Innocent Appearing Log Brought In
to Make Pleasant Fire Con-
sained Elements of Disturb
ance Galore.

The moral TO be drawn from the
following incident is that nothing Is
certain in this world and that 1t is
wise plan to look before you leap,
says the New York World.
A short time ago young Boston
ian, William Hoffman, brought to
camp at Ashland, Me-, his bride OF
month. After doing Bar Harbor and
the White mountains the couple
longed for quiet and sought it In the
vastness of the primeval forest. fhey
would, they thought, be far from
friends, and PREPARED to finish their
vacation clad in old clothes and sur
rounded by limitless freedom.
The only shadow which crept up
ward on the roseate horizon Of domes-
tic bliss was mice. Mrs. Hoffman has
a horror of mice and the second day
in camp when she discovered one OF
the small rodents scudding from back
of the fireplace in the main room she
nearly went into Mysteries. She
thought that If they had invaded one
room they might another; and that
day the guides spent most of their
time plugging suspicious-looking holes
with soap.
When the shades of evening fell
Mrs. Hoffman grew more nervous and
demanded a roaring fire in the crate.
This had been cracking cheerfully
some time when there came a knock
at the door and two Portland couples
who were camping in the neighbor-
hood dropped in to make a friendly
call. The advent was unexpected, but
the Hoffmans were by this time lone
some enough to welcome any
strangers of respectable appearance.
and when bridge was suggested a
table was brought out and the party
was soon lost in the excitement Of the
game.
So interesting did they find bridge
that the hours wore away and the fire
died down until the supply of wood in
the none too commodious box was
entirely exhausted. Thereupon Mr..
Hoffman and his male guests went
out in search for more. AS the
guides had retired and the axe was
missing they seized upon a four-foot
log lying just back of the camp and
carrying it to the fireplace gently
laid it upon the embers.
Had Mr.. Hoffman been less OF a
tenderfoot he would have noticed that
the log was hollow and full of bees,
but being IMMERSED in the lore of the
woods, he merely retired to the table
and began shutting the cards. The
deal was half completed when the
whole room seemed to be alive with
buzzing, humming insects, the smell
OF burned honey and pain. The wom-
en- screamed and ran out of doors, the
men did likewise, and the guides,
tumbling out of their cots, came rush.
ing down, thinking a bear had in
vaded camp.
Near the camp was a brook and
here the besmeared the swollen
faces, arms and ankles of the party
with applications of mud until they
were a sight to behold. Then a fire
was built and the campers made as
comfortable as possible until the
guides could smoke the indignant
bees from the cabin. Next day the
Hoffmans left for New York to get a
little rest before going home.
