looking team pulling what they supposed 10
be an empty wagon with no driver to guide
the team. They caught the latter. aud then
looking into the wagon they found man
lying therein drunk. Not only little.

to the soles of his feet. One of the officers
took cha ge OF the team and the other
looked after the man. On arriving al the
city bastile, one of the policemen recognized,

should he not befriend the man who be-
friended him, Accordingly he was not
locked up. but taken by the kind-hearted
policeman to a friends house and placed in
big, fine feather bed, boots, clothes
and all, for why should he disturb the poor,

thought best 70 remove his foot gear, out
of regard for the lady of the house
Repairing to the bedside of the Sleep
ing man, after taking second
look and q tug or two at the boots his
quondam officer friend decided that it was
not the man he thought it was. So he was
widely awakened just as he was cutting a
chunk off of great big snore and hustled
to the calaboose.
This morning the man paid his fine clev-
erly, shook the dust Of Corsicana from his
feet and snatched himself away, thoroughly
unconscious of his ever having been in bed
at all.

and is clear of fever to-day. The attending
physicians say he will probably be up in
