To build a house, with love for

And Jn a tiny cabin, shaped for two,
Th» space for happiness Is just as

As hi a palaoa. What a world were
this
S each soul born received a plot of
ground,
A tittle plot, whereon a home might
rise.
And beauteous green things grow.
We give the dead.
The Idle, vagrant dead, the potter's
field;
Tet to the living not one inch of soil.
Nay, we take from them soil, and sun,
and air.
To fashion slums and hell-holes for
the race.
And to our poor we say, "do starve
and die
As beggars die; so gain your heri
tage.'* I
That was a most uncanny dream; I
thought the wraiths of those
Long buried in the potter's field in
shredded shrouds arose;
They Baid, "Against the will of God
We have usurped the fertile sod.
Now will we make it yield."
Oh! but it was a gruesome sight to
see those phantoms toil;
Each to his own small garden bent,
each spaded up the soil
(X never knew ghosts labored so),
Each scattered seed, and watched,
till lo!
The Graves were opulent.
Then all among the fragrant greens,
the silent spectral train
Walked, as if breathing In the

grain.

She desired the money to use In

It was her duty, she believed; It was

UNDESTANDING
By CONSTANCE CLARKE
HER path is rough and stony, not a way
Where climbing roses unmolested stray
Sho leads across the hills and through the night.
Bearing aloft her precious gif t of sight.
And she ia stooped and old, no fair young maid.
Holding your gaze with clear eyes unafraid,
And of the multitude that lag behind
Only a few may know that she is kind.
And you who wander with her never know,
So deep you quaff the cup of human woe, ,
That just beyond the hills that rise above
Are spread the plains of fragrant human love.
But when you come to know her stony way,
Hold fast her hand and trust li er whispered stay,
And then return to her and deem it gain;
Then shall you know that you have walked with pain.

aloud to all who saw her. The teeth,
of her children were needing? atten
tion. But she was, nevertheless, a
slave to tradition, and to an absurd
custom, and her four hardearned
dollars must be paid for a carriage,
to make the funeral procession im
posing.
One hoars people of the toiling
class oftimes describing with ex
cessive pride the casket and the
elaborate trimmings which have been
given to the dead.
And one sees and hears equally
ridiculous things in all classes done
and said regarding the last rites for
mortal clay.
Everywhere we see precious land
which ought to be used for the sus
tenance of tho living given up to un
sanitary grave yards.
One hundred years from now ceme
teries will not exist in their present
form. There will be gardens and
parka whereon the ashes of the dead
will be scattered, and there will be
memorial halls, where urns rest in
niches containing ashes of tho dead.
Bodies of dear ones will no longer
be placed in the earth to pollute it
and to suiter a slow rotting process,
prejudice In the minds of the en
lightened.
The advent of cremation is pre
historic; but we have authentic re
cords of this method disposal of the
dead co-existent with our earliest
history , and we may trace the cus
tom down through the Middle Ages
throughout Europe and Asia. The
customary procedure was the open
funeral pyre, where wood was piled
around the dead human body and
many hours passed ere the effect
sought was imperfectly accomplished.
Later inhumation was again Intro
duced, partly because of the deci
mation of the Bupply of the forests
and partly by a vague idea that there
was some relation between the dis
posal of the body and Its resurrection
at the Judgement Day not stopping
to reason that In a few years the last
vestige of that body must return to
its constituent elements.
The first crematory of modern times
was built in Milan, Italy, after the
year 1854, and was the result of an
effort made by Jacob Moleschott, an
Italian Senator of German descent.
And Catholic Italy has since made the
greatest progress in this line until very
recent date, when our own filr land
takes the lead in this reform as in
deed it does in most cases where hu
man liberty struggles for advance
ment.
Germany Vas second to stretch out
a hand to save her people from the
[corruption of tho grave, and crema
-1 tion was established at Gotha first, and
later in many places throughout the
Empire.
England has awakened to its ad
vantages and instead of resistance
from the English aristocracy, we find
her noblemen endowing crematoria in
many parts of the Empire, and the
system is received by the Church of
England with open arms.
Her priests are making such
changes in the burial ritual as shall
make It more fitting to the new and
better custom.
France is not behind in so desirable
a reform, and since its establishment
muddiness und all roughness or red
ness of skin.
Christine: For your sallow, pimply
skin, which indicates a lirer upset, you
should make up and use the old-time
kardene blood, kidney and liver tonic,
ihis is prepared by pouring one ounce
Kardene into one half pin alcohol (do
not use whisky) and then adding one
naif cupful sugar and hot water to
make a quart. Take a tablespoonful
before meals and your skin will soon
be clear and beautiful. The kardene
tonic is good for most bodily pains and
aches, because It eliminates from the
system the poisons causing them, and
its timely use frequently prevents seri
ous sickness.
Cella: You say "I am a slave to my
powder rag." Why not try this fine
liquid beautifler? It is lasting in ef
fect and economical, besides being fine
to whiten and tone the skin and rid it
of sallowness or blemishes. Get 4
ounces of spurmax, add two teaspoon
fuls glycerine and one half pint hot
water or witch hazel. This makes a
big quantity and is far better than the
ordinary face powders. It will be very
becoming and will seem like a part of
your skin.
Millicent: Don't be frightened into
buying eye glasses before you really
need them. It is better to strengthen
the eyes than to aid their weakness
J or some years I have used this simple
home-made tonic which has both beau
tified and strengthened mine: Dissolve
an ounce of crystos in one half pint of
water. Two drops daily, or several times
daily, will give relief to tired or aching
eyes and soon make them clear and
sparkling.
Betty Dean's Beauty Book, ss.—Ad
vertisement
there the municipality of Paris has
taken hold of the matter in earnest
I and the city's unclaimed dead, as well
as all remains from the public hos
pitals and medical schools, are cre
mated, while galleries with series of
columbarlums and receptacles for
urns are provided, and since this
auspicious beginning crematoria are
becoming . popular throughout the
country.
In Denmark and Sweden and Switz
erland the good work is being car
ried on. Crematories are springing
up, and further than this, in all these
countries strong societies are banding
themselves together to promote and
carry out the Idea of cremation and
tho good work is fast coming into pop
ular favor throughout the Old World.
In America the practice of crema
tion was prevalent among the North
American Indians before the advent of
the white man, and we have records
where true poetry and a very high re
gard for all that was sacred and pure
led these people to believe that this
j method came nearest to the pleasure
of the Great Spirit. But it was not
until the year 1876 that the scientific
genius of America turned toward the
crematorium, and then we find Dr.
P. Julius Le Moyne, of Washington,
Pa., constructing a crematottum pri
marily intended for the incineration
of his own body, but as he now savs,
"having started the reform, he feels
that his apparatus and labor were not
in vain and that they thus have ac
complished their mission and will
leave the work to more pretentious
followers." Now we find the idea ex
panded until crematories are working
their beneficient ends In all the lead
ing States of our land, as well as
Canada.
The bodies of thousands of our own
people are thus escaping corruption
and the sentiment is rapidly growing
among the societies with strong mem
bership and broadening Influence.
Thus the steps are being taken that
shall eventually give this great move
ment Its true place In the customs of
all people of the earth and prove a
mighty factor in the uplifting of man
kind.
Cremation offers a reverent and of-*
fenseless method of the disposition
of our dead. It is consistent with the
tenderest sentiments of human love,
with the requirements of science, the
teachings of religion and with the
highest culture and wisdom of the
times. .
The rapidly Increasing demand for
cremation over inhumation shows that
it appeals to the thoughtful as cheat
ing corruption of its prey, the grave
of Its terrors and substituting a meth
od founded on reason, kindly and
prompt, clean and sanitary.
Choose for yourself. Weigh the
evidence of thok cleansing fire, bright,
pure, rapid. The sanitary urn, safely
visited by friends in whose keeping
it is, or the grave, the cold, moulder
ing, worm-eaten skeleton-decaying
and contaminating earth, water and
air, until the process is finished and
the form Is burned up by the slow
and Impeded action of Nature; for
decomposition, decay and fire are all
one, and the only difference is the
speed with which the combustion
goes on.
Benton Stabbed to
Death, Official Report
Washington, D. C., March 19.—The
facts in the case of William S. Ben
ton, the British rancher killed at
Juarez, will be made known in an
official report to be given out shortly.
According to this report, Benton
went to Juarez to get Villa's permis
sion to bring some of his cattle out of
Chihuahua for sale In Texas. What
had not been known heretofore, how
ever, is the fact that Benton sought to
make it worth while for the rebel
chieftain to let him get his cattle out,
offering in return for this permission
to see that Villa got a certain amount
of arms and ammunition.
This proposal, it is reported, was
favorably received by Villa. Discussion
of the precise terms of the arrange
ment, however, led to a quarrel be
tween the two men. This quarrel
ended in Benton being killed, not by a
revolver, as was previously reported,
but by stabbing. Benton was attacked
with knives by those in Villa's office
during the discussion and not a shot
was fired. He was stabbed in many
places, and after he was dead his body
was mutilated in the unspeakable
manner of frequent occurrence in
Mexico. Whether Villa personally
aided in the stabbing of Benton is not
definitely known.

Mothers of little children will surely
like these caps. Each one consists of a

by means of a ribbon in one case, a cord
in the other, so that they are not alone
easy to make but also easy to launder.
In the picture, the cap to the left is fin

the one to the right shows more elaborate
embroidery. Tne straight cap can be
made from embroidery with success and
the fine Swiss embroideries are extremely
dainty for such uses. The straight strip
of material is simply turned back to form
the.revers while it ia drawn up at the
back to give shape for the head. The
cap to the right is in semi-circular shape,
the straight edge being the front while
the shaped edge forms a cape. For the
cold days, cashmere or material of a
similar sort can be made in this way but
it is not too early to talk of summer and
