Susquchannn, Aug. 17. Yellow Jack
ets made things hum at a Sunday Fer
vlee and wedding In the little red
t-chool house, seven miles from here,
last wt'i'l:,. Once a month the Kev.Ab
ncr Moon, an aged clergyman, drives
over to Gulf Summit, to preach to the
fanners and lumbermen. The congre
gation was larger than usual on Sun
day, It having been noised abroad that
a popular young couple of the vicinity
eie to be man led at the close of tho
tervlce. Elder Moon always makes his
homo with the family of Farmer Croz
icr, at the Summit, and before going to
tho school house to begin the service,
Mrs. Crozlcr. with n womanly regard
for the eterunl fitness of things, sug
gested that, inasmuch as there was to
be a marriage ceremony, the good man
ought to exchange his soft lint for a
tile. The elder thought so, too, but
said he had none with him. Mrs. Croz
iei left the room, but soon triumphant
ly returned, bearing an ancient beaver
belonging to her husband. It was a
veteran of several campaigns, and had
l.ten in the garret for a year or so. It
lltted the older nicely, and he started
for the school house. There he found
the prospective bride and bridegroom,
occupying front seats, and an expect
ant congregation tilling the little build
ing. Somehow, the service passed off
listlessly. The graphic story of Jonah
nnd the whale fell upon 'unheeding
cars. The appetite of the congregation
was whetted to witness the wedding.
The sermon was finished, the choir had
sang a hymn, and the elder had' Just
nsked for a liberal collection in aid of
the suffering Armenians. Farmer
liloodgood usually took up the collec
tion, and, reaching over the preacher's
desk, he grasped the elder's borrowed
beaver. In a second, or less, there
emerged from the hat scores of active,
aggressive yellow Jacket bees. Several
of them attacked the elder's bald head,
and, with a cry of pain, he leaped out
of the window and sought a nearby
brook. Farmer liloodgood cried to the
congregation to be seated and be dis
missed In order, but the bees were rais
ing lumps on saint and sinner, and In
three minutes the little school house
was deserted, except by the bees. Far-'
mer Bloodgood found the elder In a ra
lne, applying damp clay to his swol
len scalp. Then thoy made a close In
spection of the tile, and discovered a
snug little bee's nest, made in the
darksome recesses of the garret.
Strangely enough, the bees suffered
themselves to be carried to church
without piotest,. They were in the top
oi i ue int. which was not disturbed by
the elder whin he put on and took off
tho beaver. 3ut when the coin began
to drop In, It rou3d the yellow jackets
to a vigorous resistance. By night the
rider had recovered Bulliclently tc bo
nbl to perform- the marriage cere
mony at the heme of Farmer Crozler.
There was no evening service In the lit
' tie red school hous-e. The suffering
Armenians will be compelled to suffer
until tho next monthly service.

A COLD WELL.
Between Great Bend and Kirkwood
there is a well locally known as "the
well of frozen air." In digging the
well for water a strata of frozen clay
was encountered at a depth of 55 feet.
After passing through live feet of this,
numerous cavities were encountered
through which the cold air came in
gusts. The escape of the air from the
well could be heard roaring for two
hundred yards. The air which comes
from the subterranean depths Is so
frigid that It Is not possible for one
to Hold his hand over the opening for
more than two minutes without having
It frozen. A bucket of water set over
the opening will freeze through within
a few hours. The work on the well was
abandoned as soon as the cavities of
frozen air were tapped.
