"Well, I thought I had been in
some fine and modern funeral es-
tablishments,' said Charlie as they
walked back to the main reception
room, "but this is really 4 well ap-
pointed home and 4 credit to any
city, isn't it?'
Il thought you would like it,"
replied Henry. Mr.. Bridgman, with
his 20 years experience, knew how
to establish a funeral home here
that would be a credit to the city
and they are considered by every
body to be the best funeral direc-
tors here, and have the finest equip
mcnt in the county. Many of the
leading families employ their sery-
ices when a sad event occurs, and
since they have been in business
here | know they have directed the
burial of more prominent folks than
any other directors in this part of
the country, for the new innovations
they have inaugurated, eliminating
many OF the gruesomc, unpleasant
features so long in vogue, have
won them many friends and their
business is steadily growing.
"Ardmore has a right 20 be mighty
proud of Brown & Bridgman's 5
modern funeral home said Henry,
as thanking Mr.. Bridgman for his
courtesy, they entered the auto and
drove away. For it is thoroughly
modern in every respect. Then
they operate their own private
double-dcck auto hcarsc, auto wag-
on and autos for mourners, having
the finest motor equipment here, for
they have every modern idea in
practice that is connected with a
correct formal private burial
"Mr. Bridgman was telling me the
other day. laughed uncle, about a
boy here in Ardmore named Tom
my, who had been invited to dine at
a learned professors house, and his
mother was anxious for her son to
be on his good behavior at the
table, She gave him elaborate in

"Well, Tommy, how did you get
on? she asked on his return. you
are quite sure you didn't do any
thing impolitc|
well, no, ma-at least nothing
to speak Of
The mothers curiosity wa.

"'Ah, then, tell me about it, Tom
my.
"'Oh, it wasn't much. You see

slipped off the plate to the floor
"'Oh, my dear boy, whatever die
you do?'
81 just said sort of carelessly
that's always the way with tougl
meat and went on with my din
ner."

! Broadway after bidding good-da,
to Mr.. Bridgman, when Nellie an,
were married, | was many day
trying to think OF a suitable presen
for her wedding gift. l gave he
a nice set of furs."
That was all right, SON. replie,
uncle, "only you weren't quite up
to-datc.'
"How's that?" he inquired.
"Why in these modern day.
with steam roads, electricity, auto
and elevators, all on the lookou
for a human victim, it's only fai

have some financial protection, don
you think"

"EXactly,' replied Henry. 81 hard

After meeting Messrs. Comegy
, and Kessler, their genial speci;
agents, it took but a few moment
for Charlie TO make out his applic;

Comegys that as soon as the triflin
