Pastor Will Quit His People and
Become Progressive Undertaken
Our Funeral Methods Are All
Wrong, Says Rev. DR..
Leavitt.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 6.-Dr.
Bradford Leavitt, Unitarian minister
of this city, believes that death can
be softened by less staginess of
funerals; that flowers rather than
crepe, that white rather than black,
can give to the funeral something
other than gloom and can impress
peacefulness upon those who have
been separated from the ones they
have loved in life. Thus believing,
and desiring to put his ideas into
practise, DIR. Leavitt will quit the
ministry to become an undertaken.
THE minister should be a part of
an undertaking establishment" says
DR.. Leavitt. How many of us have
realized that the timeworn form of
funerals is a painful one? Why are
persons subjected more than neces-
sary sorrow and brought into gloomy
anticipation of burial by subdued
lights and solemn faces? Let there
be light In light and truth we
should find surcease of sorrow, and
the world would be better for it.

S14 IN A PIE STARTS WAR
BETWEEN 3 CLAIMANTS

JERSEY CITY, n. j., Feb. g.
Pauline Jordan went out and bought
a pie for her friend, Miss Margaret
Kopus's, luncheon yesterday. Ethel
Carhart, who works next to Miss
Kopus in a cap factory at Boil Pail
SADIE avenue, peeked in the bag and
discovered s14 in bills underneath
the pie.
She claimed the money by right of
discovery, Miss Kopus by right Of
having paid for the pie, and Miss
Jordan by right of having fetched pie
and money in. Captain Cummings,
of the Central avenue police station,
suggested that the baker ought to
have 1t. The baker said it wasn't
his and he wouldn't take 1t.
Miss Carhart settled the contro-
versy by appearing in new outfit
after lunch. The other girls threat
ened to sue her, but meantime Miss
Carhart has the clothes.

y Remarkable Newspaper.

In British Columbia there is lit
tie newspaper, the Kamloops Wawa.
circulating among several tribes OF
North American Indians. The unique
feature of this journal >is that it is
printed in shorthand. It's story is Il
remarkable one. Some years ago the
Rev. j. NJ. lie Jeune, a Breton mis-
sionary. arrived in British Columbia
to take charge of Il territory some
fifty miles square. He found the
great obstacle to his work ID be the
absence Of any means Of written COM
munication, as the natives had no
written language of their own. His
and write by ordinary methods failed
entirely. The missionary was ac
quainted with the simple French Dup
logan shorthand, and then conceived
the novel idea of teaching the Indians
to write their own language phone
tically by means Of the shorthand
characters. He adopted the stenO-
graphic signs to the Chinook language,
and the experiment proved COM
plete success. There are today
three thousand Indians able to write
and read their own language by no
other means than shorthand. "WaWa
means talk" in the Chinook, hence
the title of the little newspaper which
has been the natural outcome Of the
miSsionary'S undertaking.
