COMEDY.
and seeing the soldier sleeping with the helmet on demands the reason, which is given, and seeing the plight the soldier is in he orders the guard to remove it, but they also fail.

It now being his turn for examination, he explains to the doctor that he cannot get the helmet off. Calling the aid of his assistant

G. D. 1702. SCRATCH MY BACK. Price, $38.04.
Approximate Length, 317 feet.
A man is seen seated on a bench in a park reading a newspaper, when two boys appear, full of mischief, and begin their pranks by stealthily going up to him and dropping down his back a portion of itch pollen and running away.
The man soon begins to feel the prickly, irritating sensation caused by the pollen and starts rubbing his back against the bench. Finding that this gives him no relief, he starts away, sharking himself to get rid of the sensation. A step-ladder on which a man is standing cleaning a window forms an itching post for him to rub against. By rubbing too vigorously, he knocks down the ladder and the man.
Going on his way, he meets a man and a woman in earnest conversation, which he interrupts to ask the man to scratch his back, but receives a pounding instead. As this gives some relief, he accepts it with stoicism. He again starts on his journey, and sees a carriage waiting by the curb. His back again needs soothing, and to obtain this he rubs against the wheel, but the carriage starting off leaves him sprawling in the gutter; next he rubs against the curb.
"We next see him outside of a police station, where two policemen are comparing notes. He rubs himself against one of them, who is indignant at such treatment, and hauls him before the magistrate, who, seeing his plight, orders the policemen to give Kim a good scrubbing with brushes. They begin scrubbing him under the direction of the magistrate until they are utterly exhausted, to the great delight of the victim.
