To the Kansas Association of Undertakers Gov, Hoch has delivered tn address which should be read and profited by. The preceding beeches had contained the customary jocular references to undertakers td to the relaxation from funereal visage ard customs which occur at 0 undertakers’ dinner. Following this Gov. Hoch spoke against the use of mourning em- | fems and said: “(Crepe at the door is not most expressive of mourning, nd garbing ourselves in black does not indicate the deepest sorrow. death should not be pictured in the sombre shades of night. The em- Jems should be of white, of purity, of light, and not of darkness and de- bair.” , Mourning for the loss of a dead relative or friend is a selfish form grief. The deprivation from the friendship, companionship and sym- which one has enjoyed is selfish loss. Death should be regarded fom the point of-view solely of the one who is dead, and whether he } she is not much better off by reason of the transition from the trou- | lies, anxieties, strife and errors of this life. . If every individual were to ask himself whether the balance of his Ye would not have showed happier results had it been closed in child. \pod the answer in the majority of cases would be “Yes.” ‘The desire *o retain in the human body the breath of life is physical ud not spiritual. The human passions instinctively seek further oppor- | imity for their exercise, but thc soul is constantly striving for release tom its confined boundaries. Death is natural and necessary. Without it-there would be no prog: | ess, and the world would be cumbered with wornout men and women ; Inable to secure a release from pain and the disappointments of physical As death is natural, why should it not be welcome and greeted , heerfully?

But there !s no mintmum. For while theoretically it may seem impossible to have too much to marry on, actually {t doman't seem pos- {Bible to have too little. Some people marry on $5 a week and haven't enough, others on $10 and get along perfectly, Marriage {s not so much a matter of money as | of nerve. If you have the nerve the lack of dol- | lars needn't worry you. ut “Mamma, ff children are an expensive luxury, | why do poor people have more than rich ones?” asked a youthful disciple of Theodore Roosevelt the other day, And the same query might well be applied to! marriage. For If its expediency were dotermined by worldly possessions the rich would marry more and earlier than the poor. And, of course, we know that they don't. | I know a young couple In New York, the hus- | band now a prosperous professional man, aa | at to i married six years ago on an Income of $50 a month, They lived in two rooms and had no snrvants, the wife doing her own cooking and making her own clothes, but she was well dressed and the best of food on the market was served at | thelr table.

It is not a question as affecting the proper joyousness of death whether j,man has religious beliefs or no beliefs at all.

If a man has fought well the! ight of this life and has won, he can welcome the close with satisfaction. f he has been one of the greater number to whom this world has given hore buffets than caresses and more curses than praise, he can welcome. he end of it all with a feeling that it is finished and that he is glad that tis over. Peath is not a stepping into a night of darkness, but into an illumina- ion of greater light.

WHAT is your name? A, Haven't any particular namt Q. Why haven't you? A. Because I'm not particue lar, I’m the Little Black Man, I did it. Blame,it on me, Q. Why do you appear so sad and disheartened? A. You'd be disheartened, too, if you found yoursel? out of a job, I can’t get anything to do at all, now, and J looked forward lo steady work for some years. Q. What makes you think that? A. Well, I went e Gouverneur Hospital to attcnd to a tidy little bit of work, and, oh! too, 100! — Q. Go on. What's the matter with you? A. Oh, it was one of the nicest Jobs I ever applied for. A poor, ignorant foreigner suffering from nouralgia see been burned so nicely with the word “Fakir” on his breast by a young joctor. Q. What had you to do with that? It was a burning shame. A. I went to the young doctor and I showed him my recommendations, gave him the Dames of all the big Equitable men I have worked for for years. Q. Well? A. It was no good. The doctor lost his nerve. I showed him letters from Lewis Jarvis I sald “Blame me. Say I did it!" But he weake ened. And he has fnvented a new excuse that will put me out of business, Q. What excuse is that? A. He sald he did it from “unconscious im- pulse,” Q. He was dismissed, was he not? it will mean an end to me. Q. Why so? A. Why did John Findley Wallace resign as Chief En- glneer of the Panama Canal? Why did Consu) Loomis trade checks with the asphalt company in Venezuela? Why did the Russian sailors mutiny? Do you see any mention of the Little Black May in any of these things? Q. Whom do all these persons blame? A. Nobody, They just say A. Yes; and served him right, but When they did it from ‘unconscious impulse.” Q. Is that all? A, No. Why did Depew take $20,000 a year from the Equitable? Why did District-Attorney Jerome buy $40 teeth for Dodge? Why did Big Tim Sullivan queer himself by hiring a valet? Why did Pres- ident Hadley, of Yale, take a million of Rockefeller's tainted money? Why did Johann Hoch murder bis wives? Why did Lewis Jarvis drop a few lines to let us know that he was well and hope we were the same? Do any of them employ me? Do they say The Little Black Man Did It? Q. Why do you come here to tell your troubles? A. From unconscious impulse—— No, I don't mean that; strike {t out! I am the Little Black Man; that’s why!
