The same might apply to free funeral ting relatives. The house of mourning is frequently turned into a house of feast ing. fi is a common thing for persons to walk 8, 4 and 5 miles to a sale or funeral simply because a free dinoer is to be had, and the exhibition of gorging that some display and capacity for putting away “vittels” is astonishing. > ——— i THREE MONTHS OF TROUT FISH- NG.
