D., New York City. Mrs. Luckey S was born and reared in this city. Her death occurred in Indianapolis J on Thanksgiving Day a few years ago. ' THE PERSONIFICATION OF VIRTUE “What would my poor life have been without her true companionS ship, her deep blessedness of fellowship and concurrent action of jB soul?” ;l From the words spoken by her husband over her bier, ThanksI. giving Day, 1919. I'm musing over a little spot Where the grass is always green. Each returning day it is my lot To dwell there with the unseen Who roamed with me many a year Here under ('rod's moundless blue As wile and companion very dear Then kindly bid me adieu. The memory of those golden years Passes sweetly o’er my mind And that lite and looks and words and fears Impress me so wiih her kind Th.it I can never fail to recall Her great usefulness to me And looking up through teardrops which fall Great beauty beyond I see. • [ A beauty much like that of our God Who on earth did only good. Transforming the path by which lie trod Into glory understood; And drawing me to the hallowed spot. Her tomb of three years ago, I look down and muse. “Lo, she is not. But up in heaven. I know!” Her physical heart is stilled with years, Her lips are now dumb to speech. Her eyes are closed to all my teal’s. Her' all is beyond my reach; But now with the good spirits there art One who is home in glory. Drawing the tender chords ol my heart There, with love’s old sweet story. I see her new in heavenly light With bodv spiritual, And all herself ethereal bright Among the celestial; Where the day is never changed to night And earth's darkness hath no part. Where’s fulness of joy with godly sight Inspiring my poor heart. I muse. “If lives were not immortal And in death souls die away. Then beyond the tomb and earth s portal Loved ones would not call today; And give such future aspiration. Such deep longings could no! be. Death is not living inspiration. Thank God they are calling me! Their loving spirit voices I hear In the wind above their grave As it moves in the trees which are near And causes the seas to wave; I see them in the dawn of morning. They’re present with noon-day sun. The pale moon the night world adorning Shadows them forth every one. Sweetly my beloved are calling nie By those soul voices I hear On the earth and the laugh-leaping sea. Everywhere, all time ol year, Lovingly calling from paths I roam Up to their dear loving breast, As by death, into that spirit home, God kisses my soul to rest- _

What Bid They Bo On Saturday Nights? Wo tire indebted Io a Colyumnlst In one of our daily newspapers for the following short history of the bath 1 tub: The first American bathtub was installed December 20. 1842 In Cincinnati by Adam Thompson. It was made of mahogany and lined with sheet lead. At a Christmas party.; In- gave nn exhibition of its use., and four guests took a plunge. The next day the Cincinnati papers, discussed tile invention, and violent controversy was provoked. Some papers designated it an epicurean lux- 1 ury, others as undemoocratie. as it' lacked simplicity In surroundings.' Medical authorities attacked it as' dangerous to health, a certain inviter[ of rheumatism, fevers 'and inflammation of tiie'lungs Tile controversy soon reached other cities and in more than one place medical opposition was reflected in legislation. Late in 184'3 the Philadelphia common council Considered an ordinance ‘prohibiting bathing between November 1 and March 15, and the ordinance; failed of passage by but two votes, j During the same year the Legis- ■ lation of Virginia laid'a tax of S3O: a year for all bathtubs. In Hartford,. Providence. Charleston and Wilmington, Del., heavy rat- s were laid on people who had bathtuba. Roton, early in 1845, made bathing unlawful except on medical advice, but the ordinance was never enforced and in 1862 it was repealed. President Millard Fillmore gave tiie bathtub recognition. While VicePresident be visited Cincinnati, in 1850 and inspected the original bathtub, and used it. On becoming pres-

Until recently the few remaining I members of the American Army of i Occupation at Coblenz were satisfied (<'remain. Their reasons were tiunier I ous. They are regular army men and as such were satisfied to remain at su< h posts as the government ordered. Now that many of their enlistments are near expiration, the soldiers are beginning to think of Christmas with the folks. Prices tire climbing. Only a tew hundred American soldiers re main. Coblenz isn’t the American center it was when thousands of khaki clad men were seen on every street, in every hotel and case. ‘'Them Days an* Gone Forever," according to the Amaroc, the A. F.

An excellent example of the change of sentiment was the attitude of the crowd at the departure of a casual detachment the other day. "On former occasions when troops were departing they were invariably sympathized with by those remaining and appeared to accept sympathy as appropriate. At the last train however, the situations might lie said to have been reversed, any of those on
