Made a Good Guess.

A gentleman was watching a military funeral passing down the street It was a very pretentious affair, and he walked to the edge of the curb to get a better view of the spectacle. Just then the flag-draped cannon passed, bearing the flower-laden coffin. His curiosity was all the more aroused, so he stepped up to a newsboy, who was watching the procession, and asked: “Who’s dead, sonny T” The newsle looked at his questioner and then at the passing troops and finally said: —-' ■— ‘1 don’t know, boss; but I guess It must be the feller under all dem flowers!”
