Tricks Of the Trade-The Cost of
an Average Funeral.

The cost of funerals is q matter that
comes home sooner or later to every
family, and then at times when affiic-
tion makes people little inclined to be
critical OF lnqulrlng. Whether eXtor-
tionate charges are made OF deceptive
practices are followed by undcrtakers is
phase of their business to which the
masses rarely give thought
"Therc are tricks in every trade, y
said Mr.. G. G. Lane,a south side under
taker, "and our business is i'll nowise an
exception. Our profits are large in the
gross, and, what is more, they are not
uniform with all our patrons. Compe-
tition in undertaking is as strong us in
most other kinds of business. There is
the same reaching out for trade, the
same cutting of prices to suit circum-
stances, and the same resorting to ques-
tionable practices. There is minimum
price below which we cannot furnish
goods, but there is no maximum price,
and most undertakers follow the eX-
ample of physicians and aim to make up
on one patron what they lose on an
other. Hence you will find the same
size, style and quality of casket sold
daily Mt differences of prices that are as
tonishing."

" The Daddy of JIM"

A friend of the senior Senator from
Kentucky tells this story:
Not long ago Senator Beck went out
to visit his son, who lives on ranch in
Minnesota. The nearest railway station
was twenty miles from the place, and he
hae great difficulty in finding a convey
ance. He announced himself to several
persons as James b. Beck, the United
States Senator, but no person seemed
impressed by it and money was no OBJ
iect to cart owners. At last he struck
an old fellow who had horses and n
wagon, but who, like all the others, was
not inclined to let them go. The Sen
ator offered him $40, and finally $40,
but it was no use.
ats very hard, he said; 81 have not
seen my son for long time. He lives
only twenty miles from here, and / can
not get there.
"What is your sons namel" asked
the old man.
".Iim Beck" was the reply.
Great Scottl" exclaimed the old
man. ''Are yop Jim Beck's fatherl"
"Yes, sir, am. +"
"Well, certainly, you can have the
team. l llnow..,Jim Beck, and I'll do
anything for his daddy"
The Senator drove away rather dis

because he was the daddy OF Jim.-

Accommodating a Borrower.

lend it tome"
81 haven't the money to day, Mr..
Choate, but you give me your note and
[ can get it cashed for you.
Gratified beyond measure, Choate sat
down to write his note.
''By the way ChOate," said Webster in
an of-hand way, ''you might as well
make that note for 81 900, and can use
$500 myself.
Certainly" said Choate, cheerfully,
and he signed q note for an even
81 900.
Then the immortal Daniel sauntered
down to a bankers office.
"Ah! anything L can do for you to-
day, Mr.. Webster y
"Can you discount note for $1,000
for me2"
"With pleasure.
The great statesman pocketed 81, 600
in bills, gave $500 to Choate, who was
effusive in his thanks, and kept the other
$500 himself.

A Horrible Story.

read, or rather had read to me the
other night, very horrible story OF
Griffiths Wainwright. 1t was out of n
book written by an Australian clergyman,
and, though the poisoner's name was
not mentioned, there could be no doubt
of his identity. When Wainwright
was released from prison, it appears
that for some time he acted as kind of
assistant surgeon ut hospital. To this
institution man, hated by Waine-
wright, was brought in dying condit-
ion. Just before he yielded up the
ghost scene took place, which, as an
example of unabated revengefulness,
surpasses anything 1 have ever heard
before.
Wainwright gained admission to the
man bedside, and in a piercing whisper,
loud enough to be heard by the next
patient, said: "Iistenl have one word
/ to say to you before you die" The
dying patient, as if suddenly magnetized,
lifted his weary eyes and stared Mt the
minutes, said his malignant tormentor
"your soul will be in hell, and before
your body is cold my dissecting knife
will be in your entrails. Those who
were present could never forget the
Mortified expression of the mans face as
his dying ear caught the frightful
words, and his dying eye took the i'm
preston of the cleaning Mephistophe-
liam face bending over his death bed

Colonel Henderson's Game Leg.

Colonel d. B. Henderson, the hand
some Scotch Representative from Iowa,
lost leg on one of the Southern battle
fields, but he handles his artificial limb
so well that few people notice it. When
Henderson first came to Congress, Joe
Cannon was considered the champion
congressional dancer, according to the
Washington Post, and he had everything
his own way at the National Hotel.
Joe, of course, had seen Henderson on
crutches, but when David appeared in
the ball room one evening standing on
two feet, and when few moments later
he was swinging one of Cannon's favor
ite partners through the giddy mazes,
for once the forefinger of Mr.. Camon's
left hand fell helpless down the seam of
his trousers. Joseph was simply par.
alyzed, and Henderson was the belle of
the ball all winter. 1t is said that since
Henderson announced himself as can
didate for Speaker, the Illinois candidate
spends good deal of his time wonder
ing whether Henderson san run rs well
on q game leg as he cal dance.

A Pair of Elk.

While J. ID. Block and Charles Upton
were hunting in Beaver Park, Col,
they ran across couple of buck elk and

pounds and the other 450. The antlers

another elk jumped away from the op-
posite side of the rock where the hunt
ors were hidden, the second elk being
not over twenty feet from the hunters,
who downed the animal after seven shots
had been fired into him. The first shot
broke leg for the first elk, and he was
trailed and killed afterward. While the
second animal had his backbone broken
in two places, he raised upon his fore
feet and snapped his teeth together in a
terrible fit of rage, and would doubtless
have made short work of his hunters
had he been able to reach them.

CoAL-oIL JOHNNY.
Incidents in the Wild Career of q
Man Who Spent a Fortune.

John Steele, better known to fame as
"Coal-Oil Johuny," during his wild car
eer in this city in the winter OF 1o64-5,
threw thousands of dollars to the wind,
and managed to get rid of as high as
5000 in a single day. He was bird
of gorgeous plumage, and by the bril-
liancy of his golden color soon attracted
around him the "sports" of shady repu-
tation, eager to wear in their caps as
many feathers as might be. Hundreds
of stories of his prodigality have been
told, but this, an authentic one, too, has
never before appeared in print. 1t was
related yesterday by man who knew it
to be true.
On one occasion, with several boon
companions, Coal-oil Johnny had oc-
casion to hire one of the hacks standing
on the old stand in Ninth street, by the
Girard House, for little excursion.
The team drawing the carriage was
rather scrawny, and did not travel with
the rapidity which Johnny" desired,
and which marked at that time all the
oil princes movements. He urged the
driver to put ON more speed time and
again, uptil finally the jehu, losing pa
tiencc, brusquely stated that he was not
going to kill his horses for paltry fare
Chow much are your horses and wagon
worth ?" inquired the irate spendthrift.
"Why, L wouldn't take 80, 500 for this
outfit" said the driver in a spirit of
braggadocia, and naming a figure about.
four times the value of the turnout.
"Well, here's your money!" said
johnny Steele, counting$2, 500 in green
backs and handing them to the aston
ished hackman. "Now this outfits
mine, aiu't it2 So you drive just as fast
as you can, and if the horses die, why
it IS my loss"
The horses were put under the whip
and managed to complete the excursion
and bring the men back from the hotel.
When Coal-Oil Johnny alighted from
the carriage he turned to the driver and
said .'Say, Charlie, L don't want them
horses; you can keep 'em; / make you q
present of the whole outfit, and turn
ing on his heel walked into the Girard
House.
On another occasion, when Johnny"
was exhilarated by the only stimulant
which he deigned to use in those days,
champagne, and which he always desig-
mated when he gave another order ut the
bar, "Another bottle of wine, he, with
a party of admiring satellites who always
were found attached to his orbit, one
evening in n playful manner took up
heavy arm chair in one of the parlors of
the hotel and hurled it against pier
glass, shattering it to pieces. This per-
formance was hailed with delight by his
friends, and he repeated it by smashing
another mirror. At this point the pro-
pIietor, Mr.. Kanaga, came in and ex-
postulated with his guest, saying that
he might carry the fun inspired by his
exhuberance of spirits a degree beyond
decorum. "How much do you want for
your hotel - said the oil prince, indig-
nant that his pleasure should be inter
rupted; "why, I'll buy it and burn it
down !''--PhilGdeLphia Press.
