vosE.o1oGY IN A SLEEPER.
A Symphony of Snorers that Lasted
from Toledo to Cincinnati.
Gen. Comfy in Toledo Telegram

Gen. Comfy IN Toledo Telegram.
Did YOU ever notice what a variety Of
notes the snOrers have in a sleeping car!
Ii you cannot sleep, and will but seek
amusement instead Of discomfort, you
will find an analysis of this tone-language
very entertaining. 1t has more variations
Of time, tone. melody and harmony than
a sonata or symphony. 1 amused myself
very satisfactorily in taking TO pieces ana
individualizing the discordant harmonles
which issued from the noses OF our IN
conscious fellOw-trayelers during some OF
the stops when the noise OF the train
ceased, and the pattering staccato OF the
rain accompanied, without drowning, the
nasal chorus.
An upper berth passenger, who must
have been person OF spare habit, with a
high, sharp nose, gave whistnng ana
cheerful little Observation-Disclosures notes,
like peep! peep! peep"' From the under
berth, and probably more expansive ana

pated, slow accompaniment OF "snork

drawn "whOOme-WhOOme- :.

| in turh punctuated in the upper berth by
! a nervous and quick s'eX-ij-iy, eX-ii-jy, eX-

| concerning energy. Somewhere near, and
combining with these, came 4 laOorlous,

'sft-sit-sfit-bOOm, bO0m-beeZe! beeZe!

At a longer pause than usual-proba-
| bly, at Dayton, as l heard them testing
the car wheels-the cessation Of al! Ordi-
| nary motion and the substitution OF the
| pounding of the wheels seemed to awaken
| the desire for original and startling effects
| among the orchestra. Among the more
feeble efforts of the performers already

been listening in an excited state for the
note Of that laundering pedal bass, and
now it burst forth in all its grandeur,
scattering the elements and silencing the
whole orchestra as if Javan earthquake
had lit among them. The upheaval was
beyond the power of language or letters,
but this may give some faint idea OF the
event: "WhoOme! um-mee-ee-eeZe! Osh-

Unpublished Lincoln story.


Just after the publication of Secretary
Chase's exceedingly able Treasury report
in 1868, and when the Secretary was
known to have the Presidential bee buzz
ing in mis- bonnet, a Jealous friend OF the
President went to him (LincOln) with a
suggestion that Mr.. Chase should be leok-
ed after: he was using his power as Score
tary Of the Treasury to further his own
ambitious schemes. Lincoln laughed
shrewdly and brought out the inevitable
story of which he was reminded. An
Illinois farmer, tilling a few acres of land
and employing only one poor old
horse, was 'plOwing one day,
while his son regarded the operation
from the nearest fence. Suddenly the
old, spiritless horse pricked up his ears
and started briskly onward in the furrow,
almost dragging the old man at the plOw-
tail around the land. The lad surveyed
the unusual sight from the fence, the old
man having hard work to keep up as the
horse went flying around, and then he
cried out: ''Say, dad, why don't you brush
off that gad-hy on old DObbin's back?' AS
he flew past the old man replied: Il never
saw Dobbin doing so well before. Let the
gad-fy be-" How Lincoln made the ap-
plication any man can tell. And if there
are any high officials so troubled with the
Presidential gad-hy that they are doing
unusually well, it were pity to disturb
them now.

A FEW MORE
Ten-Acre Lots on the White
Bluff Road are Left.

COME of the parties who purchased have
- already commenced building and putting
in crop. There is ample time now to put in
a crop of snap beans and cucum bers, which
are the most profitable crops planted.
There is one fine corner on the Montgomery
and White Bluff roads, which would make a
splendid stand for a store.
1t is folly to exc cut a miserable existence
in town when land can be bought cheaply and
on time, and when industry viii yield good
return, whether applied to truck farm, q
poultry farm, or a fruit farm.
One-haf Of the front lots are already sold.

CHASING a PAPER THIEF.
How Congress Street Merchant was
Annoyed by the Loss of his "Mornlng
News and got Even with the Thief

How a Congress Street Merchant was
Annoyed by the Loss of his "Morning
News and got Even with the Thief
For a considerable time past Mr.. ID. L.
Schreiner. of Schreiner's Music House. on
Congress street, has been annoyed oy
newspaper thief. who stole his MORNING
NEWS every morning from the place Wnere
If II was left BY the carrier. He made IN
Ouirv of the carrier whether he delivered
the paDer or not, ami was
told that il was regularly placed INSIDE
the grating on the door leading into the
store. where il had always been lett.
Mr.. Schreiner was satisfied that this was
the case. and that it had been stolen by
some sbrewd thief. who watched his OPP
portunity and seized it before the store
was opened and people were on the
street. He concluded to investigate
the matter, and early yesterday morning
he arose. and. taking his pistol, which
had done faithful service and had re-
manned undischarged for long time, he
went into the store and concealed himself
behind the window. Where he could watch
everything going on outside and would
vet remain unObserYed. A few minutes
after he had taken his position the carrier
hurried up to the door and dropped the
paper into its accustomed place. He was
then fully satisfied that it had been stolen
and that the carrier was faithful in his
service. He waited a few minutes
longer, when a stealthy step was heard
on the walk, and young negro fellow
crept carefully up, and after surveying
the situation and satisfying him.
self that he was not watched,
lifted the grating, pulled out the paper
and started off. Mr.. Schreiner had taken
the precaution to unlock the door so that
no delay would be incurred in getting
after his man, and pullingit open he gave
chase. The negro dropped his paper and
started across the square. Mr-
Schreiner was not disposed TO allow
| the rascal to escape without
| some satisfaction, and snapped
| his revolver at him. The weapon failing
to discharge he snapped again. and this
/ time also il failed. The negro had con-
/ siderable the start, and running for dear
| life, was soon out Of reach and managed
| to eyade his pursuer's grasp. He had
| narrow escape, however, from slug o.
| lead, and Mr.. Schreiner is satisfied thai
| his paper viii hereafter be unmolested

Two friends 1--WE viii call them John
and Dick met casually and both had new
suits on. John bought his at the
''FamouS" and was very much pleased.
Dick bought his elsewhere, and not being
a judge Of clothing thought his suit just
as good. The Famous says, put the two
suits to the test, wait three months, and
we wager that the "F'dmOuS" suit, for less
money, wear better and look better than
any clothes bought elsewhere. We have
often seen it and know it for a fact. Our
goods are all manufactured by us for our
trade; nothing Is too good for our trade,
and there is as much difference between
our clothing and the ready-made goods
made for appearance to sell to retailers
as between day and night. We can free
ly guarantee our goods, and we agree to
refund the money for any unsatisfactory
purchase made. Famous New York
