 But, evidently, in the judgement of inc leaders, the country is not yet in such a temper. for at the Chicago conference, where the candidacy or Senator La Toilette was formally pro claimed, there was a surprising silence as to the initiative. the referendum ani the recall. Neither in the resolutions nor in the speeches preceding and following their adoption, was there the slightest hint of any Of these re forms.

Earn Christian Burial.

There is an old saga Of ThorfinB ks-Isefne which shows that Ions after Christianity was introduced Into the north il was the practice to bury the dead in unhalloWed ground on ths land where they died, and that stake was set up over the grave. When .he priest siterward came. says the sage. the stake was pulled up and holy water was poured into the hole. and they sang over the body. even though it was long afterward." Some Of us might hke iO believe that this early Christiah custom may have giy- en rise to burial al cross roads-ths pious instinct of placing parishs uu' der the shadow of the cross.
