Decoration day was fittingly OBJ
served in Occur d'Alene yesterday.
At ten o'clock in the morning the pa
ade formed to march to Forest ceme-
terry. The band headed the procession
and wore for the first time their new
uniforms. Next in line came the
drill team of the Modern Woodmen Of
America in uniform. This place was
reserved for Company B, but owing

Of the members present to take the
place The w. e. c. and G. A. r..
followed by the school children, were
next IN order, and the company boys
having got enough to make a showing
hlied in the rear. The course Of the
march was along Sherman to Second

expressed the hope that in the future
the singers at funerals would give
them utterance and expression. MI.
smith also alluded to the great pro-
fusion Of flowers which covered the
casket, and said that they seemed TO
him to be useless expense. AL.
though. he continued, the floral offer
ings we're indicative of respect and
love for the dead, he thought that
the money which was expended for
them could be put to much better use
In many instances. He regretted that
the Saints we're disposed to follow the
practices Of the Gentiles In many
things. They had even come into the
habit OF employing nurses and ply
sicians in cases of sickness. He was
sure that it would be much better II
the sisters would allow nature to take
it's course, even In cases of accouch-
ment, (slthough he put 1t in courser
words, than to enlist the services of
a doctor. Mr.. Smith said that he had
been so thoroughly advertised That he
would not be backward in saying that
he had five wives and forty-three
children; and he was proud to say
that in his families tn services of a
nurse or a physician had not been re-
quired.
Leaning over the flower laden bier,
he extolled the virtues of the dead
and addressed himself particularly tc
the bereaved husband. telling him
that, inasnauCh as be had family Of
children, 1t waa his duty to flnd {
helpmeet to care for them and for hii
household.

New York Prohibits Singing or Men
tioning Christmas Time Because of
SectarianIsm.
New York, Nov. ga published
account has 1t that the board OF ed
ucation has ordered that no hymn
book or carol in any way mention
ing Christ or Christmas shall be sung
henceforth In the public schools Of
New York. The order is contained in
instructions given by Frank R. Rix,
general musical director, to all the
teachers under him, that pupils must
not be permitted to sing songs con-
tanning religious significance. Not
only this, but 1t Is learned that the
song books in use in the schools are
now in the hands OF printers for re-
vision, so that they may be free
from all sectarian reference, even
the words Christ" and christmas"
The boards action Is the result OF
agitation a year ago by Jews, depu-
tations OF whom appeared before the
board and complained that the Christ
mas festival. as celebrated in the
schools, was essentially sectarian. No
action was taken at the time, but the
matter was referred to the committee
on elementary schools the chairman
Of which is Abraham Stern. That
committee reported favorably in IA
vor Of eliminating all sectarian ref
erence from the song books and the
board Of superintendent adopted the
| report.
