HICCOUGH.
An Amusing Incident on a New York
Elevated Railway TraiD.e

An Amusing Incident on a New York
Elevated Railway Train.s
"HiccOughn' The sound came from
a very fat man in a big fur-lined over
coat, and it issued from the folds of his
fat throat with such force that nearly
every one in the elevated train looked
around. The fat man calmly gazed out
of the window and complacently picked
his teeth.
"HiccoughH' Again it rang through
the car, and again the fat man became
the focus of all eyes. This time little
boy across the way snickered out loud
and little girl on the opposite seat put
her hands before her mouth and 'tee-
heed with such enjoyment that the
fat mans face grew red with embar-
rasSment.
"Hiccough! hiccough!" Two came
in succession here, and the big, coat
fairly shook. Nearly all the passengers
were smiling now, except one stern
faced old lady, who gave him crush
ing look over her gold-rimmed specta-
cles.
Unnoticed by all, benevolent-looking
little man sat few seats behind the
unfortunate fat man. Any one could
see that he was just the sort of man
who would 90 several blocks out of his
way to accommodate a stranger, or,
if asked question about a street, would
glibly roll Off the topography of half of
New York; or that he knew all signs,
and cures, and remedies for all COM
mon ailments. 1t was easy to see, too,
that he was thinking of the ways in
which hiccough'c be cured, and q
few minutes later all were conscious
that the method he had selected was to
scare it out of the victim. The fat man
was still hjccoughing as the little man,
with smile on his face, steadily crept
up behind him, and, just as he saw the
fat mans throat trembling for another
explosion he brought both hands down
on his shoulders and shouted:
"ShOom
At that instant the car checked up
suddenly and the little man fell forward
until he looked as if he were swimming
in the big mans hat. Up sprdng the
big man with roar
80, didn't mean that, really" ex-
claimed the little philanthropst, but,
catching sight of the distorted features
of his victim, he turned and fled to the
door which the brakemon was Just
opening. But the fat man was very
nimble, and he caught his benefactor
with big square-toed boot. Eighty
six, " shouted the brakeman, with low
cred head; but his cry was cut short as
the little man straddled his back and
fell in heap on the other side, where
he picked himself up and fled through
the car. The fat man took his seat.
The hiccough was cured, but seated in
the last scat of the hindmost car, the
little philanthropist did not wear that
look Of triumph and satisfaction which
is presumed TO follow the success of q
cherished aim. N. Y. Times.

and one of the gentleman was requested
to read aloud the recipe for apple
snow contained in the Cbautauquan,
as it was suggested that the article was
open to criticism Without hesitation
and in an impressive manner the reader
began; "Apple snow requires six apples;
whites of two eggs and three tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar. Peel and CRATE
the stiff froth. Beat in the sugar with
few light sweeps of the apple"
Here he paused, evidently somewhat non
plussed by what he had read, but a rep

the text, and he continued, (which

proved of no benefit. and it was decided

"Yes'm, I'll try" Tony said. And
then he darted off to join the merry lit
tie crowd at the school-house.
Johnny Spratt was there, too, but
somehow he didn't look so merry as
the rest. His eyes looked almost as
though he had been crying.
Rut before Tony had time to wonder
much about this, Mr. Bakers big, four,

There was stir in Tony Walters
heart just then, and he felt a funny
little warm rush all over him. He
thought of mamma he remembered
whose birthday it was. His cheeks
grew cherry-red, and his eyes grew
misty. In a flash he was out of the
cutter, pressing his silver quarter into
Johnny Spratt hand.
Here, Johnny, take this!" he cried;

And then Mr.. Blake, who understood
all about it, said: "Come, Johnny,

to crying than he had been before.
And all at once came voice from
the drivers seat-a voice that had a
little choke in it as well as Mr.. Blake's.

said. Il don't believe you'll weigh

Punning.

The following published in an English
newspaper of January II, 1776, gives
the true origin of the saying: ale who
would make a pun would pick Il pocket. >
The aversion which Dennis bore to a
pun is well known. Purcell and Con-
grove, going into II tavern, by chance
met Dennis. After Il glass or two had
passed, Purcell having some private
business with Congreve, wanted Dennis
out of the room, and knowing no way
more effectual than punning, began to
pull the bell. No one appearing in an
swer, he put his hand under the table,
and looking full at Dennis, said: 81
think this table is ike the tavern
"Why?" said Purcell because there's
never drdlCer in it" drawer in
those days was equivalent to the modern
term "waiter.) The witticism had the
desired effect, for Dennis started up and
left the room, saying, "that any man
who would make such an execrable pun
would pick his pocket, "-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
