position the hctels were forced to make
new arrivals double up. A drummer
who was an inveterate practical joker
proposed to have room and bed to
himself. He suggested to his friend the
clerk that should any applicant for half
his bed prove persistent, he should be
told that the drummer was Just con-
valescent from smallpox. The drum
mer was aroused from the first deep

Hold on therep' he cried; didn't the
clerk tell you have smallpox YES"
!, replied the newcomer. drawing up the
covers, but that's all right-Ive got it
myself !" With yell the drummer
leaped from the bed, seized his clothes,
dressed in the hall and spent the night
in chair, longing for the morning SO
he could get himself disinfected. In
the morning he discovered that the
other man was a joker himself The
drummer was infuriated by such shabby
treatment.
