LOVERS AWKWARD ESCAPADE

The strange story Of g soldiers ad-
venture was told the other day at a
Brentford (Eng.) court. Late at night
a constable found a man lying in the
front garden of a house in Twicken-
ham with his leg damned in the win
dow. Examinations revealed that he
had entered the premises by forcing
the scullery window, and that while
he was endeavoring to escape by the
front window the sash o and the
window descended on his foot and
held him fast. When arrested on a
charge OF attempted burglary the nan
was found to be a corporal in the East
Surrey regiment. Police inquiries
having substantiated his story that he
intended paying his sweetheart a sur
prise visit, but mistook the house, he
was discharged, but advised that in fu-
ture he should call on his sweetheart
earlier in the evening, and be quite
sure as to her place of residence.

were twelve ministers in one bedroom,
and one got into bed without saying
