"All passenger trains should have one
cattle car, and compel every man who
chews tobacco to ride in 1t.
"And they should also haul one fiat
car" said the cross passenger. ''for the
fresh air woman who always insists on
keeping the car window open She
should sit on slab seat on an open
grated car, and breath ashes and cinders
to her souls content.
'And dark and lonely box Car" said
the tall thin passenger, ''for the man

get together in there and sit and drum
on the sides of the car with their fin
gers, and whistle all the tunes they
didn't know, and the rest of the train
would be happy"
'sAnd a Kalamazoo velocipede. said the
fat passenger, ''for the man who drums
on the floor with his feet every time the
train stops" Here, the man on the
woodbox suddenly ceased pounding his
favorite overture with his heels. "By
the time he had worked his knees on ex-

fat passenger, without appearing to no.

"And o OCCASIONALLY" the man on the

earnestly into the stove, ''they might

who has to ride over the trucks for feal
of springing the car
There was an embarrassing silence
for minute or two, when the fat man
said something about refrigerator cars

Painfully Embarrassed.

stranger who got into the Union
Depot Yards while trying to find the rail-
road ferry slip would have been run down
bv one of the numerous switch locomo-
tives had not man at work in the flour
sheds seized him and pulled him off the
track. The stranger was greatly con-
fused and shaken up for moment, but
after he had taken seat on the platform
and got his breath he called out:
"My man, that was nobly done ! ex-
pect you can make use Of S., OOO IN cash!
swell, perhaps"
The stranger breathed heavily, rubbed
his arm and after a minute continued:
s'Yes, feel just like making you
present OF thousand dollars"
This was painful reduction from his
first observation, but it wasn't for the
flour roller to find fault. He brushed
away at the strangers hat to get the dust
off, and as he handed it over he was IN
formed:
81 think you would know where to put
800 if you had it, eh?"
81 want nothing, sir. You were IN
danger, and pulled you away"
"But I shall insist upon your accept
ing something. You certainly saved my
life, and L shouldn't begrudge $25.
He got out his wallet, which was
crowded full of bills, and as he handled
them over he remarked:
"Ten dollars would buy your wife a
dress, and every time she wore 1t you
could think of me"
Eyes, sir.
The bill came out but quickly replaced,
and after a minute spent in some mental
calculation the stranger all at once
handed out 50 bill with the observa-
ton:
'Here, my man, go and get you new
hat, and rest assured that shall be evel
grateful to you"
Then it was seen that the laborer was
painfully embarrassed. He shifted from
one legVto the other, looked up and down
the shed, and when asked the trouble he
replied:
'Please, sir, but haven't you any small
change about you? 1 think quarte1

A tinware peddler called at house on
Fourth avenue the other day to exchange
some of his goods for paper rags. The
woman brought out a sack weighing ten
or fifteen pounds and the peddler held
it up on his spring scale and announced:
''Dere vhas shust six pounds, so help
me gracious"
Her husband came out at this moment
and replied that he would not accept any
such weight. He knew there were at
least ten pounds in his sack, and he didn
propose to be swindled.
"My frendt, do you pellet I sheat you p
asked the peddler.
"You would if you got the chance"
It was agreed that the man should
take the sack across to the grocery and
weigh it for himself; but he was nc
sooner out of sight than the peddle1
drove off and did not stop for five blocks.
In the afternoon the man met him down
town and asked:
"Ah you rascal, why didn't you wait
for me ?"
