Torturing a Car Conductor.

The funny passenger has evidently had
enough of the engineer. and is now turning his
attention to the brakemen on the elevated rail-
way. On Thursday afternoon when he boarded
the train at the ferry station, he was toying
with q large cigar. and no Cuban grandee could
have excelled the smoke clouds with which he
enveloped himself. He boldly walked into the
car in rear of the smoker" and the brakeman
for a tinh too amazed at the passengers
temerity to interfere. When he had regained
his composure, says the Brooklyn Eagle, he ap-
preached the funny man and said:
You can't smoke here, sir. Go into the for
ward car"
80, you're mistaken" said the passen-
ger.
Not bit of it, sir, said the brakeman, with
some asperty; this is not the smoking
car and you know it. There is where you must
sit"
The brakeman turned around to indicate the
proper exit for the offender and when he again
directed his gaze toward the funny passenger
the latter was placidly tanning himself and the
cigar had disappeared.
Il told you that you were mistaken" said
the passenger Morning cocktails, supple
mented by midday alcoholic beverages, conjure
up many optical illusions"
The brakeman'S amaZement was relieved by
gasp. 1t was his first experience with the
recent invention for the torturing of car con
duCtOrS.

This Dog Understood.

There is a Newfoundland dog, Lion by name,
says the New Orleans States which
gives daily proof of his comprehension
of what is said to him. lady called on his
mistress the other day. During her call Lion
came in rather syly, lay down on the parlor
carpet and went to sleep. The conversation ran
on, and the visitor saiu finally:
What handsome Newfoundland you
have"
Lion opened his eve.
Yes" said his mistress, "he is a very good
dog and takes excellent care of the children. -
Lion opened the other eye and waved his tail
complacently to and fro on the carpet.
When the baby goes out he always goes
with her, and l feel perfectly sure that no harm
can come to her." his mistI ess went on.
Lions tail thumped up and down violently on
the carpet.
"And he is so gentle to them all, and such a
playmate and companion to them, that We
would not take 81 1000 for him."
Lions tail now went up and Town, to and fro
and round and round with great and undis-
gused glee.
But" said the mistress Lion has one Sc
rious fault"
Total subsistence of Lions tail together with
the appearance of an expression of great con-
Germ on his face.
"He will come in here with his dirty feet and
lie down on the carpet, when ! have told him
time and time again that he mustn't do it."
Here Lion rose with an air Of the utmost de-
lection and humiliation, and skunk out of the
room with his lately exuberant tail totally crest

Story of a Loving Gun.

A Bostonian who has been in London a good
deal relates that not long since he hal the
honor of dining with one of the Oldest of the
companies of that city, when he was shown the
loving cup. which was passed at the conclusion
Of the dinner, with the date 1912
He had been told earlier in the evening that
the hall Of the company had been burned to the
ground IN the great fire of London, and that
everything which the company had had been
consumed, so that he remarked that of course
this cup was reproduction of an older one.
oh, no" was the answer, this is the
original"
But how was this preserved in the great
fire?"
1t was then explained that the company was
so heavily assessed at the time of the establish
ment of the commonWeath-when, as every
body knows. levieS were made on most of the
city companies-that il had hard work to raise
the necessary funds.
1t managed TO scrape along, however, until
the Testo ration, when fresh demands were made
by the government of Charles II on the ground
that the company had contributed funds to the
support of Cromwell
The company had already inortgaRed its
land, says the Boston Courier, and now there
was nothing left for it but the pawning of its
plate, which was accordingly pledged to the
Lombards, who carried it to France. 1t was
| owing to this state of things that the plate es-
ca cd the great fire. and although it was a long
time after that event before the company was
in position to redeem the silver ultimately
the whole came back to the original owners in
London.

he Was q Hvpnot;zer.

few weeks ago, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, well-known Philadelphian was travel
ing through Georgia in an exceedingly slow
train. There was only two other passengers in
tn 4 car, and with one OF these the Quaker CITY
man engaged in conversation. After awhile
they got talking about undertaking and Mr.
Blanke of Philadelphia expressed his disbelief
in anything OF the kind.
Maybe you don't take any stock in hypno-
tism, either?' suggested the young man.
Mr.. B.anke didn't
Well" continued the other. Il am an ex-
pert hynotizer, and can prove it. See that other
passenger up in the cOrnerg"
Mr.. B.anEe looked and beheld a little, old man
wearing white felt hat, curled up in seat,
sound asleep.
Now" said the young man, Il can hypnot-
ize that old fellow so ne will wake up when the
conductor enters, and throw his hat out of the
window"
Claimed the incredulous Philadelphia. The
wager was accepted, the money was deposited
with the solitary brakeman, ald then the hyp-
notlzer crepL softly up to the sleeping passen
ger, waving his hands over the latJer's lad
whispering the proper instructions. Then he
took his seat beside Mr. Blake.
In quarter of an hour the conductor entered
the car and sung out Tickets The next
second the elderly passenger awoke with a start
and leaped into the aisle and struck
the conductor under the left ear.
Without waiting an instant he seized him by the
throat, and before Mr.. Blanke or the brakeman
could come to the rescue the conductors hat
was picked up and thrown out of an open win
dow Suddenly the hypnotizer cried: Right ~
at the same time clappinR his hands. The old
man started, rubbed his eyes and didn't know
what to make of the conductors anger until it
was explained. The money was paid over to
the hypnotizer, and Mr.. Blanke left the train at
the next station.
Then the old man and the conductor and the
hynotlzer had adrink together.
Worked him nicely, DIDN'T WEI" observed
the hypnotizer, as he whitfield the foam off his
beard.
You betlH calculated the old man.
III pick up my hat on the return trip" con-
cluded the conductor.

summoned, arrived at the house, says the
Arkdn Sdlo Traveller, he found the patient, a
strong looking man, suffering terribly

taking out his watch with one hand and taking
hold of the mans wrist with the other.

Abolish ARrarian Agitation.

In many parts of Europe Mayday has be-
come TO be considered the chief festal occa-
sion Of the year for the working people.
For that reason every description offnnatic
whose peculiar political schemes dep nd
upon the approval of the working classes
select that particular holiday on which to
disseminate their personal. social and
economical doctrines. Every imaginable
vagary known to modern maloontents is
then promulgated.
While the nibilists are as bold as they
dare to be in Russia, the communists are
haranguing France, and the socialists there
endeavor to proselyte all the balauce of
Europe. Had any of the projects they pro-
pose the merits Of reasonable practicabilitY,
or the possibility of development in any
wise advantageous to the advancement and
improvemeuu of humanity, they would be
worthy Of tolerance and patient expert
ment But they have none of these ei,N
ments to commend them. To all outward
seeming the whole end and aim Of the vari
Gus theories sought TO be introduced is
merely TO devise some means by which the
indolent may live upon the exertions of the
Industrious and the turbulent may over
come the orderly. 1t is not in any sense
movement for the greatest good
for the greatest number. 1t is simply a
proposition under the conditions Of which
the more disreputable elements of society
would be enabled to dominate the more
worthy and progressive.
What these radical malcontents call pro-
gress is simply the revolution of equitably
and satisfactorily established institutions to
give place to the disorder in which strife
may be fomented and agitators may
thrive.
Giving the workmen Of all Europe such
a holiday once year is very desirable if
the day be used merely for healthy recrea-
ton. But when the chief part of it is
diverted from its legitimate uses and debased
to the crafty purposes of those professional
disturbers of order the abolition of the
holiday would be for the advantage Of the
workmen. 1t would permit them to pro-
coed with their regular daily occupations
undisturbed by the malignant theories of
the agitators and without contributing to
the luxurious maintenance of those idle
and vicious people who do not in any way
benefit them

While the Angels Listened.

Little Frances is 3 years old.
She is the possessor of a fat rubber doll. says
the Pittsburg Chronicle, which goes by the
name of Edna
Frances and Edna are inseparable compan-
ions.
One day Frances mamma discovered the
newly polished window pane covered with
finger marks, and she spoke to the child in this
wise:
Frances, mamma didn't see who made all
those finger marks on mammals nice clean win
dow pane, because her back was turned; but
the dear Lord up in the sky saw who did it, and
the angels wrote it down in a big book. Now
tell me, Frances, do you know who marked up
mammals Window"
Yes'm," replied Baby Frances. looking
mamma straight in the eye
Now you must tell me right, you know, be-
cause the angels are listening"
"Yes'm."
Frances, who marked up mammals window
like that"

When a man has endured the boosted
felicity Of connubial bliss until he attains to
the age Of so years. it seems that he should
be able to tolerate domestic happiness to
the close of life. But there is Connecticut
man in New Haven who at that age has
just discovered that his wife's temper is in
compatible with his own and her habits are
disagreeable to him. Hence he has the
hardihood to enter the divorce court. But
as the venerable plaintiff happens to be an
unusually well preserved and good-looking
man, he may contemplate other matri-
monial ventures. or course that would

Notwithstanding the action of the state
department in Selling the Chilean insurgent
supply ship Itata and the pursuit of her by
the cruiser Charleston when she SO uucere-
moniously slipped cable and cut" for the
open sea, the federal government at WASH
ington claims to be acting in a perfectly
impartial manner toward the warning fac
tions in Chile. If that be the case, then the
seized steamer may have been allowed an
opportunity to make her escape in order to
relieve our government of rather an en-
barrassing predicament. OBTAINING the
steamer might bring about international
complications in case the insurgents win.
On the other hand, allowing her to go and
trade freely in our ports might subject us
to a claim for damages under the interna-
tional law of neutrality. But we avoid all
embarrassments and allow the respective
forces to fight out their differences without
restraint by giving the seized vessel fair
opportunity to make her escape. That is
the best way to dispose of the matter.
