Funerals cost the people of the
United States each year enough
money to pay the commercial failures
and give to each bankrupt a capital
of $4,000. The annual product of
gold and silver is not equal to the
amount expended in the burial of the
dead twenty-five per cent more
money is paid to undertakers in the
United States than the people spend
for public schools. These figures do
not include monuments or cemetery
expense-this vast sum of money is
mostly paid by the poor, or thoseamost
unable TO bear the burden.
Often death comes after a pro-
tracted illness with its many unavoid-
able expenses, and when economy
should commence, extravaganza be-
gins-the result is that helpless wives
and children are deprived of the ne
cessities of life because of these
follies.
Unfortunately those 0Oho encour-
age and Profit BY this unnatural Gus
tom are not the ones who suffer
from 1t.
A funeral is essentially a family
matter and because of this simplicity
and privacy should prevail. Sincere
grief is retiring and not comforted by
extravaganza and show. Flattery can
not soothe the ear of Death and a
funeral conducted with all the vanity
one can devise adds nothing to the
memory of the dead. One kindly act
in life outlasts them all.
Death is solemn and impressive,
but its impressiveness is not added to
by extravaganCe-the most sincere
tribute to those whose eyes are closed
and voices silent, is love and fidelity
to their memory.
ARTHUR A. WRIGHT, Manager.
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1913-07-15

A Restless Skull,

a strange ghost story concerning
Burton Agnes Hall. a grand old place
near Bridlington, is recalled BY the
engagement of Lieutenant Griffith
Boynton. r. N, only son of Sir Crit
fifth and Lady Boynton, of Barmston.
Yorkshire, and Miss Naomi Nightn-
gale, only child of Mr.. and Mrs H. f.
Nightingale, of Cromwell road, Ken
sington. Burton Agnes is the ances-
trail seat Of the BoynteHs. but on the
death of the late baronet, Sir Henry,
in 1899 the property passed to his only
daughter. now Mrs. Wickham- Boyn-
ton. Years ago the estate was in
herited by three sisters who. being
very wealthy, decided to rebuild their
old home.
lingo Jones was, it is said. the ar
chitect, and Rubens is reported to
have assisted with the decorations.
An absorbing interest was taken in
the building by the youngest sister,
Anne Griffith, but one day she was
brutally assaulted by tramp and
subsequently, died. She made her sis
fer promise that her head should be
removed at her death and kept IN
the house, They forgot to do as she
had wished, with the result that the
most appalling noises were heard in
the house. In their perpleXity the
two sisters consulted the vicar, tell
ing him of their sisters dying request.
He agreed that it ought to be carried
out. so the body was unearthed and
the head removed to the house. The
noises at once ceased
Various generations from time to
time tried to get rid of the head, but
always the hideous noises recon-
menced. and continued until the grue-
some relic was brought back. At last
Sir Henry Boynton Mrs. Wiekham-
Boynton's father had the head &C.
mented up in the wall of the great
hall, behind a beautifully carved
screen which came from Barmston,
the home of Sir Mathew Boynton, first
baronet, who married Frances Griffith,
sister of the murdered Anne and since
the skull has been inferred the
bauntjngs and manifestations have. it
,s said. entirely ceased. On the stair
case at Burton Agnes is the painting
of the sisters, and very quaint they
look in ruffs and farthingales.-Lon-
don Tit Bits.
