A Hatter's Discourse on the Matter
Polishing Tiles.

Said q fashionable downtown halter:
II wish I had q dollar for every time /
polish q silk hat. It's absolutely ridiculous,
the way men drop in, perhaps as often as
twice O week, to have their hats polished.
Most of them are customers, and of
course 1 never charge them anything. Then
I don't think it good business policy to
charge strangers, for they might become
customers. In fact, I do gain q good deal of
custom by polishing the strangers hats as q
matter of course and being very courteous
about it. When they offer to pay I say in an
off-hand way that we never charge for that
work, and invite them to give me q call
some time when they want to buy o hat. And
very often. as I said, they do.
''But the frequency with which the same
man brings in the fame hat Is rather absurd.
The hat is already az lustrous as IL can we'll
be made, and unnecessary polishing only
wears it out. But il wouldn't do to tell the
customer this. / sond the hat downstairs
and have it kept there ten minutes and then
sent up perhaps without it's having been
touched. But the man doesn't know this,
and departs imagining his ~headgear sheds Q
brighter radiance than when he entered"

An "L" Road Guards Cosy Chats with
His Very Best Girl.

Hi NCEy VLt
The working hours Of the - L " road train
men are long and irregular. They do not
have much time to themselves.
An unique little scene was enacted on o
Third avenue train. 1t was in the evening.
AS the handsome young guard could not
call on his best girl, his best girl called on
him.
She got on at One Hundred and Tenth
street and seated herself in the corner Of the
car nearest her admirers platform.
Immediately after the car passed out of
sight Of the station, and when he had an
nounced the name of the next, the guard en-
tered and shut the door.
He leaned against the door and had the
cosiest kind of o chat with the girl in the cor
ner before the next station was reached.
Just before the train got there, he bounced
out On the car platform. and stood with the
most innocent air imaginable, as II he had
not left his post since the train started.
This performance was repeated as far as
Ninth street, where the reporter got of. It
was doubtless continued to the Battery and
all the way back uptown.

Beneath his rather rusty uniform there
turks a susceptible heart. however, as was
disclosed by o little comedy which occurred

was evidently q daily performance.
As the train drew up at O Yorkville station
n young girl OF perhaps seventeen years of
age was observed peering anxiously from the
window of o fiat at thesslowly hating cars.
Suddenly her eyes lighted up with pleasure.
n rosy blush suffused her face, and with O
pretty smile she modestly lowered her eyes
TO the street below. Only for o second,
though, as her gaze once more sought the
train, while the smile and blush deepened.
Following the direction of her glance. the
reporter saw the guard, under pretense of
adjusting his cap. blow q hurried kiss to the
damsel as the train gathered Roadway.
When the fiat was left in the rear he en-
tered the car, announced the next station in

II was q pretty little play, and the famil-

A BALL OF FIRE.

Grave On Oneida Lake.
Froin the Chicago Mail.
Along the shore Of Oneida lake there is
an Indians grave, where at times q weird
and supernatural light makes it's appear
ance. IL is described as n hull of fire
about the size of n large orange and SWAPS
to and fro i'm the air about twenty feet
from the ground, combining is irregular
movements within q space about one hum
dred feet square,. People have attempted
to go near enough to solve the mystery,
but il would suddenly disappear before
reaching IT,. A very peculiar story il toll
by the neiRhbOrs near the spot. They claim
that many years ago the locality was
part of an Indian reservation. A man by
the name of Belknap. frequently dreamed
that there, was IL crock in the Indian GEM
ctery containing immense treasures and
that IL he went there at the hour when
gravcyards yawn he could secure il.
These dreams were repeated SO often that
they had - strong effect. and he went
there with pick and shovel, according To
Instructions, but he failed to turn round
three times when he found the crock, as
the dream directed. He went to- pick il
up, hut was stunned by n fash Of light
ming and the crock disappeared. Since
that time the spot has been haunted by
the mysterious light.
