MAKING Him Comfortable.

A drummer put up for the night In

His room was under the roof. In the
middle Of the night, awakening from
a dream that he was being drowned.
he found a terrific thunderstorm in
progress and the rain streaming in on
him through a leak.
"Landlady! Landlady" he yelled.
And in reply to his yells the old
landlady staggered upstairs and into
the room with a big washtub. She
pumped the washtub down on top of
the drummer, who gave a grunt OF
surprise and pain, and then she said
as she turned to depart:
