have spoken several times OF the cti-

are general. Of course. applying 10 all
classes of people. However. lhope you
will not allow Bartholomew 70 lie for you
az some husbands do when their wives
want TO swap an upper berth for lower
one. Not long ago had a good lower
berth near the thermometer so that l
could watch the squint of the mercury as
it clomb up and looked over the edge of
the tube and then gently crawled back
into its bulb again with blue lips and
chattering teeth.
Anon a man with luxurant head OF
whiskers came TO me and said could do
him a great favor if | would swap berths
with his wife, as they had been unable
to get lower berth. l said was not
very well, and in other ways seemed
TO hesitate and hang back. for it is not
long since gave my pleasant little berth
To an unknown woman who had not the
grace of God in her heart nor the grace
Of anybody else in her general bearing.
She did not even thank me, but ate
crackers and cheese all the wav from
Buffalo 70 Chicago, and kept the section
looking so tough that l could not stand
it. got the pneumonia, and it took two
weeks TO rim out my poor congested
lungs.
Well, this Mr.. Whiskers said that the
only reason be wanted lower berth for
ms wife was that she was almost always
seasick while travelling on the cars, and
especially when in an upper berth. he
also added that her berth was over mine.
Recalling the general gloom and other
things that a seasick person can cast
over q community at times, decided to
yield my berth. Next morning l told
the conductor about it as | put large
plaster on my chest lie said yes, that
was getting to be quite popular way of
soaring a man out OF lower berth now.
He hardly made trip, he said, that
some man was not riiled Of his berth
right in that manner.
Keep the mouth closed while sleeping
on the cars. Your mouth will thus taste
sweeter even to yourself in the morning
than il would otherwise, and beside you

az al times reprehensible, is doubly so
on sleeping car and on bridal tour.
