49, zTfE the line, said IOnn Ci1-
bert, the travelling groceryman, but |
ran across a railroad up in Pennsylva-
mia the other day that can give the |
blackberry railroads many points. This |
rnilroad runs between Montrose, in Sus- |
ouehanna county. and Tunkhannock,
Wyoming county. 1t is a narrow gauge,
and does big business. 1t is a mo-
nopoly, too, but it evidently means 70
treat every one fairly and kindly. The
day was a passenger on this road
very voluble old gentleman sat in the
seat directly in front of me. He talked
much, and in talking he opened his
mouth very wide. He had store teeth,
and the plate had either shrunk or the
old gentleman's mouth had expanded
since the teeth were fitted to him, for
they kept bobbing up and down as he
talked like piano keys in action.
'tsYou better look out, old man.
said to myself, for if you haven't got a
string to those teeth the first thing you
know they'll desert you
1--WE were tipping along at a pretty
good gait. 1t was a warm day, and
the old gentleman had his window up.
Pretty soon he opened up with a few
remarks, in the middle Of which he felt
compelled to laugh. He gave one hi
larious snort, and zipl shot that set of
misfit teeth out of his mouth. 1t wasn't
satisfied with getting rid of his mouth,
but it threw itself out of the car
through the open window as well.
"'Gosh all fishhooksp was what the
old gentleman undoubtedly imagined
he was saying, but his upper lip was
caved in almost to his palate, and as
ne had to push it back and hold it
there with his tongue before he could
talk his words came trife thick and
full of splutter That was all the old
man said, hut ne showed his head out
of the window and looked back man
fully toward the spot where his teeth
had left him. We were gone mile OF
more, guess, before the conductor Of
the train had learned of the old gentle
mans bereavement. He pulled the bel
rope. The train was stopped. Their

teeth had shot out of the window
There conductor, engineer, fireman and
brakeman formed themselves into
searching party, and went to work Il
look up the lost teeth. They searched
the country on both sides OF the tract
for several rods, up and down, and a
the end of half an hour a brakeman
shouted:
"'Here they beI'
she had found the old gentleman
teeth. They were all there safe an
sound. The old gentleman shove
them ia his mouth and then said:
Gosh all fishhooksl I'd ketche
fits when got home if hadn't foun

''Then the train started, and the oil
man commenced his talking where b
left of when his teeth had got tire
and quit him. Nobody seemed
