The simple fact that any marriage lasts longer than the honey- moon Is sufficient evidence that snor ing Is virtually unknown among re- spectable women.

Irate passengers often venture | the remark that the snorer ought to be seized and thrown off the car, but «a foolish sentimentality prevents the other passengers from putting so excel- lent a project Into execution. Not long Ago, however, a concerted attempt to suppress snoring was made in a sleep- ng car on a certain raliroad, with re- silts that are (ull of Instruction for all Among the passengers were several A sTucent Of tiieoloKy, and un extretue ly beautiful gir), trave.ng under the care of the conductor. On the frst 'night after leaving San Francisco a | terrible case of snoring was developed. + The snorer was appareutly occupying a berth near the middle of the car, and bis snoring was 20 loud and deep that it partiglly drowned the noise of the train. The outrage was endured for some hours, when fually one of the miners announced that “thishyr thing had gone far enough,” and thereupon arose and called on his comrades: to join him. They did so, and, proceed- ing to the berth from which this snor- ing seemed to come, they threw aside the curtains aud roughly dragged out [the astonished theological student. {Charged with persistent and intoler- { able snoring. he did not deny his guilt, but listened In silence to the abuse heaped upon bim, and made no re- sistance when he was hustled to the , extreme end of the car, and placed in a seat with a miner sitting next to him, and pledged to watch him all night and “puncan” him the Instant he j should attempt to resuwne sporing. | Pleased with the success of their ae- | tion, the miners, with the exception |ot the self-sacrificing man who had undertaken to watch the sporer, re- turned to their berths, amid the grate- | pul applause of the other passengers | For a time the car was silent, but be {fore very long the snoring broke out | again, as loud, as deep and as madden- | ing as ever | It was evident that the miner on {guard over the culprit had fallen {asleep and neglected his duty. The {other miners turned out again, re- solved this time (0 wake up the sporer 80 thoroughly that a repetition of his jerime would be Impossible. To their { surprise, they found him wide awake {and perfectly silent, and It was clear that the car contained a second |sporer. As before, the sound seemed (to come from the middle of the car, j and when the miners had satisfled themselves as to the precise berth from which the snoring came, they pulled out the culprit with more violence than {they had pulled out the theological | student. To thelr unspeakable horror { they found thal the snorer whom they | had so rudely handled was none other | than the beautiful young lady from San Fraacisco Over this awful scene It is well to draw a vell. It Is proper, however, 0 add that the theological student con- fessed that he had refrained from de- pyiag that he was the snorer, solely in order to protect the youug lady. Buch chivalrous conduct is worthy of the highest praise, and the Incident should teach us that, contrary to the view upheld Ly a great American story writer, all the chivalry in the world 1s not mopopolized by miners and pro- fessional gamblers. —N.
