ed with being the originator Of tina,
yarn. He loves joke, and as he j:
known to almost every laiac, car
porter in the country, manages to
carry out the sell very successfully
whenever necessary. In case the
gentleman reaches the train late and
finds the lower berths occupied, he
hunts around until be finds a nervous
traveller in a place where he would
like to be himself. Then he calls the
colored porter, and asks him if he has
heard any further news from Rev.
Mr.. Smith. The reporter who is
posted, replies: You mean the po'
gemmen what you mashed de night
you fell froo de berth ? Yes. replies
the ponderous traveller, I've often
thought of that poor man, Jim. l
think l broke one of his ribs and one
of his arms, didn't I? Two ribs and
bofe arms sab, replies Jim solemnly.
And it was somewhere about this part
of the car, wasn't it asks the heavy
man loudly. No sab. says the porter,
you's thinkin' OBJ de two orphans
what you fell on dat night when we
was near Buffalo. If you remember.
sab, one boy died and de oder had
his eye squashed out. De preacher,
sab, was in de upper end OBJ de car. He
wouldn't get outen de lower berth,
sab. Unfortunate fellow, signs the
fat passenger, and l wasn't as heavy
by fifty pounds as am now, either.
BY this time you can depend that
the nervous traveller is getting his
pantaloons on. Usually he peeps out
and when he sees the mountain of
flesh that is talking he is more than
willing to take the upper berth than
to be crushed to death in the middle
of the night. It's a pretty good
scheme, and generally works to the
fat mans satisfaction. AS soon as the
other fellow finds out that joke has
been played upon him, he forms the
joker's acquaintance, and in almost
every instance that I've heard, the
friendship so strangely made is lasting,
because the fat man is one of these
jolly good fellows that nobody could
stay angry at for more than ten min
utes. There are lots of other incidents
that, if strung together, mig hit make
a good story, but as life is short and
time is precious, l think We had bet
ter leave the best ones for another
day.

he was brought around to the views
of the majority by the iudicious coun-
sci of his father coDfessor, and was
even led to take more decided step.
He has given his consent to relinquish-
ing all further intervention in the
concerns of The Casino, and in return
for this abdication his yearly pension
will be increased to 900. 600 francs.
The contemplated issue of the new
shares may be expected soon. The
date of issue will be settled at the
next meeting of the shareholders,
which will take place in Paris.
The magnificent Casino of Monte
Carlo is annually visited by an aver
age of 800, 900 foreigners, who play
more or less at roulette or trente- ct
quarante. and this number is steadily
on the increase. The impunity with
which gambling is carried on at
Monaco may be explained by the fact
that any attempt TO suppress it would
be equivalent to touching the prerOga-
tives of Charles III, and any such
departure would suscitate an "interna.
tional question" which neither of the
neighbOring powers is inclined to open
a question which, probably. would
lead to serious complications. More
over, the independence of the princi-
pality is fully assured by treaty.

Too Much Satan.

Wall Street News.
When the Pennsylvania oil excite.
ment first broke out a New Yorker
visited the neighborhood of what
was afterwards Oil City. for the Dur.
pose of securing slice of real estate.
He found farmer who was willing
to sell ten acres, but when it came to
the price the farmer remarked
My FREUD, are you praying man !!
Oh, yes.
Then you had best retire 20 your
room and ask heaven to guide you in
your offer.
The New Yorker retired for an hour
or two and then returned to clinch
the bargain.
Well. my friend, did you hear from
the Lord ? asked the farmer.
Aye! did {; and l am prepared
to offer you 5000 an acre for this
piece of ground.
My friend, while you was hearing
from the Lord l heard from Satan.
He sent Boston man here to offer
me $500 an acre for the whole farm.
You had best wrestIe again.
But Satan showed that he run that
part of Pennsylvania. While the
New Yorker was telegraphing for in.
structions the "old boy" sent in an
offer for $500 per acre and the land
changed hands.
