~ 1880
who wanted 1t Didn't Get Ii.
1t was a very small Western town
and the only train out of it that night
left at 2 o'clock. The travelling man
had impressed upon the night porter
of the hotel the Importance of calling
him in time for this train. Promptly
at 100 a prodigious knock reused the
sleeper.
Say! be yez the man what wants
the 2 o'clock thrainY"
Yes was the sleepy reply from
within.
We'll, yez can shape an hour long.
er, fer she's so much late
The sleavy feet shufied off down the
hall, and silence ensued. Another
hour had passed, when Pat again
knocked.
Say! be yez the felly what said he
wanted to ketch the = o'clock thrain? r
"Yes!." and there was a sound OF
the man hastily springing from his
bed.

from the travelling mans ROOM, and
were audible to his awakened neigh

but oon all was quiet again. and the
few occupants Of the hotel were left
for some time to undisturbed repose
Just at the first faint streaks of dawr
were tingeing the sky Pat once more
made his presence known. and, in
tones giving unmistakable evidence
of recent and heavy slumber, remark
ed:
