BURIED ALIVE,
A Leper Follows His Own Coffin and
Stroud to the Grave.

In the village of Climbing
where the Basic Chinese mission
has a station, the following sad
event has taken place: "a man
OF sixty years of age was afflicted
with leprosy and lived in a hut
within the village. The villagers
often urged the old man to remove
his hut outside the village and
live on the hills to prevent con-
tamipation, promising that they
would always provide him with
food. However, the leper did not
wish to leave the village, nor dar-
ed his relatives press him to do
SO.
Lately it happened that the le-
per was lying asleep in his hut.
His son came and wanted to bring
him something to eat, but calling
into the hut he received no answer
from his father. There was soon
a gathering of the people, but no
one ventured to go inside of the
hut Some stones were thrown at
the door to see if the man took
any notice of it, and as there was
still no signs of life in the hut, the
general conclusion was that the
occupant was dead.
The resolution was forthwith
taken to have the leper buried.
His son went to neighboring vii
lage to engage coolies for digging
a grave and carrying the corpse
out. During the absence of the
son the elder of the village came
to the scene, and learning how
matters stood, boldly opened the
door and entered the hut, when 10
and behold it turned out that the
leper had only enjoyed a sound
sleep.
However the coolies had been
engaged for certain sum of mon
ey, and came along with the son,
ready to do the work which was
required of them, or at all events
to receive the promised pay. After
some deliberatlon the villagers I'M
animously put it before the leper
that, as things had come to this
pass, he had better make up his
mind and allow the funeral of
himself to go on. To this the un-
fortunate man consented, and
took leave of his daughter-in-law
and two grand children, enjoining
upon her to feed the two pigs we'll
and also take care of the poultry.
A coffin was provided and the
shroud redeemed from the pawn
shop. A fowl was killed and
rice and pork provided as fare
we'll dinner FOR the leper.
Next morning very early the
procession started from the hut.
First came the coffin carried by
the coolies, and behind it walked
the leper to his grave, the son and
elder bringing up the rear, carry
ing the shroud and the pot which
contained the opium. Having
moved up a hill a distance OF
about two miles from the village
the party halted and a grave was
dug. The leper took a last meaI
and then swallowed the opium
After this he put on the shroud
and pair of shoes, and laid him
self down in the coffin, when the
coolies put the lid on it, without
waiting till the leper should have
lost consciousness, and lowed the
coffin into the grave.
