An absentminded woman put herself
on record the other morning in a cross
town car, which she boarded at Sixth
avenue, bound east. She paid her fare,
said "Third avenue" to the conductor,
took q second nickel for her ticket on the
elevated, and, shutting her purse, gave
herself over to some evidently absorbing
thought
The car was full of changing people,
as is usual with crosstown cars, and
moment later the conductor, making his
round again, noticed the nickel and me-
chanically reached for it. The woman
gave it to him without q word and rode
on. Near Fourth avenue she suddenly
started out of her reflections, glanced
around, saw that she was near her des-
tination, took out third nickel to have
it ready and once more knit her brews
in meditation. Before Third avenue was
reached the conductor passed her.again.
This time she proffered him the nickel,
which he would stolidly have taken save
for the intervention of an old gentleman
seated opposite.
MADAM, he said, "you have already
paid your fare twice"
The woman started and looked con-
fused, then light dawned ON her face,
she thanked the gentleman, put her
nickel into her purse and the purse deep
into a mysterious pocket somewhere in
the back of her dress just as Third
avenue was reached. When last seem
she was hurrying mp the stairs strug-
Cling to fish the purse out in search Of

Every one in New York who eats salad
thinks that there are few people In
town who can make fairly good salad
dressing, but that none Of them can come
up to the dressings made by him (ths
thinker.
81 tell you, sir, said Boggs, the gour-
mand, as he deluges the lettuce with
grease, "that fellow Snoggs thinks he
knows how to do this, but he doesn't
have any mora idea Of It than a COW.
Think of it, he puts in more vinegar than
oilr
At the same moment Snoggs is mixing
a dressing in another part of town and
snickering to himself us he remarks: ~
was very much amused the other night
at the way Boggs did this, He actually
made a dressing without vinegar! Hal
Hal" and every one laughed.
Then there is Juggins, of West Thirty
fourth street, who also has his peculiar
views "Any man." he declares, who
puts mustard in salad shows his igno-
rance.n
Muggins, of East Sixty-seventh street,
also has decided convictions. What do
you think" he roars out; 81 saw Juggins
putting mustard in a salad dressing"
Then some put in sugar. Others think
this an awful absurdity. A few use
dab Of Worcestershire sauce. Others
would rather be lynched than follow
their example.
The funny thing is that there is only
one way to make a salad dressing. That
I is the way known to the reader OF this
article.
But the funniest thing is that the same
diner out will deyour the dressing made
by Boggs and Join in with his Jokes at
the expense of the dressings made by
Snoggs, Muggins and Juggins. Then the
same man will eat at the table Of Mug
gins and apparently sneer with that per-
son at the efforts Of Snoggs, Boggs and
Juggling
There's lot Of conceit and deceit
about salad dressings gs.--New York Her

A great many years ago, when our
grandfathers were very young, and be-
fore the flood, there used to be strange
looking animal called the glyptodon,
He was called glyptodon because he
had futed teeth, and perhaps because
the people who named him hadn't heard
of tarts. We should doubtless have
called him tartodon, because his back,
in the pictures we have of him, really
resembles n tart more than anything
else, though it weighed somewhat more
than most tarts do before they are eaten.
The glyptodon also had four feet, and
could always tell his hind legs from his
front ones by the singular fact that his
hind feet had five toes each, while the
front feet had to get along ON four
This animal does not exist at the pres
ent time, and it is just as well that he
doesn't, because he could be very dis
agreeable if he wanted to, as you can
very well imagine when you remember
that he was really nothing more than a
turtle, and lie was quite as large AS an
ordinary elephant in his stocking feet

One night in the tent | heard cow
boy tell this story; He was with big
outfit moving cattle, and one day, some
where near the line separating Colorado
from New Mexico, they encountered a
settlers cabin which had been plunder-
ed by Indians. The settler and his wife
and children had been killed. The fore
man was sent for, and he Immediately
ordered that the cattle be allowed to
take care of themselves while the cow
boys went after the Indians. Three par
ties set out at once, one commanded by
the foreman and the other two by ex-
perienced men. One party came back
In day without finding any trace Of the
Indians.
Another party came back in two days
without finding any trace of the Indians,
but at the end of the third day the third
party came back whooping and yelling
and firing off their pistols, they had found
the Indians, killed every one Of them
and captured their ponies.-Cor Topeka

fact, Jack Fu1niss weren't no worse than

A Mexican superstition, very common
among miners in that country, relates
to the "gold snake" This species Of
serpent is perfectly harmless and very
handsome, being green in color and
with a golden iridescence in its scales.
Faith is entertained that wherever a
gold snake makes its nest there is a
ledge containing the precious metal, and
there are many miners who will locate
a claim at once if they find a gold snake.
