After the Are old man Billiard found
lodgings on South street. He Is huge, TAT,
good natured, and very entertaining man. Inc
proprietor OF the lodging bousc was much
pleased with Bullard, and laughed at hts tokea
the fist evening OF his arrival NJ his place till
tears ran down his checks. Tho men who were
TO be Bulldrd's roommatcs also thought wei Of
him that evening. The nett morning, how
evor, they went to the landlord and told him
that he must ind some other place for Mr.. Bull
lard. as he was such a terrific snorer they
couldn't stand him.
The LANDLORDS rooms were all occupied, and
he had no place for lBullafd but lust where he
was. Tho complaining dodgers eft. and In two
or three days two other men were put into the
vacant bed. Rullord made short, work Of them
one night let then. out. The landlord sought an
interview with Ballard, and demonstrated.

found men to take the beds, but again Dullard
cleaned them oit In single n9nt.,
Growing desperate, the ndlord again went
10 llullard. lie told him he must either leave
the house OF pay rent for all tho beds IN tho room

bargain; he had paid SIS Tor his bod, and he in
tended keeping II TIL his month was up, and he
didn't propose to ply for beds he had no use
for he didn't snore, and the man who asserted
