A funeral long to be remembered
by the residents Of the Marion pike,
near Locustwood Cemetery, Haddon-
field, took place amidst the tears Of at
least one truly sincere mourner the 9th
er day. There was large concourse
Of people present, and there were many
pathetic incidents. While it was only
the funeral of a yellow dog, all the de-
tails were. carried out with more pomp
than accorded many human beings.
The dog had been one of very Ordi-
nary kind. Yet he had many good
qualities and was not only priced, but
loved by his owner, Mrs. Nita j.
Smith. When he died her grief was
intense, and at |: cost OF several thou
sand dollars she had mansoleum pre-
pared for the animal. Locustwood Gem
etery is owned by Mrs. Smith, and q
lot in it was chosen as the place for
the dogs last resting place. and here
he reposes in an expensive casket.
George St0ckhauser was the nnder-
taker and ]. Vascarlo, J. Passcdro, +.
Birch and M. JacoDy acted as pail bear
crs. Mrs. Smith has arranged to have
erected monument over the mauso-
lenm, on which will be engraved the
dates Of the dogs birth and death and
summary Of his many good qualities.

A warning note is struck by lady,
who has both medical and literary
skill, against the reckless disregard Of
those laws which make for beauty, the
London World states. We English are
growing palmer. she AYERS, simply be-
cause we allow wen our children to be
affected by the stress and strain Of
modern life The smartness, the abii-
ity to look after themselves and the
athleticism of the women and children
Of the present time spell physical ruin,
Beauty is rarely seen nowadays in its
unadorned style. Lovely women are
artificial products, and really lovely
children are as scarce as auk's eggs
The reason Is that our expressions
have grown anxious, eager, cold our
limbs and members are strained out
Of shape of overexercise, our complex
ions ana hair are starved for lack Of
nerve force. The exquisite complex
ions, luxuriant locks, delicate features
and clear, innocent-looking eyes that
one associates with beauty are 50 sell
dom seen as to be quite remarkable
when they are, and we are threatened
with still further decrease Of these
elements Of good looks unless we bring
back our girls to the prunes and prisms
style OF upbringing, which perhaps
after all is the best for them. The
.largeF life" certainly has its draw
backs.

Samuel Preeine, of Monroe Town
ship, died some years ago, leaving an
estate which, after his death, was APP
praised at $4,000. He left win pro
viding legacies for various relatives.
but it appears he over estimated the
value Of his estate, astthere We're spe-
eific legacies OF $4,000 and provision
for the distribution OF considerable
more. Litigation was started, and it
has been back and forth in the courts
for several years A final settlement
was reached the oth,r day, when Judge
Woodbridge Strong signed an order for
a distribution Of the estate. All that
was left was $4,000 The rest Was
eaten up in fees and costs.

American farm crops really undcrlie
The prosperity OF both continents, as
serts the Massachusetts Ploughman.
America. including Canada, raises onc-
fifth the worlds wheat, four-fifths its
corn, one-quarter its oats and four
iifths it's cotton. The railroads and
steamship lines depend on the staples
for freight, the factories and mills for
the raw material and the people az
large for food and clothing supply.
Hence the whole civilized world must
feel the effect Of good crop year
in America. A scarcity would mean
high cost OF living and decreased en-
ployment.

Are women meaner il giving then
men? 1t cannot rightly be urged that
they are. Women, after all, in buying
or in giving, are commonly making use
OF money that others have earned.
They have been trustees for other peo-
pies money for 1000 years, and long
use has made them careful Of their
trust. or course, the petty meannesses
of certain kind of women have af-
forded infinite opportunities for mems
jests and contempt, but those petty
WEAKNESSES are nothing in comparison
with the great meannesses of really
sordid men.-The Spectator.

ANOTHER PIERRE FAKE
These "Reservolr Filings" and the
Thousand Pond tioIes."

"Th0uSand Pond Holes"
One of the latest fakes concocted by
the Pierre capital committee and sent
out by the press bureau for publica-
tion is a fairy story about the reser-
voir filings, which the public is asked
to believe will make ''greater area OF
water surface west of the Missouri
than exists in all the rivers and lakes
in that portion of the state east Of the
river" Reference to the matter was
made by the GRAPHIC last week.
Whereupon Chamberlain reader sits
down and sends US the subjoined COM
Munication. Read 1T. 1t will give
you an idea Of how little worth at
tatches to anything sent out by Pierre
Here is how the reservoir filings are
creating deluge OF moisture west of
the temporary capital city:
''Editor of the GRAPHE That res
ervoir filing business will bear a still
closer investigation. II the filings
made at the Pierre land office produce
no greater results than those made at
the Chamberlain land office it will be
some time before second Noah's ark
will be needed west Of the present
state capital. The reservoir filings
are pure shams-like a good many
other fakes going on in the land busi-
ness, and which Pierre seems to be
working to the limit these days.
| The bill providing for water rights
was originally intended to protect
from interference the reservoirs con-
structed by the Milwaukee road tor
stockmen driving their stock through
to Chamberlain for Shipment. But
under the billt hrere have been 934 en-
tries Of this kind at the Chamberlain
land office alone-Reservoir Declara-
tory Statements. One man fled %
such filings. A large number OF these
reservoir claims have never been seen
by the parties filing.
Most all of them were made by per-
sons who thought they would be able
''to cover up" some of the public lands
and hold up for a good sum any per-
son making a homestead entry on
them. But the department, seeing
into the matter, issued an order per-
nitting any person to FLEA homestead
over these water filings, such entry to
be subject to the right of the reser-
voir declarent.
Under the law, the one who files
the declaratory statement must build
La dam within two years; and though
the time has now elapsed on many of
these filings, | learn from the land
office that only one such filing out of
the 924 has been completed and that
there are only ten or twelve more that
have submitted proof showing any at
tempt whatever to comply with the
law. From this 1T would appear that
not to exceed one in fifty has been
made in good faith.
A good many Of these water rights
have been cancelled by the DEPART
lment in cases where the homesteads
haye been filed on the same tract and
the time has elapsed and nothing
been DONE"

THE oLD-FASHIONED BATH
An Invigorating Indulgence Espe- cially Beneficial to Persons
 Who Are filling.

An 1880 bath is the very latest thing. It is a bath made of sweet scented water in which there is enough acid to be invigorating. It is bath of a previous generation and it is one which every athlete of the present day should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 To make an 1880 bath take tub of hot water and pour into it quart of bath vinegar If one can afford it. If one cannot indulge in this extrava- gance, then take pint. If this is too much at least pour in few table spoonfuls.
 A bath in bath vinegar is good for the muscles It drives away rheuma- tism, it cures neuralgia, it is just the thing for stiff neck, and it takes the ache out of tired bones.
 A rose geranium bath is recom- mended to those who have neuralgia and sharp aches and pains. There is something very soothing about the odor of rose geranium. It lulls the senses as not even violets can do.
 The aromatic bath, partly ammonia, is liked by those who feel faint and is the bath of baths for the woman with a weak heart. Let the woman whose heart does not beat well practice walk ing. Let her take the walking exer- cises vigorously. Then let her take bath in aromatic vinegar and let her finally steep her nose in bottle of the vinegar. and while she is dressing let 8 saucer of it stand in the room. This is the best way to get the full scent of the vinegar and the best results from it.
 Camphorated baths are much too powerful for any but the sick. The person who has sprains or bruises can take mild camphorated bath, but it is not pleasant bath nor one which can be recommended for daily use. Taken all in all there is nothing quite as pleasant as the rose .geranium bath nor one that is cheaper. A great bot tie, half gallon, of the scent can be made for a dollar and this will last a long time.

FOR NEEDLEWoRKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Emery Up- on Which to Employ Their
 Spare Time.

A fad of the moment is to have laced or embroidered cuff and stock pieces edged entirely around with ruching. The cuff pieces are simply pasted over the wristbands When the ruching is soiled new ruche may be put on and so the handsome or delicate lace is saved much washing.
 One of the embroidery designs in field flowers which is attractive is daisy pattern upon table center piece. Large centers with white couched edge and the pattern stamped inside this cost $15O. The edges should be finished with a broad band of lace. The design is worked in white and green.
 A prime factor in cozy corner is a cushion of green burlap embroidered with red raf1a. The design is of clus- ters of cherries. The realism of this pillow is further carried out by having the corners finished with large punches of natural-looking velvet cherries on . green wire stem.
 The prettiest of the new summer cushion covers are in sheer muslin or lawn, with embroidered monogram or Marie Antoinette festooned borders, or Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers all done in exquisite stitches in white, and brought into relief by being placed over a cushion covered in rose, blue, yellow or mignonette green.
 Bedroom slippers of the hand cro- cheted order echo the universal vogue of %ho ro1I>o do< Tho cv,o rt act If th oco are now made to come very high on the ankle and turn over, forming sort of cuff. Larke white polka dots occur on a background of pink or lavender, or a white surface is treated with large dots in pink or blue.
 A pretty pincushion that girl can make for herself, or for gift, is cir cular affair of violet colored silk or satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow der. Around this are sewed millinery violets, arranged in such way that the cushion is almost hidden away in the blossoms. The stems are tied as if in g bouquet at the back.
 A pretty and comfortable kimono may be made from an old shirt waist. Re- move the gathers at the waist. Take off the collar band and cut the neck V-shape. Remove the cuffs and gathers at the wrist. Now take cloth of a contrasting color and sew a strip two inches wide around the bottom of the waist and the sleeves, up the fronts and around the neck and your dressing sack is com- plete.

HIS FIRST WATERsPoUT.
Green Sailor Boy Wanted to See One, and He Was Quickly Ac-
 commodated.

A waterspout is one of the first things a green sailor boy wants to see. He has read about it as one of the wonders of the sea, and it rouses his keenest curi- osity. He gets the old sailors to promise to call him when one is sighted. They promise, winking stealthily at each oth- CT, relates an exchange.
 The ship gets down into tropical wa ters, and the boy is told that a water spout may come along almost at any time.
 One night he is awakened suddenly. An old sailor shakes him.
 Come on! Hurry up. young feller: there's waterspout on the starboard bow bearing right down on us."
 The boy hastens up the companion- way without waiting to dress, and as he darts out on deck he is thrown down by a mass of water descending on him ikea kuntain. He struggles to
