COFFIN WAS A BACK NUMBER.
So Pennsylvania Man Sold II and VIII
Purchase Another:

Isaac Coffman of Hatton, Pa, has
sold coffin he made many years ago.
He sold it not because he felt he would
have no use for it, but because his
wife insisted that it was out Of date.
MIR. Coffman is nearing his eightieth
birthday. He explained to friend
that he constructed the coffin 20 years
ago. 1t was built Of chestnut because,
as he put it, "Many's the time | have
sat beside a CHEEKY blaze of chestnut
logs and heard them crackle and burn
merrily. 1t makes such a homelike
blaze that l picked it in preference to
other woods. It was my desire to
have the coffin as coy as possible,
and l rejected the frivolities which so
many persons affect in the matter Of
collins. In order to have it handy |
kept it in the garnet. But my wife
tells me that styles have changed, and
since | have accumulated a little for
tune she will not permit me to die I'M
less | consent to get an up-to-date
casket. To avoid trouble agreed to
sell the old one. But at the same
time | think that the coffin which was
good enough for me in my poorer
days should satisfy me now, and l
shall always feel out Of place in the
new-fang,ed AFFAIR"
