On one Of the rainy days recently An
unfortunate tramp received a greal deal
Of attention from the passersby along
Park row. He was a complete and
unique specimen Of his kind. He was
standing against building fast asleep.
The drizzle that was falling blew into
his face. and he WAS growing wet and
presumably cold, but there he stood
straight up, sound asleep. with his back
egsillst the stone wall. His head would
'droop, and those watching him thought
he would fall down, or that his head
wo1lld be jerked from his shoulders, but
when his head almost touched his left
lhoulGer he would straighten up slowly
IN his sleep and keep it in position for a
few minutes. Finally 80 many small
boys gathered around him that the muir
.lur Of their voices awakened him, and
9TH look of disgust at those who had
disturbed his slumbers he slowly mean
dered to some Bowery lodging house to
finish his nap.-New York Times.
