: A Pullman Car Incident:

It was in \ Pullman "sleeper' between
Albany and Buffalo. Among tho passen.
g"rs were middle.aged couple, evident
" on their first journey, and 1 sour.faced
old maid, rather deesicated In her pener
al effect, who was travelling alone. The
couple had an upper berth, and the maid.
en- we'll stricken In years the upper berth
In the adjoining section. In the same car
were couple Of frol,csome youths, ready
for any kind Of mischief. Bed. time came.
and all hands retired. But the husband
could not sleep. Whether it was because
of the motion Of the cars, the noise or
the novelty Of the situation, he could not
tell, but try AZ he would, he could not
sleep. Atlength 1t occurred to him that
he was thirsty. The more he thought OF
it the more thirsty he got. So he called
the porter, who brought the ladder and
helped him down. Now, while he was
gone for the water, one Of the *'boys"
stepped out Of bed and shifted the ladder
70 that it rested against the berth in
which the ancient maiden was sleep
Ing, and then returned to his bed TO
note the result. In moment or two the
husband returned, and crept quietly
up the steps. anxious to make as little
noise as possible, 60 as not to awaken his
wife. The occupant Of the berth, thus
rudely intruded upon, awokc with start,
and screamed. The husband, supposing
It to be his easily frightened wife, tried
to reassure her, and said, 'It's only me-
"Only you, you old scoundrel," said the
venerable maiden, 'I'l teach you a les
son. and with that she seized him BY the
hair Of his head and screamed for help.
Then h1 howled with pain. Then his
wife, awakened by the noise, discovered
where her husband was, and raised her
voicesin lamentation, hcaping reproache
upon her faithless spouse. Then the
passengers all got up and demanded an
explanation of all the commotion, and
foremost among them the wretch who
had caused it all. Then the husband,
covered with confusion. and utterly un-
able to account for what he had done,
climbed down from bis perch and slonk
away to bed, where he was st,undly lee
tured for his faithlessness. Altogether it
was most uncomfortable though ludic-
rous situation, and the glances OF def
ance that were exchanged between the
wife and toe old maid all through the
next day were study. The cause of all
the trouble leaked out, but it never
reached the ears of those chiefly affected
by it.

"FROM THE EAST"

He was dapper little fellow, as tidy
as anew pin, and as he entered one Of
the ''sample rooms" ON Woodward Av-
enae, yesterday, the bar-keeper mentally
remarked, "That fellow will call fol
champagne" But he was mistaken: the
little fellow leaned over the bar and
said:
II want a tumbler twc-thirds full Of
water and some pieces OF pure ice in the
tumbler."
Itwas handed him and he asked:
"Do you ever have lemon about the
place."

"Well, gently squeeze one into the
tumbler.''

think Of it. Add spoonful of sugar.
While it was being added the little
man dropped on three kernels of coffee
and piece Of cheese, and then said:
"1f you keep Madeira, you can add a
spoonful"
The Madeira was added, the glass sha.

Sowing to the prevalence of malarial
diseases in your Western country, I find
it the best way to carry my own straw
with me. A fellah kinder hates to use
everybody's straw, you know, especially
out west here"
He pinned bis handkerchief under his
chin, brushed back his moustache anC
