AN OFFER OF CEMETERY LOTS
Circular Gives Mr.. Gimme rton Lit
tie Jolt, But He Is Going to
Think 1t over.

In the midst of life we are in
death, | know said Mr.. Glimmerton,
"and yet it does jog me little to get
this circular from cemetery offering
lots for sale.
I'VE know we've got to go some
time, but we really don't expect to go
soon. Building lots we might have
some use for; but burial lots! Well,
we don't expect to be buried right
away.
AT the same time here is propo-
sition to sell me burial plot at
moderate price and on favorable
terms. | might want it some day;
most people do have need for such
place sooner or later. Several hum
dred people in New York die every
week; all have to be buried some
where. wonder sometimes where
they all are buried. Big as the GENE
teries are you'd think that by this time
they must be pretty nearly filled, SC
that it would be impossible to buy
good plot in them at moderate price.
And that in fact is just what this cir
cular that I'm speaking about, of the
new cemetery, sets forth.
1T comes to me this morning by
mail along with the letters and with
the circulars about soap and coffee
and millinery and that sort of thing,
all quite in the usual way, and though
it is quite different from all these it is
businesslike and straightforward
throughout.
1T does give me little jolt be-
cause it offers me an opportunity to
buy a place to be buried in. And yet
I really don't know why it shouldn't
do that, and guess 1 shall have to
think it over, take the proposition I'M
der consideration. Maybe / shall not
buy lot right away because | don't
really expect to die soon; don't you
know how it is always the other fell
low we think is going to die and not
ourselves? But l like the way the
proposition is put and l shall keep this
cemetery in mind.
I'VE don't buy cemetery lots as we
do soap and coffee and millinery, but
we've all got to have one some time.

raise your rent"
What for?" asked Jones, anxiously.
Have taxes gone up?"
NO." the landlord answered, "but l
see you've painted the house and put
in a new range and bathtub. That, OF
course, makes it worth more rent"

Sailors and officers of the Norwe-
gian steamship Minerva, which sailed
for Baltimore to load coal, claim that
they have on board the original and
authentic "cat that came back" and
moreover thi. feline cannot be lost.
The sailC7s declare that the cat
boarded the Minerva of her own free
will at the Lamberts Point coal piers
over year ago, and that she at once
became a favorite on board.
The steamer was then loading a
cargo Of coal for Portland, Ore, and
In some way the cat got left behind
when she lifted anchor and steamed
on her 3.00Omile voyage.
She had been at her destination
eight days when one morning the cat
again walked on board. and the only
way the sailors could figure out how
she got there was that she had
slowed away below, but several days
later the mystery was solved when 1t
was discovered that after the Minerva
had left Norfolk the cat boarded q
British steamer going the same way.

of the Minerva at Portland. followed

''POsitiOns Guaranteed. !"

Positions Guaranteed" is the
headline used in the advertise

in themselves to make for our
school such reputation tkat our
students have no trouble in Sc
curing rapid promotion. AS we
have not had a single student out

days who have taken either the
combined or shorthand course,
and only two that had only the
straight bookkeeping course.
which is a little hard to place
this time of the year. Nearly
every one who employs a book
keeper does that during the fall
of the year, and do not wait un-
til the spring. You can readily
see by this that we could afford
to guarantee positions, 50 fas as
the securing of positions is con-
cerned, but we do not want to
hold out this as the only induce
ment to secure patronage. Any
school can give a guaranty con-
tract to place you in some kind
Of position, but they won't guar

will duplicate the guarantee of
any other school after explaining
its contents to the prospective
