passed the lynx-eyed motorman saw some
thing drop from her dress and fail directly
on the rail of the down track. 1t may be
supposed that the motorman, who was q
very innocent-looking youth, did not know
what IL was. AT any rate he stopped his
car and gesticulated wildly to the motor
man of the down car to stop also. Then ne
whistled and called to attract the attention
of the woman to the fact that she had lost
something. He was a conscientious motor
man. He did not propose to let the cars OF
Buffalo Railway Company run over prop
erty and destroy it if he could help it. A
gallant young man who was walking out
to take the car ran around the front and
picked up the object, which was the cause
of the motorman's solicitude. He did not
follow the loser to return it to her, how
ever. In fact. it would have been hard
work for him to have overtaken her, for as
soon as he had picked it up she rushed
around the nearest corner and was making
the best possible efforts to disappear.
The object was brown silk garter with
nickel buckle. Thus it happened that
one little garter bIockaded the whole
Buffalo streetcar system.-Buffalo Ex-

Mortuary Chestnuts.
A Topeka man OF a practical turn of
mind has made a will regulating bis own
funeral. A friend, who is a parson, is TO
come from distance and say PRAYER.
Another friend, who is not a parson, not
even a church member, is to make short
talk. Another friend, who is woman and
a sweet singer, is to request three musical
friends-another woman and two rnen-to
join her IN singing appropriate hymns,
while another friend, young fellow who
learned the keyboard while ION the road"
for a music-house, is to preside at the or
gan.
The undertaken is not to wear a plug hat,
or big diamond stud, or dressy Prince
Albert coat, or in any manner to appear as
if he had Snatched a moment from a ban
quet to bury the dead. He is to be modest
and humble, giving the corpse chance
for public attention--lts last chance. The
pallhearers are not to be labeled. They
will be distinguishable from the corpse by
the fact that they will be alive, and. their
duties will be understood without wearing
a printed sign. They must be good fell

and a man whose hands sweat is barred.
1t furnishes the handles of the coffin.
Grips and signs, swords. feathers and
bands are prohibited. The parson who
shall say the first prayer shall say the last,
and "sprigs of myrtle" or acacia" are for
hidden. The pail bearers are to line up
and witness the final closing of the grave.
All the funeral arrangements are to be in
charge of another friend, woman, who
shall comfort the family and see that
chunps keep away from the house; that
the brownies be not permitted to ''sit up
| with the corpse
She shall receive flowers, if any, friends
may bring in, return thanks for them in
writing and request the newspapers not to
call them floral offerings" She shall also
detach cards from these pretty remem-
biances and preserve them for the family.
The coffin, it shall not be called 'cas-
ket." must not wear the appearance of a
floral bargain-counter. That moss-grown
title head, "The Last Sad Rites" must not
appear over the newspaper accounts of the
funeral, and, having done this last kind
service in fairly good English and short
sentences, city editors are requested to
turn again their attention to life and the
beautiful world, leaving the dead man TO
make his own way across the dark river
Kansas City Star.
