an excursion party from that city. Soon
after the boat left Toledo, the steward
was approached by an excited individual,
who asked Kim If he was the captain.
The stewart replied in the negative, at
the same time giving his rank. I" Have
you the power to put a man out OF the
cabin?" inquired the stranger. We'll,
yes, if he is disorderly, have replied
the steward " Well, sir, look in here
and see them, will you?" said the strang-
err leading said official round to the
door. The steward looked in upon the
motley group, and replied that he saw
nothing out Of the way. You don't,
Ell? Don't you see man in there hug
ping a woman?" "Well, yes, replied
the steward, but what of that? Hasn't
fellow the right to embrace his wife?"
That's what want you to run him out
for" replied the stranger, dancing
around; "that's my wife, and I've stood
it 50 long that I've got mad?"
