QUEER REQUESTS
Man Buried Upside Down-Believed
Heaven Was Underground

From Tit-Bits.
On Box Hill, in Surrey, may be seen
the tomb of a man who was by his own
special request, buried upside down in a
coffin placed in marble casing. With
his head to the earth and his feet to the
sky, he calmly awaits the Judgment Day.
so the story runs, in the belief that heav-
en- is under the ground. and that, believ-
ing this, it was his duty to be buried
with his head towards it.
Not so very long ago there died, in the
North of England, a farmer who left in
structions that his body should be put
into a coffin, and then placed in the loft
of one of the barns on the farm premises.
1t was done, and win probably remain
there for generations.
One is always hearing of the cobbler
whose dying wish is that his tools shall be
buried with him; of the old navy PEN
sioner who desires to be put to rest In
| the uniform in which he once strutted
about so proudly of the shoeblack (and
| this happened in London quite recently
who said he should not rest content
We're the emblems of the trade he fol-
| lowed not buried with him.
| One of the strangest requests on record
was in connection with a basketmaker in
Lancashire town. Instead of the Or
binary wooden coffin. he asked that one
made by his work people in his own shop
should take its place. Accordingly it
was done, and never has man gone to his
grave in stranger coffin-one made OF
light wicker-work
Not many years ago there was in Mex
leo a character who was known as d
bad man. There was only one redeem
ing side to the mans character, and that
was his passionate love for the horse his
always bestrode. When he died--he was
shot in brawl-there was found on him
a document asking that whenever his de-
mise should take place, his horse should
been my only pal in life he wrote "let
been my only pal in life he wrote let
him be buried with me and be my COM
panion in death.' And the mans friends
did as he requested and the monument
they erected with short description OF
the episode figuring on it may be seen to
this day. In our opinion he was not a
very bad MAJ" after ALL No man is
really past redemption who has in his
heart passionate love of dumb animals.
