"Mr.Mix, I am anxious to have my cemetery lot fixed up--to put in new tombstones and reset the railing; and I called to see if I could make some satisfactory arrangement with you." _Mix_.

"Certainly, madam.

Tell me precisely what it is you want done." _Mrs.B_.

"Well, I'd like to have a new tombstone put over the grave of John--my husband, you know--and to have a nice inscription cut in it, 'Here lies John Smyth,' etc., etc.

You know what I mean; the usual way, of course, and maybe some kind of a design on the stone like a broken rosebud or something." _Mix_.
