A prumner.s Dilemma.

Coming from Rochester to Buffalo, on
the empire state express, commercial
traveller recently had singular ride.
He arrived at Rochester just in time to
purchase his ticket and rush to the
train-room door to see the train pulling
out He ran across the tracks and sue
ceeded in catching the rear platform of
the last coach. He expected, of course,
to secure an entrance to the car, but he
was disappointed. The vestibuled plat
form was secure against his efforts to
get in, and as it was on the rear end of
the last car there was no occasion for
the conductor or any one else to enter
the vestibule. So he was not discov-
cred. The noise of the train prevented
him from making himself heard, and
the speed was too great to permit him
to get off. He was in dangerous pre-
dicament; and as the train makes no
stops, the unlucky passenger had to
hold on for dear life for an hour and a
quarter on one of the fastest trains in
the world, in dangerous proximity to
switch bars, stationary freight cars and
passing trains. When he alighted at
Buffalo, his only regret was that he had
purchased ticket.--Golden Days

A dog belonging to Hercules Tyrius
was one day walking along the sea-
shore. when he found and ate murex.
species of shell-fish. Returning to his
master, the latter noticed that the dogs
lips were tinged with color. and in this
manner Tyrian purple was discovered.
The color was used in the robes of en-
perors and mobiles, and the expression
born to the purple" meant that the
person was of high birth. 1t is strange
to think that the favorite color of royal
ty can be traced to the curiosity or hum
ger of the dog of Tyre.
In the seventeenth century the favor
tie color of the Scotch Covenanters was
blue, and blue and orange or yellow
became the wing colors after the revo-
luton of 1858. Green is the color of
the Irish Roman Catholics, while op-
posed to it is the orange of the Orange
men or Protestants of the north of Ire
land.

THE AMERICAN GAR.

He Was for the Suppression Of the Labor.
Ing Classes.
It was on a suburban train coming
into the city few mornings ago that a
number of men were discussing the
present conditions of the wage work
ers. A well-dressed man whom no one
else seemed to know declared:
"The working people of to-day have
things entirely too much their own way.
They are too independent and they
should be put down."
His autocratic manner and the
strange sentiments he boldly expressed
awed those about him. Here was a
purse-proud car who spurned the lower
classes. Having risen above the COM
mon people he had evidently forg ,tten
that they were mortals somewhat SINH
lar to himself.
81 shall do all can," he continued,
to teach the impudcnt working people
that they must be the servants of those
above them"
Some of the men about him offered
faint objections to some of his remarks,
but his overpowering dictatorial man
ner was too much for them, and besides
they were not sure but he was the
financial hacker of the great institutions
with which they were connected and it
would not be the proper thing to
awaken his enmity. Finally the hater
of the lower classes went toward the
smoking car, when the mel inquired OF
one another who he was. None of them
knew, but a pale-faced, tired-looking
little girl, who had been an interested
listener in an adjoining seat, ventured
to inform them:
Hes one of the foorwalkers in the
store where / clerk. Times.
