HOTEL MYSTERIEs.-"W ia it,"
asked the man with the sample case,
"llat III the average hotel, the shortest
man IS always set down at the end Of
tho table, where there is nothing and
where he can reach nothing elsc?'
"And why,' asked the sud passen-
gcr, ''is the waiter always tluttcrinn
over some deliberate, lussy old cor
mand, who is going to stop over three
days anyhow, when YOU have only
fifteen minutes and then have to rlr,
for your train?"
"And why" asked the tall, thin
passenger. "is the black pepper cruct
AWAY III tho castor on the next
tuble?"
"And why is it always empty when
you get it"' asked tho cross passcn-
ger.
"And why" asked tho fat passcn-
ger, $40 the two young married pco-
pic who sit opposite YOU always stop

".And why," asked the brakeman,
coming IN to light the lamps, "tioesn't

"And why" suddenly said the wo-
man who talks bass, "don't men over
talk scnsc?"
The peaceful silence came driftinp
into the car, noiselcssly as FundV
log, until the cur was full it. And
thcse questions arc answered conun-
drums even unto this day, especially
tho last one.

TIE lRRErREssIBLE MAcKEY.-It is
related that a few days ago Judge
Mackey was sitting in tho gallery OF
the Senate at Washington, when a
sharp-tnced, razor-strap-looking fellow
SAID to him. "Mistcr, can you point
ont to me. that internal Hamburg mur-
dcrcr, Butler, Of South Carolina ?''
Certainly" said tho polite iudoe,
"Don't you see that bald-headcd man. y
pointing to Senator Edmunds: "wcll,
that Is Butler, Of South Carolina" Tho
eyes of tho Yankee were lighted nm
with Indignation as hc replied, eyes,

thousand--adding a good deal tbat
was not complimentary to tho distin-
Snlshcd Vcrmontcr. When Senator
Hampton, told this joke on Mr.. Ed

FACTS ABOUT LOCOJTOTIVSE

Giles been in the dumps because
his locomotive has been of for three

tho union depot the other dav, as he
pointed to an engineer WHO looked as
sour as any dyspcptic.
GLOW oT?'
"Go and ask him."
1t took Il quarter Of an hour and q
cigar to clear the cloud from the en-
ginccr's face, and thcn in reply to the
query he said:
"lt is queer thing. There's my
engine, one Of the best on the road, in
perfect order, only twelve years old,
and able to run or pull with the best of
them: a month ago hadn't the least
bit OF trouble in making time, no mat
ter how the track was or the weight of
the train. She was ready at the word,
held her steam beautifully. and she
seemed to understand every word I
said. To-day she is down in the
round-houSc, growing and suffering
and acting rs if she wanted to pick 4
fuss with a gravcl-pit."
"Anything ont OF gcarW
"Not a thing. Shes been looked
over twice, and we can't find tic least
excuse for her conduct. She'll gct
over it in Il day or two, perhaps. Ii
she don't We'll punish her"
GLOW 7"
"Put her before freight or stock
train. Ivc seen it tried dozen times,
nnd 1t most always worked well.
iAcrc she is now, bright as Il new dol
lar and as handsome as q picture, and
Ill bet $50 there isn't the least thing
out OF order. She's simply sulling,
the same as child or Il woman, aud /
know what started it. Three weeks
ago, while OH my run in with the
night express, she just wanted to light
right out for all she was worth. She
took The bit like Il running horse, and
If hadn't chokcd her off she'd have
beaten schedule time by forty min
utes. She acted mad right away, and
in running twenty miles she gave nc
moro trouble than I ever had with her
in q race of three hundred. She lost
steam, tried to foam over, chokcd her
pipes, and when l wanted moro steam
she'd slide on her drives. She went
right back on me TINT night, and has
been sulking over since."
