SOME NosE.-Last Sunday evening there was an
affecting little scene at the depot, in which a
smart little girl caused period of painful silence
between an agreeable young man and fastiiious
lady. The young man had just alighted from the
train, and, in going toward the ladies waiting
room happened to meet the young lady, who was
an acquaintance, and he stopped, shook hands
and smilingly passed few complimentary moth
ings Presently the little girl, not caring to remain
completely unnoticed, pulled the young mans
overcoat, and said: "HOw doc do, Mr.. Jones ?'
Jones isn't his name) and {he young man, inturn
spoke to the little child, saying:
"Why, how do you do; how did you know II was
meP
"0h, knowed It was 90; knowed 90 by 'oor
big nose"
That's where the painful silence came in.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact that we have good
soup-house in Canton there is occasionally a
tramp who forgets himself and goes back to the
old plan. One of them, an old, cross eyed fellow,
who needed soap and water and needle and
thread badly, knocked at Poplar street door last
Monday and, as the lady of the house appeared,
he lifted his hat and spoke
I'D like bite to eat, mum, if you please"
"There is a souphouse only a few blocks from
here where good soup is furnished to such asyou."
"Soup be anged, mum; soop, soop, soop ave
MT 'ad hanything but soop pass into my halimen.
tary canal for three weeks scoops good, mum; but
soop gtsmernotonousP Ps the measles; awfully mer.
notonous; can't you gimme a section of mince
pie or some cold wittles"
The lady entered the house, and soon returned,
handing him half a pie and a large piece of cold
meat and as he slowed it away under his coat
and started off he said:
"Good mornin', mum; good mornin' many
thanks"
And he went of and hid the pie and meat un-
der some old boards, and went back to the soup.
house for a warm meal.
