The little town of Isle-sur-Sogne,
France, saw a very popular funeral
recently when the remains of an old
maid. scarcely known except to her
immediate neighbors, were escorted
to the cemetery by nearly one thou
sand mourners. The story had gone
abroad that the old lady left instruc-
lions in her will to distribute small
sum to each person who should see
her buried, at the gates of the ceme-
terry after the ceremony. For this
purpose she collected 100 flve-penny
pieces, and also set apart 500 for the
funeral music accompanying her
hearse. These stipulations we're scru-
pulously carried out, and after being
played into the cemetery with all the
famous dead marches, the mourners
