tthfss "After the fire, Old man Buflard
found lodgings on South c Street. He
got a bed in large room containing
4 Two other beds that were occupied. Mr..
Billiard is huge, fat, good-natured and
very entertaining man. The proprietor
j of the. lodgiRg-hoHse.was- much pleased
with Bullards and laughed at bis Jokes,
j the.fIst evening sof1his arrival at his
place, till tears ran down his cheeks.
The men who were to be Billiards.
iroonl-niates also thought well of him
that evening. The next morning, how
ever, they looked sad and red-eyed.
VI hon they went 70 he fandIord and told
I him that he must find some other place
for Mr., Builard, as-he was such a. ter.
rife snorer they scouldn't stand AhimA
The landlords rooms were all occupied,
and he shadgno plaoevfers Billiard but
Trust where he was. The complaining
ilodgers left, and ingtwo or. three, days
two lotherhnenlw were put into. the vacant
bed Bullard made short work of them;
one night, let them put.i The Landlord
sought an interview with Bullard and
demonstrated with him. Billiard stoutly
asserted that he did not snore-had
feYer been. knownu. to-.snQre.- The
landlord had to give Bullard up as a.
4 bad bargain and turned his attention to
looking up. dodgers with which to fill
his vacant beds. He found men TO take
the beds, but again Billiard cleaned
| them out in a single might. Growing
desperate, the landlord again went to
Billiard. He told him he must either
leave the house. or pay rent for all the
beds IN the roon-S45 per month.
Billiard said bargain was bargain;
he had paid SIS for his bed and in
tended keeping it till his month wasRp,
and he didn't propose to pay for beds
he had nc, use for; he didn't snore, and
! the man who asserted to the contrary
lWas.a ssliar and horse-thef - The !
landlord felt very much depressed after
| this last Interview with Billiard, as he
saw he was determined not to be re-
lmoved from his quarters. "A morning
\ or two after, as Billiards. landlord was
going down town he saw standing in his
door a. brother lodging house man.
Thank heaven he's gOne!Pa said the
man as Billiards. landlord came up.
."Thank heaven I'm rid of him at last!"

:" He's good one, is hep" s1
ga good one? He's a perfect terror!
He's more different kinds of snorer
than any mani ever heard, and every
time he changes his key it is for the
worse. While ! had him here crowds
were gathering in front of the house
nightly, wondering what was the mat

night thinking some one was being
murdered. My dog ran away, and all
the cats left the house, sirins dIa "a 81
