A SURPRISE FOR THE SLEEPER.
On a west-bound train, scheduled for a long trip, a very large, muscular man fell asleep and annoyed all the passengers by snoring tremendously. Reading, conversation, or quiet rest was au impossibility. Finally, a drummer, carrying half a lemon iv his hand, tiptoed over to a little boy who sat oehind the snorer. "Son," said the drummer, impressively, "I am a doctor, aud if that man doesu't stop snoring he'll die of apoplexy. Watch your chance, aud as soon as his mouth opens a little wider lean over and squeeze this lemon into it."
