FACTS FOR AN OBITUARY.
The Good Men Do Lives After Them ant
Is detailed To the Reporters


The Good Men Do Lives After Them and
Is Detailed to the Reporters.
AS disagreeable duty probably as
any that ever falls to the lot of re-
porter is the getting of facts for the
obituary notices Of persons who are not
especially prominent. Newspaper men
always shrink from the work and are
loath to enter a house of mourning.
The exigencies of the profession demand
it, however, and strange as it may seemi
sometimes the men actually have COM
ical experiences.
This is best illustrated by the narra-
ton of a recent occurrence in New
York A death notice had been re-
ceived late in the evening, and to the
trained eye Of the night city editor bore
all the earmsrks Of "good obituary"
These are indicated by the penmsnship
of the notice, the location of the home
of the deceased, the name, the wording
and numerous other minor details, such
as one unfamiliar with newspaper work
would scarcely notice.
The reporter assigned to the task pro-
ceeded to the residence given with feel
ing akin to a desire TO exchange places
with the corpse. In response TO the ring
Of the bell an airish young woman, pre-
sumably the widow of an elderly man,
opened the door Of the house, which was
in a good neighborhood The reporter
introduced himself and the subject as
delicately as possible.
"Oh, I'm delighted 10 see you, replied
the woman eifusively, in answer to the
deprecating words Of the man. "Iye
always wanted to see a reporter, she
added, looking curiously atthe specimen
before her, as though astonished at see
ing respectfully appearing individual
Then followed the ordinary questions
by which the reporter found out when
and where the man was born, where he
/ was educated, the list Of clubs and fra
ternal lodges Of which ho was mem
Der, whether he had fought in the war,
and a dozen other things
1T does seem SO strange remarked
the woman Here l am telling you all
these things, and he viii never read
your article, He would have been 50
/ pleased. You know, he was literary
man himself,
"lndeeds SAID the reporter brighten
ing up at the prospect Of swelling his
stickful Of matter to at least quarter
column. 81 had forgotten 70 ask the
occupation win you kindly furnish
me with a list Of his works.
"Oh, he didn't write booksl'
Magazine articles" queried the re
porter, with wayering hopes,
"No," said the woman
Newspaper man perhaps asked the
reporter sadly, for his imaginary quar-
ter column had again shrunk to an ac
tual shckful
"He did not write at all, remarked
the woman, at last brought 10 bay.
"Whatr said the reporter, his curios
ity at last thoroughly aroused, mo
even for trade papers, advertising liter
ature theatrical posters, programmes. "

Funny world we live in. A man who
has six horses standing idle in stable
walked two miles out in the country on
little matter of business day or two
ago, while another man who had no
horses and very little money hired a
team to go the same distance. This was
an actual occurrence this week, and
shows the perversity of human nature,
He who has the facilities for driving
prefers to walk, while he who could
much better prefer to walk and has no
team, goes and hires one, Men are
crazy to own a team, and it soon be-
comes bore to give the horse necessary

we presume always will be,-West-

Not long ago Professor BlacLie had oc-
casion to be in the Fair City-Perth. He
was waiting for a certain train, and was
marching up and down the platform
whistling gayly, and for all the world
like a schoolboy en- route home for his
holidays, A gentleman near by, at once
recognizing the picturesque figure and
wishing to enter into conversation with
him, went up to him and asked him:
Professor, may ask tho secret of
your happiness
The genial professor smiled and an
swered:
"Well, here is the secret of my happi-
ness; have no vain regrets for the past
look forward with hope to the future
and l always strive to do my duty
There he ended emphatically, "yol
have it," And he straightway set 10
and walked up and down again, whistling
as before. London Tit-Bits.
