FOUND HIS TROUSERS IN USE

Incident That Probably Would Have Embarrassed Anybody But a Citizen of Pittsburgh. A Pittsburgh man who frequently goes to Columbus, representing a boiler concern, had an adventure recently on that home of adventures—a Pullman car. He had taken an upper berth. At the time he retired the lower berth was unoccupied. But before the night was far advanced a woman took the lower berth. Just before he went to slumberland the Pittsburgher hung his trousers over the edge of the berth so as to keep them as smooth as possible. When he awoke he started to pull his trousers up, but there was a tug in the other direction. He pulled again and was again resisted. Finally he discovered that the woman had taken his trousers for a part of the draperies and had pinned to them all of her extra and extraneous hair. Gallantly he waited until she had detached her tresses, after which the trousers were made to serve their natural purpose.— Columbus Dispatch.
