THIRSTY ELEPHANTS.

One day a circus aud menagerie train
halted at the railway station on its way
through a town. OF course there was
great curiosity among the railroad men
80 inspect tins special train; and among
others the engineer and the fireman of
one of the locomotives in the yard left
their posts for short time to see the
different menagerie cars.
When they came back and were ready
to move their locomotive, they noticed
that the cover of the water-tank was
open. Further they luckily discovered
that the tank was nearly empty although
| it had been full to the brim when they
left it.
Such an extraordinary thing had never
| happened before! NJ wonder there was
| great surprise GU all sides; everyone
knew the tank was full when the men
| had left it; in fact, some of the "hands"
had seen it filed, neither was there a
| Tue question was, w here had the water
gone?
Seven thirsty elephants, shut up all
day and all night in car that gave them
hardly room TO move; their warm bodies
fairly touching one another, paltry al
| lowance of water to quench their thirst
and then, to be left standing on the hot
railroad track, the suns rays pouring
down upon the roof of the car, and with
only such air as could come through the
small open windows! Was it any won
that water was near, that they should
search for it? How were they to know
| that It was not there for their conven-
fence. AT any rate, no sooner were the
men gone, wheu through small window
of the elephants car the dnsky trunk OF
au elephant made its way sinuously out.
another, until seven trunks had felt and
snuffed around, over engine, tender and
coal. What they sought was not there;
but they still kept moving about, and
coming TO the water tank, one OF IneHl
stopped, felt all over the cover, and at
last managed to get the finger-ike end
under the edge of the cover. Then slow
ly aud carefully it was opened; when,
behold! there was what the elephants
wanted-water, and plenty of it. The
over of that particular trunk took a
long draught, its companions meanwhile
showing and pushing one onoSher in
| their anxiety to drink. One after
another they filled their trunks with the
cool water, and poured it down their dry
parched throats How graceful. How
refreshing. After the long, dusty ride,
with what keen enjoyment they squirted
the water over their tired, hot bodies,
until they were cool and comfortable.
The mystery Of the empty tank was a
mystery but a short time. The keeper
of the elephants Oh visiting the car, Lad
found it and the elephants de!ugel with
water. A few inquiries. and thematter
was explained to everyone's satisfaction.

A STORY OF A HAM.

Young man, taking my advice aud pay
for thug as you 60. Do not run up
bills.
This WAS the sage advice a veil known
business man gave the ether day. Why?
continued be- because in the end you
will have to pay for it all, and there Is
no telling for how much else beside. |
will tell you of little Incident that came
under my observations recently aud you
will see why say SO. The proprietor
of a large provision store in this city
OF his customers, but much to his sur
prise he found out little later that he
had sold it and failed to make any note
of it.
This bothered him somewhat until a
happy thought struck him. He 1udgeled
the gray matter ID his 5raiu and recalled
the names of thirteen men who had hap
pered to be in the store at the time the
transaction took place, though for the
life of him he could not think who had
gone off with that piece of swine But,
nothing daunted, he went back and told
his k-keeper to charge up one ham
to each of those thirteen different &C.
counts, telling him at the same time
that when twelve of the men objected 10
paying for it to explain to them that it
was mistake that would not occur again
what happened? Why, twelve OF
that party paid their bills without a
question and only one raised any Office
tion on account of the pork item. So at
least eleven, and very likely twelve, had
paid for something that had not been
bought aud that some one else had dis
posed of. Steer clear of bills"

The Pennsylvania Railroads Double Lines
to Atlantic City,
A SUPERB SUMMER SCHEDULE.

The coming summer promises to be a
most notable one for sea shore travel. En-
gagemenfs already made in advance for
hotel accommodations at Atlantic City and
inquiries received indicate the widespread
popularity of this great resort.
Never before IN the history of the City-by
the Sea have the railroad facilities been so
perfect rs they will be over the Pennsylva-
MAS Sea Shore Lines. Arrangements have
been perfected by which this popular route
will consolidate its two railroads (the West
Jersey and Camden and Atlantic) between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City, so as to be
operated Oh the plan of IA double track. This
mode of management viii! greatly facilitate
the handling of the enormous passenger
traffic, and will present the safest and most
novel system of double lines i'll the country.
The schedule of trains will be greatly
improved over that of previous years, both
in the number of trains, their equipment,
and speed. a large number of trains will
run on a time table best adjusted to the
needs of the public. They will be equipped
with comfortable and handsome new pas
senger coaches AMI attractive parlor cars
drawn by the Pennsylvania Standard hard
coal burning locomotives. The majority
of the trains will make the run in each
direction in eighty minutes, thus reducing
the time of transit to the minimum consist
ent with safety and good management.

WOMEN WHO ARE ALWAYS
WELCOME

There are women whom oue meets
every day who deserve \ word, remarks
the Boston transcript. the women whom
everybody is glad to see. First, there Is
the busy, bustling little woman-almost
always she is little, and almost always
she is stout. These characteristics seem
to add TO her cherry nature. Wherever
she goes she carries pleasant face, be
the day ever SO dull Whenever she is.
something funny is To be- found, be- the
time or place never SD monotOnouS.
| Blunders or mistakes never seem SO
| notifying when she describes their
amusing side, and the ranks OF self
disgust passes Oft in laugh. She is al
ways ready to help, whatever may be the
occasion, an | il it costs her a sacrifice it
is never told. The invalid always bright
ems to see her coming, aud even the
mourner does not shrink from her, for
she has deep sympathy under all her
jollity.
Again, there is the serene, stately
woman. To those who do no: know her
she seems distant and reserved, huc :,
nearer acquaintance reveals all her
| graciousuess. She is never obtrusive, but
she always proposes the right thing ~
the right time, and though unconscious
ly it is her plans that are acted upon and
her advice that is followed. Her person.
atty is the least noticeable of her char
relation to others. Yet when she is gone
her loss is strangely felt. Her manners,
her words, het very appearances is soJth
ing and resttul
In this category OF welcome woman is
the dear, old fash ioned motherly woman.
| You know her as soon as she appears,
and your heart, whatever its burden,
goes straight out to her, though she may
be stranger. She sits aud rocks and
knits, with her tongue as busy as her
hands, for she knows and loves to tell
whole family histories of at least three
generations. She goes to walk in the
woods, and she knows every herb and its
use, and when she goes home she carries
bundles OF wintergreeD, and mullen,
| and sassafras. In sickness and sorrow
she is invaluable. She always has her
wits about her, 10 use a homely phrase,
and can always be depended upon.

How Some spend New Years.

On New Years day, about fifteen miles away,
Jerry and EphIe went for a two days stay.
As it WAS a stormy day. Buddy, who was in
town,
Was DELAYED on the boat, and did not ge,
down.
There were several In the party, all jolly and
gay.
But for some reason they were solemn tina,
day,
For without Buddy they could not get along,
For he is an immense fellow, jolly, witty and
strong.
P. NJ. they were invited by the fair hostess
to dinner,
And each one had been remembered-each
little sinner.
Now don't think by that l mean they were
wicked at all,
1t was only a name given by the visitor so
small.
Just as they were finishing the last course,
Into the yard came q carriage and horse;
And who should alight but Buddy, the same,
who had come all the way from the city in
the rain.
Now they all set in tor a rafting good time.
Playing tiddledy-winks, euchre and shooting
at dime.
The way those boys smoked was a caution TO
folks small,
For they had three boxes and they smoked
them all.
