Show A Little Doubtful. The veteran undertaker was discussing dis-cussing some of his experiences with his young assistant. When I . was young in the business," he said, "a drunken man came into the office about 9 o'clock. He couldn't walk straight, but he was very loquacious. He lived in the country and wanted to take a casket out with him for his wife,' who had died the night before. I told him I needed the measurements of the body to give him a casket of the proper size. He pulled himself up with a great deal of dignity, grand--ly waved me off with his right hand, and said thickly: "I made all measurements 'fore I came down. I know measurements and I want a casket five foot ten or ten foot five and I'll be jiggered if I know which." - |
