Couldn't be Supposed.

A man from the West was telling a few of us in the smokers compartment about some of his adventures in Mon- tana, when young man in a very checked suit, with very red hair and freckled face, stood in the door and in- quired:
 "Did I understand that you were from the West?'
 "Yes, sir."
 "Way out West?"
 ., "Yes, sir" \
 "Glad to meet you, sir. I wanted to ask you about the Indians. They are very savage, I understand.'
 "Well, yes."
 "Delight in torturing their prisoners, don't they?"
 ;. s.l believe they do."
 "Well, sir, let me state suppositious case," drawled the young man. "Sup. pose was walking across the prairies out there, far from human habitationp p v. s'But you wouldn't be-"
 "But suppose was."
 ''But it is not supposable case"
 "No! Why not, sir?"
 "Because the minute you got outside the dooryard a jackass rabbit would tumble you over and leave your dead body for the coyotes. Oh, no. Moth. ing of your general appearance could ever walk on a Montana prairie fal from habitation!"
 The young man swallowed at some thing in his gullet, tried hard to smile, and withdrew with the observation that he never could endure very much tobacco smoke.

AFTER THE STORM.

Then mighty wind arose and blew from the sunset land,
 Blew till the tall trees bent like the slender blades of grain; Wildly their tangled boughs were tossed by the tempest's hand That smote the covering fields with the flashing drifts of rain. But the wrath of the storm king died, and silence came like a boom; The far horizon glowed with giit-edged amethyst bars; And up the sees of the night came sailing the mystical! moon, Her sapphire pathway strewn with the blossoming silvcrn stars.

.SNORER'S PALACES.
QUEER SUIT IN THE NEW YORK
 COURTS.
An Architect Who Put $12,00O in a
 Bedroom.

About seven years ago John A. Nor ris, of New York, hired Architect Manly H. Cutter to add bedroom to his summer cottage at Throgg's Neck. The contract was that the addition should be made while Morris was away in Florida, and the singular feature was, so it is alleged, that Mir. Morris required that the room should be so constructed that it would be im- possible for anybody else in the house to hear snores in case the occupant of the bedroom should happen to snore. The only means of access to the room was. to be little door leading from the bathroom, and the walls were to be deadened. He wanted the room finished artistically, and so he says, agreed to pay $5, ,0oo for the complet- ed job.
 Architect Cutters first work was to invent sort of conductor contrived to carry snores out through the roof. The work wasn't nearly completed, so Morris says, when he got home from Florida, and found that $12,0OO had already been ex- pended on the work. A new struc- ture of brick and stone was being added to the cottage with an arched facade, supported by solid pillars. A chimney 50 feet high, with hearth stone weighing two tons was one of the details of the addition. Morris also found, so he alleges, that the architect had arranged for carved frieze to the bedroom, and windows of Venetian stained glass, with ale gorical pictures. The bathroom was to be domed and finished in hand painted embossed leather, with win. dows of opalescent jeweled glass. Incl. dentally there was to be closet with tiled floor, and a shoe box of pol. ished slate in one corner. In the wall Jas to be built a cabinet ward. robe, with wall ornaments of ham, mered brass and antique bronze. The whole alteration would require an ex. pcnditure of $27 1000.
 Mir. Morris ordered further artistic work stopped, and directed that the jol be finished with the materials already at hand. Then he ordered his lawyer to sue Architect Cutter for 6,O0( damages. Tho suit was thrown out o1 court, and Architect Cutters counter suit for $1,20O for fees was pressed He set up the defence that Mrs. Morris had insisted upon the artistic trans. formation of the cottage. The sui, dragged through the courts for six years, and now the court of appeals has decided that it must be tried over again. Gutter got a verdict at the first trial.

Helping q Sparrow UD.

In University place, the other day, a boy picked up a sparrow which was unable to fly from having daubed it's wings with fresh paint from some cor nice. He was carrying it away in his hand when a poorly dressed man, who was warming his back in the autumn sun, held out his hand and asked for it. The bird was passed over, and the man took very ragged handker- chief from his pocket, and began wiping at the paint, saying, as he did so:
 'sThat's the way of the world-go for a feller when he's down. Fifty would wiring your neck where one would give you show"
 He Wiped away for minute or two, and then continued:
 "If somebody would give me an en- couraging word and half show l could be 8 man yet: but somebody won't do it. It's easier to kick a man down hill than to boost him up. There, young chap, your wings are all right now. Go and be happy. Next time your nose smells fresh paint you shy off,"
 He gave the bird toss, and it flew to: the, naked limb ot one of the elms and then turned about and cried {: 1'Peek! peek!" as if in gratitude.
 "All right! All rlght!" replied the man, with wave of his hand. "Per- habs you'll do as much for me some time. Go along now and attend to business"

 "Look a-herc, Reuben, don't you start no fuss around yere today"
 "Fur why?" 4..
 "Kase the man who starts fuss is gwine to get chawed to strings in nc time. This crowd is onery, Reuben ?
 "Hain't l gwinc to tell old Parke that he stole our hogs?" queried Reuben.
 ssNo, sir! He'd breed fuss quick CT nor scat. You jist hold yerself level, Reuben-mighty level"
 Reuben promised to and then slanted his hat on his ear and sailed out to spit over his shoulder, lint old Parke up and call him a hog thief. He had scarcely got the words out of his mouth when something hit him and he dropped, and in less than two minutes there was fighting for two blocks up and down the street. l,eube's old father was in the bar of the hotel taking a drink. The sounds of conflict brought him out just as Reufc crawled up the hotel steps. He had a broken nose, broken jaw, two black eyes, a scalp wound, a cut hand, and was almost naked. ...
 "Is that you, Reube?" shouted the old man as he bent down to get a closer look.
 Reube nodded his head.

The Delegate Up Stairs.

One day when a whole 'bus full of us drove up to hotel in Lynchburg, Va, the landlord remembered that he had drummer from New York who had been suffering terribly with tooth ache for two or three days. He had tried every remedy known to man, ex- cept that of having it pulled, but noth- ing had availed him. He said he hoped some of us might be able to suggest something, and slowly added:
 "Gentlemen, l have heard that a sudden shock to a mans nervous sys- tenn would sometimes cure the worst case of toothache. Can't you plan something?"
 Six or eight of Us got together in the reading room, and it was finally decided that man named Simms, who turned out to be patent medicine ad- vertiser, should go up to the room and startle the New Yorker. He was to do it by claiming to have seen g de- spatch to the effect that his wife had run away with another man. We thought that ought to cure his tooth- ache if anything would.
 "How big man is hc?" asked the delegate when ready to go up.
 "Oh, he's rather understood" re- piled the landlord. elf he should get up on his ear, you can easily slam him all over the room."
 The medicine man went up. We followed, and stood at the door to hear the result. He found the New Yorker grooming like sick horse; and after introducing himself, he said:
 "Sorry for you, old fellow, particu- larly at this time, but have bad news for you." .........-.
 "No!" exclaimed the other, sitting up in bed.
 ''Be calm, old boy. It's about your wife,"
 stIs she-she dead?" ssBetter for you if she was. She's run away with street car conductor!''
 There was wild yell, followed by several whoops, and a crash. Then the medicine man fell into the hall, and wild figure dragged him up and down, and mopcd him around, and made bear fodder of him. 1t was five minutes before we could get him of and get his victim away. We carried the latter into sample room, stretched him out on the table, and had sponged his face for the third time, when he opened his eyes.
 "How do you feel now?" asked ont of the boys.
 "Queer. Whats happened?"
 s'You went in to see the New Yorker"
 :sOh, yes. He had the toothache."
 "He did, and you kindly consented to shock his mental system. It was . great success"
 ssI cured it, did I?' | "You did"
