very indignant and after the car stopped
she stood N the doorway 10 berate Tue
luckless conductor, thus effeciualiy
blocking the way FOR other lady passsn-
gers who wished TO alight and detain-
ing the car on lts trip. The conductor
quietly requested her 10 move on. when
sne grew very angry aud demanded his
number which WAS glven-46. She
and departed with threat to report
the inottcnding railway employe.

horse slipped and fell on the cedar
block pavement on Monroe-st. Two
ladies stopped horrified At the sight OF

they helpit upT'
II wonder If II has ut. No, 1t
doesn't froth at the nose"
"Just look at that great brute OF
man pulling at the harness. l do hope
he'll get hit."
$50 do l. Why, il they don't look

till doomsday before they would have
picked him mp. I'd treat my dog better
than that" said number one.

the eastern part of the city has under
taken the rearing of pup. The purp
in question is high bred greyhound
brim full OF cusscdness but capricious
IN appetite. An inquiry was made Ola
friend III regard To n diet that would
suit his royal highness and at the same
time help to keep him out of mischief,
and the friend recommended bones.
The lady of the house determined to
try the experiment and handed the in
FAINT canine q triangular bone about
three inches long. The pup shipped at
the bono cautiously. took 1t into his
mouth daintily, and then to the horror
and dismay OF the lady, his spine
seemed to {, lsscope, his internal works
gathered themselves into Il wad and
the bone droppel into his stomach with
duh PUNK. Instead of expiring in
stant!y he begged for more. The family
n, 4, l,,o
but the little sinner seemed never so
gay and festive and as he seemed in
clined TO linger, the handmaiden who
presides over the kitchen was instructed
10 watch him and make his last hours
as comfortable as POSSIBLE. Next morn
ing when the family arose the pup was
on deck lively as cricket but lank as a
skinned pickerel. Bridget" said the
mistress. ''does the dog seem well?" -.
"Indade he does ma'am; the limb
was niyer fuller of thrlcks"

WHAT You'll SEE-Speaking of the
use of tobacco gentleman remarked
yesterday. "If you want to be sur
prised just take mouthful of tobacco
smoke and blow it through white
handkerchief ard you will see what
you'll see. A big yellow spot that's
what you'll see Just think of a man
who inha.es cigarette smoke depositing
all that stuff on his lungs. Its enough
to cure a ham," "Yes," remarked the
other, and I'll tell you of another
scheme. Take white handkerchief
and hold it over the mouth of n water
faucet from the system and allow the
water TO STRAIN through 1t and you will
see what you'll see. You'll see snakes,
that's what you'll! see. Just think of n
man drinking it and dcpositing all that
stuff on his stomach. Its enough TO
