He was the chronic car joker or that line
Of road, and seldom boarded the train
without guying the conductor. or left il
without raising general laugh a. the
company's or tranmen's expense. One
day, however, he arrived late at the sta
ton and barely in time TO swing on with
out a ticket. He had just caught his
breath, after seating himself with the usual
daily crowd of fellow travellers, when the
conductor appeared.
Haven't got any ticket" began the
joker, in his usual vein, and the crowd
awaited its daily guy.
''All right; give me fifty cents, " respond
ed the official.
Never carry an ything so small, /" and the
traveller picked out n twenty dollar bill,
but did not pass it mp.
Make out your receipt first" he contin-
ued, I'm all business today" Then as
the receipt was dnly punched out he took
it and began long and Iabored inspection
of it, still holding on 10 his twenty dollar
bill. at the same time aggravating the busy
conductor with superfuous questions: En-
CINE all right Air brakes OF hand brakesp
Newsboy chained2 Any rebate on this
ticket Punched il all you want tor ANY

As the conductor began 70 tire OF the
business, the funny man handed over his
twenty dollar bill and suddenly drew Il
back, adding, "One question more: Il this
a through trainy" Bet your lne." replied
the conductor, taking the bill; "and what

deliberately moving away, "Its through

THE LIGHT INFANTRY BALL

AS have been all the balls given by the
Kansas National Guards of this city, the
one last evening was success in every
particular, except one. which was the dis

the failure of their new uniforms to ma

Lieut.. Col Callahan, Capt. Wallace, Capt.

present.
Shaw's orchestra furnished the music
for the occasion, which was compliment
airy. fact the boys appreciated very much.
The grand march was witnessed by
crowded galleries. Seventy-five couples
participated in it, and the beautiful Co.'S
tunes of the ladies and the spruce look
ing boys in their uniforms presented a
very pleasing sight. The hall was very
handsomely decorated with bunting and
flowers
In the interval between the march and
before the dancing begun, a squad of
eighteen, under command of Lieut. Run

they acquitted themselves nobly. 1t was

WICHITA'S SHARE.

Wichita has cause to feel reasonably
proud of her success in securing some Of
the prizes distributed at the recent en-
campment of the Grand Army at Hutch
inson. The headquarters of the Woman's
Relief corps will be located here for an
other year, Mrs. Junkerman having been
reelected department president. Gen. B.
B. Eggleston was elected delegate-at. large
to the national encampment, and Rev. n.
E. Harmon. chaplain of Garfield post, was
elected department chaplain, through the
untiring efforts of w. w. Sweet. 1t is the
opinion of Grand Army men generally
that the organization never selected bet
ter set of officers. Mccarthy, Greene,
Spencer, Campbell and Booth are tower
of strength in themselves, and that the Or
ganization will go forward with renewed
zeal and interest is generally conceded.
May all success attend it,
