RINGING FOEs THE WAITER
HOY.

A good one is told of a Verdant
one who was passenger in rail-
road express train, and became
thirsty.
''Where's that ERE boy with the
water can ?" he queried of his next
neighbor.
'He has gone forward to the bag
gage car, suppose" was the reply.
"Wall, dye 'spose kin git him
back here again 2"
Certainly" said the other "you
have to ring for him :" and he nod.
ded toward the bell-Iine that ran
above their heads.
No sooner said than done. Before
anyone could prevent it, Rusticus
had seized the line and given it q
tremendous tug. The consequences
were at once obvious; three shriIl
whistles were heard, half q dozen
brakemeI ran to their posts, and the
train came to stand-still with q
audiences that startled half the
passengers with establishment, and
caused every man next to 3 window
to hoist it and look out to see what
was the matter.
In . few minutes the conductor,
red and excited, came running in
the car to know who pulled that bell
rope.
s'Here mister, this way; Pm the
man." shouted the offender, draw
ing all eyes upon him.
"You!" said the conductor, sand
" hat did you do it for p

and my paFdner here In the seat said

at the hotel, an so I yanked the bell
rope. Will he be along soon? An
by the by, what in thunder be you
stopping fort"
The shout Of laughter that greet
ed this honest confession was too
much fer the conductor, and ne had
to wait till he had got his train un-
der Wsy again before he explained
the mysteries OF the bell rope to
his EeFdant customer. = Boston
