AS YOU LIKE III.

There was one man on. the Woodward
avenue car the otner rainy morning who
felt as if the weather couldn't be abused
enough.
"Don't you hate such weather as this p
he asked OF portly acquaintance op-
posite.
"No, sir," was the decided response;
81 DON'T bother about the weather. Il
it's fair, all'rgh; itirs foul, all right"
but you Can't ike such morning as
this2'
IT'S just as good for me as any other
sort % morning." was the calm reply.
"And you like to see rain and mud
and slush, doyou?'
yes, l am perfectly satisfied"
. The grumbler Was out OF patience, but
he secured revenge sooner, than he
hoped Tor. In getting off the car the fat
man slipped and sprawled at full length
in the mad, to the intense delight OF the
other, who rushed to the platform and
shouted:
"Don't say word-its' one OF your
kind ofm6rnings! fit was one OF my
mornings you'd have lallen on.a bed OF
nice, Clean, soft white, beautiful snow
Stand up, tall look at you!'
The tat man stood up: He was mud

self and then at the car, and leebly said
