Undertakers are noted for their SYM
pathetic manners, just the ssme az men
in other occupations are noted for certain
other peculiarities. Sometimes there are
men in the buiness named whose warm
hearted nature lead them 10 smypathize
with all suffering and whose sypmathy 10
not at all matter of business. One OF
this latter class of funeral directors resides
in this part OF the city, His friends all
know how charitably disposed he Is, and
they will have no trouble in discovery OF
the victim OF this tale without the men,
tioning of any names. A short time ago,
after two days duties had been performed,
and he had retired to his home and to
sleep, he was awakened by young man
who had climbed the hill, who told, with
tears IN his eyes, a pitiful story of dy-
ing father and the need OF sl0. The
stranger said his mother was away in the
country and he was, with the exception
of kind neighbors, in sole charge OF his
very sick parent. The money was need
ed, il was claimed to get some necessi-
ties for the saddened home. The under
taker was promised il he would only loan
the $40 to the about-to- be orphaned child
the work OF burying the lamented father
would be his. The undertaken WAS over
come by the sau story and handed out the
money which was quickly taken. Then
the receiver OF the money gave the under,
the money WAS paid back. The watch
was one of those handsome appearing
and very handsomely adjusted timekeep-
ers that certain parties advertise to give
for s2. The undertaken found this fact
out few days after il was left with him,
but be told nobody about the transac-
ton, but at last he gave the watch to
friend and little by little the story got
out.
II is understood that the young man
worked the same game successfully on
two other undertakers of the city, but the
other North End undertakers were not
bitten.
