POSTPONE FUNERAL
 OF COLORED LINER

Because he belonged to so many lodges and all of them, in addition to Whitechapel Baptist church, of which he was also a member, want to par ticipate in the obsequies, the funeral of Alexander Jones, colored, who died of consumption Saturday, has been postponed indefinitely and probably will not be held before next Sunday, the Log Cabin Democrat was inform ed today. Jones was a respected ne- gro who had many friends, both white and black. He was also famous as a "jiner,' and belonged to every negro fraternal organization operating in Conway. The deep snow made it im- possible for all the orders to parti- eipate as fully as they desired at the funeral, and it was decided to post pone it until the snow has disappeared. Jones left his widow about $2,500 life insurance in the various orders, it is stated

this cost. He didn't know. No one does.
 There is one investigation yet to be ordered-namely, the high cost of Investigating.
 But another investigation, conduct ed by the United Press, reveals that during the sixty-sixth congress alone (the present one) resolutions have been introduced asking for PIP inves- tigations. Only 60 of these resolu- tions, it is true, were passed, but the larger figure indicates that the con- gressional penchant for Investigating still thrives.
 Every conceivable subject is covered in the probes which congress desires.

In design and construction the Bow

A. DAY FOR WISE MEM

l are far too dear to the world for
any such suggestion to carry. But
1t is worth considering
By the way, one of the most noted
of literary jokes was perpetuated by
learned man who was born on April
/, 1893. His name was Robert Sur
tees, and he was an antiquarian of
note, When his supply of genuine
antiquities gave out, he fabricated
old ballads and palmed them off on
Sir Walter Scott, each of them with
a clever story of how he came BY
them; and Scott died without ever
learning that the ballads which he
published "by the courtesy Of Mr..
Surtee5" were made to order by that
obliging gentleman.
Some really wise men were born
on April ! as for example, William
Harvey, discoyercr of the circula
ton Of the blood, who was born in
1878. If on April 1, you have occa
sion to call taxi, you might be in
terested in remembering that the
business of the hackney coach, of
which the taxi is the successor was
established in London with -four
coaches, and we first heard of it on
April /, 1859, when it had been OPP
Grating for five years. There was
GREAT protest against it, because it
harmed the business Of the Thames

Of coaches as thieves for stealing
