THE pHoNoeRApH HEARse.
Berlin Young Woman Patents Plan for
Providing Funeral Notes.

Berlin.-A young woman Of Berlin
has filed a patent designed to fill a
want which has not SO far been keen
ly felt. She proposes to supply for
funerals the phonograph hearse-de-
signed perhaps to intensity the grief
Of the mourners.
The hearse is of the ordinary build.
but two megaphones are introduced as
part of the decoration. They are to
be situated at the forward upper an
giles. and being handsomely gilt, they
will serve In the first place as repre-.
sensations Of Gabriel's trumpet.
Under the drivers seat will be
placed the mechanism by which the
photograph will be controlled. The
choice Of the style of music and the
selections will depend on the be-
reaved relatives or the last wishes Of
the deceased. Those who prefer vocal
music can have hymns and dirges as
rendered by we'll trained quartettes
ground out as the hearse passes
through the streets to the cemetery.
Others If they choose may select fu-
neral marches as performed by brass
bands.
The inventor thinks there is great
future for her idea. The installation
OF the apparatus is relatively inexpen-
sive and she thinks people who want
to make their funerals impressive will
pay literally for the music.

that after that solemn event was con-
cluded it would be too late for the de-
parting mails. She seemed to have
no difficulty in composing her thoughts
and transferring them to paper There
were times when she would lean back,
nibble the end of her pen and smile
in dreamy, retrospective fashion. No
doubt her thoughts were pleasant and
agreeable.
She had completed addressing three
envelopes, when she heard the door
leading into the princess boudoir open
and close. She turned to behold the
princess herself.

Waiting for Mr.. Frohman.

said Miss Louise Closer, the actress,
II had a wild desire to go upon the
stage, so left school In Boston, came
to New York and went to Charles
Frohman's Office on Broadway.
"Ts Mr.. Frohman in?' asked Of
the Office boy.
"'No, he is not was the reply.
"'Well, thought. I'll wait until he

1.-THE boy became absorbed In the
book he was reading, and apparently
was quite unconscious of my presence.
Fifteen minutes passed; half hour
passed; and l grew weary of waiting.
But 1 thought of the long distance l
had come, and at the same time re-
called an old maxim I had once
learned: Reward comes through con-
stancy Of purpose I repeated this
again and again. until an hour and
half slowly dragged itself out. Finally
I could endure the waiting no longer.
With as much courage as I could COM
mand I addressed the office boy a Sec
ond time.
"'Will you kindly tell me when Mr..
Frohman will be in?' 4
"In six weeks answered the boy

Closer, when was member of Ar

We did not return to Muller's; each
Of us stole quietly home to await the
advent of the police. for they would
rout out every American in town in
their search for the man with the gun.
They would first visit the consulate
and ascertain what knew of the af-
1air; when they got through with the
rest OF the boys Max would be in Dop-
pelkinn. The police were going to be
very busy that night: a princess on
one hand and an anarchist on the
other.
There were terrible times, too, in
the palace. Long before we watched
Max's train and the vanishing green
and red lights at the end of 1t the
grand duke was having troubles OF his
own. He was pacing wildly up and
down in his dressing-room. Clutched

cut down our expenses"
What expenses?" she asked.
why, table expenses. For instance.
If had an automobile couldn't afford
to have chicken every Sunday"
She laughed.
why. you goose! If you had an
automobile you could run down
enough fowls to have chicken every
day. to say nothing of big turkeys and
nice roasting pigs. Why is it men
haven't any brains?"
And the next day he hustled around
to the nearest dealer and ordered q

In after years Hearn took mali

General Demand

Of the Well Informed of tho World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known

sanction for family use because its COM

wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-

on the merits of the laxative for its remark
