Here he took a roll of bills from his

"Say, you feller," said the scraggy,

"Bur-Bur-Burlington," replied the
man shaking himself and stretching.

drummer. "Want to bet fifty dollars

"Tll bet you fifty dollars on it and

the man whom he had rudely awaken
ed from his luxurious dreams.
"1t's whack Here's your scrib-
blings." The drummer handed some
fives and tens over the seat and the
scraggy-necked man covered the
amount with a new, crisp fifty dollar
bill.

How CandOr Pays.

1--WE had better understand each
other" he said deprecatingly, as he
sauntered into the editorial room, "be-
fore we begin. I'm book agent"
Unmindful of the groans that met
this statement, he went on:
"I'm not q white-haired philan-
thropist from New Haven, who has
come south through sympathy for
your stricken people. Pm fair,
square, bald-headed book agent"
Encouraged by the reception OF
this frank avowal he took seat, and
dropping his feet in waste basket
said:
1'm not a retired clergyman who
seeks to scatter religious instruction
while he builds up his worn-out frame
in your balmy cline. I'm not al

"Here's candor at least" remarked
the young man who writes the pufls
of hardware stores.
"Yes; candor at best. Pm not 9

Beats Three Card Monte.


& O., between Omaha and Burling-
ton, one of the coaches contained an
extremely nervous, middle aged and
decidedly rural looking stranger
He wore pair of blue goggles, had
big mouth from which most of the
teeth had moved out, perhaps because
he had raised their rent, and long,
scraggy neck like boarding house
chicken. He spent most of his time
staggering along the car aisle between
his seat and the water cooler, and ex-
pectorating on such stray boots as
protruded a few inches into the aisle.
Occasionally he would fish up last
years newspaper and peruse indus
triously until the motion Of the train
shook his hat off, when he would in
voluntarily step in it, mop it around
on the floor few minutes and finally
replace it on his bald, irregular shaped
head.
"Where do | change cars for Quin-
cy?" he suddenly inquired of a COM
mercial traveller in the seat behind
him, who was wedged in with over
coats, travelling robes, gossamer rub
bers, and sample cases.
Burlington" replied the drummer
curtly.
"Sure pop, eh?" said the scraggy
necked man.
eyes, sir"
at kinder occurs to me | didn't
change cars at Burlington last fall"
"Well, that's the place now."
"'Tis, eh ?"
eyes, sir"
Then the scraggy-necked man un-
buttoned his grip sack and dug out a
railway guide, which document he
earnestly consulted for about fifteen
minutes, and made another trip to the
water cooler, reeled back to his seat
falling into an old woman's lap on his
way, begged pardon, was excused with
an icy smile, tumbled into his seat
and brown study.
Finally he again opened out on the
drummer
"Sure you amt mistaken about my
changing keers at Burlington ?"
"Yes; but if you have any serious
doubts about it, perhaps you had bet
ter ask the CONDUCTOR" replied the
drummer, his answer colored by a
slight tinge of sarcasm.
"Of course you'd ought to know.
Bin over the road before, eh ?"
"Well, ! should smile. But mebbe
| don't know what I'm talking about.
| go over this line once month, but
mebbe I'm off my kerbase."
"Well, well, that's all right. |
don't see as there's any kind of use
in getting your back up about it. I'm
a trihe rusty about travelling live up
in Nebrasky, and don't git out among
folks ofener'n twice in while. But
when l do travel / allus wants to
know where I'm bound and which
way I'm going. Good idee, eh?" and
the scraggy necked man punched the
drummer under the arms.
"That's all right" replied the
drummer, somewhat notified by the
scraggy-necked mans ingenious ia
miliarity, "but you can depend on
me. You change cars at Burlington"
"Sure-dead thing2"
"Yes sir rec! You can gamble on
it,"
"No mistaken"
mot in the least-bet your bottom
dollar"
Then the scraggy-necked man went
down again after his railway guide.
This last interview seemed to settle
the thing conclusively with him, for
he slapped the book together with a
bang, chucked it into his grip sack,
and again turned to his commercial
adviser.
81 believe you are wrong" he said
gently, "bet you s25 you are wrong"
