Ing from Santa Barbara, Cal, said tina,
on his way TO Los Angeles he fell in
with couple Of lawyers OF that town
who were on their way back from Mon
Ierey. where one of them, al eNper'
golfer, had been attending tou,na-
ment M Han overheard a c0nyersa-
ton batwe them. 1t had a certain
local tnGe which interested him. The
younger man said that a few niglts
before he was stopping at the Hollen-
beck. There was door between his
room and the adjoining one. The door
was closed. but the trausum was open
The relator went 30 bed little before
midnight tir,d and sleepy Soon after
the occupant Of the next room came in
and began snoring before he was UNI
dressed, l. was when ne fell sound
asleep that he showed what he could DO
iq the way OF snoring ~ never heard
anything like it said the lawyer; "one
who. has time 90 listen 90 that Kind az
a Symphony would nave been gntrdae-
ed. That fellow would start off with a
gentle musical ripple, growing stronger
ana stronger Then there would be i
rushing sound ana boom that sounded
away Off. There weIe echoes and re-
echoes Amid II all VAS a noise like u
rush OF waters, ANA then a mighty
crash and roar That sEors was a his
tory o. the Niagara falls. After the
roar there would be a dad silence Of
maybe five minutes in which J INDUCED
a hope that tha last ungodly crash had
been fatal Th.n followed a series OF
srorts varying in volume. They wre

was merely tuning up. fayoring M
with a meaningless interludr. When
he got everything ready n started up
the songs of Niagara. / don't think

p!alnsd to the proprietor. He said he
couldn't keep guests from snoring
Heavens" said, that wasn't
snoring; that kind of racket is q
provocati1u of a breach OF the peace.
I've heard people snore ever since l can
remember. but there wasn't any malice
or method about it,.

Tor; hes going away today, you'll
have a. quiet night tonight
"'Who is that yociferous flend. any

Arizona, replied the proprietor
THE next night I went 10 bed early,
about O'Clock. ! don't know how long
! slept. but / half awoke with an Idea
nat the Holl5nbe was falling down.
There was cracking of timbers, a
crash of glass. brick, stone and iron.
When ! was Gully awake | became
aware that all the uploar was going on
in the next room. There was q snorer
for your whiskers. He made Frank Cox
look like thirty cents. I'll swear the
hotel seemed to shake The windows
ratified and the door shook. | longsd
for the harmonious tune OF Frank Cox
the night before. l believe IL after that
cannonading | could have heard his
systematic performance 1 would have
been lullcd to sleep His snoring was
only a peace ditsrubance; this one was
