SLEEP IN TENT IN
ZERO WEATHER
Cold Has No Terrors for Young Sons
Of F. F. Tillotson-Have Close
Call in Fire.

IL II hadn't been for cold feet, the
rillotson boys. sons of r. F. Tillotson,
assistant cashier of the Dime Savings
bank. would still be sleeping In tent
pitched in the back yard OF their home
al No. 100 Chandler-ave. The severe
temperatures or the early part of last
week gave both Jhe boys. Edwin, Ia
years old. and Robert, II years old,
Geld feet--not IN the slangy use of the
term but naturally cold tootsies, and
they heated soapstones to roll up In
the blankets at the foot OF their cots
in the tent, where. by the way. they
had slept nightly for over year. One
of the stones was heated extra hot
the other night and just after the
boys had rolled themselves up for the
night, they made a sudden jump into
the frosty air, upon seeing tiny flames
shoot up from the bottom or the cot.
Il was not many moments before the
bedclothes were In a blaze and the
boys had hard work TO beat out the
flames in a nearby snow bank. Beyond
destroying the bed clothing no harm
was done, but until new supply or
blankets can be purchased the boys
have had TO retire to their bedroom
In the house.
my sons enjoy sleeping In the open
air and did SO all last winter and sum-
mer and AGAIN this year" said Mrs.
Tillotson. They are both strong,
healthy boys, fond OF outdoor sports
and say they feel much better sleep
ing In the open no matter what the
temperature, than they do indoors.
They have plenty of warm blankets
for their cots in the tent and | made
them sort OF Esquimau hoods so that
when they get themselves rolled mp
and into their cots. they are quite cosy
and comfortable"
