RAILROAD GUIDE.

Yesterday afternoon young man,
whose business it was to sell railroad
guides to any one who would buy,
found a Jefferson avenue clothing
dealer sitting i'm an arm chair in front
OF his door, and after kindly saluta-
ton, the agent handed out his book
and said: 80
"There is the handiest little book in
the world. 1t contains the name, e,time
table, and route of every railroad in
the county"
"I never buys such kind of pooks,
said the dealer, as he glanced through
it.
"But You want that pamphlet, my
dear sir. You look like a man who
travels around considerable, and no
traveller can get along without one OF
these guides"
81 don't gare to guide no railroad, y
said the dealer, shaking his head and
turning away.
"Hold on, now-just look through
it once. suppose, Tor instance, tnal
you want 10 go to New Orleans 2"
Il shall neffer go dere as long az
am born"
well, suppose you should want to
go to Omahar
sDen / don't go.'
sWhst do you do when you want ia
go, to Chicago !? asked the persistent
agent.

wouldn't you look a! a railroad time

Colds are bad things. and . severe |
cold requires severe remedy. but the
severest remedy experienced by NOR |
tal man fell last week to the lot of
Sam Quilidriver, ,bookkeeper for Sand
sugar Il Co., wholesale grocers, and
he now swears thu all the consump-

MIA in the world won't scare him into
undergoing what he did at the period
indicated. Sam is very modest bach
elor-in fact, over modist-and has
nice suit of rooms in a fashionable
boarding house on the West-side and
Sam was recently the victim OF one OF
those severe colds which lay . man
fat on his back and make him wish
he had never been born. Wishing to
get rid of his cold-which stuck to
him like . dead beat to a free lunch
table-Sammy wrote to his aunt, liv-
ing few squares of, TO know what
he must do 10 be cured. Aunty, being
sympathetic, consulted a lady friend
who was something of e'medicine-
man" i'm petticoats, and the twain de-
eided that Sammy should have what
is called rum sweat species of
torture which consists of the victim
being-well! ah!-naturalized-or not
to put too fine point on it, stripped
to his peit, enveloped in a blanket or
two, seated on q cane-bottomed chair
over pan of alcohol, or other burn
ing fluid, to which q kind friend
touches o match at the word ''go," and
the victim stands it as long as he can.

the necessary preliminaries, retired to
an adjoining room and waited while
Sammy got ready, and then came in,
finding the victim over the caldron,
modestIy wrapped In the necessary
blanket, but blushing like girl. As
certaining that all was ready. Aunty
lifted just the edge of the blanket
struck a match and touched 1t to the
fluid. simultaneously there came
from the vicinity of that chair loud
"phut I" from the fumes OF the fluid
as they exploded, covering Sammy's
legs !; a screech from the lady who fired
the Ephesian dome, and q yell like q
Choctaw war-cry from Sammy, who
the next moment was CavOrting
around the room minus his blanket
and looking like peripathetic meteor
That being a part of the performance
not on the programme, the two ladies
struck up an hysterical yell, and
scrambled over each other. out OF the
door and down stairs, yelling "Fire =
