Vagrant Asleep Among Caskets.
New York.—James Duffey, Brooklyn
undertaker, distinotly heard snores
coming from his cellar, where he stores
caskets. Checking up from memory,

come back to life, so he telephoned the
Fifth avenue police station about it. A
policeman responded, and found Mi
chael Nolan sleeping soundly among
the caskets.
In tlie Fifth avenue court, when ar
raigned on the charge of vagrancy.
Nolan said he bad no home.
“No mao with the name of Nolan
should be a vagrant,” said the court.
“GO and land a job.”
