A Slight Mistake.

The brakeman opened the door
and shouted out Shoveltown," as
the train drew up at country sta
ton. The only passenger who step
ped down and out was an elderly fe-
male, who, the moment she struck
the platform, started off up the road
in style which intimated that she
reckoned she knew where she was,
anyhow. She hadn't got more than
twenty steps off, however, before a
young man, who occupied seat di.
rectly behind the one she had just
vacated, bounced to his feet, as if a
bombshell had hit him, seized a rusty
looking black valise from the rack
above his head, shot for the door
like rocket-stick, jumped down on
the platform, and vociferously yelled,
"Say, madam, you've left your bag"
The elderly female turned around to
look, but just then the train started,
and the young man, dropping the va
lise like hot potato, jumped aboard
again and resumed his seat.
Presently there came in from the
smoking-car ahead snutfy-looking
old man, in home-spun suit and
spectacles. "Now,' said he," l won
der what's become of my valise?"
The young man felt fidgety, and
was suddenly attracted by the rare
beauty of the landscape without.
"Anybody seen valise that | lett
in this 'ere rack?" continued the
man in the home-spun, anxiously.
The youth saw that he'd gone and
done it. There was no alternative
but to own up.
Why" said he, "was that yomr
valise? l thought it belonged to the
lady that got out at the last station.
She went off and left it. ran after
her with it."

Didn't Find Richmond.



A dozen or more idlers around the
Central Market were yesterday tax
ing deep interest in war map pub
lished in New York daily paper
when Brother Gardner, an old color
ed man, pushed his way into the
throng and closely studied the mar
for minute or two.
"Whar bouts on dis map is ole
Virginny?" he suddenly called out
at isn't on there at ALL" answered
one of the crowd.
"Whar bouts on dis map is Rich
mond?" continued Gardner, running
his finger over the paper in wild
way.
"How do you expect to find Rich
mond on this map of Europe?" ask
ed bystander.
"How do 1 'spect? Why, sab.
what has de map of Europe to dc
without Richmond? Wasn't than
more fightin' 'roun' Richmond dan
you could scare up in Europe in ten
years? Have dey gone an ignored
dat fact? Have dey got out a map

Somebody find de town for me, and
I'll show you de exact spot where ]
was hit in de chin by a cannon ball,
an wounded all to pieces"
"Go away-this is war map OF
Turkey and Russia"
"Widout any Richmond on it?"
"No, sir-there isn't any Richmond
here"
"Den Pm gwine right away

Didn't Stand the Test.

A young man read in a paper few
days ago that if you wanted to find
out if the woman you had selected
for your future spouse had a good
temper, you ought to take occasion
to step on her dress, or snap the
sticks of her tan, or in some way an
noy or .discompose her. eff" said
the great authority who presides
over the column Of advice, "she be-
trays no sign Of ill-temper, she will
prove a model wife," Accordingly,
the young man seized an opportunity
when his sweetheart was rugged IN

"The ID you did!' continued old
Homespun, aghast. elm the Rev.
Hezekiah Holloway, all the way from

sermons into it,"
For minute or two. reader, there
was scene in that car, you may de-
pend upon it. But when they reach.
ed the next telegraph station, dis
patch came that the woman didn't
own the bag, and wouldn't own
such bag, nohow," and the Rev. H.
