PLACE STATUES AT GRAVES Whlle all civilized nntlons either bury their dead or place them In vaults or msnsoleums, there ls n curlous cus- tom carried out by the people of Budne pest. This Is found In the large ceme- tery In that clty whlch ls known a the Kerepesl Kozlmero. where nearly every fnmlly ln Budapest burles it! dead. It is very large and contains a number of handsome monuments, or pedally the one to Kouuth. who ll known as the George Washington of Hungary. The visitor to that city of the dead will find at the grave in photograph. painting or statue of the person who ll buried beneath each stone. an exchange states. When the family is wealthy there is the bust or a recumbent figure of the dead man or women made from his or her intest picture, while beside it sits or stands the statue of the nearest living relutiva, man or woman. carved from life. Still another peculiarity is the bronze or iron lamp posts on the graves and the huge silver bulls set up or. many. The latter are like the colored glass halls used upon our Christmas trees, except they are always silvered and much larger. There seems tn be no way of lighting the lamps, and the only inference is that they are used to light the dead to heaven or where candles may be placed when relatives or friends are offering prayers for the dead. HISTORY NOT MERE RECORD There is no commoner cause of hi» torical misjudgment than the ten- dency to read the events of the past too exclusively in the light of the present. and so twist the cold and un- conscious record into the training service of controversial politics. And yet history is inevitably to a great ex- tent a work of the imagination. No good historian is content merely to re- peat the record of the past. He has to understand it. to see behind it. to and more in it than It actually says. He cannot understand without the use of his constructive imagination. and he cannot imagine eifectively with- out the use of his experience. I be- lieve it is one of the marks of a great historian to see both present and past, as it were. with the same un- clouded eye, to realize the past story as it it were now proceeding before him. and onvisago the present much in the same perspective as it will bem- when it is as one «hunter. or so many pages in tha- grout volume of the past.

David Burbank roamed llltlessly about the house in search of something to pass away time. A slight cold wu the reason he wasn‘t allowed to go sliding with his chums. He failed to find anything among his playthlngs that appealed to him, so he struck a few notes on the piano. but was promptly told by sister Adele “to stop that noise!" The little fellow wondered what made Adele so cross. She was usually u good pa] with her young brother. but today she had only cross words for him. He had caught sight of a pile of let~ (era. but failed to notice that each one hnd been opened. and that they were all but one addressed to his sister. He counted them; there were twentylour in all. “What's this?" be queried aloud. “Sister must have forgot to mull her letters: I'll go mall ‘em, then maybe she won't be so cross at me." He quickly put on his coat. cap, rub- bers and mittens and, taking the let- ters under his arm, proceeded down the street. Davie walked on a little further. then quite suddenly he retraced his steps. He had an idea. Why not play he was the postman, and leave the letters at different houses? With him, to think was to act, so he didn't stop to consider the fact that he might not leave them at their intended designations. but quickly ascended the steps of the nearest house and dropped the letter at the top of the pile into the mail box. Then he rang the bell and hurried on. He repeated this at four or live‘ houses, then decided to try differentl streets Ere long he came to the home . of Wilbur Downes. Wilbur was a par- 1 tlcular friend of Adele’n In fact Ii. l though the little brother didn't quite‘ understand the situation, he had been 4 Adeles promised husband. bqt only a few days previous they had parted with l bitter words. L “Guess I‘u leave two letters tor Wil‘ bur," was the [ad's next inspiration. H0 carefully selected two fat letters from the bunch and dropped them in the box one at n time. At last he had finished his self-1m- posed task and turned his step. home- ward. The family were at supper. Mother's headache was better; Adele looked pule Ind! was very quiet.

Davie was very anxious to hear the remainder of the conversation so I.» hustlly got out of bed and went intn the spare chamber on tlptoe. Tllerv was a register In the floor right owr the parlor stove. and he had on several occnalonn listened here when Wilbur was culllng on Adele. He heard the following: “I found these two letters In the mail box at home, and 1 can't hunglne how they got there. Perhaps you can tell “Let me see them!" and Adele watched them away from him. One wu addressed to her In Wilbur'a hand- writing: the other was addressed to him In her own penmanshlp. Her cheeks flamed and she got up and walked the floor. After a few mo menu she (need Wilbur and asked pep emptorily: "Did sop read the one addressed to you?" "Of course I did. Adele: what else could I do?” “Well. I surely didn‘t want you to see ltâ€"not yet, anyway. Dav1e must have put them there. but what hls ob. ject was I can't imagine.” “Well. Adele, if you rmIly meant what you wrote. I shall bless Davie to my dylng day. Tell me. dear. did you ?" The listener upstairs was getting ex- cited.
