Gently struck small town in Missouri where

Readipg HIS Own Obituary.

A certain prominent citizen of New York
was so i'll a short time ago that the reporters
set the death watch at his house, and one
OF them prepared half column obituary OF
him, sketching his traits and career The
prominent citizen happened to recover from
his illness, and the other day, by a curious
concatenation of blunders, he came into pos
session of that obituary sketch, unbeknown
to its writer. He shrunk into himself, and
was ready to hunt UP hole to hide in, when
he saw the size to which ne had been reduced
by the obituary writer, and the features of
his life that had been prepared for presenta-
ton to the public as soon as he had lost his
breath. But the prominent citizen thus
learned how he looked to an observant re-
porter, and which of his features were con.
sidered as interesting to the public. The
knowledge of himself obtained by the prom
inent citizen in this way has already aided in
purging his vanity.-New. York Sun
