The Troubles of Somnambulist

M ortimcr j. Loomis is now one of
the most violent Of the denunciators
Of railroads monopolics. Since his
last adventure on the cars lie mates n
railroad w"lsc than an Arapahoc
Indian hates bul,lhcaJcd Shaker
Loomis has fits of somnambulism
occasionally, and at such times he
has M uncomfortable tendency to
wander into dangerous places. More
than once lie has been surprised on
waking to find himself roosting on the
comb Of the roof, or hanying head
foremost down the well, with one leg
around the bucket handle.
IIc went ont to l'ittsburg Il few days
ago, aud when he entered the sleeping
car the thought struck lin that hr
might get to prowling about III the
night while asleep, and walk Off the
platform into the better world So
he went to the brakeman and gave
him dollar, with strict instructions,
if he saw him walking around the car
IN his sleep, to seize him and force
him back at all hazards. Then
LOOMS turned in. About two o'clock
l-oomis awollc aud rs the air Of the
car seemed sitting, he determined to
go out on the platform for Il fresh
breath or two. Just as he got TO the
door the vigilant bra akeman saw him.
grabbed him iloorvd Him and held
down.
When Loomis recovered his breath,
he indignantly exclaimed, "You i'm
mortal ass! What d'you mean I?
Lcmmc get up, tell you; I'm rs wide
awake as you are" But that
myrmidon Of Il graSping corporation
put another knee on Loomis, breast
and insisted tha, Loomis was asleep;
and then he called another brakeman
and, after a terrific strus gle, during
which Loomis received bumps and
blows enough to wake an Egyptian
mummy that had been dead for six
thousand years lie railroad man jam
med him into II berth, put ten trunks
and eight pct-bags on him, and
then sat on him to hold him until
morning. The first thing Mr.. Loomis
asked for wien he currivcI Mt Pittsburg
was y respectable hospital where they
cured The temporarily insane. He
thinks his reason was partially de-
thrcncd by his efforts to comprehend
how that brakeman could have the
face to ask him for another dollar
because ofthe trouble lie gave him
during tho night E,cchungc.
