^ OF FUNERAL SAVED HIM
*SOFIA, April 15—Uncle Stoimen,
of Custemlil, is peeved.
He doesn't think his folks treated
him right. In his opinion they had no
right to try to bury him before he
was dead.
"Uncle Stoimen is one of the patri
archs of Custendil, having dwelt in the
small city, which was built by Con
stantine the Great, all of his 79 years.
He was always considered one of the
tough old chaps who seemed certain
to live to be 100.
Recently, however, Uncle Stoimen
complained that he did not feel very
well and took to his bed. He dropped
off to sleep and failed to awake. The
doctor looked him over and told the
family that their worthy unde had
passed to his reward.
Great preparations wore made for
Uncle Stoimen’s funeral, for he is one
of Custendil’s favorite old men. He
was bathed, dresed in his best clothes,
and the medals which he won, in the

Funeral Held
» A long line of sorrowing relatives
and fellow-townsmen followed Uncle
; Stoimen’s coffin toward the cemetery,
n where a newly dug grave had been pre
pared for his last long sleep. Custen
- dil was an prepared to bury the pat
riarch but the elements intervened. A
heavy snowstorm came on and soon
’; filled to the brim the grave intended
j for Uncle Stoimen’s interment. The
^ officiating priest decided to postpone
1 ' burial to the next day, and Uncle Stoi
men was carried back to the church.
, During the night, however, Uncle
Stoimen apparently changed his mind
about dying and in the ghostly hours
of early morning he roused himself,
' knocking the lid off his coffin and be
* gan yelling for help; The only help in
L the vicinity was the sexton* who re
sponded to the cries. When he saw Un
1 cle SlOinten struggling to get out of
the coffin, the sexton promptly keeled
* over and there was no stammering
-1 with him—he was dead, without ques
tion.
Uncle Runs Home
j Uncle Stoimen escaped from the
! chapel and dashed through the streets
to his home. Townsmen, who had
risen early so they could get their
’: work done in time to be present at
_ i his burial, were dumbfounded. When
their “dead” uncle burst into the Stoi
men family circle as they were par
taking of a sorrowful breakfast a first
class panic ensued. Uncle Stoimen’s
! wife fainted.
j Uncle Stoimen made known his dis
| pleasure in unmistakable language. He
! had not been dead, and he called it
j downright cruel of his folks to cait
him off to the church and leave him
there in a long wooden box that he
had a deuce of a time getting out of.
He inquired, in his best Bulgaiian
what the idea was.
