Distinguished Lo oling Gentlemen Who
Are Hired Out for Funeral Purposes.
I stepped into an undertaker's Office
the other day and made bold to ask the
young man in charge if there was any
thing new in the funeral business. Hav-
ing satisfied him that my mission was
not one of idle curiosity simply, he re-
piled: 'If you won't mention this firm S
name will tell you, The latest thing
is to provide a certain class of people
with mourners. You know-or if you
don't can tell you it is true-there are
some people whose circle of acquaint-
ances is limited and yet they make des-
perate efforts to keep up appearances in
that particular. They are always tell
ing about Mr.. and Mrs. So-and-So hav-
ing called, or how they called on Judge

that they have a big acquaintance.
Well, one of the family dies. 1t is
necessary to have big funeral. They
know then that the sham is at an end

have undertaken to supply this some.

"We have some of the mournfulest
looking costumes here that you ever
saw. We have arrangements made
with number of young men who are
out of business by which they call here
once day for their orders. When an
order comes in for q casket and car
riages, we ask: How many mourners
shall we sendP If the person is of the
class | tell you he generally orders ac-
cOrding to his circumstances. Some
times we send out as many as eight or
ten. We pay them one dollar apiece to
take look at the departed, and where
they take on to any great extent we pay
them fifty cents extra. 1t has never
failed to work. We've got one chap
here who looks like Judge Lyman
Trumbull for the world. Reporters
often mistake him for Trumbull at a
funeral and print it 50. The old scoun-
drel has got on to the racket and won t

This important region comprises the
rich agricultural and grazing States and
Territories of Minnesota, Dakota, Mon
cana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon.
The returns from the Minnesota cen
sus taken in May, 1885, show popu-
lation in the State of 1,117790. In
1880 it was OTIS. The assessed valu-
alton of property in Minnesota is $4Ol>-

crease, S142, 973,044.
The cities of St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, the largest and most important
business metropolis OF the State, and in
fact of the entire Northwest, show al
unprecedented growth. They are Sit
uated so near each other that their cor
porate limits now join, and form -
great commercial center. They are
about equal in size, and their combined
population by the census of May, 1883
was 24O. 597; in 1880 it was $4,000, in

Among the many stories Lincoln used II
relate was the following: Trudging along
lonely road one morning on my way to
the county seat, Judge - overlook me
with his wagon and invited me to seat.
We had not gone far before the wagon
began to wobble. Said /: "Judge, think
your coachman has taken a drop too much"
Putting his head ont of the window, the
judge shouted why, youinfernal scoun-
del, you are drunk
Turning round with great gravity, the
coachman said: "Be dad but that's the

If people knew the facts they would be
surprised to learn how many people reel in
the streets who never "drink DROP They
are the victims of sleeplessness, OF drowsy
DAYS, of apoplectic tendencies, whose blood
is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they
will reel no more-they will drop dead, just
because they haven't the moral courage to
defy ssprofessionala attendance, and by
use of the wonderful Warmers safe cure
neutralize the uric acid in the system and
thus get rid of the drunkenness in tn
blood. h-The american R,ral Home.
