HIRAM EVIDENTLY A SN0RER
Faithful Wife Thought She Rec
ognized Porcine Lamentations as
Made by Her Lord and Master.

An amazingly fat couple boarded a
sleeping car just before the train
pulled out of the Pennsylvania station
in New York. and soon retired. the
woman taking the lower berth and the
man the upper of a section. 1T was
necessary to enlist the aid of the por-
ter and a couple,~of friendly passen-
gers TO enable the man TO attain to
his lofty couch, but it was accom-
plished and the car presently became
quiet.
Some time during the night the
train was held up on a siding and, as
it happened, the sleeping car was
stopped right alongside a car loaded
with uncomfortable and loudly protest
ing hogs, the noise of whose lamenta-
tons assembled TO the stars.
ooh. Lord - the occupant Of the low
or berth was heard to moan. "Just
listen to that. Hiram has started to
snOrin' and / can't get up there to
make him turn over"
