The' referendum on the new constitution will make us such. It will take the pooled efforts of "li the women to enlighten ana crystal:ze the suffrage sentiment in the state. "We must 'consider it in the light of a prolonged Lenten period in which we give up our personal convenience and interests for the common gooct. We must be fearless. "The women who do not participate are open to even more criticism than those who do. A visible example-was our suffrage parade in Terre Haute The interested women who did not join the procession received moi'e comment than those who did."

Therefore, the high cost of living is far more noticeable than it would be if amusements were along the line of days past."

This opinion /was brought out in a high-cost-of-living discussion, which was a part of the miscellaneous program given by the Athenaeum mem-, hers, e'ach of whom took up §ome current topic in which she was vitally interested.

BARBED AT FUNERAL.

Pioneer Refuses to Motor to Cemetery—Leaves 183 Descendants. LONG MONT, Col., March 17.—Carrying out the wishes of the late Sarah Miller, 84-year-old pioneer, an oldfashioned funeral marked her burial. The services were held in the old Dunkard church, at Hygiene, six miles West of Longmont, and carriages were used solely for conveyances. The body was conveyed to the church and from the church to the Hygiene cemetery in a horse-drawn hearse. It wa.s the first funeral of the kind held here in several years without the ^se of automobil'es. "It looks like hurrying one out of the world to rush a body to the cemetery in an auto," was the oft-repeated remark of Mrs. Miller, as one by one she saw the pioneers lajd away, "and when I' go I want an old-fashioned funeral and an old-fashioned sermon preached over my body.'.'

Her surviving children carried out her wishes to the letter, the Rev. Frank Beach, of the Christian church, officiating at the funeral.

For many years Mrs. Miller was a conspicuous character in the Long­

Seven of her children were at her bedside when she passed away. A stroke of paralysis suffered Thanksgiving day was the direct cause of her death.
