Last Saturday night quite a sensation
was created at o barber shop by the dis
eoveFy that a man had gone to sleep in
the bath tub. The somnolent man was a
well known citizen, who, while enjoying
the warm bath, dropped off to sleep and
dream like a Turk or a Persian. The
attaches Of the bath room would not
wake him up, the spectators saying, Let
him sleep" He looked like some marine
monster, or male A~phrodite, floating
around in the water. 1t was a strange
but comical sight-one worthy of being
photographed and placed in some art
gallery.

his services being too valuable to los,,
