"Oh, the doctor would pull her
through all right, I guess"
And what would you do to train
Alberta?"

Mary finally agreed that Alberta

the little one. This done, the court
appointed Attorney Charles H. Buell.

Washington, October 18.-Pleasures of private life, after a long public career, were described here today by former President Taft in two addresses.

Curious Death Ceremony
l the .Washington Stnr.

from the Washington Star.
 A strange burial ceremony has obtained among the Hapsburgs, the oldest of the royal families of Europe, for several hun dred yearssf Whenever the Emperor dies his body is carried by the nearest way from the imperial palace to the monastery of tife capucliin monks on the outskirts of Vienna. Only few officials form the inconspicuous escort.
 Arriving at the door of the crypt of the monastery. which is found locked. the master of ceremonies knocks upon 1t with his gold staff and demands ad- mittance.
 'NNho is there?" come sthe voice of a monk from behind the bolted door,
 His royal majesty the Emperor of Aus tria, King of Hungary, Duke of Syria" reciting the long list of titles borne by the dead monarch,
 We know no such man. curtly re- plies the voice within.
 Again the master Of ceremonies knocks and demands admissions; again the voice of the guardian monk demands, .who Is there?' Again the master of cere- monies recites the list of honors and ti- ties borne by the dead man-and again the voice from within replies, We know no such man.
 A third time the master of ceremonies knocks and a third time the monk with in asks, Who is there?'
 Our brother, Joseph Hapsburg Cor whatever was the simple name of the dead king).
 At this humble confession of the equal ity of the dead man with all human flesh the bolts fly back swiftly, standing well coming in the doorway, and the body is taken within. Later the body is returned to the palace and a funeral with al lthe s,F {r ,1,,D fa1 &1 princely mansion. But the first strange ceremony is never omitted.
