THE wHISTLING PILLOW.
Filled the House with Horror and Made
Night HIdeous.

Mr.. John q. Rumble was a man after
his own name. You could always tel.
when John q. was about because he
was always kicking" about some
thing. He had dyspepsia and was
troubled with insomnia He had tried
all the well-known cures. and vet only
averaged about three hours sleep a
night. He was queer looking char
acter, was John G., he was 50 awfulIv
bald, with a pink, shining dome, sur
rounded by rim of stubby hair He
looked sallow and discontented and
lean and altogether disgusted with life.
His wife was very fond of him and
petted him much he would allow
One day some one suggested that he
get rubber pillow 1t was argued
that the pillow would keep his head
cool and allow him to 90 to sleep
He was willing To try anything, 50
he bought the pillow. That night he
inflated it, and as he placed his head
on il he said to his wife:
''Ah! this Is the thing. I'll be able
to sleep with this, sure" And he ac-
tually dropped % To sleep without
delay.
His wife was delighted.
An hour or two later she awol,e
with thrill of horror; she felt some
thing on her feet. She was sure il was
the hand of the midnight assassin As
soon as she could get her voice she
gave vent To IA shrek that brought
John G- on to the floor with a bound.
Murder" she yelled. ''Someb body's
got me by the feet" John g. struck a
light and investigated. 1t was the
rubber pillow.
John q. put the pillow in place and
went to sleep once more.
Mrs Rumble was just doing off
shs was still very nervous-when she,
heard low. continuous whistle. She
sat up and listened. She was sure ii
was signal from burglar under the
bed to an accomplice downstairs Her
heart seemed To stop beating for
awhile and then she shook her hus-
band awake and into a sitting posture
Then the whistling ceased.
John" she whispered. Il heard
whistle in this very room. Some one
is under the bed"
Il can't hear no whistle - said John.
GROSSLY and sleepily, and straightway
dropped off to sleep again The whis-
tie sounded again and she shook John
once more. John got up and lit the
gas and looked around the room.
Then he noticed his pillow was very
fiat and the whistling robber mystery
was solved. The cap on the tube Of
the pillow had worked loose in its
journey around the bed and Johns
head had been pressing the wind out
of ii; when he arose and took away
the pressure the whistling ceased
Mrs Rumble's nerves had had all
the rubber pillow they could stand.
