line Of retaining numbers on the cars L
start out on run and know the numbers Of
all the cars with which the train Is made up,
and while some cars will be left at stations
along the road, and other cars will be taken
up, yet at the end of my run If an officer
asks me whether have a car number so-and-
90, can invariably tell him without refer
ing to my book
Now, when it Is remembered that the train
may be made up of forty cars, and that the
numbers run all the way from the hundreds
to the twenty five and thirty thousands, and
that a dozen cars may be taken off and
another dozen taken on along the run, mi

There is a good story told of Wesleyan
student. one of the boats crew that fin
ished second in a fiotilla of six at Sara
toga some years ago. He was slim,
good looking fellow, without a trace OF
a pedant in his makeup. He became en-
amored of the daughter of well to do
farmer, who lived not far from the lake.
The farmer objected to him on general
principles, and tried to break off the ac-
craftsmanship; he did not want a minis
ter for a son-in-law, and the young man
seemed too light WASTED for rough bat
tie with the world. Returning early one
night he found the pair of lovers seated
on the sofa, and at once proceeded to take
off his coat.
If your father raises his hand against
me, shall not strike back, but will pull
his nose" whispered the Lothario.
Now, medical men pronounce the nose
a most delicate and sensitive organ, and
ANYTHING beyond gentle dalliance with il
| is provocative of great pain. But the ole
| gentleman sailed in, and dragging tbs
| student lover to the doorsill he deposited
several pounds of kicking power undel
| his coat tails This WAS too much, anC
true to his word the young athlete seizet
the old mans nose twixt his fingers anC
wrung it heartily. In this unexpected
turn OF affairs the theologian was revealed
in new light.
LET go! let go. she's yoursr yelle'

shall marry her at the earliest opportu
