Space will not permit us to fol-
low Seagrave in his struggle after
his remittances were ordered paid
to a distant cousin, but it was not
long one. After he had operated
a dray line for few months he
noticed a change in the attitude OF
the people; they came to him for
advice, recognizing brains in a
drayman which they failed to see
in remittance man. Step by step
he arose. From dray line to a
railway line is long step, but he
covered it. His natural ability
and great ambition, which had
formerly been weighted down by
$3.50 per month, helped him along;
he won friends and influence, and
now is respected and looked up to,
has a place in the world and is proud
of it He has produced something
worth while. He now understands
why the West places remittance
men and tramps in the same cate
CORY. The only difference is in
the clothes they wear. AS far as
production goes, the tramp has
a shade the best Of it as he pro-
duces work for the police.
Seagrave is again on horseback
returning from the second reunion
at Old Jimmy's since he started to
work. He smiles at the recollec-
ton of Jimmy's toast of the night
before: "To the Hon. Mr.. Sea-
grave, the next senator from the
Evergreen State, a captain of in
dustry and an ex-remittance man."
"And to think" he says, eff were
not for Jimmy I might still be
looking for the secret, and it's so
deucedly simple too. If you wish
to gain happiness and respect go

On EpitaphS.
Sermons in stones"

ScTulOuS III SGOu0S.
One would naturally think that
the most unlikely spot to find ma
terial for mirth and laughter would
be cemetery, and if we suggested
a visit there to hypochondriac
to rid himself of the blues, he
would conclude we were fit SUBJ
ject for an insane asylum. Never
theless, the fact remains that even
Mark Twain's wit pales when con-
fronted with some of the inscrip-
tons found in the old churchyards
in England.
Our great-grandparents in the
old country seemed to have come
to the conclusion that if they could
not defeat that grim warrior, Death,
they would at least rob him of his
terrors and make him look as ri
diculous as possible, teaching
posterity to laugh at him. The
following epitaphs are samples
from many the writer has cleaned
out of those old burial grounds
within radius of three miles of
his own home. The first one,
speaks volumes as to the amiability
Of the fair sex 200 years ago, for
then as now ofttimes marriage was
feast in which "the grace was
better than the dinner" and was
at once the star of hope to hus-
bands, and the danger flag to
bachelors:
"Here lies my wife-so let Der lie,
She's at rest and so am l"
The next also seems to hint that
ladies could in those days use their
tongues quite freely:
"Here lies returned to clay
Miss Arabella Young,
Who on the first of May
Commenced to hold her tongue"
One more about the fair ladies'.
This would lead us to infer that
even in the "goodold times young
ladies were embryonic angels:
"Here lies the body Of Martha Glynn
Who was SO very pure within,
She cracked this outer shell Of skin
And Matched herself cherubim.".
From the following one would
conclude that our English forefa-
theirs were not only stoical, but
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1903-04-23

custom? After reading many such,
we don't wonder at the little girls
question to her mother who was
taking her through cemetery and
reading the inscriptions: "Ma,
where are all the bad people bur-
led? There are only good ones
here S. D.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1903-04-23

also that the missionaries had not
gone about very much:
"Here old Maggothy Johnston lies,
No body laughs and no body cries,
Where he's gone or how he fares
No body knows, nor no body cares"
The writer was under the i'm
preston that nits we're very much
alive until he read the following:
"Here lie two fair babes as e'er you'll see,
AS God Almighty gave to we,
But they were o'ertaken with ague fits
And here they lie as dead as nits."
Our next just gives us aglimpse
of the Darby and Joan life of the
peasantry of old England:
"Here lies John and with him Mary,
Cheek by jowl, and jowl by jerry,
Here together they lie you see,
John wants no pipe and Moll no tea.'
The next seems to view the grim
reaper very complacently and
philosophically:
"The Lord saw good, was topping off
wood
And down fell from tree,
I received check, and broke my
blessed neck
And so Death toppled off me-"
The following might have been
written in 1908 instead Of 1724:
"Here lies John the carrier of Lead
vile,
Who carried the can of ale to his mouth
we'll,
He carried it so long and he carried it
so fast,
He could carry it no longer so was
carried at last,
Now all that remains of our carrier
John
Lies under this stone, and is now
carbon"
The writer's grandfather knew
the person upon whose gravestone
the following is written, and said it
was most opposite and appropriate:
"Jacob Wright was laid here
June 4, 1929.
Asleep as usual"
After all, is it not as good taste
and as profitable to make our friends
seem to greet Death with humor
as to write such fulsome adulation
