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.
"I don't like io throw bouquet* at
siyself. but 1 must say folks arc
afraid of riv drive."

"The sparrow soon adapts itself to

"What new?"
"Saw one downtown today which
was building a nest of burnt
matches."
