The stor.V of the drummer who went to bed with the rorrtfP is familiar to j nearly every traveling man In Indianap olis, but it is not geiuMr.ll, Known that the hero of thai experience lives In tlii town. It Is a fact, nevertheless, and his name Is II. D. Hurgheiin. In 1S77 Mr. llurhelm traveled for a wholesale inllllucry house located at Keokuk, la. Amnug the places lie visited was n village known as Mlltnii. located on the ('. iV M. road. One day while passing through the place he saw one of the proprietors of the hutel stand ing on the depot platform and told him to reserve the room he usually occupied, as he would return on the next train and spend the night there. It was ten o'clock when he reached Milton on the back trip nnd the town was dark nnd ap parently deserted Mr. Ilurghrim ex perienced but little difficulty in reach ing, the hotel. Tlnclerk had gone to bed and Mr. Itiirgheini knowing per fectly well where the room was located decided not to arouse him. He found the door unlocked and was somewhat surprised to find the room already oc cupied. The man was in bed nnd to all appearances sound asleep. llurghcitu decided thatthe hotel must be crowded, and for that reason it had been found necessary to give him a roommate. He knew the man was all right or the landlord would not hne put him in there, so he quietly removed his clothes and climbed into bed. carefully drawing' the covers about him so as not to disturb his bed fellow. He was just getting comfortably fixed when the door opened and a young man and young woman entered. The roan lighted the lump and without even looking at the bed sat down on n chair and pulled the young woman onto his lap. There was billing and ccoing, and kisses with out number. After watching the in teresting scene for about live minutes Hurghcim came to the conclusion that his bed fellow would enjot it and he tried to arouse him. lie punched him in the ribs tw or three times, but the fel low never so much as grunted. He (hen reached over with the intention of tak ing him by the arm. In some manner his hand came in contact with the man's face, and it was as cold as ice. In an instant it flashed over Hurghcim that he was in bed with a corpse. The very idea of the thing was. horrible to con template, and without stoppiug to think he uttered a frightful yell nnd leaned out onto the iloor. To sav that r,h for the office pursued bv Iturc- heim, who was as badly frightened as they were. The veils aroused every- body in the hotel, and it was an hour before the place quieted down again. The trouble was caused bv the pro- prietor of the hotel who had neglected to inform his partner that the room had been engaged by Hurghcim. One of the guests of the house had died during the day, atd the partner plactd the body in the room Burgheim had engaged. The young people who were having such a nice time when Hurghcim jumped from the bed hud gone there for the purpose of sitting up with the corpse. They were under the impression that the man had suddenly come to life and of course they were badly frightened. The young woman fainted, nnd as for Hurghcim he found it necessary to take several bracers before he could summon up courage enough to retire to bed. He occupied another room and half a dozen people sat up with the corpse. Indian apolis Sentinel. TWO CROWNS OF IRON. One Made of tinn 3IntaI and One Car ries a Nail from the Cron. The crown of Kounmnin h; composed of gun metal made, in fact, out of n bit of old cannon captured nt Plevna; that of Portugal has gems in it which have caused it to be valued nt $5,000,000. The iron crown of I.ombardy, which, by the by, is the oldest diadem in Eu rope, is only ix inches in diameter. The question usually nsked by those who behold it for the first time is: Where is the iron? For to all appear ances the crown consista of n broad circle of gold ornamented by un enam eling of flowers. This, however, is but the outward case within the coronet rests the iron itself. It in fashioned out of one of the nails by which Christ was fastened to the cross. The crown now rests in the Cathedral of Monza, Italy, and is under tho enro of the uionks of the establishment. These holy men call nttcntion to the fact that while no attempt hns ever been mado to clean tho baser metal, r.tlll there Is no sign of rust upon it a fact which con clusively proves itfiencrcd origin.
