A Home Coming Memorial.

1t has become quite the custom
airy thing for cities to erect perman-
ent memorials to great events In
their history. Scarcely city in the
country has had an event of special
prominence in its public life, but
that 1t has established some sub
stantial memorial by which to re-
mind all of the event.
1t seems to us that nothing in the
past quarter century or more has
made as great an impression upon
our people and the outside world as
the Home Coming. Why not unite
in doing something to reme.nber it
by? Why not erect one or more per-
manent electric arches to beautify
Water street, which can be utilized
on all public occasions, and may for
years to come be pointed to as being
erected in remembrance of the Home
Coming? Who 10 there in the city
who would object TO the City Coun-
Gil appropriating enough TO do this?
1t would cost but little. and we
would look upon it with pride in the
coming years. What say you, City
Fathers?
Or Pc haps an electric fountain
upon the northwest Garner of the
court house square, or something
equally as good. Let Us have sug-
gestions.

Newspaper men often whiningly
complain that their efforts are not
appreciated. They rail at the
whom they boost" and feature and
write up because those people do not
fall over themselves to get up to the
print shop with a bunch Of printing
or other patronage. Why do they
do it? Is boosting" people just to
get little patronage all they are in
the newspaper business for? Why
not run a newspaper on business
principles and see if that will not be
the winning way? A newspaper. to
be a newspaper, should treat friend,
foe, booster and knocker equally
alike when it comes down to pub
fishing the news. All churches and
societies should be treated alike.
News is news and any time a news
paper man transforms news into
puffs and taffy, boosts or soft soap.
he prostitutes his profession and
ceases to be a newspaper man except
In name. No sensible newspaper
man will puff church, society, club
or individual, merely to curry patron
age. 1t is his business to tell the
truth in the news and publish the
news as news and nothing else. Just
because he wishes to work a little
patronage out of somebody is no rea-
son why he should infiict a lot of
slush upon his readers instead of
legitimate news. But the putting
habit has such hold on some news
paper editors that many of their pa
irons expect lot of soft soap and
slush about themselves or they will
throw their patronage to the other
fellow. They are always fishing for
compliments and are sore If they
don't get them. But If they do get
them the other readers of the paper
are disguised. 1t is better to dis
gruntle select selfish and egotistical
few than to nauseate a whole COM
munity of readers. The sensible
news man will give every item of
news all the space it deserves and
cut out the slush, it matters not even
IL 1t concerns the best people" of
his community. The so-called best
people" are not better than anybody
else when it comes to the serving of
plain, legitimate news. The same
rule applies to churches, lodges,
clubs and societies and the newspa-
per man who would succeed in the
end will adhere strictly to the news
and eliminate the soft soap, the
puns and the slush.-Manson Demo-
crat.

When the brain refuses to work
there il temptation to steal the
thoughts of others.
Men who are capable of much work
are often careless as to the quality.
There Is no more certain way to
drive a man to the devil than to show
him that you think he is headed
that way.
Love never wanes so rapidly as
when 1t knows it is under suspicion.
Kindness, like money is of little
value unless kept in circulation.
He is a wise man who accepts his
friends as he finds them and thanks
the Lord they are no worse.
People who insist upon reforming
all the habits of their friends soon
have no friends to reform.
Many a man who pirates loudly of
public spirit is a confirmed tax dodg-
er.
Meanness is the voluntary express
son OF a cruel nature; cruelty fire.
quently is the involuntary sequence
of meanness.
When a man has learned that he
knows nothing about women he has
learned all there is to know about
tnem.
A man who does not love women
in the abstract is not to be trusted
to love one woman in the concrete.
Too many people make the mis-
take of thinking that conversation
to be interesting must be a debate.
The man who argues the least usu-
ally climbs the highest.
Wisdom frequently lacks in wit,
but true wit is never without wis
dom.
One of the greatest beauties of
motherhood is the inability to see
anything but beauty and goodness
in it's offspring.
Some women have the idea that
love for a man is best shown in boss
ing him.
When we see man and wife who
can go through siege of house
cleaning without a quarrel we know
the woman is an angel or the man a
martyr-or both.
Somehow it isn't in human nature
for the publisher of a newspaper to
mourn deeply when he secs business
going to a catalogue house instead of
to the store of man who doesn't be-
lieve in advertising.
A woman should not marry man
if she Is not willing to condone in the
husband the traits she has counte-
nanced in the lover; and a man
should not marry girl if he is not
willing to accept in the wife the
foibles which attracted him in the
sweetheart. Marriage will not elm
nate the traits of the one nor the
foibles of the other.

New Funeral Fashion.

A brand new wrinkle has been In
vented In Lincoln, Nebraska, in the
way of funerals. The whole city
and much of the state Is talking
about 1t and from present indica-
tons 1t bids fair to become the pop.
ular style in Nebraska.
The new form consists of laying
the body Of the deceased out on Q
sofa in a natural position instead OF
in q coffin. The first instance IL
which the plan was tried was at the
funeral Of the late /. M. Raymond
one of the wealthiest men in Ne
braska, who has just died. Mr.
Raymond was a brother of DR.. v. p
M. Raymond, president of Union col
lege, Schenectady, N. Y. He lived II
Lincoln forty years and was one Of
the pioneers who helped the city and
state develop into the position they
now occupy in American affairs. Fol-
quarter of century the Raymond
family has been the foremost infiu
ence in social affairs there and dur.
ing these years Mr.. Raymond amass
ed a great fortune.
The relatives and friends who
gathered at the large Raymond home
for the funeral of the dead pioneer
were astonished, upon entering the
parlor, to behold the body of the late
financier stretched out on sofa as
if the breath of life still surged
through it. The head and shoulders
were elevated on sofa pillows and
more pillows we're piled at the back
One leg dropped naturally over the
edge of the sofa and the foot rested
on the floor. In fact it was difficult
to realize that Mr.. Raymond was mo-
alive and that he had not merely
dropped down on the sofa for q res
and fallen asleep. The coffin wa,
not in evidence and the floral offer
ings which had been sent, were
banked on the side Of the room.
The idea of laying out the body II
this manner was the wife's. Mrs
Raymond felt she could not stand
the grief and torture Of seeing hel
husband in a coffin and so she pro
posed that the body be dressed IL
the business clothes of the late
owner and placed upon the sofa
where it had rested so many timei
when the husband and father wa,
alive. After the first shock those
present at the funeral were favora'
bly, impressed with the new funeral
arrangement. The minister appear.
ed and conducted the services, q
quartette sang and then all but the
undertaken retired. The body was
then placed in a casket and carried
to the hearse which conveyed it to
the cemetery.
Following the style set by the Ray
monds, whose presidents have beer
law in social Lincoln for years, nu
merous bereaved families have used
the new form. Undertakes and
ministers generally encourage 1t as
they say it robs the funeral services
of much of it's customary repulsive-
ness.-Ex.
