All stories of verdicts of coroners' Juries
sre of one type, and each la a variation
on some other story that the reader
knows. With this apology we print one
that is going the rounds of the English
press. The coroner had directed the Jury
to find a verdict of felo-de-se. "Well,
chaps." said the foreman of the Jury when
they had retired to consider the verdict. 'It
appears to me that this 'ere chap shot
'i.self with a run. after shootln' another
chap with a gun. but Dr. Jones, the cor.
oner, who we all know and Mghly respect,

Funeral contracts are a new idea which
a ChicagOi company ta setting before the
ublia It contracts to bury perseas and
ths funeral expenses are paid on the in
stallment plan. It has six different con
tracts, ranging from M to $3u0- The
method of doing business Is ths same as
any Installment house; that Is, one makes
a small payment at the time the contract
is entered into, and then pays so much a
month, $1 to $6, according to ths price of
the funeral desired.
For Instance, if one desires a $50 funeral
he pays $1 down and $1 a month for forty
eight consecutive months. At the time of
the funeral the last payment is paid.
While the monthly Installments are being
paid, if the holder of the contract dies, he
and his friends are released from further
payment.
"Hie company's contract covers all ages
; from I to 65 years. A contract was made
recently for a $76 funeral with a man who
said he had never been 111 a day In his
life. Forty-eight hours sfter the contract
was entered Into he died of pneumonia.
