But one other objection to cremation
remains-that of the facility which it
is assumed to AFFORD criminals for the
concealment of the means employed
for murder. While the theoretical ex-
istence of such a danger must be ad-
mitted, practically, under proper pre-
cautions, it is probably almost infini-
tesimal, or, at least, negligible. In
every suspicious case (however
slightly so) the coroner or the equiva-
lent legal officer can require an au-
topsy, with the removal of parts or the
whole of organs and their preservation
for examination in the event of alleged
poisoning. If these measures seem in
adequate, additional safeguards could
be established. For example, it might
be provided that, as in England, no one
might be cTemated until two indie
pendent death certificates have been
made by medical men. In the event of
doubt, necropsy should be provided for
and viscera would, if necessary, be
preserved. Post-mortem examination
should be prescribed as routine pro
cedure in certain instances, as in the
cases of persons dying in public insti
tutions and those dying under the Gus
tody of others than their natural
guardians.
While there are no conclusive OBJ
jections to cremation, there are posi-
I tive reasons against burial. Crema
,ton affords a clean and rapid distinc.
grafton, while burial is a slow process
most repugnant to any imagination
that would dwell on it, and inspiring
much occasionless fear of death
Burial is also dangerous to the living
emphatically so when the death has
been by reason of a contagion, and
especially in graveyards adjacent t.
human habitations. For sparcely set
tied regions this consideration is no
so powerful; but under modern living
conditions-when so large a proportion
of humanity lives in cities, when 81
many rural districts become suburban
which, in their turn, almost as rapid!
become urban-the cleaner, NOR,
wholesome and more esthetic metho'
of cremation should obtain. The pos
sibility of contagion becomes thu
more and more necessary to consider
as districts become congested to a dc
gree surely unprecedented in humal
history Many varieties of pathogeni
bacteria, transferred by the dead t.
their graves, multiply inconceivably il

to the living whose dwelling are near

Our spreading civilization ruthlessly
claims for it's economic purposes
patches of land hitherto sacred to the
dead. No sentiment here! Is it in con-
sonance with the religious sense to see

conform with the reverent mood to
see workmen, while excavating for the

dig up churchyard slime and toss away
the bones of long-forgotten dead?
Ihus, there is not only hygienic but
also an economic objection to burial.
1t would be useless to inquire here as
to the propriety of the latter; we may
but record that it exists and is insur-
mountable. The acreage in and about

THE AGE OF ADVERTISING.

This is an age of advertising. We
cannot do business successfully with

papers stopped publication for three
days, business il the city stores was
practically at a standstill. l remember

New York. boosted that they did not

Tiffany, Brokaw Brothers and other
.well-known houses did not advertise,
but they do today, and so does every
large concern. In those days The mer-
chant sold his goods over the counter
and the manufacturer sent out his
s9lesmen, but today people buy the
goods which you want and which they

How Providence Saved "The Kicker"
Man.

We have often had reason to believe
that we had a guardian angel lowering
DER us, and that no matter how quick
we were on the draw and how straight
we shot, the angel was on the job with
us. AS to whether that guardian is our
sainted mother, or some young lady
that we loved and lost, we can't say,
but another instance has taken place
to show that she hasn't got tired of
lowering.

When the Major could raise no more
and knew that he had got to walk
home and live on roots by the way, the
hands were laid on the table, face up
wards. The Major took one look,
grabbed for a gun, and pulled trigger
with the muzzle within an inch of our
eye. The cartridge failed TO explode,

defective AS he saw his failure the

OF course money can be lost and
won at poker, but that doesn't make it
gamblers game. No one here in the
West sits down to win another mans
money 1t is simply for amusement.
If YOU amuse him by winning or los
ing you have shown your good will,
and he has shown his in return.
Major Calhoun came to Giveadam
Gulch three years ago, and while pre-
tending to be a guileless lamb, did ev-
erlastingly whop our citizens at the
game of poker. After a year no one
would play with him. He was not ac,
cused of any trickery but his blum
was marvellous. He was taught it in
Mississippi, and it was the genuine
thing. Times without number he has
bluffed a full house with a pair OF
ten-spots.
It so happened, as such things will
that we never got into a game with the
Major. Perhaps he has guardian an
gel lowering over him as well. Both OF
us were always looking for the game
that never came off, and after a yeai
or so the Major took his departure foi

In describing the incident above re-
ferred to we must bring in game Of
poker. We will try to be as tender as
we can about it, and trust that we
shall lose no subscribers. 1t must be
understood by Eastern people that po-
ker in the West is on the same pedes-
tai as golf, baseball, croquet, cricket,
etc. 1t isn't quite as athletic as some
of the games mentioned, but as an off
set it may be said that there is far less
profanity in it. We have men in Arr
iona who have played poker for thirty
six hours on a stretch and never used
an oath.

Shortly after II o'clock our guardian
angel assisted us to fill a royal flush.
The Majors g. a. was a little slow,
and he only got a straight flush out of
it. 1t was enough for him, however.
He felt that his time had come, and
he began raising us $4,000 at a time.
OF course, we saw him, and went a lit
tie better. When he had put up all
his cash we allowed him $4,000 on his
gambling den in Virginia City; then
$4,000 on some land; then $4,000 on
his note of hand; then $1,000 on his
horse, guns, diamond pin, etc. When
it was known throughout the room

Last Monday morning, after long
and tedious ride, Major Calhoun en-
tered "The Kicker" office. He had
come for a game of poker. He had
come in to amuse us for the time, and
then return to mis- mountain home. He
had brought $4,000 in cash with him
to do the trick. 1t was our busy day,
but Western etiquet must be observed.
The man that rides 300 miles to play
a game of poker with another has
moral rights that cannot be denied.
To turn him down would be against
every law of hospitality we have in
this glorious portion of the United
States.

The game began and was played to

of our most eminent citizens present
as spectators The dealing was done
by the Hon Joseph Colchester, ex-

While the work contains neither love

adopted by the public schools as a

there are passages in it to make your

WIRELESS TELECRAPHY
At SKOWHEGAN
Conrad Beardsley, Charles Sheafi and
Guy Thibeault Have Built Station
and Received Messages from Cape
Cod Tuesday.

Skowhegan has a wireless tele-
graph station and for the first time
ever known messages were received
Tuesday night from the government
station at Cape Cod 1t recorded
readily the weather report and about
the sugar trust that WAS reported in
the New York papers Tuesday. This
station was instituted here under
the supervision of Conrad Beardsley
assisted by Charles Sheaff and Guy
Thibeault. 1t is situated in the office
of the Maine Central railroad COM
pany. The wires forming a metallic
system extend to the steeple of the
depot with the aerial about G5 feet
above the ground. The instrument
was fitted up for receiving messages
by Mr. Beardsley. He is the tele-
graph operator here and is but a
young man who is exhibiting con-
siderable genius in other branches of
his work. He came here from Port
land and while there he had a wire
less station that he fitted himself
and used to receive messages from
the ships out of the harbor. This is
the only amateur station of the kind
In the county. He will endeavor TO
receive messages the next few nights
from Eastport, the nearest govern
ment station and from Cape Eliza
beth. His messages received Monday
night came a distance of about 300
miles. Mr. Beardsley is the son of
F. G.. Beardsley of Waterbury, Conn,
and is a graduate of Portland High
school in the class of 1910.
