had erred, and hastened to repair the
break with n-o-u-g-h-s, nose, gay, gay,

Az exchange says The man who car
ries the mail at Union City from the
| trains to the Office is q clever fellow, but
absent-minded. The other night the
train was late, and he reclined on the
floor, pillowing his head on a dog, while
he held the mail bag in his hand. When
the train came in he awoke, gave the
mailbag kick, and seized the dog by
the cuff of the neck and tail and started
for the mail car. The messenger told
him the dog was not properly stamped.
A FARMER named Gunkle went to
! Woodville, a village near Dayton, re-
Gently, and during the course of the day
managed to become very drunk. In that
condition he started for home, taking
the railroad track. After little walking
he laid down on the track and went to
sleep. A passenger train came along at
full speed, running over and mangling
him in frightful manner, there being
scarcely two parts of the body left to-
gether. He was widower, with large
family, and was about 40 years of age.
No blame attaches to the railroad en-
ployes, who did their best to stop the
train when he was discovered.
