Looking Out for the Cars.

"All women are alike in their fear
of the cars" said an Illinois Central
conductor. "They carry their caution
to absurd extremes That reminds me
of little story. Down in the southern
part of the State we have up at road
crossings some of the old-fdshioned
signs, 'Loot> out tol the CARS hes the
bell rings AT one of the crossings
the other day two women came up,
driving an old horse hitched TO a buggy.
They looked all about and couldn't see
any cars, but happened to read the
sign.
"'Stop,' said one, az hear bell"
They both listened, and sure enough
they heard bell tinkling, One of the
women got out, and, amid considerable
excitement, took hold of the horses
bride. The other one tightened heL
grip on the lines, set her jaws, and
prepared for the worst. They looked
anxlously up the track for the train,
but still couldn't see il, though they
could hear the bell little palmer
than before. They waited ana waited.
Five minutes passed, then ten, and still
no train. The horse went to sleep, the
women's nerves, from long straining,
threatened to throw them into hyster-
les. Nearer and nearer came the bell
against which the sign warned them,
so they stood still In about quarter
of an hour an old brindle COW came
walking down the pasture by the side
OF the track, chewing her cud and
monotonously jingling her bell. One
of the women cried from nervousness,
and the other one got mad at the rail.

Couldn't Stand the Raise.

Mr. Sage is an habitual church goer
and he attended well known Presby-
terian church on Fifth Avenue for
several months. Ex.Secretary of the
Treasury Bristow occupied the pew
directly behind that of Mr.. Sage, and
lie, as well as others, had observed that
Mr.. Sage's invariablc custom was to
drop Il quarter of dollar into the con-
tributIon box. One Sunday the
preacher made an unusually earnest
and effective appeal for aid for some
needy Christian object, and many
members of the congregation who were
wont to drop silver coins into the box
put in greenbacks instead. Mr.. Bris
tow, it is alleged, leaned forward and
whispered
IL say, Sage, l will raise the usual
gift to dollar to-day if you will"
The millionaire ut first nodded his
head AS if consenting to the PROPOSE
tion. Then, partly turning round, he
said:
mo, 1 can't give dollar; III give
fifty cents. I'd like to be generous
but I've got half ii million dollars in
bank that is not earning me Il cent

Wanted Their Money Back

In 1913 | was reappointed United
States District Attorney for Michigan,
and, at once, started again for Daniel
Brown, the counterfeiter, and he to es-
cape me, fled to California in 1850,
taking with him $S0,000 of spurious
and counterfeit bank bills of the State
Bank of Missouri, that never sus-
pended payments, and in the mount
aims of California, he exchanged all of
his counterfeit bills for California gold
slugs, and hurried back to Cleveland
and Akron, paid off his counsel, Hon.
r. p. Spaulding, still living there, paid
off the encumbrances on the 1900 acres
of land on the island, gave his mother
several thousand dollars, and then died
of consumption, to which he had al
ways strong tendency, and was bur.
ried. But that was not the end. The
Missouri Pnkes, as we called them in
California. in almost three months,
discovered that their 500 Missouri
bank bills were worthless, spurious
and counterfeit, and so they got
together, chose Il committee of three
to follow Dan Brown home to Cleve-
land, compel him to refund their
money, or kill him in his tracks. And
home the committee came.
Going to Cleveland, they called on
Judge Spaulding, who was amazed to
see such body on such an errand.
He explained Browns arrival, the dis
position of his money and his death,
but they were incredulous, so they
went 10 Akron, taking Judge Spauf-
ding with them. There they found
Browns mother and his widow, but
the money was all gone and Dan Brown
was in his grave, so it was said, but
they would not believe it. SO they
went to The cemetery, had the body
disinterred, the coffin opened, when
sure enough, Daniel Brown was
beyond the reach of courts. vigilance
committees and even Missouri gold
diggere. They went back, resolved
that henceforth, like old Thomas Ben
ton, they would be bullionists, only.

How can n man on dollar day

And purchase cigars and tobacco, praye .

Ask his dear friends to step out for "smile,"
And stable 2:40 animileY

How can he dress in big fancy plaid?

And change linen cuffs every Sunday or twos

How can he go out to ride with his mash
When he hasn't the requisite cold blooded

Why, that is his reason for not being rash
He can't.
How can he claim his dear girls slender

And circle her finger with glittering band,
When his check-book's so weak it scarcely

How can he marry and furnish wife
With the many small comforts which sweetcn

We must state the cold truth, though it cuts

A Sly Joke. .

A victim of street car pickpockets
determined to get even with them, so
he put into his pocket pocket-book
containing only slip of paper, on
which was written the words: "Tbis
time, you rascal, you have lost the
fruits of your labor" He got into the
car, resolved to have the first pick
pocket that meddled with him arrested
Twenty minutes passed and nothing
happened, and tired of waiting, he got
out, having first assured himself that
his pocket. book was safe. He opened
it and in place of the white piece Of
paper, was a blue one, which he un-
folded and read as follows:
"What sly joker you arel"
