Tho Chair Tool, Notion to stroll.

The Chair Took Notion to stroll.
The action of chair which formed

one windy afternoop not long ago. The
pavement in front of the store is
smooth, and slopes TO the gutter at .
considerable angle. This chair, Which
had solid back, stood right on the
corner, and the wind, blowing squarelJ
against it, caused it to slide gently to
ward the gutter. The wind blew stead
lily, with just sufficient strength to move
the chair at slow pace.
The persons vino happened to be
looking out of ncighboring windows or
of passing street ears or carriages, and
therefore did not feel the wind, could
not imagine what had come over the
chair, that it should thus gravely and
sedately leave its fellows.
Even those who were on the sidewalk,
for the most part, never thought THAI
the wind could be the cause of the phe'
nomenon. a policeman across the way
made up his mind that some thief had
tied a thin wire to the chair, and was
dragging it where he could put it into a
wagon and drive off with it. The Off
Ger started toward the chair, and just
then clerk who had happened to see
the runaway dashed out of the furniture
store, recaptured the fleeing object and
tied it toa big sofa. 1t took the police
man some time to understand the cause
