THEY'RE ALL THERE.

Take a walk through the GEM
etery alone and you will pass the
last resting place OF the man who
blew into the muzzle Of a gun to
see if it was loaded. A little far
ther down the slope is the crank
who tried to show how close he
could pass in front of a moving
train. In strolling about you see
the modest monument of the
hired girl who tried to start the
fire with kerosene, and a grass
covered knoll that covers the boy
who put a corn cob under a mules
tail. The shaft over the man
who blew out the gas casts q
shadow over the boy who went to
the 4th Of July picnic and ate too
much ice cream. Side by side
the ethereal creature who always
had her corset laced to the last
hole, and the intelligent idiot who
rode a bicycle 8 miles in 10 min
utes, sleep on undisturbed' AT
repose is the doctor who took q
dose of his own medicine and
there with u shoe box driven oyer
