"Oh, no; I guess not. But they live

ten miles away. Think how lonely it
must bel"
"Yes, of course it's lonely, but she
has ner husband"
"Oh, yes; he can't get away very
we'll"
"He can't go to the club"
Certainly not. He'd have to ride
100 miles or so to find one."
"And he doesn't have to stay away
from dinner to entertain a country
customer"
"If he stayed away he'd have to go
without"
"And she's sure to have his company
evenings"
"Of course. Rut think of living on
that vast prairie with no neighbors-
hardly house in sight. Can you con-
ceive Of anything more lonely?"
"Oh, yes;" said the little woman
promptly?
"What?"
Living in the city, in the midst Of
thousands, with clubs and theater, but
hardly soul you know. No one can
be lonely as one who is alone among
thousands. The loneliness of little
back room overlooking court is moth
ing to the loneliness of a brilliantly
liz hted ballroom to a stranger in it.

past desolate old garden, in one of

Suddenly that dead negro rose up be-

head was on all right, and he glared
at me, with eyes as big as saucers.

ON THE DARK DAY.
There Were Humorous Incidents as Well
as Terror and Dismay.

The Dark Day of 1880 had its hum
orous incidents, like others not sutfi-
GENTLY marked to go into history.
Men were divided in their opinions,
some ascribing it to natural reasons
and others to the. supernatural. In
Boston, one of DR.. Byle's parishioners
sent her servant to ask him whether,
in his opinion, the darkness did not
portend an earthquake, hurricane or
other commotion.
"Give my respectful compliments to
your mistress, facetiously replied the
doctor, and tell her l am as much in
the dark as she is"
Says the author of "Historic Storms
in New England:"
When the day was darkest, negro
named Pomp, at Medford, went, very
much frightened, to his master and
said:
aMassa, the Day of Judgment has
come. What shall L doP"
well, Pomp, you had better wash
yourself and put on your Sunday
clothes"
Struck by this intimation that his
master saw no cause for fear, Pomp
began to bring in his evidence.
SMassa, it has come, for the hens are
all going to roost."
"Well, Pomp, they show their sense.
"And, massa, the tide in the river
has stopped running"
"Well, Pomp, it always does at high
water.''
But, massa, it feels cold, and it's
darker and darker"
$50 much the better, Pomp, haven't
1 heard you say the Judgment Day
will be all fire and light?"
Pomp was comforted. Common
sense, together with little wholesome
''chaff," had banished his fears.

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
If Womeil Were Left-handed They Could
Alight Better from Street Cars.

She half rose from her seat, glanced
toward the rear of the open car, and,
raising her parasol, signalled to the
conductor on the rear platform that
she desired to have the car stopped at
the next corner. As it slowed, she
stood up and stepped to the side, shift
ing her parasol from the right hand to
the left and grasping the arm of the
seat with the disengaged right.
"Wait till the car stops, please" the
conductor shouted.
She glanced up with slight express
sion of fright, and the conductor ran
along the footboard at the side to as
sist her, but she did not walt for him,
She stepped down while the car was
in motion, and when the car stopped
with slight jerk she had her left foot
on the pavement. She had kept hold
of the arm end was about to release It
and put down the other foot, while facy
ing to the rear, when the jerk threw
her off her balance. The conductor
grasped her arm and prevented her
from falling. She smiled her thanks
and stepped away, The conductor
blew his whistle and started to return
W Gu6 pldIlOEus
"There's another" he remarked to
serene and observant individual at the
end of the next seat. ga woman never
gets off a car while facing the right
way; at least I've never seen one. If
she'll wait till the car stops it's all
right; if not it's all wrong.H y
"Tisn't her fault" the individual re-
marked.
"Huh!"
"No. It's the fault of the car, or the
company, l mean"
"Huh!"
"Of course. I'm not saying a word
about grasping corporations or any
thing of the like, but say it's the
fault of the company"
I'D like to know how" the conduc-
tor said, suggestively. "We do every
thing we can to help 'em."
THAT may be so, but the company
ought to change the direction of its
lines or start a movement for the de-
yelopment of am bidexterity," the phil
osopher remarked.
"What?"
@Ambidexterity ability to use both
hands," the philosopher explained,
> hO pANhOAO 40 lAIOoO HOOPIO Cdn
use the right hand only in grasping
anything, with confidence in the effort
women particularly. In this coun-
try the cars pass to the right, and as it
is safer to alight from the side nearer
the sidewalk, it is very natural for a
woman to grasp the arm of the seat, or
the side of the rear platform of closed
car, before stepping down. Now,if the
cars ran the other way, to the left,
women would get off from the other
side and would use their right hands.
If woman gets off now at the side
near the track she uses her right hand,
and is not pitched backward. You
watch the next time. If women were
left-handed, the present system would
be all right. but they are not"
Il never thought of that. the con.
ductor said. "It has always been a
mystery to me-"
"Do you think they'll changer" the
philosopher asked.
"Who?"

How Confidence Man Deceived Several
Chicago Railroad Officials.

A confidence man has been working
small but successful game in the
railroad offices of this city for several
weeks. He is fairly good talker and
has hungry. pleading cast in his
eyes. He has been making a system-
atic canvass of the railroad quarters.
and after working one building all he
thinks it viii stand he tackles the next
one IN line. He walks directly into an

made mistake yesterday when he
started in to work the Monadnock
building. He forgot that the Santa

tral had all moved there recently from
buildings that he had already worked.
He strobe into one of the Santa Fe
offices and had just got as far in his
story as "you don't know me, SIR"
when his intended victim rose up, took
him by the collar, and said, while es-
corting him to the door:

Why?

"Papa," said Willie as he and his
father roamed over the fields together,
81 like to go walking with you. You
know so much about everything, don't
youP" Yes, Willie, | know great
DEAL" returned Mr.. Bronson compla-
Gently. "And it is great pleasure to
me, my son, to be able to impart to
YOU the information that l have ac-
Quired." Willie looked as if he didn't
exactly know what acquired, and i'm
part, and information meant, says
Harper'S Bazaar, but he took it for
granted that his father understood
what he was saying, and for a minute
he was silent. Then he asked, catch
ing sight of the cattle grazing in the
next field, Papa, what is cows?"
Cows" returned Mr.. Bronson after q
moment of -"cows-er-are
animals with horns that give milk and
than they do apple pie and custard?'
said Mr.. Bronson. "Why do they,
papa?" asked the boy. "Oh, because
they were born that way" why do
cows give milk, papaP Can't they sell
it?" mo. Cows don't know anything
about money, you know; and, even il
they did, they wouldn't know where tc
keep it," Couldn't they keep it in
their horns?" "Oh my, mol" "What
good are cows horns anyhow? Dc
they make that funny moo sound with
their horns?" "What an ideal. Nc
indeed. They do that with theil
throats." "Why don't they do it with
their hornsP" "They can't" Cant

horns and-er-brass horns, but not
cows horns" Papa, why don't cows
have tin horns?" "Oh-nonsense! OF

time about this, and then he turned tt
his father and said, "Why are COW
COWS anyway"

PRE 7 7 I POLLIo oIOON FHnHoE'
1t Came In Pat in the Course of Battle
With Rocks.

A friend of mine was keeper of a
hotel in the old country famed for its
excellent accommodation and superior
bitter beer, says writer in the N. 7.
Recorder. His name was Joseph Nor
ris, but among the boys he was better
known as "Joey-"
joey was a little man, no more than
feet 2 inches in height. He dressed
faultlessly and was methodical to de-
gree. No guess work about joey.
When he said yes he meant yes. But
Joey had little temper of his own,
and nothing delighted the boys more
than to rush into Joey's barroom eight
or ten at time and all call at once for
their glasses of bitter beer, while keep
ing up running fire of chaf. This
Invariably irritated the little man, and
he used to exclaim: "This is too bad
of you. One at time, gentlemen; I'll
serve you all in turn"
joey had gray parrot that usually
adorned the barroom, and this mode
of rushing joey" as the boys called
it, occurred so frequently that Polly
was not long in catching on" and l
have seen her literally scream with de-
light when the boys entered with
rush, and in the thick of the fun Poll
would exclaim: zone at time, gen.
tlemen; I'll serve you all in turn"
Poll became a great favorite with the
customers, but her language was not
at all times up to drawingroom stand
ard. However, one fine morning the
boys entered as usual, but poor Poll
was missing. 1t appeared that in
cleaning the cage the servant had
thoughtlessly left the door open, and
the bird had escaped to the garden
and flown off. Nothing was heard OF
her for couple of days or so, when
joey was informed that Polly had been
seen in field a few hundred yards
from the house, in the midst of flock
of rocks and jackdaws. With cage in
hand, joey and a few of the boys
started in pursuit of the missing bird.
On approaching the field where Poll
had been seen they heard mighty
clamor among the rocks, and looking
over the fence discovered that Poll was
there, but in a most unenviable posi-
ton. The rocks had pecked and crowd
ed her back into one corner of tho
field, where she was supporting her
self by her tail and one foot, while
with her beak and the disentangled
foot she was defending herself, at the
same time exclaiming at the top of her
voice:
Zone at time, gentlemen, one at a
time. I'll serve you all in turn"
