A MEMORIAL WREATH

IN some secluded parts of New England the
old custom of preserving mortuary relies
is still kept up. In such regions mourning
pieces representing the familiar weeping
willow hanging its sinuous curves over
tombstone, on which with touching realism
the name and dates of the birth and death
of the departed are to be read, adorn the
excepting rooms" a still grimmer touch of
realism is the appearance of silver coffin
plates on the walls. These plates, all OF
which have been taken from the lids OF the
coffins lust before the burial, are similarly
inscribed, and ser1 q double purpose, that
of forming an open record of the deceased
members of the family and of showing that
due respect is paid to their memory.
But the most curious Of all these memen-
tos is the memorial wreath. What it IS may
be best understood by the following descrip-
ton Of one given by an eye witness:
The old lady had on her wall a wreath in
a frame Her husband had died four years
before She had been his third wife, and
this wreath and frame were made OF relics
of the dear departed and his former wives.
She took evident pride in showing 1t to visit
ors; and, Notwithstanding its really gro
tesque features, there was touch OF pathos
in the sincerity and simplicity with which
she explained their connection with her dead
husband.
The frame was made of putty, into which,
while it was wet, she had placed these arti-
cles: In the center of the top cross piece his
spectacle case; under it a small bottle halt
filled with pills that were left after his last
illness. Then came stones of all sizes and
shapes which "he had treasured; his jack
knife, piece of hoarhound candy which "he
did not eat; small arrangement for meas
uring medicine; buttons OF all kinds from
off his clothes; never 50 many watch keys;
a small bottle filled with cheese made by his
first wife; and smelling bottle used by the
wife before me-. The spaces between these
things were filled with cherry plum, and
peach pits and nuts of various kinds. Inclosed
in the center Of all this was "his picture
The wreath consisted of flowers and leaves
made from pieces of his clothes, waistcoat,
trousers, braces, hatband, shoes, etc. The
shirt in which he died was honored by hav-
ing made from it bird altogether too Won
drous for description. On the outskirts of
this wreath were placed buckles, gracefully
curved, and one small festoon was made OF
"the hair of the mother of the wife before
me-" Some of "his hair was shaped into
tendril, and the stamens of one of the flowers
were formed of "shavings from the inside of
his coffin
On one side, at the beginning of the wreath
and falling with a graceful droop, was
bunch of raisins that he had brought her the
winter before he died, saying, "Now, don't
cook any; but eat everyone Balancing
the raisins on the other side were three
wires, each supporting one of his teeth-and
behind was his toothpick!
The foregoing is literal description of
wreath still to be seen in Vermont village,
where it enjoys more than local fame.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS
Many cathartics Tend to Cause lnjur,

If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and

PEOPLE CAN ASSIST

A timely suggestion by G. r. Joy,
one Of the shining lights in the move
ment for cleaner Keokuk, has been
advanced and If local people will
heed this suggestion, their endeavors
will be amply rewarded In the salts
faction that will come with the spick
and span appearance of the city,
which is sure to follow. Mr.. Joy sug-.
gests that individual citizens get busy
at once and see to it that as much as
possible of the seasons accumulation
of dirt and rubbish, is removed before
the date set for the general scrub.

| tighten the task that the citizens
committee of representative, progress
sive men, in conjunction with loyal
ladies of Keokuk, have undertaken TO.
the city's welfare.
Mr.. joys suggestion was prompted
after he had interested himself in the
campaign carried on by other cities,
and is we'll worthy of consideration.
One city, he said, prepared for a gem
eral cleaning, and OH the date set
despite the fact that the dirt fairly
flew, the task was only started when
night put an END to the work. In
stead Of the one day set aside for the
task, Mr.. Joy said he had learned
that it took an even ten days 70 get
rid of the dirt and put ON the desired
polish.
Keokuk is not as large as the city
referred to, blu, possibly the undesir
ed dirt is just as plentiful in proper
ton here as in the city referred to
and he rightly figures that it viii
probably take more time than the one
Gay to give Keokuk thorough going
over. A any rate. Mr.. JOY deduces
that IL the people VIII get busy be
tween now and the time set for the
: cleaning UP of the city, the days
y work will be greatly lessened, to TIT
i benefit of all concerned. and further
) if the individual citizens will fall il
