The extra penny you have been pay

An Honest Obituary.

From the Marquette Tribune.
Frank Waller was a unique charac-
ter. An honest comment is difficult
to make in a newspaper. We do not
want to say an unkind thing about
him. He put nothing into this world,
and got nothing out of it. His hoard
ed wealth brought him an early grave,
and he could take none of it with him.
He was honest as he saw honesty,
obeyed the laws of the land when it
cost him nothing, neighbored with
no one, got all he could. and kept all
he got. His uppermost philosophy OF
life was false one-that is, that
man with money in his pocket must
of necessity have friends and happi-
ness. He contracted no debts, gave
nothing to charity or public enter
