A Good Snorer.

Gen. George A. Sherman, was journeying from Boston to Washington in a sleeping car, where he had a whole section. He was sitting on the lower birth in the morning, about to put his shoes on, when he was accosted by a kindlooking old gentleman opposite, who was also putting on his shoes, with the inquiry: “My friend, are you a rich man?” George" looked astonished, but answered the pleasant-faced, tired-look-ing, gentleman with a “Yes, lam tolerably rifih.” A pause occurred, and then came another question: “How rich are you?” George answered: “About seven or eight hundred thousand dollars. Why?” “Well,” said the old man, “if I were as rich as you say you are, and snored as loud as I know you do, I would hire a whole sleeper every time I traveled”.
