RAGTIME AT HIS FUNERAL
Louisville Barber Provides Funds to
Make 1t Occasion Of JOLLY
and Feastlng.

Basing his belief ON the argument,
'~The only weeping that should be done
owe q man should be twept at his
BIRTH" Frederick G.. Burghardt, bar
Der, living at 211 South Shelby street,
has made his will, wherein he provides
funds for the hiring of a brass band to
play only ragtime tunes at his funeral,
another sum of money for the serving
OF a lunch and accompanying drinks,
and an additional sum for his under
taker, who Is to place him face down
in the casket that "he may rest COM
fortably." His body he wants covered
with hyacinths and rosebuds.
B%urghardt does not look upon the
pro visions Of his will as being humor-
ous. On the contrary he declares he
is so serious that he has frustrated the
secretary of the BARRIERS Aid TO set
aside the benefits accruing to him
from that organization for the pur-
poses outlined. Asked for the rea-
son for his unusual desires, he said:
81 don't see anything unusual about
them. A will, as / understand 1t, gem
orally Is the last wish of a man, and
IL I cannot do as / wish, what ia the
use of making a Will?
"For a number of years before be-
coming a barber" he continued, II was
employed by undertakers. I saw so
many dead persons that I became hard
ened. I wondered why people cried at
funerals, for / always have insisted
that as we do~t know whether the
dead person is y ybpy or otherwise, his
friends should not cry over him. /
have Witnessed the passing of fourteen
members of my family and while my
feelings were sorrowful, not q tear
have I shed. In fact, I cannot recall
the time when I did cry. / have no
one in the world to whom I should
leave my little insurance money and

cpcCIuk W INC Tb@
Keyport, March 22:-The sudden
disappearance of Myrtle, the four
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Terry, of Warren street,
Wednesday afternoon about 2
O'Clock caused a great deal of excite
ment In the neighborhood. Little
Myrtle was found in the evening
wandering around the streets of
Matawan all alone by officer John
Mulsoff, who took the child in
charge and, after questioning her, at
once telephoned the father. Mr..
Terry took the first trolley to Mata-
wan and brought the child back to
the arms of her anxious mother.
The child, when asked why she
ran away from home, could only say
she went for a walk and became lost
could not find her way back and had
kept on walking until found by the
officer. During the afternoon and
early evening neighbors and friends
of the family advanced theories that
the child had been kidnapped, or
had wandered to the shore and had
fallen in the water.
