SYNOPSIS. Time 12 o'clock midnight. The spirits of all the dead become restless and one by one they assemble above the graves to discuss the advisability of a little reservation. One of them in the best language that a ghost (can command, suggests a cake walk as being eminently proper for the occasion. The others deliberate over the propriety of such a thing, but finally when their eternal rag-time spirit predomluates they decide to celebrate, appointing a judge for the ceremony. This very dignified ghost bids all to prepare, and they * take their places to begin. Shortly after when the * is becoming hilarious for such folks who populate a church yard, they are startled by the noise of a passing party of wordly mortals whereupon each skeleton rattles quickly back to their prospective tomb and nothing can be heard but the dreary sighing of the wind through the graveyard trees.
