FUNERAL BEFORE DEATH

Funeral services for an old couple
who are still alive have just been
held at KOCH, Japan.
The man, who is the proprietor Of
a fashionable restaurant, and his
wife are both seventy, and it was
their desire that their funeral should
take place before their death.
A long cortege of "mourners"
left the KOCH park, and all the pro-
cedure of the funeral service &C
cording to Buddhist rites was car
risd out in regular order at the
Hongwan Temple.
After the service the couple en-
tertained many of their @mcurners"
at dinner, given to celebrate their
longevity. They believe that the
funeral" has given them new
lease of life.

BARNuM AND ADVERTISING

In his lecture on "The Art of
Money Getting" above all, Barnum
urged, advertise: SBut / say if a
man has got goods for sale and he
doesn't advertise them in some way,
the chances are that some day the
sheriff win do it for him." To
man who told him that he had adj
vertised three times and received no
good, Barnum said he replied: s'Sir,
advertising is like learning "a little
is dangerous thing. He claimed
that there was only one liquid a
man could use in excessive quanti-
ties without being swallowed up by
it, and that was printers Ink

DANCE IS PART or WEDDING
Norwegians Follow Up Ceremony With
Merrinent Marked by Queer
Old Sports.

There is nothing Norwegians
love as they love dancing. At q
wedding celebration three genera
lions often dance together, and the
bridegroom dances with each of his
bachelor friends. Then he is lifted
high upon their shoulders and they
run and jump with him over chairs
and stools, upon tables and chests,
out Of windows, through doors, says
the Detroit News.
After them run all the married
men present, except the two newly
made fathers-in-law. Then comes a
mad but good-natured scramble.
Each side married against unmar-
ried-fghts to secure the BRIDE
groom, the benedicts, of course, al
ways winning in the end.
When this is all over the bride
groom stands quietly among the
married men while the bride
dances off her crown" She ia
blindfolded and after a time lifts
the crown from her head and places
it upon the head Of any maiden she
can contriye to reach and securely
crown. The girl thus selected steps
into the center Of ring formed by
the celebrators, who sing: @shs
will be married next; she win be

Little Brown Mouse dearly loved a
story so he climbed up to the big
throne seat while White Spider sat in
her silvery thread house In corner

to coax the King into making her own

night fairies and they brought her
food and before the Princess slept
fairy messenger was on her way to
tell the King his child was In great

"The next day the fairies brought

WOULD SHUT MOUTHS OF
KNOCKERS AGAINST BLACK
BURNS KID BAND

There is a certain element in our
city who either through jealousy
or that spirit of persecution which
community seems to be making a
struggling effort to defeat the Black.
burn Kid Band which was organized
by Thurman Blackburn about the first
Of January.
Through some sort Of unfounded
sinuous rumors an impression seems
to have been broadcasted that Mr.
Blackburn is using these 30 boys for
the purpose Of personal gain and reap
ing a harvest for himself.
The facts are as we have been in
formed by the parties themselves:
Mr.. Blackburn has the keenest inter-
est in boys. knows their needs and is
willing to give his time in training
this band. giving them the benefit of
the best musical experience which he
has gained in qualified colleges Since
last December he has invoices to
show that he has personally purchas-
ed over $500 worth Of music which
the boys are permitted to use without
charge. He personally stood good for
the material and the making OF the
30 suits; he purchased several instru-
ments for boys which they have prom
Used to pay for as time goes on and
against whom he does not hold a
single note to show for the debt.
1t is true that he is giving private
lessons to some Of these boys who
wish to take them, and for these their
parents pay a reasonable fee. From
this money 50 received he pays for
building in which to hold the weekly
rehearsals.
The boys are delighted with their
work and their playing the past few
weeks speaks for itself. It is not
probable that one of these 30 boys
feels that he is being imposed upon or
would be willing to give up the work
under any circumstances.
There was a rumor on Monday that
the boys worked hard all day Satur-
day at the Missouri Day celebration
and did not receive one cent OF pay.
As matter OF fact they are to re-
ceive. II they have not already receiv-
ed, $500 each for the days work and
their expenses. Not one cent Of this
money received from this days work
or any to be given hereafter. is to
be handled or has been handled by
Mr. Blackburn. The band has for

Belgian Princess Tells How Hus-
 hand Was Saved From Grave

PARIS, Nov. 1.-Princess Louise of Belgium, in an interview in LeMatin said that she had many kindly offers of help at the time of the death of her consort, Count Msttachich, but that the most touching was from an American.
 "The day after the count died" the Princess said, "an American woman came here to my house.. She was so insistent that let her in"
 "'Madame,' she said. I have re- ceived a cablegram from America about you. There is 8 man over there who does not wish his name known but who has plumbed the depth of your woe. He telegraphed instructions to his Paris bankers and I bring you his offer. He wants you to put flowers for him on Count Mattachich's tomb and hopes that the rest of the sum will help you during the first day of your mourning.
 Well, 1t kept me for eight days. And it is because of gifts and pres ents that I still have roof over my head and that Mattachich was not borne in pauper's hearse to pau per's grave"
