FUNERAL FLOWERS.
Hospitals Do Not Like to Receive
Elaborate Floral Pieces.


"What in the world inspires people
to send elaborate and costly floral
pieces directly from a funeral to hos
pital?" said an official Of Bellevue
hospital the other day, when an an
dertaker unloaded dozen anchors,
harps, pillows, etc, on the hospital
lawn, according to the New York
Sun.
"This is only one case out Of many
in which people who think they are
doing an act Of kindness get no
thanks whatever for their pains.
What do you imagine would be the
feelings of a score Of patients. some
of whom are dangerously i'll, if they
saw that big floral harp placed in a
conspicuous position in the ward,
knowing, as they certainly would,
what purpose the flowers had recent
" served: Would the thought that
their own friends might be contrib
uting floral pieces before long hasten
their recovery to any extent?"
81 won't allow such things in my
ward" said house physician. ''The
patients simply won't have them be-
cause they know Immediately what
use they have been put to-"
As for these particular flowers,
they were left on the lawn until
nurses and hospital employees who
didn't care what they had been used
for carried them away and relieved
the hospital authorities Of the
trouble of disposing Of them.
Many undertakes separate the
funeral flowers from the wire frame
work, and turn them in to the hos.
pitfalls in the shape of bouquets, max
ing them both useful and acceptable
and destroying the evidences of the
purposes which they have served.

Inc st. Paul Dispatch says:
The proposed Minnesota Farmers
organization did not start out with
any tco great an en- nthusiasm
At the9 meeting in the afternoon
there were but six farmers present to
listen to the organizers who were here
from Chicago to urge state organiza.
tion. Those present thought there
was some very grave obstacles in the
way.
J. S. Mcdonald, of Rush City, said
that he had attended three meetings
which had practically the same purpos-
es as the organization proposed, but
that nothing ever came of any of
them. Farmers were too busy too
take up the work of organizing them.
selves. The essential thing was money
with which to pay expert organic era
who would give all their time to the
work.
S M. Owen Of Minneapolis, said
the question had been agitated for
twenty years without result, and or
ganization on such gigantic lines was
futile. Before farmers thought of
forming an immense national combi-
nation they must first learn to cooper.
ate at home, which they have not
done yet.

signatories were Lord Chief Justice Al

they emphasized their attitude by
walking out OF the cabinet room in the
