was gesticulating wildly, being evident

Mr.. Simson mentions that an old

went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
he invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace Of his
missing garment. A great number Of
shirts disappeared In this inexplicable

intimate friends, and requested him 10
sit in the room all night and watch de-

after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him
get out of bed, open the door and proceed
with quick pace along a corridor, de-
scend the stairs and emerge into an open

Suddenly the baTonet, divesting him
self Of his only garment, seized a pitch
fork and buried the linen IN a dunghill.
Afterward he proceeded leisurely back

Hans Christian Andersen was born in
Odense, Denmark, April 2, 1905, and died
in Copenhagen Aug. 4, 1875. The period
OF 1855 Is selected because at that age the

were taken, and he had then acquired all
the dignity with none Of the decrepitude
Of age.
