CARE OF GENE TER|ES
Suggestions For Beautifying Ru-
raj Homes of the, Dead.
LITTLE LABOR NECESSARY.
Some Warden or Committee Should
BE Put In Charge Of the Work, With
Small Fund to Draw Upon-How to
Keep Lots In Order.

In the 1stidying up that takes place
by all enterprising and public spirited
citizens along streets and on private
grounds, country residents should bear
IN mind that there is another spot in
Which many Of them have tender in
terest that is usually in great need Of
their attention and efforts, writes
correspondent Of the Farm Progress.
This is the little rural cemetery.
Very rarely nowadays is it in con-
nectiol with church or chapel, and
this tends to its greater isolation and
neglect, SO that in most cases, as OBJ
served from passing railroad trains,
trolleys and wagon roads, the observer
is depressed by the forgotten, forlorn
and dismal aspect it presents, with
long grass and weed stalks covering
the mounds and washing clay Of
gravel obliterating the walks and
drives
Fortunately such burial places are
no longer very frequent in thickly
populated districts.
There is no reason why the rural
cemetery should not, on less exten
sive and pretentious scale than that
adopted by the city cemetery, manifest
the same remembrance and taste in its
appointments and be made a beauty
spot instead of a blot on the land
scape. Some warden or committee
should have the matter in charge with
a small fund to draw upon for labor
and required materials for keeping the
inclosing fences and gates in repair,
the trees neatly trimmed and the
walks and drives well defined and
clear of weeds.
Owners OF lots should attend to the
matter of keeping curbings and head
stones in place, the grass neatly clip
ped and flowers cared for. 1t would
then be a comfort to mourners and
pleasure to others to visit it frequently,
and the thought Of being laid to rest
under sthe shade of beautiful trees in
whose: boughs birds would nest and
sing with the summer air perfumed
by flowers interspersed among the me-
mortal marbles would not seem repel
liant to the most sensitive natures.
To avoid the sense of loneliness
which one or two might feel in work
ing here by themselves, an arrange
ment might be made BY which repre-
sentatives, both men and women, from
the different families interested could
60 out together upon certain days Of
spring and summer and put their re
spectiye lots in order and also those
that had no one to care for them. AS
an entire day two or three times dur
ing the season would not be too long
for the work required. arrangements
might be made for a quiet dinner
either within the grounds or on some
adjacent spot and neighborly sociabil-
ity be thereby promoted.
By some such plan great and most
desirable transformation might be eft.
fected in all our rural burial places

Cricket is fairly well known pas

Muggleton eleven discovered one OF

Ut came to pass that certain half

This story relates the experiences of 4
lad who began his career as cabin
boy on pirate ship. Throughout the
first fifteen chapters he was ropes
ended from one end of the ship to the
other end. and very often he was fell
ed to the deck by.a heavy fist. He
lived through enough hardships to
have killed a battalion Of Turkish sol
dicrs, but in the end he rose upon
them. Yes, he rose upon them. HOrdes
of pirates fell before his intrepid arm,
and in the last chapters of the book he
is seen jauntily careering on his own
hook as one of the most gallOus pirate
captains that ever sailed the seas.
Naturally when this tale was thor
oughIy understood by the tribe they
had to dramatiZe it. although it was
a drama tization that would gain no
royalties for the author. Now, it was
plain that the urchin who was cast
for the cabin boys part would lead

tiers which would attract few actors
