Con-stitution. Harry Armour, one of them, twenty-four years old, who committed suicide, left a note In which he ordered or-dered that he was to be buried in hunting costume, booted and spurred, with rlile In his arms and a plentiful supply of cartridges In his coffin. Then there was Colonel Samson of Hastings, who demanded that his corpse he dumped in the middle of the channel. We learn from the Dover Gazette that his funeral had at least the compensation compensa-tion of a "jolly trip on a bright, sunny day." In London, a young lady. Miss Edith Ko'l. aged twenty, asked that she be laid out In her best evening gown, with dancing shippers and a small gramophone In the casket. She personally selected a number of Jazz records, which were buried with her. All three expressed themselves believers believ-ers In the resurrection of the body. The lady Is the most original of all. Wnen that last morn comes, and Gabriel b'ows his trumpet, she wants to organize or-ganize a two-piece orchestra, no doubt. |
