No Telllns When One May Need a Coffin.
"A man entered my salesroom some
time ago," recalled a St. Joseph under
taker, "that said that he wanted to
select a casket and shroud. I asked
Avhat size casket he Avanted and he
ansAvered: 'Well, you can measure me
if you Avant; I Avant the casket for
myself.' I Avas taken by surprise, and
he noticed it, but he appeared to tninu
that there was nothing unusual in
this request 'I am six feet tall,' he
said.
"Without further delay I began to
shoAV him our different caskets. He
was very particular about it they all
are and it took him about an hour
to choose what he Avanted. He then
selected a shroud and other necessities
and gave an order for four carriages.'

price and I told him $150. He paid
over the cash and I gave him a receipt
for his own funeral. That man Avas
