uaity burial case with a swell door

id We drutl,cr do for 4 corpse like
that n any I've tackled in seven
year. There's some satisfaction in
buryiu' u man like that. You feel
that What you're doing is apprecia-
ted. Lord bless you, SOS he got
planted before he spilled, he was per-
fcctly satisfied said his relations
meant well, perfectly well, but all
of them preparations was bound to
delay the thing more or less, and he
didn't wish to be kept layin' around.
You never see such u clear head MS
what he had-apd so calm aud 80
cool. just a hunk Of orains--that
was what he was. Perfectly awful.
Ii was a ripping distance from one
end Of that mans head to t'othor.
Often and over again he's had brain
fever a-raging in one place aud the
rest OF the plle didn't know any
thing about it--did'nt affect it any
more than an Indian instruction in
Arizona affects the Atlantic States.
Well, the relations they wanted a
big funeral, but corpse said he was
down on iummery--don't want any
professionally the hearse full of
mourners, and get out a stsrn-line,
and tow him behind. IIc was the
most down OF styles Of any remains
] ever struck. A beautiful, simple
minded c%rcature--it was what he
was, yon car depend on that. He
was just set on having things the
way he wanted them, aud he took a
solid comfort in laying his little
plans. lie had me measure him
and take a whole rat OF directions;
then he had the minister stand up
behind along box with a table-cloth
over 1t and read his funeral sermon.
saying 'Angcore! Angcoreg at the
good places, and making him scratch
out every bit Of bray about him, and
gil the hiialutin and then he made
them trot out the choir SOS he could
help them pick out the tunes for the
occasion, and he got them TO sing
Pop Goes the Weasel, because he 5
always liked that tune when he was
down hearted, and solemn music
made him sad. And when they
sang that with tears in their eyes
because they all loved HIM, and
his relations gricved around, he laid
there as happy as a bug and trying
to beat time and showing all over
how much he enjoyed it; and pres.
entity he got worked up and excited,
and tried to join in, for mind you lie
was pretty proud of his abilities in
the singing line; but the first time
he opened his mouth, and was just
going to spread himself, his breath
took a walk. | never saw a man
snufiled out so sudden. All, il was
n great loss--it was a powerful loss
to this poor little one-horse town.
Well, well, well, | hain't got time TO
be ~palavcring here--got to nail on
the lid and mosey along with him
and if you'll just give me q lift wen
