An old Irishman who had made a good deal of money, but who wasn’t very particular about his habits or conduct, lived in Chicago. His custom was to go downtown about once a month on a spree, and then come back home and beat up hia family and break the furniture. His aged wife who had stood him for many years, blind. Finally be died, and his children gave Mm a flue funeral. They had plenty of money now that the old man was dead, and so they spread themselves. At the church there was elaborate ceremony. The blipd widow was dissolved in woe. She cried and cried all through the services, paying scant heed to what was going on until the eulogy was pronounced. She listened. The priest referred to the dead man in glowing terms. After about ten minuteß of this the aged widow nndged her son and whispered: -Danny, do they be havin’ two funerals here today?”—Saturday Evening Post.
