BURlALs AT CROSS ROADS
Events That Led TO the lnterment es
che Suicide With the Executed
Criminal.

In pref Christian days. suicides were
terribly frequent, and it was general
ly agreed that man might escape
the burden Of life In this manner.
without discrediting his memory.
Christianity with its higher code Of
morals, taught the wickedness and
cowardice Of self-murder, in the
strongest terms. When consecrated
churchyards were set apart as the
resting place Of the Christian dead, 1t
was felt that those who died in dead
ly sin, In fragrant rebellion against
their Maker, had cut themselves off
from the faith, and had no right to
await the resurrection with faithful
Christians. They were believed to
have put themselves outside Of So
ciety, and to have forfeited their right
to share it's burial privileges. In those
early days, before churches could be
built, 1t was the rule to preach and
conduct divine services at the cross
roads. Wooden and afterwards stone
] crosses were erected to mark the stu
alton where services would be held.
Some Of these have-been preserved to
this day, being memorials erected to
the dead, or dedications Of thanksgiv-
ing. Since suicides might not be bur-
led In the churchyard or other conse-
Grated ground, pity suggested that the
next most holy spot was the ground
near the old cross, where service had
once been held. or was then held. They
Sburied the poor suicides there, be-
Icause they were unwilling to relin-
auish hope for them. Afterward, for
he sake Of greater publicity, the glib
bet and the gallows were set up at
he crossroads, and criminals were
uried beneath them after their exc
ution. The law decreed that suicides
pould lie with these criminals, in or
er to mark the detestation in which
be crime Of self-murder was held.
nd so what was once a signal Of
Pristtan hope and charity. became a
al ihdignity imposed upon the dead
dies I'd mark an immensely serious
zach Of the law Of the country.

the current week in conjunction
with the Fire Prevention campaign
to be conducted over the entire

The town destroyed is Sissons

started four miles southeast OF
Sissons on Cutover lands covered
with chaparral. The Forest Service
began fighting the fire with thirty
men. but between SOC and coo were
pressed into service before the
flames were finally conquered on
August 4.
II is estimated that it cost 2.5OO
acres of land and that $25O.OCO
worth of property was threatened.
II cost S35. 900 to put the fire out.
The fire was filmed by Capt w. 5.

What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
LII

Lily may truthfully be said TO be
a flower name. Although effort has
been made to concoct for it an in
tricate chronological history. it is
best accounted for by the pure
white flower with golden tongue
which gives its fragrance to the
Easter season and blooms in its
happiest glory in June.
Curiously. Lily has always been
vaguely Identified with Cecilia.
Since the former was found diff
cult to trace, the Italian name
Liliola was thought to be one of its
rrogenitOrs. 1t was borne by Ii
tiola Gonzsga in 1S4O, but was soon
softened in Italy to Ziliola or Ce-
celia.
Lily is purely English and Amer
lean. The Scotch have the form
Liliss, made popular through Lilias
Ruthven in 1857. A Scottish ballad
is also sponsor for Lillian, but in
recent years the heroine of "Roswal
and Lillian" who was Queen of Ma
pies, is generally referred to as Lily
and the sig gaificance of the flower is
the accepted motive for it's use
The diamond is Lily's tslismanic
stone. 1t will protect her from
darger and disease and promises her
victory over her enemies and the
fultillment OF her ambitions. Sat
urday is her lucky day and : her
lucky number. The lily is, of course
her flower.

A MoMENT OF PANIC.

When the play was over the GLIB
sons party and Ovens Joined forces
for supper. They motored out to one
of the smsrtest supper restaurants
on the lake shore, wnere the food
and the dancing and the music were
par excellence. Bradley, who was
frequent patron of the place saw 70
&, that they had a table close to the
dancing floor and removed from the
big jazz orchestra. He took upon
himself the obligations of host with
that quiet insistence which was one
of his greatest charms:
He saw to it that Alison was
seated facing the floor with a pro-
tectiuE palm behind her to shield
her from the passing throng, and he
quietly took his place beside her.
Larry was seated next to MISS
Evans, who was cloaked again IN
lansuor, though her dark eyes had
abandoned Larry to rest hypnoti-
caIly upon Warren Bradley. He,
however. was apparently unaware
OF her gaze.
viii you dance, Mrs. Osborne
he suggested.
She rose with gay nod and
stepped out upon the floor. surren-
dering herself TO his quietly eager
arms with a smile into his dark
face. Both were obliVious to Os-
borne's quick frown and the curious
smile that touched Kate Gibson's
expressive eyes.
This has been the happiest eve

weeks" said Bradley.
Alison Iaughted softly.
You will say that to Miss Evans
during the next dance.
He raised his brows.
why to Miss Evans, pray? And
why the next dance"
oh. the baby vamp will get you"
laughed Alison. Don't you notice
that she has her eyes on you al
ready"
He shrugged.
"Old stuff" he said lightly.
Never too old that men will fall
for it," returned Alison sagely.
MARK my words"
she came too late"
As Alison wisely refrained from a
reply, he added:
Il thought I had had every sensa
tion in this world. except death.
When I met you, I found that I had
not"
I'm sorry for YOU" said Alison
simply. ignoring the last sentence
I'm sorry for anyone who has
squeezed their orange Of life so dry
that there is nothing left them but
death"
He smiled cynically.
You are very young. Some day
