4 few days ago a couple of young
bloods entered the smoking car of p,
w. &, b. Il. Il. train and tried to turn
one of the seats before sitting down.
The seat was locked, but the bloods
didn't mind that. and one of them took
out his knife and picked the lock.
While he was at work an elderly gen
tleman, seated behind the bloods,
quietly remarked that they ought not
to do that.
"Ihat's all right, old man, returned
the blood, "we know what we're about,
50 Just keep your clothes on
"Don't you know that you are liable
to prosecution for that? q continued the
old gentleman, mildly. Its the same
as burglary in the eyes of the law. If
YOU want the seat turned ask the con
ddctor and he will do it for you"
"You talk as though you knew

looking up with a sarcastic smile. How
long have you been in the railway
business?'

gentleman, gently.

you.
The young blools took the rear car,
while the passengers smiled.-'h.,lrr

quarters, could have imagined they
were the same beings who seemed so
woebegone during the day .-ChaD,5er'S
