be festooned with white. If an older
person is to be buried the funeral
hangings will be black. Inside the car,
just back of the motorman, a bier will
occupy one side. Opposite this are
to be seats for the minister and pail
bearers. The mourners will sit along
the sides of the car. Friends will sit
in the cars, also black, that will take
the place Of trailers. The car in which
the body is carried will have suitable
entrance arranged to admit the coffin
to the forward end Funeral parties
may charter train with almost any

J. Frank Hanley, from the ninth
Indiana district, Is the log-cabin man
of the ffty-fourth. He was bora
thirty-two years ago amid the forests
Of Champaign county. This was a
sparGely settled section, and his par
ents were very poor They had no
neighhors nearer than four miles.
When six years old his father pur-
chased a History of the Civil War,
and from this the boy learned to read.
Poverty and an invalid father called
upon Frank at the age OF twelve to
help the mother earn the living. 70
add to misfortune this mother became
blind when the boy was but fourteen
years old, and thus the entire support
Of the family was thrown upon him.
He sawed wood for a living, taught
school and finally entered upon the
practice of law, which in time yielded
him a good income. He married when
eighteen and has served in the lndi-
