Oscar Somnig bane sleepy, or so he said.
He disturbed the peace Of mind Of less i'm
perturbable New Workers by going to sleep
yesterday on a window ledge on the nine

Building Mr.. whiteheld Sammis was sitting
In his office on the fourteenth floor when
q man stepped In and asked:
ANY one asleep on your window SLIP
Il haven't noticed it, said Mr.. Sammis,
wondering whether the man was insane or
only a new kind OF book agent. The caller
explained that he was a reporter and that
some one was asleep on window ledge
was looking for him. Mr.. SaInnis was
anxious to see a man who slept on window
lodges at that altitude and took his aneroid
barometer upstairs. The man was finally
found on the nineteenth floor, 25os feet
up. The. window. Of room l,sl7 was the
outside Of, but the door to 1t was locked.
The explorers went into the next Office, and
when they announced their mission the
young lady stenographer was scared most
to death. Climbing out on the ledge the

After crawling inside the empty. office tho
reporter grabbed his legs and walked him.
What do you mean by loafng that way?'
demanded the reporter, seeing that the
man was a window cleaner.
@Ibane sleepy, said Oscar, alphabetically.
The news had spread about the building
by this time and had reached the ears Of the
head porter. He came hurrying upstairs
but found the window cleaner hard at work
and uncommunicative, and let him work.
"The same thing happened about two
years ago said Mr. Sanmis, but how a
man can sleep on the edge Of nothing twenty

"THE LORD HATES A LIAR"
Significant Sentence Painted on Pension
Commissioner wares Door.

Commissioner wares Door.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Commissioners
Of Pensions Ware, whose administration Of
the affairs Of his bureau has been remark
able for its originality has added one more
unique official act to the long list OF them.
Some time between half-past o'clock
Saturday afternoon and Q o clock this morn
ing the sentence, THE Lord hates liar, ="
in big, square letters, heavily outlined in
black, was painted on the door OF the Com
sioner's reception room.
MIR. Ware said this morning, when asked
about the new decoration, that he was
too busy to talk The clerks in the bureau
were not, however, and the fate Of many
an old soldier hung in the balance to-day
while employees OF the Office debated
whether the Commissioners intended the
sentence merely as a bit Of his own original
and copyrighted philosophy, an intin a
ton to visitors that the distance between
the Commissioner reception room and
his Satanic Majestys ante chamber was
not great, or a arning to his subordinates
that the tenure of public Office is brief
and uncertain and that the chances OF
official longevity are not enhanced by a
forked tongue.
The knowing ones In the Pension Bureau
think that the Commissioner will explain
his views on the sub ect In chunk OF Kan
sas poetry before very long. According
to one authority the same maxim Ii painted
on the walls OF Mr.. Wares Office In Kansas.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 19.-Four big

q seven ton boiler. The boiler was being
taken to the Baldwin street freight yards
from the Rocksprtng Brewery at Highland

OF the steep Highland Park hill was reached
the men on the truck stopped the team
and got out to brace up the truck, 80 1t would
not move down the hill too fast. A whifIie
tree CHANGED to strike the heels OF one Of
the wheel horses. and they plunged for
ward.
once started, It was impossible to stop
the team. The horses dashed down onto
the bridge, while people who saw them
rushed on ahead. warning everybody to
get out OF the roadway. Fortunately the
drawbridge was closed and there were no
trolley cars on the bridge to complicate
things. The great boiler went across the
bridge almost as swiftly as a railroad train.

ing every moment to overturn.
The leaders turned into Peace street,
where the roadway is only twelve feet wide.
They made the turn neatly, bringing the
truck around on two wheels without 30
much as touching a curb. The turn checked
the speed Of the truck and the horses slowed
down. The leaders broke away from the
wheelers, ran about half block and
stopped Of their own accord.
II was found that practically no damage
had been done. The truckmen were able
to resume their journey Immediately.
