4 MEAN MAN.

The following story comes from East
Wareham, Conn. Mr.. Solomon Greene
died, and by some mistake was dressed
for the grave in a coat belonging to his
brother Daniel. When the funeral pro-
cessiOn was we'll on its way to the grave
brother-in-law exclaim Good gosh ~
and see him fling open the door of the
coach and leap into the street. The pro-
cession stopped and for half an hour the
coach containing the widow Greene re-
manned standing in the street. Before
the funeral march was resumed her GU
riosity oveTcame her grief, and she hail
ed small boy and sent him to the Off
ciating minister with a request that he
would come and speak to her. To her
earnest inquiry as to what was the cause
of the delay, the good man informed her
that there had been some difficulty
with the remains" and on further pres
sure explained what that difficulty was.
1t appeared that Mr.. Daniel Greene had
suddenly remembered that he had left
his pocket book, containing 81 10, in
pocket of his coat, and that in another
pocket OF the same garment were his
handkerchief and pair of gloves. He
had rushed to the undertaken told him
that the remains were carrying off his
pocket book and other property, and
threatened to get out an attachment on
the coffin unless his money and gloves
should be instantly returned to him.
Accordingly, the hearse was stopped,
the coffin opened, and the pockets'o of the
remains were searched by the fearful
brother-in-law. 1t was not until the lat
ter had counted his money and found
the 81 10 in tact that the coffin was once
more closed, and Mr.. Daniel Greene,
with triumphant expression of face,
climbed back into the mourning coach
and resumed his mourning with COM
parative peace of mind.
