though he had recently passed through great
exposure entered Clark street cable car, says
the Arkansas Traveller, fellow who had ep-
parenty been asleep got up and grabbed his
way from strap to strap till he stood opposite
the woman.
MADAM, said he, you are entitled TO my
sympathy and cheerfully give it to you"
Il don't know why you need TO synpathize
with me, the woman snapped.
You do know, mad-madam, but the in
inmate modesty of woman's nature bids you
con-conceal it. Your husband-for such
take him TO be-is pretty full and woman
whose husband is pretty full can always have
her drafts of sympathy hon-honored at the
bank Of my gentle nature"
What do you mean?" the woman's husband
demanded.
Il mean that you are drunk!'
We'll it's none of your business IL l am, and
besides that, l amt any drunken than you are g."
"Capn," said the sympathzer, ''as the impu
dent dis-discoverer of Something that I've
been trying to keep concealed, even from my
self you've got me to whip, and now in-in7its

the woman exclaimed. Selling his coattail as he
arose to accept the invitation. 'He shan't be

you arrested"

dis-discoverer of something that I have been
trying TO bring out in striking illustration, you
are deserving of reward Wen get off here
and take a drink"
"All right: l am with you, world without
end 3" and he would have been, too. but the
woman seized the tail of his coat and gave it SO
strong a pull that she almost ripped it off.
You re not going TO get of this car to get a
drink. Do you understands"
Now. Mag, what's the use of being so fool
ish?" This man is my friend, aud he wants to
throw business in my way Let me get off here
and I'll meet you at the Lincoln monument"
'YSu are not going
But what's the use in hamperin' me this

He took out a bottle and smilingly handed it
to his friend, but the woman seized il and
threw 1t through a window. The husband ut

still unruffied, said: But never allow a wo
man to cir-circumvent the flights of my
genius. The first bottle was a decoy, filed
with a worthless and insipid fluid, but this one
holds the old stuff. "
He took out another bottle and held it until
his new friend had taken long pull" then,
bowling as he sat down, said: Madam, having
discharged my duty, will now take restful
and much needed nap. Whenever you feel that
your courage has returned-whenever you feel
that you can crcumvent the wild and unexcited
flights Of my geprus, whisper the words Little
Willie, and will, like the beautiful dreamer,
awake unto thee. Until then farewell"
