WHEN MORRIS WAS BURIED.

Simple Village Funeral Of the Great
Artist and Poet.
In his death William Morris, who
practicel the ideal industry that Rus
kin preached. was as simple and az
near common things and common peO-
pie as he had always sought to be in
life. He was taken from London to
the ancient village Of Lechlade-so be-
gins the lovely description In the late
Henry Demarest Lloyd's 'Mazzini and
Other Essays'-to be buried near
Kelmscott Manor House, where his
own country home bad been.
10 accordance with his wishes, the
windows OF his town house were not
aarkened. and no emblem Of conven-
tionaI mourning was shown. There
was no hearse to receive bis coffin az
it was taken out Of the train which
bore it to I.echlade.
Only down the hill came harvest
wagon Round and through its yellow
framework were twisted vines and
branches of willow, roofing It and
hanging down over the red wheels. A
bed OF moss fresh from the woods was
spread on the bottom. On this the
great artist was laid.
Wreaths OF flowers were hung round
the sides of the rack Vine leaves were
twisted in the bride of the roam mare.
The carter took her BY the head. and
the rest Of the party walked behind to
the graveyard.
The church is little stone building
of the twelfth century which Morris
had helped to preserve. II happened
10 be decorated as for festival. The
fruits of the year were spread round
There were pumpkins and marrows
and great red and yellow apples or
the seats in the porch. and red au
tumn leaves hung from the pillars.
The coffin was of plain. unpublished
oak The handles were of iron. fash
toned by the blacksmith. There was
no inscription but name and dates.
1t was simply village funeral. just
as he wished it to be.

Ths olh of the Lighthouse, a Sur Rsssinaly Beautiful Story of the-Sea.

Seldom has there been offered to the motion picture lovers of this city an equal of the surpassingly beautiful Feature picture today entitled The Girl of the Lighthouse. and it is greeted with erclamatio1s of admiration on all aides as it's gorgeous scenic beauties RT0 unfolded to view. There is an ex- ceptionaily strong plot that shows RlIsonx its many thrilling situations the overpowering of the little daughter of the lighthouse keeper by a rejected lover. who, furthering his dastardly efforts, rushes to the light tower and puts out the lights, assuring himself that his rival, caught at sea in 8 howl ing storm, will thereby become help less and be lost. He does not count on the dazant girl who in the darkness of the lower room ties her shawl across the stairs, tripping him and temporari- & disabling him, thus permitting her to return to the tower and rehght the lamps and save the life of her lover Throughout the picture the spectators are treated to some of the glories of the sea while it is in its rage, the rugged shores being lashed by break ing waves that tower over them, pro- dDcing an effect seldom equaled.
