FEAR BEING BURIED ALIVE.
People Of All Ages Have Made Pro
vision Against such Dreaded
Ending.

Every now and then we run across
people who have a morbid fear Of be-
ing buried alive. They have cautioned
their friends about the matter. They
must not be buried until a certain num-
her OF days after they die, says Medical
Talk Numerous tests must be ap-
piled to make sure that they are really
dead. They seem TO have a constant
fear that they are going TO be buried
alive.
They have doubtless read all sorts Of
grewsome tales about tie resurrection
OF persons who have been buried alive
There are many OF these stories afioat
but the truth of the matter is they are
largely made up Of superstition and
vague rumors, there being few, II any
OF them. that are weIl-authenticated
The physician il quick 70 detect any
eign OF life, and there Is very little dan
ger Of being buried while yet alive.
Just recently, in the death Of Miss
Francis Power Cobhe, there has been a
demonstration Of this morbid fear OF be-
ing buried alive. So great was her
solicitude that in her will she directs
her medical attendant to cut the arteries
OF the neck and wiudpipe In such man
ner that Il will almost entirely sever
the head from the body In order to
make quite sure that this will be done.
she makes the penalty Of diSobedience
10 be the invalidation OF her will.
This 10 fear that has been handed
down through the ages. At one time,
in Germany. and other countries, rooms
were established in which dead bodies
we're placed, and fastened to the hand of
eAch was a bell rope Then If the sup
posed dead person were not really dead
and should make any movement. the
rope would be pulled and the bell would
ring. But the bell was never heard to
ring.
II is true there have been numerous
cases where people have been supposed
70 be dead. but were resuscitated before
burial, but the signs Of life are so well
known. and the evidences Of death so
unmistakable that there is little II any
danger Of being buried alive.

TO ERECT A MONUMENT.
Movement to Have Fitting Memorial
tn Ex-Confederates Erected.

Capt. f. j. Barrett and D.aJ. KEN
dali, delegates TO the recent reunion
Of ex- Confederate soldiers at Checotah,
presented the subject Of erecting a
monument in memory Of the heroes
killed in battle and deceased since the
close 1T the war. This resolution was
presented and was adopted:
WHEREAS, The government Of the
United States has set apart reserva-
tion Of several hundred acres Of land,
at Sulphur Springs, for public use,
and
Whereas, We fully endorse any
move adopted by the government for
the promotion OF enterprise and speedy
development of the country: and, <
Whereas, Weare credibly Informed
and believe tllat the G. A. r. will, in
the near future, proceed to the erec-
tion of a monument on said govern
ment reservation in honor of their
heroes; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we most respect
fully ask the president Of this associa-
tion OF the United Confederate Vet
erans to appoint committee consist
ing of five members whose duty 1t
shall be TO take necessary steps to
secure for the U. G. V. the privilege
of erecting a similar monument to
perpetuate the memory Of our depart
ed heroes. The said committee shall,
under the direction of the Major Gen
eral Of the department, take the nee
essary steps to present this matter to
the Congress Of the United States at
their earliest possible moment

THE Luxury or TRAVEL.
Il Is Relief from the Bondage
Which warps and Confines
Our Lives.

Half the Joy Of travel consists In meet
ing new people. So the churlish man
or the timld woman, who speaks never a
word to a fellow traveller, misses q large
share OF the pleasures OF change, says
Youths Companion We grow duh to
the very charms and virtues OF those
with whom we constantly i've We are
conscious OF kind OF bondage in their
familiar knowledge OF us and our past.
Our best stories are old to them; our
most thrilling adventures are matters
OF course; our clothes and our manners
have ceased to excite either curiosity or
admiration. With a new listener we
shall ourselves become new and better
takers.
But what OF the stay y-at-bomes? Is
there 10 spur for their jaded pace? May
they not at least import some novel ex-
perience which shall whet the appetite
FOR life and its joys?
More than once the visits OF the little
children sent from the hot streets OF the
city for a week in the fresh country
air have proved as wholesome for their
entertainers as for the entertained. A
tired housewife has grown young again
in her sympathy with the delight of her
guests. A mechanic has revived a long
forgotten Joy in his tools as he explained
them to an enthusiastic boy. A clergy
man has preached with fresh zeal to
the row Of eager children having their
first Sunday in a country Westinghouse.
II we are forced by circumstances to
stay at home there are but few who
may not give ourselves at least one OF
the Injuries Of travei--the sight OF new
faces. the sound Of new voices. and the
sympathy with lives set in an environ
ment far different from our own.
