A LITTLE WHITE HEARsE.
A Tiny White Coffin Buried Beneath MnsseI
of Lilies and Pale Rosebuds.

A Tiny White Coffin Buried Beneath Masses
of Lilies and Pale Rosebuds.
From the Detroit Free Press.l
The funeral procession comes slowly along
the street. Drawn by two milk-white ponies,
the little white hearse with its nodding white
plumes moves on. Upon Its snowy, siIken cur
tains, buried beneath great masses of lilies
and pale rosebuds rests tiny white collin.
All is white-as purely white as the little soul
that has fitted away from the waxen baby
form lying within the coffin.
At the street corner stands a crowd of noisy
boys, tossing a ball back and forth among
them. The crush Of the passing wheels falls
upon their ears and, looking up, the ball is
dropped. the loud shouts hushed, as each boy
doffs his cap and stands in mute reverence
while the little white hearse passes by.
A street car comes rumbling along the track
the bell upon the horses neck jingling and
Changing upon the air. The driver sees before
him the little hearse with its fiowcr-strewn
burden and feels his strong heart throb be-
meath his rough jacket. The brakes are down,
the bell hangs silent upon the horses neck,
while the driver with bowed head thinks of his
baby boy whose ruby lips he kissed to-day at
parting, and thanks God that no hower-decked
coffin lid hides away his Laughing face. The
passengers look out and the women whisper
with a sigh: ''Some mothers eyes have looked
their last upon her baby"
Amid the CRIME and Gust OF the street q long
row Of laborers delve with bent forms In the
earth bsneath. The rull of wheels is heard,
the weary bodies are lifted in vague curiosity.
and each totl-hardened face softens as the little
white hearse goes on its way to the grave.
So on, by merry girls who check their gay
laughter; by stern-browed men, who forget for
moment The mighty problem of money and
trade and ambition, and give heeting thought
to that world where the baby has gone, and
where this remorseless struggle for wealth and
fame and power will count for naught; on, on
through the ranks of the weary and toil-laden.
who gaze and sigh for the rest the baby has
found the little white hearse goes, teaching its
lesson Of love, Of pity and Of rest.5
