There are two other odd and rather

this aristoorscy we do not have the
chance OF a lucky variety in types
which belongs to larger and looser
aristocracies. The moderately rich
include all kinds Of peoplN-even

times saints; and even soldiers are
sometimes heroes. Some doctors have
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not BY Gathering them;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer. But among the very rich

give their money away. but they will

When Marshal MacMahon was

incident occurred which aptly Illus

of a hill overlooking garrison town;
his horse was picketed close by; the

up half dozen tomato cans. These

HOW HE DoDeED THE ISSUE
Minister, Preaching Funeral Sermon
for Worthless Man, Talked Of
This Glorious Age.

One of the hardest things a minis
ter is called upon to do is to deliver
an address at the funeral Of man
for whom there Is really nothing good
to be said. Such moments OF embar-
rassment do occasionally arise. How
one parson tactfully COPIED with the
situation is thus reported in Human
Life:
The very worst man in a mining
camp not notorious for Its piety died
The fellow had been terribly bad. II
he lacked anything of total depravity,
none could recall any evidence of it.
He had been brutal and debauched
and debased in every way known to
mankind. When he died there was
a quandary as to what to do at his
funeral. He had been shot down In
his boots, in defense OF the very de-
cency Of the camp. A nonresident
minister was sent for. and was told
the awful truth about the deceased.
Didn't he have any good point?''
asked the minister.
MOT one"
Wasn't he even kind to a child
some timer
Never"
The minister was lost in thought 9
while; then he asked:
When Is the funeral to be?"
Tomorrow at three. VIII yot
preach?"
"Oh, yes!"
what in the world will you tall
about?"
II shall talk" said the minister "oi
the glorious age in which this NAL
lived"
