The growth of public opinion
especially the intellectual side Of
it, in favor of cremation as the
wisest and most sanitary means
of disposing Of the dead has been
most striking in recent years. and
nowhere more so than among the
clergy Of the Church of England
and ministers Of other denomina-
tions themselves. Even at West
minister Abbey it is now the rule
due to lack Of space-that only
the ashes Of the distinguished
dead shall be placed there.
Since the Cremation Society of
England was FIRST formed in 1855.
the remains Of many distinguished
people have been cremated. To
take the names of a few clergy
men and ministers we find the fol-

All this leads up to the silver

ally an interesting man, and that

sheep trotting after shepherd

how to sell his goods.
These men always talk about
Prosperity, because they know that
every human being is interested in

he wants more Hence, the shep-
herd and the sheep.
Lots Of men, thousands OF them,
will tell you exactly how the affairs
of this nation should be run to
bring prosperity to all. And yet
these men are themselves not al
ways prosperous The rules that
slip off their silver tongues seem
not to work in their own cases.
Do you imagine that the trainers
of the constitution who added their
names after that Of George Wash
ington winked at one another when
they introduced such expressions as
Justice, domestic tranquility" and
blessings of liberty" into that doe
umept?
They did not.
They had in mind the sublime
fact that a citizen has powers for
ambition, industry and prosperity
conferred upon him by the Creator;
while rights and privileges for their
development were conferred upon
him by the constitution of the
United States. All these work to-
gether for the glory of the man If
he has any pride in them.

A Republic Is
Made Up of Units.

A republic is made up of units
When every one is interested in
prosperity in his own behalf, pro-
tecting himself against the spell
binder that wants him to invest his
intelligence in fraudulent princi-
pie, the whole matter of national
prosperity takes care of itself
They do not make prosperity in
Washington, d, c., nor at the ma
tional conventions of the two great
parties They may promise it, But
so far as you get it, you make it
for yourself.
Your family is a republic, and
you are president Of it, Keep that
picture in mind. Your term of Of
flee is lifelong. Serve it with all
the efficiency you possess and you
will have done more, in the end, to
make prosperity a real thing than if
you had followed the political
shepherds all your life, bleating at
their heels like a helpless lamb for
a little odd change to send home to

Giving Little Time to Thoughts Of Life to Come

The records also contain the
names of many titled persons and
officers of the army and navy"
The ceremony of cremation robs
the last rites given to the dead
of more than half their horrors
The imaginative mind, however
religious, is tortured by thoughts
of the body of a dear one slowly
rotting beneath the mound of
earth, and such thoughts must,
and do, distract the mind from
ideals Of the spiritual home of the
departed soul
When there is nothing remain
ing Of the corporeal frame but
little heap of ashes. the thoughts
must soar to planes beyond the
earth to find resting place with
the beloved one.
Cremation leaves the earth for
the uses of the living, and does
away with the expensive and use
less monuments which cumber
valuable ground and do no good
to living or dead
Those who desire to erect some
monument to the memory of their
dear dead can find useful ana
humane ana ornamental ways OF
doing so.

There Are Two Ways
Open to Every Man,

rms man wants prosperity, for
every man does He wants it NOT
for himself alone, but for his fam.
lily.
How is he to get it?
There are two ways. The Arst
is lovely, rosy and inactive. The
second is sure to work every time
though it does not look as ROSY as
the first
The first way is to work when
you feel like it, let things ait home
run along any way they may, save
nothing; do little to make a proud
and happy family-meanwh wait
until we have a decent government
and every MAN gets a square deal
The second, way is to work to
the limit of endurance all the time.
to stick to the job until a better
one can be had; to take pride in the
home; to make wife and children
feel that the affairs of their little
home-republic are absolutely safe
in your hands.
With this, a little frugality and
good management, which means
something set aside for the rainy
day; and what is the result?
You may answer:
A man who has found nrosner-
ity.
This is only half right. The real
answer is this:
A nation that has found and
possesses a citizen who contributes
prosperity to it as whole.

mids.
The Mamelukes were eXtin-
guished, but those stubborn Brit
ishers that met him at Acre were
a different proposition, and the
Egyptian expedition, whatever
may have been its original designs
was knocked sky high, and the
man who originated it must sneak
back to France as best he can
trusting to Providence to provide
some way of escape for the army
he leaves behind.
And what We're the original de-
signs of Napoleon In the expedi-
tion of Egypt? Perhaps the answer
is to be found in his words to hs
secretary, Bouyienne: "Bour-
vienne, I do not wish to remain
here in France There is nothing
to do. Everything wears out here
My glory has already disappeared
This little Europe does not supply
enough of It, l must seek It in the
east, the fountain of glory" He
called Europe a mole hill" and de-
clared that there had never been
any great empires except in the
east, where there are 600,000ooo
people"
Likely enough, then, the wonder
full man intended making his Egyp-
tian expedition the first step i'm
the establishment of an empire that
should include the entire Orient BUT
not yet is the thought completed
for Guigot was probably correct
when he wrote Of the Man Of Des-
tiny that in his secret thoughts
he nursed the hope of pushing 'of-
ward to Constantinople, sei1ins
that city and making himself mas
ter Of Europe by attacking Y tfoI,
the east 1t was 10 the conqueet ~
the world that he marched IN ad-
vancing upon Jaffa."

Battle of the Pyramids
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TIME battle of the Pyramids was
fought ia years ago and
ended in victory for the
French. 1t made Napoleon the mas
ter Of Murad's palace in Cairo and
placed in his hands the sovereignty
of Egypt
Pointing to the venerable and
imposing piles in which reposed
the ashes of the once mighty
Pharaohs, Napoleon cried out to
his men: Soldiers, from the sum
mits of yonder monuments 40 CEN
turtles look down upon you" and.
inspired by this eloquent intima-
ton of the glory" that awaited
them, the French lines sprang for
ward and the Mamelukes were
scattered In the shadow of the =
Pyramids they had met their fate,
and greater than they made a
fresh advance in the stadium of his
destiny
While meditating upon his vic
tory midst the golden Minarets Of
Cairo there came to Napoleon some
bad news. Nelson had destroyed
the French fleet and he was bot
tied up in the land he had just
won.
The army of Egypt, without any
means Of returning to Europe. and.
worse yet, cut off from the source
of its supplies was in bad fix.
But Napoleon the man of infinite
resources. was there. and the sol
diers We're soon put in motion.
Anything but the rust of inaction:
and SO, in expedition after expe
dition the men were kept busy.
And then the march for Jaffa. and
Acre, and Aboukir. with it's min
gled victory ana defeat, the defeat
vastly in excess of the victory. and

COUNTRY
WILSON ANSWERS PRESIDENTS
CHARGE THAT PANIC WAS DUE
TO TARIFF BILL.

Newark, N. j., Oct. 3O.-Gov. Wilson
in three speeches, filled with sarcas
tic attacks on his opponents, empha
sized in New Jersey last night that
he was not a believer in free trade
and that the Democratic party did
not intend to disturb legitimate bust
ness or the prosperity of the coun.
try if it were put into power.
The Democratic nominee declared
those of his opponents who constant
ly asked him to define his position
on the tariff Cannot read the En-.
glish language"
He said he had repeated, time and
again, in his speeches his policy of
cutting out of the tariff merely the
special privileges lodged in it. "No
thoughtful man." he added, "has adj
vocated free trade"
To President Taft's statement pub
lished yesterday with regard to the
panic of the early nineties, Gov. Will
son made an extended reply, first at
Mountclair, where he addressed a big
audience, and again at Newark. where
he spoke last night. He said it was
wrong to attribute that panic to the
tariff legislation, because the tariff
started before the tariff bill was en-
acted" He attributed the panic to
Republican legislation.

old occupation" said the Governor az
used to be a teacher of history, and

more. find myself abashed in fac
ing the necessity of teaching it to

and when the President of the
United States makes himself respon-
sible for the statement that the panic
OF 1898 was due to tariff bill that
came year afterward, and came be-
cause of Mr.. Cleveland's administra
ton, I can only express my deep re-
greet that the President of the United
States has not read the history of
the United States"

steadfastly disregarded the attitude
of the attorney general, removing the
formal opinion from the department of
Justice in each instance, and giving
his approval to all charters that he
