JUST MERELY
OLD MAN JONES
Ordinary Citizen. But He Drew
Something of Eulogy From
California Newspaper
Writer.

Maybe you didn't know Old Man
Jones. lie was 4 printer, and he died
last week. and there was a piece about
him In the paper. The piece was four
Hines long and II was on the thirty
sixth page of the paper in The lower
right-hand corner under an advertise
ment about soap or something.
Maybe you didn't see the piece In
the paper. No? Well, II is no wonder.
There Is SO much in the papers. and
Md Jones didn't amount to anything,
snyway. At least, he was of no Inn
portance. You could not expect the
paper to give him any more room when
he died That same day there was a
big scandal in high society. there was
revolution in Germany. seven people
were caught drinking liquor. movie
"vamp" said her diamonds were stoler,
end a lot Of other very important
things happened old Jones was lucky
to get even those four lines in the last
hidden corner Of the last page.
And, besides all that. we are very
sure that old Jones didn't and wouldn't
give whoop If the paper never even
mentioned that he was dead. He had
left the country and was in another
country far more TO his liking. He
was with Socrates and Homer and the
old gods and fighting men that he
knew and loved In greasy books that
he found In cheap secondhand stores
and garbage cans where they had been
discarded.
Many sunny hour have we spent
with old Jones. learning from him
things we never knew before. For 30
years he had read hooks that opened
up Paradise to him. His life was
spent happily. Death meant to him
merely another journey which, at the
last, he was eager to take He was
very wise and always very kind. and
usually poor.
Now. he Is with 10000 yesterdays
and as quickly forgotten as though he
had been king or a millionaire.
Good-hy, Old Jones. Give our kind
est regards to Socrates and all the
other fellows out yonder in the Shad-
ow I.and.--Los Angeles Times.
