Bruin's Sweet Tooth.

The warmest meal on record on Puget Sound was eaten Saturday’ night near Buemia, on the east shore of the sound between Tacoma and Seattle. Tbe feasier was a member of tbe Bruin family, and beehives loaded with honey and living, stinger-loaded honey makers was the bill of fare. The hives belonged to Dr. Oliver and were standing in his yard near Buenua. Their delicious honey attracted theHiear and tempted him beyond resistance, bees and their weapons notwithstanding. Mr. Bruin was not at all backward at helping himself, and when the feast was done he had swallowed the honey and bees of one hive and part of those of a second. He left nothing to tell the tale except his footprints on the sand, the partly demolished hive and the home and the remainder of the homestead, together with the doctor, who is busy explaining how it happened aud congratulating himself upon his fortunate escape.—Tacoma Ledger.
