Take a walk through d cemetery, says
a contemporary, and you will pass the
last resting place OF the man who blew
into the muzzle Of a gun TO see If II was
loaded. A little further down the slope
is buried the crank who tried TO show
how close he could pass in front OF a
moving train. ON strolling about you
pass the modest monument Of the hired
girl who started the fire with Kerosene,
and the grass covered knoll that covers
what is left of the boy who put a corn
cob under a mules tail. The tall shaft
Of the man who blew out the gas casts
a shadow across the bosom of the boy
who tried TO jump a moving train. Side
by side the ethereal creature who al
ways had her corset laced To the last
hole and the intelligent idiot who rode
d bicycle nine miles in ten minutes sleep
on undisturbed. Here exposes the re-
mains of the young doctor who took a
dose OF his own medicine, just over
there with the top of a shoe box driven
down at his head lies "A rich man who
married a young wife. Away over there
by a side gate exposes the remains Of
the boy who went fishing Oh sunday,
and the woman who kept strychnine
side by side with baking powder In the
cupboard. The man who stood in front
Of a moving machine TO oil the sickle Is
quiet now and he rests 10y the side Of
the careless brakeman who fed himself
to a seventy ton engine, and so it goes.
The fool killer is gathering them in one
by one, still he is sometimes behind with
his orders.
