IN THIS CEMETERY
Sexton Decides That Burying Ground

Joplin, Mo-By order Of Jake
Staab, sexton of Fairview cemetery,
spooning in that graveyard has been
tabooed. Spooning has always been
tabooed, but like some of the city
ordinances, the rule has not been as
rigidly enforced as it might have
been.
But now the little blind god will be
compelled to carry on his operations
in other places. Staab has come to
the conclusion that the graveyard is
a place for sorrow and not for love-
making, and he wants soft young cou-
pies to distinctly understand that no

The moral to be drawn from the
following incident is that nothing Is
certain in this world and thac 1t Is q
wise plan to look before you leap.
says the New York World.
A short time ago a young Boston
ian. William Hoffman, brought to a
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. They
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
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-lookingh holes
with soap.
When the shades of evening fell
Mrs. Hoffman grew more nervous and
demanded 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 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 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 WON
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 brook and
here the besmeared the swollen
faces, arms and ankles of the party
with applications of mud until they
were sight to behold Then 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.
