The old general arrived from the cast on a special car. His carcass had been viewed ajong the route, and those who doubted that General loom had expired were assured when they saw his familiar features resting in the casket. Sure enough, he was there, and no one could mis- take the identity of the corpse. The oniy thing lacking in unique funeral trip was tears. friends the old general had, failed to view the corpse. All one could head in the way Oof s pathy was: “He looks natural.” And General Gloom certainly looked natural. His mortal remains took the form of a papier Mache hzmmer. For the general liked the hammer above all his instruments of glcom. The knock always served his nurposes best, and he induced a large following to use it generously during the past few years, When old General Gloom reached the end of his railroad journey from yracuse, N.

Governor Hiram W. Johnson, James Rolph, Jr., and Gen- cral J.
