HUMOROUS.

KlvERED CARS. Rs."-Archibald Hart,
mild-looking man from the West,
stopped off at Detroit while on his way
East. He only meant to stay four
hours, and to drink nothing but ice
water, but the first thing he knew he
was drinking bad whiskey and could
dimly remember that he had been there
two days. He didn't brace up and re-
pent, however. On the contrary, he
went from store to store and from house
to house asking people if they didn't
want to buy a horse. When asked
where his horse was he burst into tears
and replied:
Horse ish dead-horse ish dead -
A man can't pcddle dead horses
around Detroit great while without
stumbling against policeman, and the
good old man suddenly discovered him
self walking against time towards Il
station house.
" | should think you'd be ashamed
OF yourselfW said his Honor as the
prisoner came b.fore him.
"'Squar', am! l swan If don't
feel mean 'nuf to commit suicide
When | come to think of what an idiot
[ am don't even want to speak to my
selfl'
Do you want to 60 on2''
DO L? Waal, 'Squr', you just say
the word and I'll be in old Connecticut
as quick Us steam can take me -
You won't get drunk again in Cam
ada? ?" .
!" Me git drunk again Why, 'Squar,
when you hear of any more liquor
goln' down my throat you can expect
TO hear Gabriel's blast next thing No,
sir-ee-I've got drunk for the last time
on this earth -
His Honor told him to go, and the
old man never stopped running till he
reached the "kivered cars.'
My DEAREST Maria," wrote a re-
cently-married Brooklyn husband to
his wife. Size wrote back, " Dearest,
let me correct either your grammar or
your morals. You address mr, My
dearest Maria Am suppose you
have other dear Marias ?'

with the Wentworth-avenue line. and possibly
With that on Archer avenue. But, connected
with the former line. it will egive a through

MT. Hoinics went on TO say that the COMPANY
with which be is engaged is doing cyeryth,uu Il
can to meet the demands of the people OF the
South Side, and he felt that no complaint conld
be made OF the manner In which the travelling
PUBLIC il being transported. Ho hoped the dxY
would come when horse power would bo done
away With, but until then there could be no
materiai shortening up of time. The only way
to solve the problem Of transporting moro
people, As he had said above,
was to put on more cars; to carry them faster,
or at least enough faster to make material
difference in the rate OF speed, must be the re-
suit Of other means OF locomotion.. As the de-
mnnds Of the travelling public OF the South Side
increase, the Company builds new side lines and
puts on more cars. At present there is sufi-
Gent CARRYING capacity, and Mr.. Holmes does
not anticipate that 1t will be exceeded for years.
He says he appreciates as fully as can any one
the desrsbility of making onick journey over
the horse car lines, and bis company has done
everything It can to reach this end.
