HIS DILEMMA.
Thought He Was n Hero, But He Waa
Just "A ChumD.


just Chump.
One of the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coolest
sweat out on a mans brow, and ever
after remain with him as constant
source of mirth, occurred to a Shelton
merchant few days ago. He thought
he would take a bath, and as his fiat is
minus one of the chief requisites for
the job-a bathtub-he eXtemporized
one out of a small wash tub and en-
joyed a cooling ablutlon.
He had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for the towel when sud-
denly the top hoop of the tub burst
with sharp report, and the man saw
to his horror that the whole contents of
the tub would soon be flooding the
floor. At the same moment he thought
of the store beneath and the amount of
damage the water would do as it ran
down through the ceiling. He is man
of quick thought, and in a moment he
did the only thing possible-threw
himself down beside the tub, and,
clasping his arms around it, held the
already fast swelling stays together.

in, but what situation! He dared not
yell, for he was hardly in condition to
receive callers. especially as he knew
that all in the block at the time were of
the gentler sex, and he realized at once
that the only thing left for him was to
stay in that position until the return
of his wife. who was out on a shopping
expedition.
Like the boy who saved Holland, he
maufully remained in his most uncom-
Portable position until relief in the
shape of his wife appeared. Then, to
cap the climax. when he asked her to
get rope or any old thing to tie about
the tub. she. after a long fit of uncon-
trollable laughter, asked him why he
didn't carry the tub and contents out
to the sink room and pour out the wa
ter. With a look that froze the smile
on her face he did as she said, and with
out a word donned his clothing and
wandered out into the cold, unfeeling
world. a crushed and humiliated man.
