THE PASSING OF THE TEDDY BEAR
—Cartoon by W. A. RogerR. in tho Nrw York Herald.
“Billy Possum” to Oust “Teddy Bear.”
♦—♦♦♦♦—♦
Georgians Preparing; to Put Out Little Animals.
;
(Special Dispatch to the New York Herald.)
Atlanta, Ga.—All doubt has been dispelled that “Billy ’Possum"
has permanently dethroned "Teddy Bear” so far as the State of Geor
gia and adjacent commonwealths are concerned. Already the Atlanta
visit of President-elect William H. Taft has stimulated Southern in-
dustry, and to-day n factory in that city began the manufacture of toy
opossums of the sizes and variety of the “Teddv Bears” that for an
extended period have held infantile affection and adult interest. The
“opossum grin” is now a term as widely used in this State as the “Taft
smile.”
SECRET JUST OUT ABOUT A DOCTORS’ WEIRD
FRATERNITY WITH A FANTASTIC RITUAL
Organization Never Before Heard of Has Chapters in
Many Cities and Originated in Chicago Mem
bers Give Bodies to Science, Then to Flames.
Chicago. — A strange secret of
thirty-one years’ standing was re
vealed when more than a score of
prominent Chicago physicians and
surgeons admitted that they were
members of the Ustion Fraternity, a
society having for its object the dis
section of the bodies of its members
after death and cremation of the re
mains.
This weird fraternity, to which
only members of ttye medical profes
sion are admitted,; is of nationfil
scope. Its headquarters ate in a
Veil furnished cl^bhopse at 3232
Lake Park avenue.
Chapters exist in New York, Phila
delphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit
and other cities. Its membership is
taken from the ranks of the most
prominent practitioners in different
parts of the United States.
Each chapter is known as a verte
bra. Th6 Chicago chapter, being the
first organized, is called the “Prime
Vertebra.” Its high officer is known
as the “encephalon,” and Its next
highest officer is the “medulla.” Its
other officers are named for other
parts of the human body.
The members of the fraternity
must undergo a preparation or ap
prenticeship of four years before they
are admitted to full knowledge of its
weird rituals. During this period
each must study some physiological
or medical problem entirely original
in his own mind. If his faith and
persevernace in the ironclad rules of
the society are deemed doubtful he
does not become a partof the “body.”
If the showing is complimentary the
fantastic ceremonials are adminis
tered. The society is divided into
three “degrees,” through which its
members must pass. They are fra
ternity. autopsy and cremation.
Dr. P. M. Oliver, who lives in this
city, is the supreme encenhalon or
national head of the Ustionians.
This strange fraternity had its In
ception at Hahnemann College, in
this city, in 3 87s. During the thirty-
one years of its existence its weird
teachings and practices have been a
profound secret. Its members at the
end of their probationary period take
an oath that silences their tongues
forever.
The life on this earth is enjoyed to
its utmost by them. At the end their
colleague^ attired in long white sur
gical gowfts, gather abqut the bier on
which lie ijhe earthly remains of their
friend. The spirit they know has de
parted, and the clay that Is left is
given over entirely to science. Their
theories are augmented by this grew-
some gift. When they have finished
the rites are said. At a crematory all
that remains Is given over to the
flames. The doctor that was is re
duced to a handful of dust.
Dr. Fred W. Wood, former su
preme encephalon, acknowledged
that the fraternity was for the pur
pose of autonsy and cremation. “We
believe in three degrees,” said Dr.
Wood. “They are fraternity, which
means the real fellowship on this
earth; autopsy after death, which
helns all mankind, and cremation,
which puts an end to the earthly
shell that remains after the spirit
has flown.”
“What is done at the autopsy?”
was asked.
“I cannot say,’’ replied Dr. Wood.
"Our oaths are solemn. What we ,do
to the body is all in the interest of
science. It does no harm and it ad
vances our knowleSge.”
“What is the fraternity’s belief in
regard to cremation?” was asked.
“We believe that cremation is pro
per. The body is hut clay, and sbon-
er or later becomes but a handful of
dust. When it. is given over toi the
fire all is elided. The translation of
’Ustion’ means fire.”

South’s Brains In Buslnsss.
The brains of the south have been
turned to business—brains that would
under better conditions, politically,
dominate the United States and give
it a strong, virile government of
statesmen. Turned into active busi
ness, the brains and ability of the
south are making this country rich
er year by year, in spite of Yan
kee pensions and protective highway
robbery, and we are going to get
along regardless of the conditions and
abuses of government. No Rockefel
ler or Harriman has yet been de
veloped to the point where he can
control the cotton crop or the sea
sons, and until such a one arises we
are all right, regardless of whom the
devilish hosts of Yankeedom may
select to roll around in tho presiden
tial chair.—Humboldt Courier-Chron

A Premature Celebration.
Andrew L. Harris, the fanner gov
ernor of Ohio, was defeated last No
vember for re-election. But In the
opinion of his neighbors, down in
Preble County, where he makes his
home on one of the most beautiful
farms in Ohio, he didn’t mind the
defeat at ail*compared with the time
Paul Sorg, the tobacco man, outdis
tanced 'him in a race for congress.
It wasn’t that he wanted to go to
congress so much. There were more
particular reasons that made the de
feat annoying. The first returns that
night indicated that "Andy,” as his
neighbors called him, was elected.
Everybody went over to his house
to celebrate. When still later re
turns confirmed his election, some
body suggested that they ought to
start a big bonfire. As there was
toothing else handy they just tore
tdown Andy’s nice picket fence and
used thabTor the big celebration. The
loss of the fence never feazed Andy
a hit—not that night. “But gosh all
hemlocks!” says one of his old neigh
bors, “how sore he was the next
morning when the corrected returns
came in showing that he was licked
after all.”—New York Presd.
TOO SMART A BOY.
Traveller—Say,' boy, your corn looks
kind of yellow.
Boy—Yes, sir. That’s the kind we
planted.
Traveller—Looks as though you
will only have half crop.
Boy—Don’t expect any more. The
landlord gets the other half.
Traveller (after a minute’s thought)
—Say, there is not much difference
between you and a fool.
Boy—No. sir. Only the fence.—

JOY WORK
And the Other Kind.
Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and
watch the throngs of people on their
way to work? Noting the number
who were forcing themselves along
because it meant their daily bread,
and the others cheerfully and eagerly
pursuing their way because of love of
their work.
It Is a fact that one’s food has
much to do with It. As an example;
If an engine has poor oil, or a boil
er is fired with poor coal, a bad result
Is certain, Isn’t it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of
health’s temple, and you will find
“Grape-Nuts” as a dally food Is the
most nourishing and beneficial you
can use.
We have thousands of testlmonialst
real genuine little heart throbs, from
people who simply tried Grape-Nuts
out of curiosity—as a last resort—
with the result that prompted the tes
timonial.
If you have never tried Grape-Nuts
It’s worth while to give it a fair, im
partial trial. Remember there are
millions eating Grape-Nuts every day
—they know, and we know, if von
will use dVape-Ntits every morning
your work Is more likely to be Joy-
work, because you can keep well, and
with the brain well nourished work
is a joy. Read the “Road to Well-

Her Visiting Cards.
“The story In The New Y0rk Press
about the short-sighted woman who
was ushamed to wear glasses, re
minds me of my Aunt Maria), who
begun to wear them and Is' ashg
to have any one knew
reader.
“Aunt Maria Is somethin?
business woman, and on
day not long ago made soveral calls
at offices where she was requested
to send In her card first. It Is her
custom to keep some of her own
cards in one side of her card case
and thostf of people she meets In
the other side. She thought she
knew the right-side-up of her card
case, and so without hesitation hand
ed out the bits of pasteboard to of
fice boys and secretaries on request.
She noticed that every one seemed
surprised to see her, but not until
several days had passed did she dis
cover the reason. Wishing to verify
an address, she consulted the various
cards' lh her case,
“‘Gracious!’ she shrieked, 'do you
know what I’ve been and done? Hand
ed out Tom, Dick and Harry’s and the
Lord only knows whose cards to all
sorts of people the other day!’
“And so It proved on Inquiry. The
good woman had sent In the cards
of various clergymen, dentists, lectur
ers, teachers und even one or two
toiilitary titles.”
PRESERVING THE PROPORTIONS.
A little Scotch boy’s grandmother
was packing his lunch for him to
take to school one morning. Looking
un Into the old woman’s face the boy
asked;
"Grandmother, does yer specs mag

“Aweel, tjien,” said the boy. “I
