Just before the heavens opened and the
floods descended last Friday night a port
~ gentleman with a good liberal waist
measure reached a haven of rest free
from rain and stress of weather at the
corner of State street and Western ave-
nue. at the little L., A. & w. waiting
room. After catching his breath which
had preceded him by several feet he de-
posted his aldermanic proportions on the
settee and waited for the car Just then
something happened. A settee, like
stonedrag. cannot stand everything, and
the one in question was no exception to
the rule There was a moaning like the
wind whistling through the treetops, then
the seat board parted and our corpulent
friend found himself amidst the ruin
fat on the platform. An elderly lady
who was inside the waiting room, having
heard the crash, rushed out and said:
Did you fall?" Our fat friends looked
up and replied: mo, madam. am en-
gagged by the L., A. & w. to do this twice
day-afternoons at and again at 9.
am very glad that you enjoyed it,"
