AN UNDERTAKER'S DILEMMA.
He Wanted to Pawn n Casket to Bar
m Shroud.
' "I have bad many queer experiences
in my business," said a pawnbroker
whose three gilt balls hang in the vi
cinity of Twelfth street and Columbia
avenue, says the Philadelphia Record,
"but I ran up against something the
other day that simply took my breath
away. A man very shabbily dressed
in black, and looking like a broken
down minister, came into the private
office and asked to see the proprietor.
I went out to him. 'I'm an undertaker,'
said he, 'and I want you to help me out
of a difficulty. You can do it without
any risk to yourself if' you want to.
I may as well confess to you that busi
ness is pretty bad with me, but I've got
a case now which will pay me well, if.
I can only carry it through. I just need
a little money to do so. You see, I've
failed in my business several times,
and it's pretty hard for me to get credit,
but. 'Well, well, hurry up,' I inter
rupted. 'What do you want me to do?
'I'm coming to that now, said he; 'I
was going to say that I managed to pre
vail on the cabinetmaker to give me a
casket on time, so I've got that all right.
But the relatives of the deceased re
fuse to advance me any money until
I've supplied the shroud. I haven't got
a cent, and the funeral is fixed for to
day. Now, I want you to take the cas
ket with its silver trimmings as a
pledge, and give me enough money on
it to buy a shroud. Then, you see, I
can get enough from the bereaved fami
ly to redeem the casket in time for the
funeral. What do you say?' I told him,
after I had recovered my breath, that
I couldn't think of such a thing, and he
went away very despondent. I don't
know how he got out of his difficulty,
or whether the deceased has been
buried yet."
DIGNITY DIDN'T PAY.
'A Potmater Who Licked on Stamps
: When Requested.
f The post office at Grass Valley was
tot the back end ot a "general" store,
end the postmaster, who was-also the
proprietor of the store, says the Detroit
Tree Press,, was weighing me out some
tobacco, when a solid, middle-aged wom
an came and slammed a two-cent piece
down on the counter and exclaimed:
"Stamp two-centerf"
' The postmaster handed her one, but
she waved it away and pitched a letter
at his head and said: j
. "Lick er on." I
f He promptly and humbly obeyed,
find as the woman walked away, I
asked :
"Don't people out this way lick on
itheir own postage stamps?"
t "Yes, most of 'em, but that woman
is rather particular, and I don't want
to take chances again,"
. I "Chances on what?"
t "Well she came in here about six
months ago for the first time, and
bought a stamp and commanded me to
lick.' I laid back on. my dignity and
refused, and she turned- around and
lucked the head out of a bar'l of N. O.
molasses acid I lost about $11 by the
(operation. As my salary as postmaster
5s only $23 a year I can't take no more
chanceB."
HEIR TO THE TH30NE.
How Prince VU-torla Was Told of
Her Chnnrc of Succession.
Many interesting stories of the "Girl
hood Days of England's Queen" are told
in an article in St. Xicholas, written by
James Cassidy. Mr. Cassity quotes the!
following' from a letter written to the
queen by hex former governess, Bar
oness Lehzen: .-
I ask your majesty leave to cite some
remarkable words of your majesty
when only 12 years old, while the re
gency bill was still in progress. I then
said to the duchess of Kent that now
for the first time your majesty ought to
know your place in the succession. Her
royal highness agreed with me, and I
put the genealogical table into the his-
torical hook. When Dr. Daws fthe in-
structor of the princess and afterwards
bishop of Peterborough) was gone, the
princess again opened the book, as
usual, and, noticing the additional pa
per, said: "I never saw that before."
"It was not thought necessary, you
should, princess," I answered.
"I see I am nearer the throne than,
I thought."
v "So it ia. madam." I said.
finger of her little hand saying: "I will
be good, dear Lehzen, I will be good,"
I then said: "But your Aunt Adelaide
is still young-, ami may have children;
and, of course, they will ascend the
throne after their father William IV.,
and not you, princess."
The princess answered: "And, if that
were so, I should never feel disappoint
ed, for I know, by the love Aunt Ade
laide bears for me, how fond she is of
children."
ANCIENT SUICIDES.
A Helnooi Crime, and Indian! tie
Were Heaped Upon the Rodieaw '
Among the early Greeks suicide was
uncommon until they became contam
inated by Roman influence, says a
(Writer in Lippincott's. Their religious
leaching, unlike that of their Asiatic
contemporaries, was strongly opposed
to self-destruction. While a pure and:
manly nation, they regarded it as a
heinous crime, and laws existed which
heaped indignity upon the body of the
suicide. By an Athenian law the corpse
was not .buried until after sunset, and
the hand which hadi done the. deedi
presumably the right hand' was cut
off and buried separately, as having
been a traitor to its owner.
The only suicides ever spoken of with
respect, or anything approaching com
mendation, by the early fireeks, were
those of a purely patriotic character,
like those of Themistocles and King1
Codrus, both of whom were considered
patriots. The latter, when the Her
aclidae invaded Attica, went down dis
guised among the enemy with the in
tention of getting slain, and; hav
ing picked a- quarrel with some
soldiers, succeeded in his object. The
reason for this act was that the oracle
had pronounced that the leader of the
conquering army must, fall; and the
king sacrificed his life in order that his
troops might be victorious and his
country saved. Themistocles is said
to have committed suicide rather than
lead the Persians against his own peo
pie. - . 4
HE KNEW WHO WORE SOCKS.
Clever Trick Played on a' German
General by a Subaltern Ofilcer.
Under orders existing some time ago,
men in the German army, wore at will
either socks or fuszlappcn (a species of
bandage) on their feet. During an in
spection, relates the San Francisco
Argonaut, a certain general asked a
subaltern officer what his men wore on
their feet. He replied that some wore
socks and some lappen about 70 per
cent, socks. The general further asked
him if he knew what each individual
wore. He was answered promptly in
the affirmative. : "What." said the gen
eral, pointing to a man in the- ranks,
"does this man wear?" "Socks," was
the response; and on the m;in taking
off a boot on the general's order, a
sock was found to incase the foot. The
same test applied in several cases pro-
ducedi the same result. The general
was highly impressed with the inti-
mate knowledge of detail displayed by
fthe subaltern, but the lad disclosed
subsequently to his brother officers the
simple device which procured him such.
Jtuoos rlis men, by his order, had1 all
a sock on one foot and a fuszlappen on
the other. They were instructed to
note carefully the answer given by their
officer, and to remove the boot which,
would disclose a verification of his as
sertion. Balloon Accidents.
"The cause of so many balloon acci
dents," says AeronaufWilliam Kendall,
of Philadelphia, "lies in the fact that
the beginner doesn't realize -what a del
icate piece of mechanism a balloon is,
and after having been em ploy edt about a
Iballoon outfit for one season he imag
ines he knows it all. Thesetpeople man
age to get a balloon, usually ' an old,
,weather-eaten affair, and then secure
an engagement at some amusement,
ipark. Statistics show that nine out of
every ten, such aeronauts meet with ac
cidents. In one week seven parachute
leapers were injured, some fatally, and
during the season of 1896 no less than 47
aeronauts were killed. And in nine
pases out of ten it is all because' they
haven't mastered the intricacies of
itheir profession."
