A Duffer Meets a Consumptiye.

From the New ork sun
You have seen the duffer-a hulking big fell
low with bullet head and lots OF wind and fat,
but without an ounce of sand in his craw. He
always picks his man, and he always means to
be certain that he has got hold of somebody
who can be bluffed and bulldozed.
There was chap Of just this sort-a duffer
from Dutferville-in the crowd of passengers
Obliged to wait at the depot in Decatur, Ala,
for several hours on account of a railroad ac-
cldent. Alter half an hour everybody sized
him up for what he was, but he was permitted
to go blowing around because no one wanted
the excitement of a row. He boosted Of his
nights and his victories, and he tried hard to
pick fuss with two or three farmers, and
finally got his eye on something good 1t was
tall, slim. hollow-eyed man from Ohio, who
was evidently on his way to Florida to die of
consumption. He had a deathly look to his
face, and as he wandered up and down the
platform he coughed in a hollow and dismal
way. Duffer arranged to meet him in his walk,
and at once loudly demanded:
Did you move my valise of the seat?'
mo, sir" was the reply.
"Well, l want to find the man who did, / can
mop the earth with him in two minutes"
"Well, don't care who it was"
"Oh! You dOn'ti Mighty independent, your"
go away from me, sir! don't know you
and don't want to-"
Don't you? If you were only we'll man
I'd make you eat mud. As it is, don't give me
too much sass or I'll teach you manners"
You are ioafer. sir-a frst-class loafer!'
| said the Buckeye as he continued to walk.
Il never strike sick man, replied the other
"but will tweak your nose once just to reduce
your temperature. Now come"
He reached out with thumb and finger, but
he didn't get the nose. Instead OF it he got it
bin! bang! IN the face with the right and left
and as he went down the consumptive kicked
him to his feet and knocked him over bag
gage truck: He didn't get up again until two
men assisted him. He had two bunged eyes, .
bloody nose and bleeding mouth, and he
looked about In helpless way and stammered:
'Gen-gentlemen, lead me off somewhere
| where can be alone"
When he had gone some one asked the con-
| sumptve il he wasn't afraid the exertion would
give him hemorrhage, and he replied:
What do you take me for?'
Aren't you northern consumptive on your
| way south?"
Not for Joseph! I'm q professional con-
| tortionist on my way to all an engagement in
Cincinnati saw that dufYer sizing me up
| and 80 played to catch him II he should want
anything more send him around"
