 Romey Hoyt Romey Hoyt has fully Can Sleep demonstrated to the Anywhere. entire satisfaction of
 his friends that he can sleep any place where he lays down. It makes no difference to Hoyt if the couch is dony or if it is as hard as rock, for he sleeps just the same. In fact it is stated that he sometimes prefers to sleep on something hard rather tnan to take good bed when it is inn ediately at hand-but Romey doesn't know it when he does.
 Romey was one of bunch cOm- ing home from Nenana one night last week. The party stopped at Wood River when it got too dark to travel Some of the bunch went to bed in the boat and others did not go to bed at all but Romey, with some more, hiked mile and half up to the store, in the hopes of being able to get a bed.
 Arriving at the store, Romey ob- served only one bed. And it was already occupied by couple of would -have-been lot buyers. So, see ing nothing but the counter of the store at hand, Romey decided that he would take a sleep on it.
 But Romey didn't sleep much, for it was cold ana he didn't have any cover. And he was much cha erined to find the next morning, after daylight, that a look behind the counter on which he slept would have disclosed the whereabouts of nice spring bed covered by a wolf robe; a bed which had never been slept in.
