An incident, n somewhat ludicrous
one. toq, Of the lire at the Hagers
town hotel, has bidet) told ns by one
who was there ami who literally
“barely” escaped with his life, lie
is a traveling man. Being suddenly
awakened that night by a bright
light shining in his face, lie discov
ered t hat. the window frame of his
room, on the third floor, was otic
blaze of flame, and that the apart
ment was rapidly tilling with smoke.
He at mice left, how he knows not,
lint filially succeeded in reaching the
ground by a jump from a second-
story window.. When safely landed
he stood watching the work of de
struction, and near bv him- were a
group of very thinly-clad females
also gazing.
While thus standing he noticed a
party of firemen hurrying past with
a quantity of feminine apparel. He
immediately, with that gallantry so
in keeping with a traveling man,
hailed the men with;
“Look here, you fellows, give these
ladies some clothes.”
Tim reply was in an instant:
“All right, stranger, we’ll do so;
but. don’t yon think it would he a
good idea to put. on a pair of spurs
yourself}’”
The last remark caused him to
investigate himself, when he found
that his whole cost ume was a shirt,
a vest, and a pair of gaiters, while
the real of his garments hung idly
over hiB arm. Our friend blushed,
sought a refuge, and pulled on his
i unit«.—Norristown I lent Id.
