THE UGLY MAN.
How Puggles Cornered a Party
of Would BE Washers.

Now 1t came to pass that the tram ltdl
gopth by steam and rli,leth along TWO rails
Of iron did WHOM along Eliza Jane; and
within il sat many and divers persons
from all tribes and from all lands, whose
raimpnt was not alike and neither their
uahits. For some did lop over two seats
and SPIT tobacco III the aioles, and others
1id east lhrir gaze without the windows
and view til" strange lands with wonder.
.And til" peanut boy did wander up and
down seeking whom he might dcvour.
Aud tnc fit Woman with the pug-Mosed
baby did finally overcome her modrsty
ana did give unto The babe that for which
he yelled, which the same Was hid under a
shawl Ot many coIors.
And in the ''smokcr' there We're gath
cred together Il party of travelling men
who did Amoke and sing songs OF great
gIadncSs and did take cough mixture out
oi the sample case OF liquor man. And
thry did boast OF their mashes, and did
poke one another III the ribs and did pull
out photographs and did compare them
(and the same had they bought at book
stores, Yer gave they not the snap aWay.J
And one did say: Woe unto the village
maiden who gazelh upon me, fer my hair
naIgeth in ringlrts, aud my teeth arc as
the pearls of Ophir (ky.) Mine eyes me
like unto the lightning, and my limbs are
>hapely as the cellars of Lebanon, and
" hen open my mouth to speak the tahy
,tippeth down as diipprth the sugar-housc
mota>,"s barrel on II hot day."
''Now, this man who had spoken did
hail from lndianapoliS and was Il blow
narcl of great merit, and when Pnggles
(Which the same travelled for an EVANS
vile hous") did hear him, he set himself
about to put him to shame. Vet wot he
not how he would do this thing, for Pug
gle, was not handsome nor was he a mash
rr Of nrrit. And while vet he WAS Think
nlg within himself a woman did yet upon
ihc train and did HE herself unto seat IN
,hr last car. And ,hr saw not the party
of travelling mon, but when PuggIes' eye.
fell upon her a orpat smile did come unto
. Il
Aud " hen the Indiauauoljs man and the
rest did see her. they did p;izr with de-
light, tor she WAS fair to look uDon and
colDrly 10 the sjvht. And with one ac-
cord they said; "Ain't ehe A daisy? Wou-
/ Her vh0 She Is: Wonder if she * on the
