CURLED UP ON THE SIDEBOARD.
A Batavian Farmer Did Not Under
stand the Folding Bed.

An old gray-whiskered man, who had
lived all his life on u small farm near
Batavia, stopped at the hotel last Tues
day evening. He said he wanted room
for one night He was sent up to the
third floor. Later in the evening he went
cut, and didn't come back till midnight
He had evidently been enjoying himself
His breath smelled of whisky He went
up to his room, and that was the last
seen Of him until early in the morning,
when a boy went TO call him for his
train. The boy got no answer when he
knocked on the door and he opened it
and walked in. The folding bed had not
been let down. The boy had to look
about for a moment or two before he
discovered the old man. Then he heard
a husky voice from up near the ceiling
somewhere. He looked up and there was
the guest, curled up on top of the bed,
rubbing his eyes. He was fully dressed,
with the exception of his big, cowhide
boots, which were standing on the floor.
Say, mister" inquired the boy, why
didn't yer get into bed?"
"B'goSh,' shouted the man, angrily,
there amt no bed. Here I've been
curled up on top of this here sideboard
all night without wink O. sleep. Amt
this a nice way to treat man? Hey?"
