

who were driven out by the incoming

of this theory. This race was related

The corpse above referred to now
lies in the mummy room Of the Brit.

western bank Of the Nile, in upper

The monthly expenditures exceed the

probable that, owning to our excessive
tariff, imports will still futher decline.

not to retrench but to get more

American style, but instead Of lining
a pan OF dish as we do they cover the

the formation of blisters. Then a lay.

crust, and both are baked a delicate
