Along about the middle of the coach
was q young lady, not beautiful girl,
but just ordinary, although she had
very jaunty hat and a sealskin sacuue.
young man, says the Now York sun,
got on at Castillo, who stood at the door
and looked the passengers over for
minute or two, and he then walked de-
Hberately down the aisie and pumped
himself down beside the girl. AS he
did so there was O. crayh and crush,
and he. sprang up to discover that he
had sat down upon handbook and
mashed it fiat.

mered, as he turned all sorts of colors.

WARNING TO sEhEpucrs.
A Story with . AIoral for Married Men
OF C0nViVlal HAbIta.

Story with . M"ral for Married Men
OF Cornwall Habits.
A New York friend tells me . story,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, that
should convey q warning to married
men who are in the habit OF telling fibs
to their trusting spouses.
One night last summer q certain New
York physician, who had previously
been the best of husbands, who had
never been out at night except on pro-
fessional duty, went to dine with some
Of 1.-The boys" and became so inter-
ested, let us say, in the proceedings that
it was nearly daybreak before he stared
for home. A friend went with him.
They boarded a Street car, and no sooner
had they seated themselves than the
doctor began to worry about what he
should say to his wife. He asked his
friend to advise him, as he was a novice
in the art of coming excuses; but though
his friend responded with all sorts of
suggestions, the doctor had discovered
none to his taste by the time the Car
reached his street.
The pair entered the drug store on
the corner, which was one of those in
situations which minister in various
ways to the wants of the nocturnal way
farer. The drug clerk, who knew them
both, saiuted them with the excited
query. "Do you know that the police
man on your block has been shot? He
was brought in here, and they have
taken him to the hospital He can't
live"
After they had learned the particu-
lars OF the shooting, which do not con-
Germ us, the doctor and his friend left
the store.
There's your excuse, DOCTOR" said
his friend. Had to attend Smith, who's
tho policeman on yoLS block; see2'
The doctor saw. When he reached
home he told his wife pathetic story
of poor Smiths dealt, and his vain at
tempt to savo the policeman's life. "He
died in my arms, my DEAR" he con-
cluded. The gentle wife believed the
story, and patted her husband on the
back.
The next evening the doctor and his
wife wore sitting on the stoop, as the
custom is in New York of a warm, sum-
mer evening, when who should come
walking up the street but Smith, tho
policeman. The doctors face grew
crimson, his wife's white. There was
tablenu.
You see the trouble was that tho
doctors house was corner one, and
two police beats touched it, and the two
policemen of course passed it. I'm
fortunately it was Policeman O'Brien
who was shot; Policeman Smith enjoyed
excellent health.
The doctor never stays out late at
night now.
