HUNTED BY DANIIES ,
At the close of a pleasant day a party
f sportsmen wore alttiug about the door
f n anbstantlal farmhouse , chatting with
ur host , a sturdy specimen of manhood ,
whoso winter of Ufa was frosty , bnt kind-
Ono of the patty had started on the
lormon question , whoa another , paini
ng nt the old mm , slid : "Adams was n
ilonoor Mormon , nnd can toll you nil
bontlt. Ask him why ho apostatized"
So ooonor suggested than acted upon ,
nd old John , nmlllng good hnmorodly ,
elated the following :
"Ya-as , I have been a saint. I wont
o Utah In ' 48 , and tralk't most of the
way. Yo see , I was a young fellor then ,
an' lied a good farm an' a purty wife , who
laia't got over being purty jot , tor my
way o' thinkln * . My heart was jlat tied
up In her , an * I work't airly and
ate for us both , and wo was happy an'
omt'tablc ' when ouo o' them Mormon
mishonors cum along , an' he wui ; | the
llckoat talklu' coon ye Ivor hcord , an , ho
nit up at my hoas9. Ho didn't have pas
icr scrip ; but that wa-ant nothin' ; tear
var dum few as cum trompln' along thar
n thorn days as did her much of ony-
hiu' . I turn 'em In all a-aamo an wo gin
tin what wo had.
Tills fellor said ho was a saint o' the
iord , and ha wanted to preach the gospil
n our uarts , kaso thnr'a wlur his mlshnn
wag. I didn't have no scruples wal ,
val , ye'know how women Is about preach-
era sliu said lot him stay , an * ho stopped
along thnr for nigh on to a month , a-
ireachin' an' a-telling about the gloreos
> ' /Aon an' the bliaa o' the kingdom , an'
ill elch stuil till he got the wlminiu mos'
razy ,
INOW , I wun't s y bnt how 1 wai sort
o' taken In'ith the doctrine mysulf ; any
ray I was tikou in en' dun for on the
klormon question. I was convarlod.
Jut I'll say this 'ore , as how my wife
done as much torts It a * the miununor.
'ho gi'on right In to the doctiino , an'
ho usot to talk to mo about bcin" one o'
the Lord's choaon , an' a goin * with Jo
seph , an' Hyrum 'an the rest of the
saints , right along on the trail to glory.
30 I sold out the farm for each , and
Holly an" mo wo moved over into Nau-
voo , wnar wo bad to go through the on
dowmcnt business , kasa wp wa-an't mar
iod fur time and eternity in the world.
Gents , you mayn't think It , bnt my ole
oman was just too pretty fur onythlng
n them days. She'd brown , shiny hair ,
an' great , big hazel eyes , red cheeks an'
a little moutn as was just a liven' kiss ,
and thar wa-an't nothing that could beat
ler on shape , nnther. I just loved that
pal , for she wa-an't much more'n a gal
then. "
The old man looked arountlto BOB if hh
"olo 'oman" had heard
hls-praiseful rtm-
nlsionsoa , bnt that comely diime had dls-
appeared , early In the course of the story ,
and if within hearing , was not in sight ,
so , after draining a mug of elder , Adams
) rocoedcd :
I don't suppoeo that's any use of goin'
> vor the Nanvco biznla. No two he's
ver tolo It the same. Euy way , Joseph
m' Hyrum waa killed at Carthage an'
very thin" was In mix till Brlgham
Young touk holt , and then things jumped
lust to "Winter Quarters" and tnon to
Lilt Lake. The story's bin tolt often.
Did iver ony wan of ye dtivo an ox team
about a thonnant or twelve hundret
loB ? My Molly , my purty Molly , got
[ > aeket an' the color irint onten her
cheoke , an * her eyes war dull , an * her
mouth , that sweet little mouth , got
drawee ! at the corners , an'sad , an' her
liar were sun-tanned an' faded an' she gel
so o' careless In her drcts , cummin' o'
llvin * in a wagon so long , an' then , ye
ace , goats , tto WBF oxpectin' a babby. I !
war hard on Molly. I sort o' think ]
cared more for her jlsi then'n I Ivor
did.
Sometimes she'd cum out an * waltz
along side me , bii' she'd talk about the
ole farm an * ole times , won wo was a-
cenrtln' , an' her v'lco ' 'd git tort o' sad an
m'nfnl , an' her eyes 'd look jiat as the
she didn't see nuthln' nnr nobody , al
wet with big tears , but she wouldn't , cry.
An' won we'd atop at nights ahe'dcome
an' sit in my arms an' put her head on
my shoulder an' cry out so weak an' piti
ful : "Oh , John ! ain't wo never goin' to
git thar ? "
Wal , wen wo war In the Rockies the
babby cum , an' I tho't at how 'd bo
comfoit to Molly , but It didn't stay long
poor little girl 1 an' I burled It in a plu s
ant grotn valley war wo left it , as Molly
said , to bo taken care of by Him as call
the little children to Him.
Fiu'ly wo got to Salt Lake , an' I lof
Molly thsr to git rested on' wen up
no'tbards an1 tuk up some land an' arte
four or five montba 1 got things in shape

"Wall , the Jan' give good craps , an' my

wouldn't a tolt her for a good bit. Ye

It don't raako any difference what It

THE FASHION IN FUNERA.LJ3.
Short Evening Services , Amid Hlmplo
I'jlcgnnce , the Form.
Now York World.
Custom changes in the disposition of
the dead ap in everything else. There la
now what is recognized as a fashion for
funerals. Public funerals have alwfys
constated of pomp , parade and splendor ,
it is in the funeral of private persons
hat society hai laid down rules defining
the proper form. There Is no longer
any silting up with the corpse. This la
an old custom and ii still In vogue in the
remote rural districts No end of en
gagement have been made or marriages
) rought about by sitting np with the
corpsa. 1 ho real snbatanlitl reason for
'watching" is to BOO to the attentions
hat the body requires. Bodies novcr
uacd to bo put on ice or embalmed
n the country. They were laid out
on a board in a cold room and cloths
dampened with a solution were put on
.ho . face to prevent discoloration. The
undertaker now take a charge soon after
death , and the body Is In his hands until
put In the gravo. As a sanitary measure
t Is placed In au ( co-box or Is embalmed.
Privacy , but elegance withal whore it can
b3 afforded , has grown to distinguish fu-
lerals In New York. The recent changes
In tbo habits have been groat. The an
nouncements In the newspapers generally
mvo the add ! ion : 'Tho funeral will bo
jnvate , " "Friends are Invitid , " or ,
"Please send no flowers.1' Despite thtsa
seeming efforts at simplicityfiinerala have
) ocomo fearfully expensive tliinca. Fra-
qnently private fnnerals coat $800 and
Sl.OOO. The bill for a fashionable fu
neral with the burial in Woodlawn figures
up as follows :
Casket $350 Undertaker's at-
Haodloa 50 tendance . . . .5 60

The charged for tbo bnrial place In
Woodlawn are not included in thla table.
If In addition to the porter * there -wore
pall-bearers , there would ba § 3 par pair
for gloves and $7 GO each for ecatfa for
eight of them. If the body la embalmed
tha charge IB g2u. The office of the
pall-bearers la seldom filled In private
tunorala. Porter * carry the coflin. There
la a charge for chairs when used. The
fashionable hour for the fnnoral eorvics
la 8 o'clock In the evening. The body
renosoa In a casket on a catafalque lu
the parlor , generally against the
wall on ono uido of the room ,
Tno blinds are closed and the shades arn
tightly drawn. The gas is only partially
turrud on and the globei are often
draped to soften the light , Flowers reat
OB the foot of tha c kot and a broken
column , an anchor , or some other floral
device stands at the head. The family
and friends ait in the room , The minis
ter roads the simple aorvioo of the dead
and at the onnclueion often prayer with
out passing a eulogy. Tno quartet , in
the intervals und ut the termination of
the service , alng from the landlngjabovo
in the hall. The friends , when all is
over , take a last look at the face and de
part. Onl ; an hour is occupied. In the
mornlrg the family alone go to the grave
with the body.
An evening aervica in the parlor of t
ptivato residence la weird and am
strangely Improulva. There are funeral. )
where every reasonable provision U madi
that cost only $20. In snob a case the
coflin is a white wood stained in Imitation
of walnut. Metallic cofllaa are little em
ployed. A wooden casket is used , covered
erod with black broadcloth nd irlmmet
with black Bilk velvet Barlala In Now
York City are not permitted unless th
casket ia enclosed in a zinc box hermeti
cally sealed , Tola ii for a eanitnrj
reason ,
Every chaic'i hai a sexton. The en ,
written law of the church la that the
members ahall call in the sexton to can.

Great difficulty ( a often encountered in
nduclng the mas tots of tpmo ships to take
> odlea on board. This is on account of
ho superstition of the sailors , who
would desert If they know of tbo
> roaonco of a body In the ship. A body
hat was to go to the West Indies was
hipped lu a piano box n short tlmo ago.
? ho aailora did not know of the Impost'
Ion practiced on them , and sing "Heave ,
10 ! " aa cheerily when moving the box as
f handling a hogshead of molasses. A
body that came from Jamaica wai con.
coaled In rv barrel of rum. The rnm
iCted as a presort atlvo , and the body was
n n perfect state of preservation when it
irrlvcd hero. The sailors would not have
ouchcd the barrel If they had know n
what it cDnUinoJ. As it wnj , thry
towed it In the hold with the other
) rrels unconscious of its true contents.
Probably the largest corpse any under-
akor in Now York over handled was that
of a man who died in Hudson street. Ho
volghod GOO pounds. Ho had to bo
measured for a coffin , which was made of
chestnut and covered with black cloth. It
was six feet long , twenty inches deep and
hlrty-tlx inches wldo.

With long and pious face ,

Might fallow him to grace.
