A Very Amusing Incident

A funny incident of a Quaker funeral
was noticed by Brooklyn correspon
dent. A grave-looking gentleman with
an unusually tall, white hat entered
and, seeing no rack in the hall, placed
his hat on the floor just behind the
door. Pretty soon another grave
Quaker entered with q largo, dripping
umbrella, and peering anxiously for the
usual receptacle, saw in the gloom the
hat resting on the floor. His cyesight
was probably poor, for he mistook it for
one of the new umbrella holders, and in
It he deposited his dripping umbrella.
This was an example for those who fol.
lowed, and in short time the solemn.
looking hat was stanchly holding .
dozen umbrellas. at the end of the
service the water in the hat was half an
inch in depth. II Boston Advertiser.
