Yesterday heard sad story of q

blood in his veins and had always tried
to be a gentleman ON $500 per year.
He spelled the organ at Christ church
and wore coat that had illuminated ell
bows, and when he left the organ seat
he backed away so that no one should
see the rear breadths of his pantses. He
hoped to become great musician, and
Gince those days he has done so.
But in these times Of which I speak
he was poor. He ate little ham sand

that some one would ask him to drop
around and take family dinner.

NYE ON MOURNING.
HE TELLS OF SOME or THE USES II
MAY BE PUT TO.

A Letter From One Who Wants to Have
Some Fun-The Story of Musician Who
Took q Bath and Got Himself Disliked.
copyright. 1894, by Edgar w. Nye.l
It is very pleasant to know that a
strong effort is being made to secure,
through the efforts of the postmaster
general, a stamp for letter postage, to be
known as mourning stamp, to be used
on mourning stationery and to harmon
ize with the grief supposed to be con-
tanned in the letter itself.
The possibilities of mourning have new
er yet been fully worked out by any
means. We have mourning livery for
our coachmen and mourning rosettes
and harness for the horses, and even
though the team should kick up and feel
gay or the coachman get his skates on. to
use an alcoholic term, it is a joy and a
comfort to know that they have black
rosettes, etc., on them, and that they ex-
ternally mourn like everything.
A postage stamp with broad black
border and representing widow with
long black Grape veil, and other black
clothing from the skin out, and leaning
over a marble slab, a large weeping will
low forming the background, a pool Of
tears in the foreground rejecting the
sad face of the bereaved, while the Sec
ond husband may be seen concealed be-
hind the willow Though of course this
last will be hard to arrange successfully,
would be good design for a widows
stamp. The widower could have one
representing himself in the act of tearing
up the green grass in the cemetery or
oiling revolver to be ready for suicidal
purposes, while looking surreptitiously
through the picket fence at a female col
lege out for walk.
The great field of mourning evidences
has as yet hardly been touched. We
have mourning clothing, jewelry, livery
and harness, but even such glorious
possibility as mourning ice cream, pie
and watermelOns has never been given
any attention. l have even known black
haired widows to suddenly become
golden haired in the midst of their
mourning and put milk in their cafe
noir.
The time is coming when such things
will be termed vulgar.
Why should we show other evidences
of mourning and not paint our houses
black? Why doesn't some enterprising
florist grow variety of black flowers?
Why not muzzle the lark, and the thrush,
and the bobolink, and make them shut
up their glad songs? Why should the
green grass grow and the brook babble
on in the golden sun and enjoy itself?
There ought to be a way by which all
nature should be made to stop and pay
attention to our grief. Then it could
open up again when the period Of our
mourning is over, provided some one
else had not been bereaved in the mean
time.
A physician tells me that he has in
vented recently a sort of iron tincture,
to be used in cases of extreme grief,
which turns the whole inside of the
mourner black. This is s-rely a most
refined method of giving expression to
sorrow.
Sometimes, of course, the external and
visible signs of mourning do not betray
a bursting heart, but that is neither here
nor there.
l just received deeply bordered let
ter, with black seal of shoemaker's
wax on the back, and must admit that

water and towels, and no one ever
thought of being so rude as to say:
"Good morning. Have you used What's
his-name's soap?"
But one day the first soprano hurried
back to get her veil after choir practice,
and after that the poor organist was dis
charged.
He will not mind it now if he should
see his name here? He will not feel hurt
if I tell it? No.
Ortogga, for that was not his name,
was very, very neat and handsome, and
as a little child his mother used to like
to take his little dimpled carcass on her
bingham apron and polish him off with
a sponge and What's-his-name's soap.
Then afterward he grew to be the
child who was pictured in the magazine
as a Smelling's food child.
Later on, when he grew to be young
man, he was still neat and clean, and you
can still see his picture before and after
he used cutis-kura.
But he lost his place as the organist of
Christ church because he was so neat.
He had no good bathing facilities at his
hall bedroom, and so after the choir re-
hearsal on that warm spring afternoon,
when the soprano came back for her
veil, Ortogga had removed his 10 cents
worth of clothes and was taking swim
in the large baptismal tank under the
pulpit.
Kicking up his heels in the midst of
the cool baptistry and now and then
digging up from the bottom with his toes
a few old sins that had settled dow,
there. he seemed to give himself up to
general joy.
He was discharged, but years after
ward, when the soprano was his wife
and he was a great musician, he forgave
her for telling the pastor about it.
But Ortogga has hot and cold water in
his own house now, and he keeps dog
that eats more every day than an old
woman's home. He is greatly beloved
by every one, and you would never be-
lieve that he once bathed in the baptis-
try of Christ church and was betrayed
by the soprano.
When one is successful, we forget his
peculiarities of early life, but if he fails
Trousers is his name.
