almost religious fervor of tone. He
walked around where he could look at

Grave Robbers.

DIR. William Williams Keen in a book
On the subject tells some interesting
things about the men who used to rob
graves and sell the bodies to medical
schools. Dickens Jerry Cruncher in
"a Tale of Two Cities" was a "resur-
rectionlst" by night. In 1923 DR.. Keen
says there were more than 100 regular
professional grave robbers in London,
besides occasional volunteers. They
did a large business in a perfectly or
ganiZed manner. Sometimes" re-
marks DR.. Keen, they picked up cases
of ~apopleXy In the street, carried them
as relatives to the hospital and as rela-
lives claimed and removed them after
death to sell to anatomlsts." The resur-
r%ectionists presently began to create
subjects for dissection-in other words,
to murder people. William Burke.
who gave his name to the crime of
burking, or throttllng, murdered six
teen persons before he was caught.
His trial, of "unexampled length" said
the judge in charging the jury, lasted
twenty-four hours. 1t was the very
atrocity of Burke and his fellows that
brought about such change of laws that
medical colleges no longer have to deal
with resurrectionists and starved the
professional grave robbers out of bust
aess.

A Farm Girls Personality.

One evening at a musicale | was i'll
troduced to a young lady, an artist,
who impressed me by her exquisite
manner and her distinguished, attrac-
tive personal presence. A royal lady
might well have envied hat young
woman her correct English and the
clear, sweet voice in which she pro-
nounced it. Education, refinement,
high breeding, gentle courtesy, unfail-
ing and unforgetting, toward others
all these were printed upon the very
atmosphere around that young lady.
l wondered in what family of gentle
birth and breeding the girl had been
reared.
Well, where do you suppose she got
her polished manner and her eXqui-
site courtesy?
She was born and brought up on a
farm in the central part of this Union,
in the corn belt" Barefoot she had
dropped corn" day after day in her
childhood, had hoed potatoes, MIXED
cows, made butter, done the family
washing, worked in the vegetable gar
den and done every one of the whole
some, homely tasks country girls ONE
times consider a hardship. She had
done homework to help pay for her art
education. At the same time she kept
her eyes open to learn at all points.
If she heard q voice that was partic-
ularly musical she analysed the voice
to find in what It's attractiveness con-
sisted and made the quality her. own.

GRATITUDE

Julia Forman watched her two
friends run down the beach together
and plunge, with a shout of laughter,
into the big wave that rolled up to
meet them. 1t made n pleasant sight
FOR the crowd on the sands, but Julia
was not in a mood to be ar impartial
spectator. She had ONE down for
three days, she could not swim, and
she thought the time was too short in
which to try to learn.
Allan Wright and Bess Hart were
water comrades of many summers.
Julia would not spoil their sport. She
had known Allan Wright only in town,
and here she felt almost like an in
truder. They had urged her to join
them, but she fancied it was from po-
likeness.
Seating herself on the sand, Julia
began to dig a furrow with the heel of
her small shoe. Then she looked out

GOOD MANNERS.

The Fountain Head of True Courtesy

heaven is within ourselves.
Our are the sign whereby
the rest Of the world can put us where
we belong. The very essence of good
breeding is good will toward others,

when he said, "Be We kindly affec-

Let us say to ourselves, each n of
us, 81 will constantly cultivate the af-
lection of my family and friends" The
beginning of it is to put ourselves
mentally in their places and do moth

must we rid ourselves of any personal
habits or ways that might be offensive.
Do we like to have one of the family
come home painting and gasping as if
for her last breath and tell us she Is
tired to death and begin to pour out
all the woes of the day upon us? Then
let us never, never do that ourselves.

A Careful CObbIer.

An amusing cas- of experience
through ones appearance Is related by
a lady who went into a cobbler's shop
in a town in Scotland and left a pair of
rough and ready shoes to be mended.
She was plainly dressed as a traveller
and evidently made no particular i'm
preston ON the mind of the shoe mend
er. In a few days, on returning from
some festal occasion, the lady stopped
her carriage at the cobbler's door and
went herself into the shop to get her
shoes. But the man told her he had no
shoes belonging to her, and when she
pointed them out he fatty refused to
let her have them, insisting that they
did not belong to her. She left, deter
mined to get the aid of the police If
necessary to obtain her property, but
the next day she concluded to try
again. This time she was more sue.
c~essful, but as the man handed her
shoes to her he told her that a strange
woman in a carriage had tried to get
them away from him.
"She was a sight BONNER than your
self, but l wur moo carried ava VII
her." he said us he handed her the
package, and the owner of the shoes
realized that she was another sort of
woman in her travelling gown and bore
ty attire. 1t was a case of mistaken
identity that was curious and convinc-

DOESN'T IT LOOK AWFUL?

the infinite perfectibility of the human
being, physically, mentally, spiritually.
1t is that ideal which has brought the
race from the stage of the cave dwell
er. The ideal of perfection was ever
before the country girl like a rare,
sweet vision guiding her. With the
ideal, of course, went the passionate
yearning to reach it. So the girl began
life with a teachable, receptive spirit
that never left her. In every walk of
life she learned lessons that taught her
either what to do or what not to do.
She read, thought, observed and prac-
tlced. If another had a gracious, fas-
cinating presence and graceful move
ments she made these her own.
So she molds herself, SOU and body.
into perfection.

Julia's mother had taken her off to the
mountains. While they were gone AL
lan's family went to the shore for the
summer and he went with them.
Whether Bess Harris lively ways had
won him or not Julia was unable to
decide. Certainly they were very good
friends.
Julia raised her parasol and looked
out again toward the swimmers. They
were coming back now. Suddenly she
saw the girls arm go up IN he air and
then her head sank out of sight. An
instant later the man, too, had disap-
peared beneath the surface. Julia's
heart seemed to stop beating. She
could not cry out or raise herself
from the sand. Then the mans head
rose into view, and beside him he had
the girl.
Julia struggled to her feet and ran
toward the water. A broken wave
rolled up and wet her ankles, but she
did not heed 1t. She called to the bath
ing master again and again. At last
be turned, and she pointed out toward
the man and the girl. Allan was hold
ing his own, but Bess appeared to be
unconscious, and he had to support
her as a dead weight.
1t was not long before the bathing
master had gained his side, and the
two were able to reach shallow water
with their burden. Then, raising the
girls limp slenderness in his arms,
Allan carried her ashore and laid her
gently on the beach. Julia knelt by
her friend and put her ear to the wet
garment over her heart. Then she
looked up quickly to Allan.
she Is alive, thank God! Carry her
to my room, quickr' The young man
obeyed her, Julia leading the way.
BY noon of the next day Bess Hart
was strong enough to be assisted to
her own cottage. Allan came around
to inquire how she felt, and the girl
thanked him with un%restrained SINGER
ity. Julia contrived to leave them
alone soon after the man appeared.
She did not return, but walked out to
the beach as far away as she could
wander from the crowd. Again she
sat down and pressed her heel into
the sand. She heard u step behind
her, but did not turn. Then Allan's
voice asked:
did you think three days so long
a time to spend with your friends,
Miss Forman, that you must run away
and steal an hour of that from us?"
Julia could not trust herself to an
swer. The young man waited a mo-
ment before he tried again.
Have you forgotten the last talk
we had in the city, he asked.
mo, l have not forgotten" said
Julia in a low tone.
"When I heard you were coming l
thought we could go on where we left
off" persisted the voice owe her Shout
der. Then Julia turned. When she
spoke her voice had a resolute vibra-
ton In 1t as if she were forcing herself
to say the words.

know that you saved-her-life!" Then
she added with a self forgetful pleas

claimed Allan hastily. Then he spoke
again with an earnestness Julia had

Julia recalled the two last times she
