The New Century Club met in
st. Thomas Parish House on Mon
day afternoon, this building having
been kindly loaned as a suitable
place in which to hold the child
ren's Christmas party. The room
was attractively trimmed with

little Christmas tree occupied the
center Of the stage and around it
the fairies danced and sang, while
above their heads hung the long
line of Christmas stockings.
The entertainment, which was
furnished chiefly by the little peo-
pie themselves, gave evidence of
their own budding talents, and was
a credit to those who so carefully
II aimed them. Miss Elizabeth Nc
Neal, who presided at the piano,
shows especial musical ability for
one of her age.

charge of Mrs. E. L. Richards,

THE AND HIS
BUSINESS
By T. +. Lenhart, Undertaken
Mansfield, Missouri

Among those who have given
the matter any thought it goes
without saying that he who puts
away the dead should be well
paid for his service, And if his
duties are extended. as of late
years they generally are, to the
embalming of the body, the rea
son is many times multiplied for
his liberal and complete remune-
ration
Diseases are numerous and
varied in form of attack and eff.
feet. but all eventuate the same
end, death. Some are infectious,
others contagious, and others
neither infectious nor contagious
but, whatever its nature or char.
acter, when death results the
body is dangerous to the living,
and the greatest of care must be
used in its handling TO avoid the
fatal result of blood poison. The
embalmer takes far greater risk
than many, even of the profess
sion, believe. Having the corpse
to prepare for the operation, for
such it is, the washing and dry
ing of the body prepares the OPP
orator, perfects his condition. so
to speak, for the reception of di
sease and poison
Again, the familiarity of the
undertaken, especially of the en-
balmer, with dead bodies begets
carelessness in the mostprudent
of men, and they are exposed to
dangers of their own making far
beyond what they should be, but
which is inevitable. And the dan
ger is not confined to them alone
but is carried to their families
their wives and children, and the
death of some loved one from
such cause is far too frequent
Undertaking as a business is
not preferred by many. 1t is a
matter of frequent remark
among people that the undertak.
er is generally the sole beneficial
airy of the estate of the deceased,
but not one in one hundred of
thuse people so fippant of speech
would for twice or thrice the sum
charged by the undertaken do
what he did and would excuse
themselves by saying they were
not engaged in that business.
True, they are not, but why not!
There is a strong reason or rea-
sons for their being engaged in
another business, perhaps not
half so profitable, III their judg-
ment, as undertaking, and what
are the reasons? The dread and
fear of death. There is some
thing in man that causes him to
fear his friends dead body.
When the heart ceases and the
soul of our friend leaves his dead
body, broadly speaking, oul
friendship ceases and we dread,
dislike to touch his body. We
would, away and at a distance,
pay our respects to his remains
There are possible exceptions tt
this rule, but they are not many
and those few are not undertake
ers and never could become sucf
The corpse is not the man WHIT
breathed and lived and mingled
with his fellows. but the under
taker who could or would handi,
R it otherwise than gently, feeling
as though the life that lad flow
