A DEAD CUSTOMER.
He Engineered His Own Funeral and Sent the
Flowers.
Mem York Sam I

lNe,o York SUM-
"Did you ever have decidedly odd custom
err" asked a reporter of an uptown florist.
Yes said the florist.
"Who was he 2"
"a dead man. It was post-mortem order"
And what did the dead man want of flow
ers?D
i" He wanted them for his funeral"
well, I've heard good deal Of live business
men, but this is the first time ever heard of
dead customer"
81 shall explain it to you. There lived,
three blocks from here, in a tenement-houso
district, a cynical old gentleman, who spent
his time with his books and his thoughts, and
was stranger to everybody. He was dis
ciplc of Schopenhauer, and might have been
regarded as harsh critic from another planet
who had been shipwrecked on this little one
horse island in space and was sorry for it. The
only CLEAN of sunshine in his life was that he
hadn't kinsman, friend, or an acquaintance
in the world.
One day when he was very old he was sick
unto death. To divert himself during the
tedium of dying he contrived post-mortem
joke. He had $500 which he did not wish to
leave to anybody. Though he was stranger
in the world, the idea came to him that he
would spend the money in having the same
kind of a funeral that other people had. He
sent for a business agent, unfolded his plans
for the funeral, and then died with half
cynical, half-amused smile on his face.
Tho agent ordered the coffin, engaged the
carriages, hired pall-bearers gave the minis
ter a few points for q short eulogy, and then
came to my store and bought the flowers.
There wasn't mourner in the little church
where the last services were held. There
wasn't a person in the church whom the dead
man had ever known. There wasn't person
in the city who wasn't stranger to him. But
the coffin stood under the pulpit covered with
anchors, broken columns, pillowed doves, and
broken lutes bearing such notices as Good
by Old Comrade, AT Rest Farewell, Friend,
Still Remembered etc. They were the flowers
which the dead man had bought. l imagine
there must have been a sneer under the coffin
lid. believe there were six hired pail bearers.
'They put the odd old gentleman and his
flowers into the hearse and carried him to his
resting place. The carriages afforded the tene-
ment-house neighborhood free ride to the
cemetery. No tears were shed at the grave,
the pall-pearers got their pay, and it was a
very pleasant funeral"
