far distant from the union men. A monument erected by the government to the latters* memory bears the following words:

Some Early Ailments.

"Erected by the United States to mark the burial place of eleven confederate soldiers, who while prisoners of war. died at Terre Haute and were buried in this cemetery where the Individual graves cannot be identified."

Doctors were not so polite with regard to death in the old days. But perhaps Latin names were not then so popular for the covering up of many— ah—short comings'. Looking through some of the old records of burials at Woodlawn, I noted that quite a number had died from "Bad Whiskey." At the present wa say "alcoholism" If the deceased chances to be of little importance to the world in general. But if he has made some sort of a niche for himself, we call his last Illness by anything but the right name. Such is progress!

There were others whose fathers were caused by "colds" some died of "brain fever" a few with "palsy" many of "consumption" and any number of Just common, ordinary "fits.'* "Does this work ever get on your nerves?" I asked the superintendent.

He has a cheerful disposition—fortunately for him I should say—and the little, laughing wrinkles about his eyes quickly came into evidence as though he thought I was getting a case of "spooks'' or took matters too seriously, "Why, no," he said. "We never think of the work in a way that bothers us It's our business to keep the grounds and graves in good condition. We owe it to the public and to the people who have their dead buried here. There are about forty acres of ground in this cemetery and six miles of driveway, Besides, we average about twenty funerals a month."

It required little calculating, I could easily see that there was no time left for getting morose over the graves of those who have "passed over" or conJuring up ideas as to whether they hivo gone. Mr. Whitlock, however, be- i lieves In the immortality of the soul. lie let that much slip. He was discussing the numbers of people who visit the oemetery regularly. He said many came every Sunday, some oftener, others not so often and many not at all. He told me that for the past three years, one woman drove dally to a little grave in the cemetery. She doesn't tarry long, Just drives up, looks and then passes on.

As we paused to look over the south section of the cemetery where the oldest graves are located, the absence of flowers in that section was quite noticeable. "These folks, most of them,"

accidentally iot and [the superintendent explained, have no relatives left to look after their graves. "See that large monument over there?" he pointed out a very beautiful one. "That man was a millionaire once. He went broke and nobody ever visits his grave!"

How shallow are life's affections! wondered how many scores of people had loved him when he was a millionniro and who would have paid regular visits to his "last resting place" to shed a loving tear had it been possible for him to have left a million or two.

Mr. William Rogers, Mr. "Whitlock's very efficient assistant, has done some excellent work in making up-to-date and comprehensible charts of the cemetery since he's been on the grounds. Previous records of this nature hat"! outlived their purposes certainly a decade or more ago. The fact that Woodlawn Is "going back," as Mr. Whitlock says, that is, not being used so extensively since we have Highland Lawn, has not caused those In charge to lose any of their pride in It. Aside from keeping the grounds in beautiful condition as well as the grass plot along the side walk extending the full length of the cemetery, old records are being re-copled for easy reference and the chart making is going on constantly.

Never Saw Single Spook. Since Mr. Whitlock's time at Woodlawn, there have been less than a dozen bodies removed, he said. I asked him how he felt when he was called upon for dis-interment. He changed the subject.

Never has a superintendent nor his assistant experienced the thrill of a ghost. I don't believe they have 'em any more. But then they leave the grounds about 5 o'clock, unless there's something very special on, and that's too early for ghosts to walk.

Despite all of Mr. Whitlock's assurances that one can live a very normal existence in his position, I don't envy the superintendent or sexton of any cemetery, his Job. It's very necessary, of course. Somebody's got to do it But I'm glad that it doesn't happen to be my lot.
