The little town of -SognG,
France, saw very popular funerai
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 instrnc-
lions in her will to distribute a small
sum to each person who should see
her buried, at the gates of the Gene
terry after the ceremony. For this
purpose she collected 100 fve-penny
pieces, and also set apart $50 for the
funeral music accompanying her
hearse These stipulations were scru-
puously carried out, and after being
played into the cemetery with all the
famous dead marches, the mourners
INDUCED in such a contest for the
small coins at the gate that strong
force of police, gathered in anticlpa'

SeIf.ReIief the KEY to Success.

lost is little lost; friends lost, much
lost; but self.respect lost, and all Is
lost. Self,belief is the husband of self
