By HOWARD V. SUTHERLAND. The habit appears to be growing among the relatives of a deceased person to mourn his or her hence-taking in ungrammatical and unnsetrical song. Trisis one of the most blameworthy of modern customs, and may be as offensive to the dead as to theliving. Were the offense to be com- | mitted privately we should not have so much cause for complaint; but when, through the courtesy of the rropriclor=,| the verses appear in all their nakedness in | the columns of the newspapers we peruse at the breakfast-table, and form unholy alliance with our Chinese cook to cause us indigestion, then it is time for a suff:ring people to rise in their wrath and aemand | that the nuisance cease. The custom is | an old one, and undoubtedly originated in the days when every man and woman was by birth a poet, when obsequies were celebrated in metrical lamentation and happiness was an occasion ior song. those days of the world's infancy, | grief and joy were sublime, even as child- | nocd with ils pleasures and pain, and its | keen appreciation of either, isstill sublime. But things are different nowadays. Cen- turies of toil, of striving after little disks of metal instead of high ideal, have taken the poetry out of us; and although we could beat the money-changers of the | Temple at their own game, cr force the merchants of Pheoenicia and of early | Venice into insolvency, we could not com- pete with the least educated of them in matters otlier than mercantile or scien- tific. When, therefore, the soul of the average person bursts into song, the music thereof is likely to be feeble, if not untuneful. The thunder of Hamer and the other Greek, Hebrew and Latin bards has nowadays dwindled down (with a few occasional peals from an exceptional poet) to the twittering heard after the storm. And althougn they were able to sing of Death and the dead, seeing that they com- prehended Life, it is beyond us to do so, and ve are compelled to leave the subject atone. The best way we have of showing our grief is by being silent; much speech is not becoming, and the well-spring of song | is dried up within us. ‘I'bat these un- qualified versifiers offend wittingly against zood taste is not likely. When they write eir rbymed obituaries they do so with good mtentions, litule thinking that their effusions are more humorous than much of the comic verse of the hour. In calling | attention to the matter, I have not done | so in any spirit of ridicule, but merely | with the hope that people may be deterred irom committing themselves should their | accustomed share of bitterness. It is to be hoped that the sad affliction which has fallen on Miss Fiora MacDonald Shearer may be removed, and that one of Californiu’s sweetest poets will once more be permitted to sing the songs that have ! endeared her to so many. Miss Shearer’s | work is not as well known as it shouid but that appears to be the ruleratber than the exception with our own writers. Neither Miss Ina Coolbrith nor Miss | Emma Francis Dawson have acquired any sort of local populsrity, although the quality of their work entitles them to be ranked with the best of Eastern writers. Oid Omar may have been to his neigh- bors a stitchor of tents, rather than the author of the immortal Rubaiyat. Had these writers resided in London or New York as long as they have been hers their works would now pe in the hands of every reading person in this State. As | lion, now in Annapolis. would be a mostappropriate gift to present | to her Britannic Majesty at present, and | they happen to be right here with us they are systematically ignore; our peovle pore over Browning, Ibsen and Hall Caine, and then bewail the fact that there are no makers of literature in California. The poet, more than any one else, knows that ite must work for work’s sake, and that the immediate appreciation of a fow friends is all that he may expect. Were we to treat our singers better it might be better in the long run for ourselyes. We | should at least be spared the shame of | knowing that a good writer has been forced into a madhouse because her heart was hungry for a few words of apprecia- tion. Now that the health officers have turned their attention to Chinatown, the most interesting feature of San Francisco is undoubtedly doomed. From a sani- tary point of view the Chinese auar- ter may not be commendable, but to the | artist and the dreamer there is not in all the country a spot so artistic and un- modern. He who has grown weary of the monotonous routine of the bouse, of the tingering of dollars that are crime-stained and heavy witn countless sorrows, of all the petty annoyances that make our overcivilized life so unbearable, has only to walk a few blocks from the business quarter and he will find himself in the midst of a life so different, so picturesquely and suggestively strange, that his weariness witl be charmed from him. He will become one of the un- fathomable creatures that pass before him even as the shades must have passed before the eyes of the belaureled Man tuan. Men on whose passiontess faces neither sorrow nor joy have left their pencilings and women in whose so/t eyes one sces no clow 10 terrible secrets move to and fro | without hasite. In the top stories of ram- shackle buildings he will hear the music of shrill flutes, accompanied by monot- onous drums; and as he listens to the bar- baric cadence the savage that is in each one of yearn for a freeaom that has not been ours for centuries. Chinatown does not affect every one that way; but then so nany people live for the hour and have no thought of the one to coms and the many that are past. They will rejoice at the invasion of Chinatown by the health officers. Others will execrate them. A suggestion has been made that to| further coment the good fellowship exist- | ing between the two countries America should return to Great Brituin all relics of the unpleasantne:s that euded so dis- astrously for the latter. These relics con- sist of a few moth-eaten flagsand a wooden A wooden lion only good Americans would appreciate the deadly satire accompanying a thoroughly narmless action. It is the winter of the year 1937. The courtroom is crowded. An old man sits in the dock. His head is objectionably bald; his teeth are gone. He chuckles | quietly as oue assured of three square meals a day and a bed at night. The Judge is hidden behind volumes of testimony and evidence. He yawns con- tinnously as he listens to the lawyers arguing excitedly before him. *What do you know about this case any- way ?'’ demands the attorney for the pros- ecution of his opponent. “Just as much as you do,” retorts coun- sel for tha defense. The Judge attempts to bring them to order, but they pay little heed to him. ““Who is the accused ?’’ whispers a lady in the audience to the policeman beside | her. counting- | us will assert itself and he will | +Theodore Figel,”” gruffly answers the limb of the law. The biblical injunction that a man shall let his light shine before all men should certainly be made to apply to the bicyciist. It may be a pleasurs to the wheelman to cut off the toes of inncc:nt pedestrians or to remove sections from their lagging heels. It may be funny to scare short-sighted gentiemen out of a | year's growth, but the injured party is apt to take another view of the matter. i The star of the wheelman is in the ascend- ant, but the humble wreich who crawls afoot has still some title to the earth, or a portion of it. By establishing fruitsiands along the route to the Gollen Gate Park a few policamen might be attracted there, and by the yromise of sufficient reward might even be induc:l to occasionally arrest the wheelman who persists in trav- eling in darkness. | The statistics inform us that no less | than 4796 dogs were impounded during the last fiscal year. Of these 4083 were sent on to scratch themselves in happier | hunting grounds. This shows that the | Poundkeeper’s deputies are trusty and intelligent citizens, who believe in doing their duty in a dogged and persistent manner. How is it thetefore that they have so long overlooked the yellow dog of Mission street? The reputation of that poet who first finds a suitabie word to rhyme with “Klondike” is assured. Should he also | be sensible enough to patent it he may become wealthy. There appears to be no truth in the ru- mor that the starving Klondikers have | dined off members of the Examiner expe- dition. However hungry a man might be, however empty his appenaix, it is not likely that he would attempt to satisfy his cravings with a mouthful of Joaqui: Miller or the dry and unprofitable Liver- | nash. Mephistopheles Hamilton is said | by the primitive Klondikers to be in i league with the devil, and no one would think of killing the lady. The only ons ; who is in any danger therefore is the pho- tographer, and one kodak fiend more or less would never be missed. —————— HE SAW NAPOLEON'S I‘UNERAL. Captain Francis Martin, Formerly of the Revenue Service, 97 Years Old. The oldest retired officer in the United States is Captain Francis Martin of the revenue marine service, He livesin De- troif, Mich., but every summer he visits | Staten Island, where he generslly spends a month or two. He was born in the city of New York in June, 1800. He carries bis ninety-seven years comfortably, and loves to talk of old times and of his travels. He saw the funeral of Napoleon I at St. Helena, where his vessel, the Vigilant, put in for water. The shore was guarded by soldiers and nobody was allowed to land until the ceremonies were over. According to the old captaiu the whole affair was marked with extreme simplic- " ity. The coffin upon which the sword | and hat of the Emperor were placed was icarried to the grave by marines. A few | brief prayers and a soldier’s salute closed | the proceeding.
