Uncle | Siori/j^ PERVERSITY OF THINGS UJT BEATS all how fate puts a * crimp in a man's fondest ambitions," said the retired merchant. "It* eently I have been hungering for an/ eld-fashioned boiled dinner, compose.! of corn beef and all the standard vegetables. I men- j tioned the matter J several times, and think of anything else for three days. And when the meal was dished up I 'had an attack of jumping toothache, and was jumping over the chairs with i my head under my arm." "That's always the way in this | world, doggone It," commented the hotel keeper. "Just as sure as you look forward to something you're going to run up against a disappointment that will break your heart. "Last week I had so much business ! was on my feet day nnd night. I didn't get any sleep to speak of for several nights, and my eyes felt like bard-hoiled eggs. I was just dead on my feet I was so played out. I looked forward to the time when I could saw off a few lengths of slumber just as you looked forward to that boiled fodder." "At last things slacked up and I went up to my room at seven o'clock in the evening, prepared to sleep round the clock, or as much longer as 1 felt necessary. I was so drowsy I could hardly see to get my rags off, and I heaved a sigh of relief when I crawled in between the sheets. But before I had been there three minutes old Jlggleson came along with his ' brass band and began playing selections under my window. The congressman from this district was occupying the room next to mine, and those locoed musicians were serenading him, probably hoping to be appointed postmaster before long. Tbey played ev- ' ery blamed tune you ever heard of, and I had to leave my own room and go to one at the back of the hotel. "That room hadn't been nsed for a long time, and things weren't In good repair. I climbed into the bed and was snoring a few quotations from the classics, when all the slats came down at once and I landed on the floor on my ear with my feet up on the foot nf tho hpd T thought mv back was broken irj. three places, but I managed to get up. and then I hiked back tc my own room. I had left the window pen when I yelled at Jiggleson and threw some furniture at his musicians, and I was so sleepy I forgot to close It. "The bed was right up against the window, and I was just getting asleep once more when it began to rain. About forty gallons of water blew in on me before I could get the doggone window closed. I had to rustle around for a dry night shirt and some sheets and things, and by that time I was pretty near desperate. I don't know of anything more aggravating than to be dying for a good old-fashioned aleep and then be unable to make con* nections. "At last I got into bed again, all snug and comfortable, and was doing some ground and lofty sleeping. Then along came a guest who mistook my room for his own. which was on the floor above. It happened that his key fitted the lock of my door, so ho opened it and came in. When he saw me there he took me by the ankles and dragged me out onto the floor and sat on me, and asked me what in thunder I meant by ocupying his bed, for which he had paid in advance. It took ten minutes to make things clear to him, and by that time l ten use a ariveung iuiui. "Bat I had sense enough left to get back Into bed and make another try at sleeping. I had slept about twentywren watts when a big framed picture of my wife, which hung over the head of the bed. came down and mashed Itself on my face and put my aose out of Joint. Then I gave up. I put on my clothes and went downstairs and sat up all night, hoping the building wouldn't cave in on me. It didn't, and that was the only bit of hick I bad that night." Indefinite.
