A Noble Liar.

One of the dozen passengers on a Wood
ward avenue car suddenly remarked that it
was an awful snow storm, and that he never
saw so much snow on the ground before
"Pooh" exclaimed little whiftet OF man
in the corner; "this is no storm at all Why,
in Omaha have seen folty-seven feet ofsnow
on the ground at once" ,
Buried in the town, didn't .?" qucired
the man opposite.
"Of course it buried the town, but that was
all right. We dug out the snow and lett
crust, as sort of sky, and in three days we
had summer weather down there Roses
bloomed, peach trees blossomcd, and the boys
went in swimming, the same as in July Don't
YOU talk to me about such storms as this!"
"W-what became of the crust?" gasped a
man at the front end of the car.
"Its hanging up there yeti" replied the no.
BILE liar, land the man who doubts my word
wants to step off the car for half minute"

they can. But when young fellow that

many calls before give him to understand
that he isn't wanted around my house tell
the girls, too, that they shall not have any
