can toll just how to climb upon a roof

lire. You must jump out of a warm
bed, don't stop to put your clothes on
as it is hard to climb a roof if you have
on too many clothss, slash water over
tho roof, put out tho lire, then bavo
your clothes thrown up on tho roof
and gat into them as soon us you can
for a follow gots cold on a roof with the
wonther nt zero. Dr. Morrison says ho
was so absent ruindod that ho thought
ho had on his clothes until he got
across tho street, and than to his mind
camo tho idea that some ono was out
too early or perhaps he had what is
sometimes called a nighthorso. It is
all right doctor. When n man has to
bo up into nights he is liable to havo
most any old thing.
