Show Asleep Up a Tree. A Thames street woman had her curiosity curi-osity aroused Friday afternoon by some one snoring on her premises. She looked around for some time without finding the intruder" and at last discovered a stranger asleep in her cherry tree, hanging hang-ing on to tho limbs and trunk like a bat. His hat had fallen to the ground, but the man seemed in no danger of falling. The fact that ho had been stealing the cherries cher-ries was not to be considered. The only problem worth solving was the way to get this snorer to the ground whole. The young and strong men of the neighborhood neighbor-hood were called, ladders were arranged so they could get a holding grip upon him, and then he was awakened and helped to the ground. He was surprised to think he had raised such an excitement, excite-ment, expressed his thanks to his rescuers and retired in good order. Norwich Bulletin. |
