Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1903-11-19

A Greek died in the small town Of
Caracal, having always lived on the
aims of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat
which he Wore every day. The poor
woman had to ask the Greeks of
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
Of the funeral. A good hearted Greek
went to see her in her affliction and,
pointing to. the body, said he would
give her better coat to bury the man
in. Then she told him of the dead
mans last wish. The Greek, whose
suspicious were awakened. told her
that she should certainly not part with
the BODY before she had well examined
the coat, for there must be some par
ticular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining ef@the over
coat and found $4,000 francs in bank
notes which the miser wished TO take
into the grave with him.
