i Gretchens face grew sterner. "Were
you afraid?"
1 "For a moment. have never run
afoul the police. I thought perhaps VIC
were all to be arrested"
Perhaps you did not care to have
the police ask you questions?"

In the middle ages drinking glasses
and cups were rare and they were
generally mounted upon foot or stem
of gold or silver, enriched with pre-
cious stones. Not until the fifteenth

morists are not numerous. They would
even be less numerous II they were

Humorists misspend their lives in
digging up petrified puns. which they
revive, remodel and retail. A new tail

available.
When joke is available, the editor
usually promises to pay on publica-

editors joke. So, being humorist is
no joke. Neither will being a joke
make you humorist, though humor-
lists are usually 1okers.
A humorist is known by his joking.
and good Joke doesn't die young. A

Considerations of modern sentiment
have operated generally to maintain
the custom Of interring instead Of
incinerating the dead; yet, with the
Greeks, sentiment centered itself
about the latter, and in literature the
funeral pyre has q Significance as fine
as the graves. Certain pioneering
spirits have essayed with some sue
cess to give beauty to the baptism Of
flame. wherein mortal clay becomes
dust, and have directed that their
ashes be flung to the winds from the
top of some lofty tower or cast into
the sea at flood tide; or, as in the
case of the New York banker, who
died the other day, that they be fed
to the flowers"
Economic reasons, at any rate in
the neighborhood of large cities, will
tend more and more to make incinera-
tion gain headway at the expense OF
interment. The land Is needed. Most
buria1s near cities, as matter of
fact, are only temporary. In the cap
ital of Mexico this is frankly recog-
nized, and when the poor man takes a
plot In a graveyard 1t is with the
knowledge that some years later his
bones are to be dispossessed; he rents
rather than buys outright. Many of
the small parks in this city occupy
the sites of old cemeteries.
