SLEPT LATE THAT MORNING
Traveller in Sleeping Car Had His
Own Reasons for Not Wanting to
Turn Out Early.

4 certain wel-known local artist
who threatens dire d0ings if we use
his real name and who is in position
to make good-Was returning to Cleve-
land from Columbus the other night.
He had a lower berth and when he re-
tired he noted that there was nobody
in the berth above him.
The evening was Chilly and our friend
soon perceived the need of another
blanket. He thought of the berth
above, reached his hand up and pulled
a blanket down. 1t came hard, but he
got it; and in few minutes he was
comfortably asleep. But not before he
had wondered what made the blanket
80 nice and warm around the neck.
There's no use in trying to work up
to a climax in this yarn. The man
from whose sleeping form that blanket
had been dragged awoke with loud
complaints later in the night And his
words were so violent that our artist
friend feared to get up in the morn
ing, until all but him had fed, as the
old song hath it.-EXchange.
