SURPRISING A sNORER.

OF all the trains from New York 20
Washington during Inauguration travel
none was more crowded than the one
that pulled out of the Baltimore and Ohio
station few minutes after midnight Fri
day. The passengers were fretful and
uneasy, and sleep hard to woe. By 2.3O
a. M, however, the cars grew quiet On
Jard the sleeper Norway the commo-
ton had subsidized into stiffness which
prevailed until of a sudden it was broken
by loud snOre, which echoed through
the coach. 1t increased in volume and
regularity until remonstrances began to
be howled from nearly every berth.
Give the baby some syrup!" "Hit
him with a club!' ''Give us a. chance
to sleepr' "Call the porter!" were
among the objurgations heaped upou the
sleeper, who snored unmindful through
it all. There were no signs of the porter,
and 1T seemed that desperate measures
were about to be taken. Several heads
protruding from berths joined in the
statement that the snOre came from up
per l.. The angriest fellow of all, the
one in lower Is, was getting ready to
clambor out and by forcible means try to
suppress the annoying disturber of the
cars peace, when a voice was heard in
upper s.:
watch me stop that snOre."
Then there came three sharp raps On
the side of the car. The snorer gave a
groan, was heard to roll over, and after
that he became silent Muffle applause
was heard up and down the coach.
Once more during the night the snore
began, but when several passengers
called out, 'Shut him off again." the
three raps again were given and the snor-
er subsidized.
In the morning everybody was smiling.
The peace giver who had been Weakened
the night before, a young Gothamite,
quiet of dress and manner, was dis
covered. He wss asked to explain his
power over the snorer.
at is no power, "he exclaimed. cts

it by my bed. Every time the snore

They never failed to bring silence. Last

Christ didn't hev nothin' ter do with Their
Bible, no mOre'n yew did. There was a
time, clean back, when every fellar he'd
his own Bible, an Their mos Gurus part
ont was tibet every one on 'em writ his
Bible himself.
There wuz Matthew, an Mark, an
Luke an John, an Moses, an Jonah, an
Solomon an David, an ther don't no
body know haow many more. They all
had their own Bibles and every fellaT
thought his wuz Their best one in ther

oval, after some years ther people he
gin ter clamOr for ther true Bible, an so
all these fellars met tergether ter decide
which wuz Their true Bible. Naow of

best, an then they had some words
which waOund up in a war. They fit
burty fierce fur time, an there wuz
considerable many of 'em got killed off,

halt an caount up the waounded. Then
they he'd ernuther consultation, an after
er good deal er jawin' on all sides they

ter put all their books tergether into one.
An the more l think ont the more be-
