The Arkansaw traveler., 1888-05-26

to get them on. Sammy valiantly rushed to her assistance, but in vain. The atmosphere was damp and warm, and the heat had produced swelling in her feet and the new shoes would not go on. But there was no more time for vain efforts, as the train had halted and the conductor notified them they were at Brierwood station.
 "See, Tidy! Over there is the graveyard, and in the corner of the fence, near the road, Sara is buried" and Sammy looked out of the window and pointed to dilapidated inclosure with few dingy headstones and nu- merous weedy mounds where the dead of Brierwood station slept.
 The conductor grasped the basket of rabbits and the bird cage. The weather was rainy and miserable, but Tildy followed him, bearing her shoes and the bag of doughnuts, while Sammy came after with carpet bags and um- brella. Onto the damp platform in her clean stockinged feet the bride stepped and looked about her.
 "That's where she is buried," said Sammy. "I always said that you should see that give my wives re- spectable buryin'."
 The conductor deposited the bird and the rabbits on the platform and the locomotive uttered a shrill whis- tie. "What's that for?" cried Sammy.
 "The train is going," was the reply.
 "By Golden. Hurry, Tidy, get backw cried the bridegroom, ex- citedly "I didn't think they'd go so soon. I thought when we bought a first class ticket they'd wait for you to see the stone, anyhow"
 The bride caught up the bird and her shoes and rushed back to the car
 The conductor was amazed. "What's up?" he inquired.
 "It makes no diffunts," said Sammy "I only wanted Tidy to see how we'll 1 laid my other wife away. It's nigh onto three years since I was at her buryin' at Brierwood station. Come, Mister Conductor, we'll go back to the train. Me and Tidy are going to St. Paul now, but we'd never bought first class ticket only we thought you'd wait for Tildy to see the stone" -New York Mercury.

Example of European Politeness.

In Italy, as we'll as in France, we often find pleasant disposition to offer service, even if it is not directly paid for. I was once in a city of northern Italy where I needed some articles of clothing. Having just ar- rived, 1 was entirely unacquainted with the place and inquired of clerk at forwarding or express office, where 1 had some business, the ad- dress of good shop where I could buy what wanted. He therefore put on his hat and said he would go with me to one. l did not wish him to put himself to so much trouble, but he insisted that as did not know the city 1t would be much better for him to accompany me. He took me to the best place in town, helped me in my selection, made suggestions to the shopkeeper, and when I had finished my business, offered to go with me to buy anything else I might want.
 It is possible that he may have been paid for bringing purchasers to this shop, but the price paid tor what I bought was so small that there could not have been much profit to any body, and could not believe that the large and wealthy firm by whom this young man was employed would allow one of their clerks to go out in this way merely to give him a chance to make 8 little money. Let any stranger in one of our cities enter an express office and try to get one of the clerks to go with him to a tailor's store and help him to select a suit oi clothes, and when he has made known his desire, let him wait and see what happened next.

A Mans Reasoning.
Harper's Baxar.

"The trouble with women," said Smitherimpkins, Sis that they want us to have fun their way. They want us to sit in the house and talk about the weather, sir; to discuss the eternal mysteries of dress making and cook ing, sir, and worship babies. They can't see why a man should want to go to club or a public dinner, sir, or take in base ball game or horse race. They want us to do as they do and enjoy ourselves their way, sir. But did you ever hear of a man want ing woman to have fun his way? No, sir; not much, sir. You never heard of any mans trying to persuade his wife to go around the corner, sir, to nice, quiet place, sir, where some elegant gentlemen were engaged in a rubber at cards, sir, and to smoke ci- gars and drink beer with the party, sir, and sit up until the clock had made himself hoarse with growing, sir, and then meander home singing. Did you ever hear of any mans trying to persuade woman to have fun that way-his way? No, sif; not by ajug- ful, sir"

Santa Fe Vestibule Trains.

The vestibule train is & new factor in western railroad transportation. It is claimed for these trains that on ac- count of their being connected by steel hoods all danger of telescoping in case of accident is removed, the train being practically one long car. It is certain that the oscillation of the cars is greatly reduced, and it is also certain that the vestibule trains afford the greatest comfort yet known to travel CTS. The adoption of this style of train by the Chicago, Santa Fe < Cal ifornia railway between Kansas City and Chicago, is strong bid for the passenger traffic between the west and Chicago. This new road is in many particulars ahead of any of it's older competitors, and will undoubtedly be the popular road to Chicago.

A Magician's Dilemma.
Exchange.

Prof. Irvink, who monkeys with cards and other bric-a-brac that g0et to make up the outfit of the profes- sional sleight-of-hand performer, gave an exhibition at the hall in Frank ford, Pa., the other night. The pro- lessor is all there with his tricks, but somewhat shy on his oratory if he gets out of the beaten paths of hi. hanky- -panky. This time he accidently strayed and got badly mixed up in. g byway.
 Smiling like crack in a mountain range, the professor ambled down from the stage, and borrowed a silk hat from fat man in the front row. It was brand new eight dollar hat, and the professor looked at it affec- tionately as he made his way back to the stage, which was reached by a short step-ladder placed there for the occasion. The professor hadn't been drinking, but he was nervous. The ladder slipped from under him, and he tobogganed on the hat several feet up the stage.
 As he picked himself up and looked at the crushed stovepipe in blank de- spair the audience roared. No one laughed so heartily as the fat man who owned the wreck. Irvink looked at the hat, the spectators, and the wings.
 "Ladies and gentlemen" he finally stammered, "this was an accident. If the gentleman who owns the hat will wait until tomorrow I will try to buy him new one out of the box re- ceipts. Really,I did not mean to fall, I-"
 His voice was drowned in laughter and applause.
 "Isn't he an excellent actor?" ex- claimed the fat man between convul- sions, to his neighbor. "Never saw anything to beat it."
 The professor turned his scared face about the stage. Escape was impos- sible. The more he tried to tell his auditors that the crushed tile was not a trick, but yard wide, and all wool reality, the more his auditors didn't believe him.
 He went down into the orchestra and whispered to the owner that he did not mean to fall on the hat, and that he would make restitution as soon as possible, but the owner wiped the tears off the end of his nose, and found breath enough to remark that he knew all about it; this wasn't the first time he had been to sleight-of- hand show.
 At last Irvink carried the cause of his misery back to the stage and ended his act by flight. While a young man was singing something about girl who didn't want him, the professor hunted up a notary and came back before the curtain fell, with an affidavit that he did crush the hat aforesaid, without malice afore- thought and without aforethought of making it as new again. The audi ence, including the fat man, believed him then.
