Caring for a Passenger.

A well known Philadelphian went to-
Pittsburg a few days ago, and when he
entered the sleeping car the thought struck
him that he might get to walking about
during the night while asleep, as he was
something of a somnambulist and walk off
the platform into a better world. So he
went to the brakeman and gave him a dol
lar with strict instructions that if he saw
him walking around the car in his sleep, to
seize him and force him back at all haz-
ards. Then the Philadelphian turned in
and soon his reverberating snore echoed
the screech of the locomotive. About two
o'clock Loomis awoke, and as the air Of the
car seemed sitting, he determined to go on
the platform for fresh breath or two. Just
as he got to the door the brakeman saw
him, grasped him, and held him down.
When the Philadelphian recovered his
breath he Indignantly exclaimed, "What
do you mean? Let me up, tell you l
am as wide awake as you are." But the
brakeman put another knee to his breast,
and insisted that the man was asleep, and
then he called another brakeman, and after
terrific struggle, during which the un-
fortunate received bumps and blows innu-
merable, the railroad man jammed him
into berth, put trunk and eight carpet
bags on. him, and then set on him to hold
him down until morning.
