Show Making Hades Easy. Strange wishei are sometimes expressed ex-pressed by those at the point of death, to ease their last moments, but few probably have been more strange than that of the son of Krin to whom Rev. Ir. Floyd W. Tompkins told a short time ago in an afternoon speech: "Pat O'Shaunessy hud been told by the doctor that he could live but a few hours." said Dr. Tomkins. "and his wife and assembled relatives and friends saked htm whether there was one last wish he would like to have gratified before he died?" "There Is.' said Pat. 'I'd like to near the village band phvy once again.' "Aecn-dingly the village band gathered gath-ered before Pat's house and dls-roursed dls-roursed airs for several hours. When at last It had played, "Say Au Revoir Hut Not Good by," and had taken its own departure. Mrs. O'Shaunessy, kneeling at her husband's bedside, akcd, 'Can e die olsy now. Pa!?' "'Yis.'- replied Pat. '1 can die aisy now. Hades has nothing worse than that.' " |
