Certain psulins were sung uud Scriptures read, and when a person entered the room they .knelt before the corpse and repeated the Lord's Prayer. Pence and halfpence were given to Ihe poor In place of sinult rolls of bread, which wus the older custom. Along the road from the house to the churchyard at every cross-road the bier was rested on the ground and the Lord's Prayer repeated ; so ulso on entering the church. City of Memories.

Chaplain Clarence Northcott of Hel ena, Mont., who is out in the interest of the Methodist centenary movement, spoke at the First Methodist church yestcrduy morning to an appreciative audience. He developed the theme that "We are not our own," that ns individuals, as communities, as nations we are nob our own., but belong to humanity. At the call of civilization nations lay aide their individuality in a pieat cause. He spoke. of the problem' of life in the prent cities illiteracy, vrce, crime, injustice, repression, squalor, bad housing which he said were not the problems of Chicago nKnc, but of the entire nation. In the company of 2"0 men, with whom he was mustered into the United States nrmy were seventy-eight men who could neither read nor write the Knirlish lnngu;itre. Among the men called in to the army, by first draft were 73,000 who could neither read n A- write our language. Such n peril to our democracy as thh is not the problem of nny one com munity or state, but of nil our people working together. He argued that we belong to great causes, to the uplift of humanity, to Cod nd not to our selves. Oflen a "falling star" will disap pear while we are Batching it. In that else It hns probably melted wholly, then turiietl lo gas, mid, us , it particles cool, will fall slowly and ' unnoticed as dust. It Is believed that the surface of the earth has; been built up in no stn.ill decree, in 'igesTiast, by eurh im-tooric dust. i"hat causes these "rhoting stars" j to fall Is the same.tUing that cnuses'j aa annles to fall the gravlt.itlonal !

'LESS THAN KIN" FINE PLAY FOR WALLACE REID Xtv Photophty Huppy Mixture of . Thril1n, MyNtery ami ImiliH Aplenty. Of the numerous meritorious pho toplays iu which Wallace Held has starred lu the lust year, none pre sents a happier mixture of thrills, mystery uud iuuglis, thuu "Less Than Kin," the latest Paramount starring vehicle lor Mr. Reid which will he shown at the. Arcado tliwntro today. This Is especially t'i'uo as regards laughs. The first laugh conies when Mr. Jteld, as Lewis Vickcrs, n dare-devil young American, who Is tompnrnrlly sojourning in Contrul Amorlcn becuui.o ho Is "wanted" in tho United StatoB for murder, tries to drill a nitilloy Central Amerlcnn army, which Its mounted on miilus, burros and horsos. The difficulties of getting this 'iworst army In the world, as Mr. Held calls them dur ing rohearsal, In shape, provides some screamingly funny situations, which will bo heartly appreciated by all who see the picture. The thrills and ' mystery come when Vick-ers, In his desire to re turn home, assumos the name of a young ne'er-do-well, whom he re sembles amsiinly, and whose death he had witnessed. The Imposture provokes mapy sltuatlqnt that hold the Interest ss 'by a spell. Vickers eventuslly finds love, fortune and happiness, aa4 tha development of the story throughout Is one of un nsual charm.

COMING WEDNESDAY MRS. CHAS. CHAPLIN -Rees PfiONE MAIN 771 on the Job. - : 1 ' No matter - whether prices were low or high; whether wool was worth little and cotton less; no mat ter about cott f fertilizer and Beed machinery and labor. No matter whether triers was a profit in It or not, the farmer, all of him, kopt right at the Job every day In the year, and almost every daylight hour In the day. And about all the. apprecliitlon he has had for his faithful effort has been the bowhlskered jests of the ' cheap urban Jokessmlth, and the silly slap-stick slams of tho ham uctorotte. And yot tho farmer has Just as much right to strike as '.he city worker. And- probably Just as much ex cuse. Only the air of tho fields and the breath of the hills breathe a higher sentiment than do the rock bound city streets, and 'the brazon doors of man mado temples to the Gaoat God Cash. The farmer, ns a mnttor of course, owes his duty to thoso who depend on 4iliu for tholr bread, Just aa he wilf mortgage this home to buy food befuro he will allow even one aged nag to go hungry.
