T.oouacious Guide Relates Curious
Episode to Tourists
louisville CONFECTIONERY

louisville Courier-JournaL)
William (the guide at Mammoth
cave) grew Ioquaeious. William does
not talk very often, but when he does
every one listens. William has been a
guide at the cave all his life, and has
done some good work at exploration.
He is a tall lanky. agile. sure-footed
Scotchman- He seldom tells his name
You may call me William" he says.
whenever he is asked his name.
William the Conqueror," suggests
the Slim-legged youth who tries 10 be
funny
If anybody conquers on this trip
they'll have to stoop TO do So replies
William, with a roguish glance al the
maid clinging to the funny boys arm.
OF course it is up TO her to color. and
she usually does so with good grace.
The procession starts, funny boy and
all, with William at the head The
Jester thinks he will catch William of
guard.
What is that hole over there in the
waH2'' he asks
Step in there a moment with your
lantern" replies the ready William
The unsuspeeting youth goes IN and
turns around with an induiring look
That" says William, is the mules
STALL"
Everybody laughs except the funny
boy.
But the humorous boy must get
ahead.
Did any one ever get lost in here?'
he says.
Yes replies William. "often. Once
a party with a dog was lost The name
of the dog was Brigham"
why Brigham2'' bites the ever
ready youth.
Because he was young" laconicaily
responds William
Soon a large, round stone is reached.
That" said William, lis the egg"
'sThe egg" echoes the funny one
What kind Of an egg is that?'
'Oh, that's the roc's egg, replies
William.
The Jester stumps his toe.
At the bridal chamber William once
more stops to explain
This is called the bridal altar be-
cause long ago a marriage took place
here A willful maid of the days Of
cur fathers had promised her mother
that she would never marry any man
on earth. At length the right man
came and the maid lost her heart and
was near breaking her promise. But
] she found the way out, and she never
married a man on earth
ITS wonder" suggests the ire
pressi BILE funny boy that people don't
come down here and be married just
to say they have done it."
They used 10 do So responds VII

have stopped that" and ne gives a
