A Sybarite.

In the gray light of early morning the traveler in Scotland faced the night clerk resolutely: “You gave me the worst bed In the inn!” he began, indignation in his voice and eyes. “If you don’t change me before to-night I shall look up other lodgings.” “There is no difference in the beds, sir,” the clerk replied respectfully. “If that is so,” he said, “perhaps you wouldn’t mind giving me the room on the left of mine?” “It Is occupied, sir.” “I know it is. By a man who snored all night, and was still at it ton minutes ago. His bed must be better than mine, or he couldn’t sleep at a maximum capacity of sound eight hours on a stretobr” “ftae beds are all alike, sir. That man has been here before, and he always sleeps on the floor, sir.”— Youth’s Companion.
