EXPENSIVE POPULARITY.
An indiana Singer who Resides in
ChicagO Has a Costly Prom
Use to Fulfil.

One of the best known singers of Chi
cago came from a city of $4,000 popula-
ton in Indiana, says the Chicago Jour
nal.
He had lived in the Hoosier town un-
til after he was of age, and was great
social as well as church favorite. His
tenor voice was soft and tender, and no
funeral of any prominent citizen was
held without his presence. Often, when
he made calls, the older women of the
city would make him promise that he
would sing at their funerals. He al
ways promised.
The tenor came to Chicago five years
ago, and by hard study made his way to
the front.
But now his promises are beginning
to count.
About once every two months he gets
a telegram announcing the death of
some old friend in the Indiana city
one at whose funeral he promised to
sing.
So the tenor packs his valise and goes.
So far he has always paid his own ex-
penses, but he hopes some day that
some wealthy resident of the Hoosier
place will remember him in last will
and testament.
