' Gambling In Funerals.
A curious point was disclosed In
the House of Lords debate on the As
surance Companies bill. Lord St Ald-
wyo said that under the existing law
which had never been observed
policies to meet the funeral expenses
of a parent were Illegal.
There bad thus grown up, he said
a system under which collectors had
visited houses and persuaded women
to Insure a sum to cover the funeral
expenees of perftons in whom they
had no Insurable Interest The whole
thing was really a gamble.
Lord Hamilton, of Daleill (for the
government), aald that the position
both for policy-holdera and companies
mlr.ht be very unfortunate unless lee
Islatlon. took place such aa waa pro
posed. There was danger that some
thing like a panic, with disastrous re
suits, might ensue. The governmen
had been In communication with the
collecting societies and industrial as
surance companies, who, having har
a very great fright in ccjnsequence o'
recent legal decisions, undertook ma
tt the government got them out of th.
bole they found themselves in the;

THE CORPSE'S EXCURSION. '
Death la a Solemn Affair But So Is

Cal White atuck his head In through
the ticket window of Baiters Depot
railroad station and said:
"Boss, gimme two round trip tickets
to Society Hlllore for myrr-lf and
one fur a corpse."
"I never heard 67 nobody buying ex
enratnn tickets for corpses," said the
agent "What's the meaning?"
"Well, boss," Cal replied, "my broth
er Webster died yesterday, and I want
to take the corpse up to Society Hill
and let the family view the remains,
and then I'll bring him back to Salt
era Depot here and bury hint. That'll
a big eight cheaper than for the
whole family to traipse all the way
from Society Hill and all the way
back again."
A Real Bargain.
"Have you Hlke'a Baking Pow
der?" Inquired the female bargain-
fiend.
No, madam," answered the wily
grocery clerk; "but we have Bike's,
which Is JuBt aa good, but costs thir
teen cents more, and contains a cou
pon, which, when presented with 9,999
similar coupons, entitles the holder to
one guess at the number of minutes
from now until the end of the world,
the one coming nearest to a correct
solution being rewarded with a certi
ficate good for one year'a subscription
to 'The Cookladlea' and. Laundry-
maids' Gazette, ';' when accompanied
by 39 cents In cash."
She bought Bike' and went away
perfectly happy.
Disenchanted.
"Yes," she admitted, with a aad lit
tle algh, "there was a time when I
thought him the grandest man In the
world when I thought that nothing
could ever make me cease to love
him."
Well," her friend replied, "I sup
pose we are all doomed to these dis
enchanting experlencea. We have
only to become acquainted with a man
to discover that he Is not the god we
have supposed him to be."
"But It wasn't becoming acquainted
with him that destroyed my Ideal. I
am sure that I could still think blm
splendid If I had never seen htm In
riding-breeches!"
Got Them Mixed.
There is an amusing story In which
John Hay, Bret Harte and Mrs.
Humphrey Ward figure. Mrs. Ward
had never met Bret Harte before, but
had read "Little Breeches," and sup
posed Bret Harte waa Its author. Hay,
while ambassador to England, Intro
duced Harte to Mrs. Ward. "I am so
glad to meet yo Mr. Harte," said)
ahe. "For a long time I have known
and admired your 'Little Breeches.'"
Harte looked at Hay; Hay looked at
Harte. Then the latter aald: "I beg
your pardon, Mrs. Ward, but you
have put the 'Little Breeches' on the
wrong jnaa."
THE MISTRESS' OBJECTION.
'Mary, after the week la out I
