Wandering Through Old Graveyards- Quaint Epitaphs of Those Long Dead 131-133-135 E. State St. M. Voorhees Bro. Trenton, N.

They are deserted old houses, haunted by former owners. In them reminder of other days that makes up the atmosphere of. old theaters where many famous Hamlets and Lady Teazles have trod the boards.

The oldest and most famous stone in the Springfield cemetery is that of Mrs. Mary Holyoke, daughter of William Pynohon, founder of the city. It was moved from the old burying ground near the river to its present po.sition early in the 19th century when the present cemetery was It reads as Her lyeth the Body of Mary, the wife of Elizur Holyoke, who dyed Oct.

A matter for consideration--an epitaph. If not chosen, something like this inscription in the West Spring- Held God's acre may be chosen for you, a better line for a newspaper story that is read today -and forgotten tomorrow than for an only lasting memorial; It says, "Both husband and consort died on Friday and of A bad day, Friday. Speaking of consumption, there is a remarkable epitaph in the little town of Rowley that reads: -Cold consumption dealt the blow; The result was fatal, though the effect was slow. we picking out pur own epitaph, we hardly know whether to choose the one that the town of I Shrewsbury erected to its oldest Inhabitant who was 117 years old when he died and, "For 99 successive years he wielded a scythe and at the age of 110 he mounted his without assistance," or that of George Savllle, who died in 1792 at the age of two months and 22 days, wordly wise beyond his When the, archangel's trump shall blow, And to bodyes join Millions win wish their lires below Had been as short aa mnv. JOHNBULLDOES NOW IRISH He Fails to Realize the Nature of National Aspiration For Freedom The average Englishman, as I meet him in tramcars, tea shops and other places of middle-class circumstances, is mightily perplexed about the Irish trouble.

Frankly, he does not understand the Irish' temperament, nor see any kind of solution or the Irish problem. For one thing, he' cannot bring himself to believe that the Irish have a real hatred of England and the English. He sees no adequate reason for and argues that the Irish with whom he comes in cpntact in London or elsewhere are people with a sense of humor and not at all murderous in their instincts. He likes most, of their men and all tljelr women, as far as he "knows them, and he believes in 'spite of all evidence to the contrary, that Sinn Fein 'and its "wild men" are only a minority of extremists who do not at all represent the great body of.Irish people, and that, therefore, their-violence is artificially engineered, and, if defeated by English resolution, would be followed by a renewal of friendship between our two peoples, provided Ireland were given a generous measure of home rule. He is beginning to admit, however, that there are some qualities in the Irish character which baffle him.

His remembrance of old novels by Charles Lever, Samuel Lover and other writers, as well as the stage type of Irishman traditional for a long time in England, still holds his imagination with the figure of a breezy, laughing, devil-may-care, ro- soul who helped to win most of England's battles and was loyal to the flag. Now recent experiences have taught him that there is something wrong in that picture. He finds an cruelty in the Irish people, cruelty of the peasant mind brooding over old grievances, 'unforgiving, relentless in the pursuit of vengeance. Where he expected weakness he -finds surprising strength --most obstinate resistance to English, "reason." Where he looked for sentiment, especially in the war wilh Germany, he finds" the hardest rt'iU- ism, a most selfish refusal of allegiance, and. worst of.

all, black treachery to Old England, in' her hour of need. What is the meaning of that? "What the devil," he asks plaintively, "is the matter'With th.ese It must be that aver.iKe. knows very tie" of Irish history. He' does not read it in his school books; not find it in his newspapers. He has not seen, as I have before the I war.

young men and girls I i standing on orange boxes in side streets on a Saturday night, reciting old ballads 'about the buttle of the Uoy-ne the massacre Of Limerick, and other 'episodes of tmprody whlc.h green in the memory of the people. He knows very little of the way. in which Irish industries were deliberately killed by Castlereagb--Cut- throat Castlereaph; as call him --nor of the i famines decimated the because of that policy, nor of the evictions under Knglish or Anglo-Irish landlords which made thousands of families homeless and foodless. nor of the penal laws which marie martyrs of their priests and tried to kill a people's faith, nor of the executions and a i i of Irish patriots many centuries of resistance to KnK- rule. The average Englishman has not" read much of that and does not that it is the intellectual food i the feed from early' childhood, so that the remembrance of all that history is black in their souls and a flame of passion in i hearts.

a the ordinary Englishman knows and admits a England in the' old days was "rather rough'' on Ireland--he is unaware that even 1 as recently as 1880 there were the evictions and terrorism of 'generously, as it seem him. he wishes to make amends. He thinks he has made amends by the' Wyrwlham land, acts which enabled the peasants to buy their land i English credit, anc fo'r the life -of him he cannot understand why the hark back to the past a refuse to recognize tha England is a good friend. Ho does not realize that anythins England does for Ireland, or has done or will do, Is. not received with gratitude, as a favor or as a generous act, but is regarded as a long- delayed concession forced from us and as dust in the balance compared with half a thousand years of tyranny, robbery, and; brutality.

does not understand that the claim for national independence has never been abandoned for all that time, and that, though the spark burns dim in times of misery, it flames up again and spreads, as it has now spread again, like a prairie fire throughout those island people with their frightful remembrance of history, their cherished a i their i pride, --Phjlip Oibbs in Harper's Magazine. KING'S REPRESENTATIVE The stately ceremonies which have attended the qonung of an English judge of the county assizes, three times in each year, may be accounted for by the fact that the judge, on these occasions, represented the king, and for the time being was accorded courtesies very different from those which would be offered king, himself, says the. St. Nicholas Magazine. In the quaint old city of Chester, which all traveling Americans better, perhaps, than city of England outside of London, if was the custom, before railroads were known, for the high sheriff of the county to meet the incoming judge wij.h a body, of men, armed with javelins, at the border of -the county which he was leaving, in order to conduct him in safety to the place in i was to reside during the t'erm of the Cheshire court, This came to be a very imposing ceremony.

On one occasion, sixty years ago, the office of high sheriff was rilled by a baronet, who 'awaited the judge of the county borders with eighteen javelin men, forty servants. One hundred tenants.y his entire family (filling three stately carriages), trumpters in two-detachments, two prominent editors in their carriages, and several of the cbuntj; gentry.
