The Fake Story About the Ant1-Snore
Law Furnishes a Joke for punch"
The following appears in a copy of
London Punch" which reached this
city last week:
THE TERROR BY NIGHT.
"a counterblast by a light sleeper,
with apologies to Robert Browning:)

reported to have drafted a bill for the
summary suppressing of snoring in
sleeping cars and other public places,
which will shortly be laid before the
legislature of Kansas, and stands a
good chance of becoming laW.)
Oh, to be in Kansas.
When the law is there,
And whoever sleeps in Kansas
Wakes next morning, unaware,
Having slept, like a dormOuse, round
the clock,
UnrOuSed, undiSturbed by the Stert-
rous shock
OF the searching snOre that they'll
not allow
In Kansas, now!
I'd rhyme in thankful, rapt'rous
stanZaS
If the world would follow the lead of
Hark where all night resounds a
trumpet-nOSe
OF some fell snorer, open-mouthed, in
In sleeping car, hotel where'er one
goes
That's the bug-bear, who snorts each
snort twice over,
Lest you should think he never could
recapture
That first fine careless rapture!
Yes, such nOcturneS are breaches of
the peace
Would that the law might let such
terrOrS cease,
By making snOrers all together snore,
Each waking EACH until they sleep no
more!

BORROWS HIS BLOOD.
An Abilene Man Kept Alive
With Vitality From Veins
of Friends.

abilene, March 3.-Walking about
the streets of Abilene every day is
man who is living merely by the grace
ana through the kindness of others, for
IT is largely the blood of other men that
courses through his veins and gives him
vitality
The man in his time has been a hard
drinker and the use and abuse Of liquor
in quantities has finally so far ruined
his stomach that the muscles of that
important organ refuse to perform their
usual functions and digestion has be-
come almost impossible. The stomach,
which contracts to its minimum size
when empty, when in a state of good
health, in his case lies a distended, fab
by, almost useless mass, and food put
into it lies in a state of indigestion till
again pumped out.
A surgeon informed him that it was
necessary to borrow vitality elsewhere
and to this end a number of healthy,
full bIOoded men were interested in the
case and consented to give up, at var
to the sufferer. One of these Samari-
tans was seen yesterday. He is a man
of splendid physique and perfect health.
Barring his right arm ne showed an in
cisiOn about half an inch in length,
where the surgeons knife had tapped
a vein. From this opening to a similar
one made in the arm of his patient, the
surgeon had, by the means of a tube,
transmitted nearly a pint and a half of
blood, this supplying the sufferer with
a sufficient supply of rich and healthy
cOrpuscleS to at once make him feel like
new man and give him vitality
enough to last him, if necessary, two or
three days.
The gentleman who made the exhibit
of his arm is a minister of the city and
he is but one of several who have so
disinterestedly given of their life to
help prolong that of another.
