A STREET CAR SCENE.
How a New Orleans MAN Created COnster-
nation Among the Passengers.

Recently a man dressed in good clothes, an
eye-glass and gold mounted cane, and pos
sessing altogether rather clerical appearance,
hailed passenger street car. There was
| nothing unusual or particularly noticeable in
this, except the air of lofty dignity with
which he commanded halt, and the desper-
ate effort which he made to maintain his cen-
tire Of gravity IS he passed the car re-
vealcd the fact that he was slightly inebriated.
Arriving at the door, he solemnly raised his
right foot to enter, but not raising it high
enough he fell headlong on the floor of the
car. Raising himself up with some difficulty
he cast severely reproving ook at the old
gentleman near the door and said:
'Sir, what d'yOu lift this car for just as |
was goin' to get in?"
ssMy dear sir, didn't lift the car" replied
the old gentleman, meekly.
''Well, perhaps you didn't. I won't tempt
| to argue with man i'll your condition. Ny
amiable friend, it is my firm and deliberate
'pinion you've been looking upon the wine
that is red. Very sorry to see it in a man If
your age. What dye s'pose your mother
would say if she would see you intossicated?
My friend, l have shed many bitter tears over
| such cases as yours. Yes" continued he, in
| ialtering voice, ''and Pm blessed if amt
weeping now, as you readily observe"
Whereupon he wiped his eyes with a grand
| flourish, blew his nose and navigaLed 10 the
other end of the car. When he reached his
destination he pulled the bell strap and start
ed for the door. When he got about half way
and just as he was in front of a lady, he
tripped and fell at full length on the floor.
Raising himself to perpendicular, he turned
to the lady, and, in tone of mingled sever
itv and whiskey, said:
"Madam, you've certainly got the biggest
feet ever saw in my lfe."
''Sr!" said the lady, Indignantly.
90, don't pologize, madam. beg you not
o 'pologize. You're not to blame for it. But
if you would just pare 'em down little
ilwoud be great 'commodation to the trav-
cling public"
The lady was speechless with indignation,
the passengers were convulsed, and the gem
tleman stalked majesticaly out to the door,
stepped to the ground and Immediately sat
do Tn. AS the car moved away he arose, ex-
amined his clothes, looked up and down the
street, waved his hand in an uncertain man.

"How could l leave my Jeddy?" she whis-

husband. awe all go home, take the colt

"Dont you enter complaint against

''No, guess not. You see, Hank is kinder
squar' and honest, and Mary is willin' to
make up, and though Pm perfect fiend
when T. reused guess it's my duty to forgive
'em both in this case"
The trio went out, eacr face as serene as a
June morning, and when Hank aud Jed de-
cided to take soma beer to brace up on, Mary
waited ON the corner and sang:
ssBe it ever so humble ar.
There's no place like home."

THE TRIUMPH.

dearest, do you know you grieve me,
More than can well express?
You are lovely, but believe me,
Something's wrong about your dress" "
Like kind, obedient lady,
Straight the good wife went, ween,
Robed herself in vesture shady,
Faced him in a sad sage-green.
Then she wore Jersey, fitting
Like an eel-skin all complete,
With skirt so tight that sitting
Was an agonizing feat.
Still she kept her temper sweetly;
And with aggravating smiles,
Dressed herself-and did it neatly
In mixture of all styles.
Modern, classic, Dolly Warden
Then she brought him to his knees
For he cried, ~ beg your pardon,
Dress in future-as you pleased"
