An Astoria woman had the temerity
to sleep alone in house that her fam
ily had Just moved out of, and the only
article of furniture left was a folding
bed. Just her luck, the bed folded up
on her during the night, and she had to
fight her way through the springs and
Stats at the bottom. A folding bed
seems to be the only thing that will
shut UP some ladies. Salem Journal.
