What the Incureble Esttlsr Heard In an
Attic on . Hot Night.
Gracious powers. how hot my attic
is! the air has stood still here until it
has grown stagnant The bed is so hot,
l seem to be broiling on a griddle.
Lets see. This is the bed-rail; here,
it runs right along here. All, this is
the foot-board; I'll try my head down
here, may be it will be cooler. There,
the clock is striking eleventh 1 could
only sleep. Whewi I'm melting
where's my handkerchief? l certainly
left it here on the table-thunder there
goes the ink-I remember now. 1 laid
my handkerchief on the bureau-no, it
doesn't seem to be here-where can that
measly sweatrag be? I'll have to give
it up and use the sheet-what is this?-
1t feels like-why, it is my handker-
chief-I remember now. l stuck it un-
der my pillow when I came to bed-oh,
If could only sleepi
II wonder how hot it is in here any
way-I believe 1 could see the Their
mometer if I'd hold it there in the
t-fifty-threei-what a miser-
able, lying thing q thermometer is any
way-why it's hundred if it's a degree
| in here-there, take that-you're such
picks up the pieces-what fool am
that thermometer has been out of fix
ever since 1 threw it at that cat last
week. Great heavens! there it is mid
night, and not a wink of sleep have l
got yet-this pillow feels as hard as a
rock-there now-see if it lies any bet
ter that way-not bit-if had to run
the weather I'd never let the mercury
get out of the bulb-I wonder if that
window can't be pushed up little
| higher, no it's as tight as wax.
az never was so tired and sleepy in
my life-where's that fan?-ow-wI
forgot the trunk was there-what did
do with that fan? One o'clock!-the
night is half gone-say this is awful
aw-w-tul-I don't believe l can live till
morning at this rate-H l had cool
drink I'd feel better-where in thunder
| is that fan?-Pve looked every place in
the room for it-somebody's taken it
stolen it, that is the plain truth of the
MATERIAL, here it is on the f1oor-it's
such hard work to use it that it makes
me hotter rather than cooler. I'd give
a thousand dollars for ten minutes of
sleep-one, two-two o'clock-this bed
is hotter than it was three hours ago
I've felt of every square inch of it a hun
dred times and there is not a cool spot

and compel myself to sleep. Let's see;
how does the multiplication table go?
Two and two are four-no, that isn't it

thunder does it run?-it's all nonsense
any way. Oh, if could only sleep!
WHATS that? One, two three-that
clock woke me just as | was beginning
to doze. I'll smash 1T to-morrow-to-

as he was Familiarity called here, spent the
better part of his life on Puget sound,
making headquarters at Fairhaven on Bel
lingham bay. He was good sailor, and
wandered far and wide over the ocean.
His sioop knew every port on the Sound.
Seven years ago your correspondent visited
his lone cabin at Fairhaven. 1t was
hoveI, without floor, bed, comfort or adorn-
ment of any kind. He slept on the ground
in roll of blankets. This was before he
sold the Fairhaven townsite to Nelson Ben
nett for $4,000. After the sale he married
and went to Los Angeles and loaned out
his money. His wife soon died of con-
sumption. Left by himself again he slept
and cooked his own meals in shanty,
while he had at least 100000 at command.
The luxuries of life had no charm for him
and he did not possess the ability to enjoy
his riches. Previous to the election of
Cleveland Dan sent off and had an enor-
nous flag made, about 25x50 feet in size.
1t cost large sum, but Dan was an en-
thusiastic Democrat. and Cleveland was
his idol. A high pole was prepared, and
when the election of Cleveland was an

was a jubilee at Fairhaven. Beer, wine
and whisky flowed as freely as water in the
brook, and Dams fine new house was
thrown open to every one who wished to
join the revelry. At midnight the guests
were strewn all over the richly furnished
house, 'too full for utterance" Under the
