public are always on HIM and in

He never has to resort to articles to
attain business.
A good joke went the rounds on
our successful Funeral Director
few weeks ago He was called by
phone early one morning, two
months ago. and when he arrived at
the place instead of finding man
cold in death, the gentleman was
quite alive and proceeded to inform
Mr.. Johnson that he intended dying
soon, that he had prepared spiritual.

And now" said he, 81 want to tell
you what | want you to CO. Instead
If grief, the small assembly was soon
laughing by the wit of the jovial I'm
dertaker, who advised the gentle
| man to continue to live as long as he
could, After two months the gentle
man died and as requested, Mr. John
son carried out his wishes and gave
him a beautiful funeral Monday
morning from his residence on 10
Johnston avenue, and strange to say,
his name was Mr.. Joseph Johnson.
Mr. Johnson informs the Globe
man, that it is not an uncommon
thing for people to either advise him
in person or have it distinctly under
stood that they want him to conduct
their funeral.
Last week Mr.. James D. Thompson
was at Mr.. Johnson's Office and in
complimenting him on the excellent
services rendered in the case of his
daughter, who died only a week OF
so ago, said that when | die | want
you to come and take charge Of me-
In three days after the conversation
after he had gone to the cemetery
and visited the remains of his daugh
ter in the vault, Mr.. Thompson came
home and died, the funeral takins
place Tuesday afternoon.
Following the personal request o
Mrs. Parham and Mrs. Battle, whose
deaths occurred about enc weel

they wouldn't come, but the secretary
said they would, and with commit
tee of members called personally on
the saloon men in the city and invit-

On Sunday afternoon they came out
in force and packed the assembly
hall. They came in as though they
felt somewhat out of place. It was
an audience, the like OF which had
never assembled in that hall before.
Some had been Sunday school and
church boys in their youth and had
not forgotten it. The hymns were
pitched to popular tunes, still the
singing dragged until the leaders sug-
gested that the men whistle the airs.
Then they easily joined in and felt at
home.

1t may be that there Is no such
thing as thriller season and
that in the spring there is no
greater activity in the thriller fac
tories than at any other season,
yet 1t is fact that an astonish-

thnlling OF spectators are being
uncovered.
To be sure. Coney Island is pre-
pairing for its gay period and Bar
nuns Circus Is an even nearer
eventuality. But these do not eX-
plain altogether the fertility Of
the thriller factories. From all
parts of the world come records
of strange devices for pricking
the pampered appetites of show
goers.
