WOULD STARVE FIRST.

The Old Man Would Not Submit to an
Extortion.
At Perryville, on the Pennsylvania
railroad, thin old man with a moutl
like cruller climbed on board south
bound train. He carried an umbrella
tied up with shoestring, and an old
valise which looked as if it had been
with Lee at Appomatox.
He sat down on a cross seat near the
door, deposited his property and beck
oned to a train boy who was passing
with a basket of sandwiches
'sGot anything ter eat, young feller?'
Sandwiches = ham, chicken and
tongue
''Are they fresh?"
''Certainly.''
There amt no certainty about it, -
objected the old man emphatically, 'the
sandwich business is ticl1lish in hot
weather"
They're fresh" said the boy impa-
tiently-'only been made an hour
I'D rather like a chicken sandwich, %
remarked the old man, ''if 1 knowed /
wouldn't draw a wing
mo wings. sir, all clear meat"
! s"Spose you let me see one of them
sandwiches.
Cant, sir, they are ali wy apped up.
/ Take one?''
How much do you ask for 'em?''
.sTen cents
''Not by the dozen, young teller, how
much for one?"
ssTen cents.''
ssGreat day n mornin'," gasped the
old man, horror-stricken, ten cents
fer two bites OF bread and smell of
chicken? I'm hungry enough to eat a
pickaxe, but I'm game, and I tell you,
boy, before pay ten cents for one little
| sandwich, I'll set here and roll my eyes
and swoller, all the way to Bowler
mer."-N. Y. Tribune

LODGING HOUSE LIFE.
Amenities of the Life and Some Pungent
Remarks.

Amenities of the Life and Some Pungeot
Remarks
Many of tie large old-fashioned
houees in Washington are owned by
persons whose incomes are in inverse
ratio TO the size of their dwellings,
therefore they take a few boarders or
else rent rooms In one of these houses
certain journalist has the back room
Just across the broad hall from the
back parlor.
One Friday night recently he was out
later than usual, so oversight himself
the next morning and did not leave the
house until about IL o'clock When he
opened the front door he saw hearse
and several carriages standing in front
of the house and, as he was naturally a
little curious to know who was be-
reaved, he said to a hickman who was
leaning against the fence:
srWho is dead? Where is the funeral?s'
He saws you might have knocked him
down with feather when the man re-
piled. looking at him with surprise:
In your house, sir!''
DIR. T was at that moment read
ing the burial service in the front par
| lor. The deceased, lady, was only q
| visitor in the city and her friends had,
at first, intended to take her to her
home in W-for interment; therefore,
no Grape was hung on the door and no
announcement OF her death was inserted
| in the paper. They afterward decided to
| Law her in a vault in one of the Washing
! ton cemeteries. but, as her friends were
| few, no one but the half dozen relatives
were at the funeral. Hence there was
! no confusion and no stir in the hall to
! attract attention when the journalist
| left his room E.sS
Most of the people who room in this
house are middle aged, quiet people;
the only young man, Mr.. l., has the
! hall room up one fight. Last week he
went to his landlady's sitting room in
the back building Tor L. and tapped at
| the door.
''Come in," said some one.
| So he entered, and there sat stran-
ger who looked comfortable and very
much at home, in smoking jacket, cap
| and slippers. Mr.. L. asked if his
landlady were there.
NO. said the stranger, ''she is not. .
s1'm Mr. Il said the young man.
ooh! Can I-er-er-do anything for
you?"
ST came to ask for piece of ice"
''Ohl Well, if you go downstairs and
find the servants reckon they'll give
you some"
Downstairs went Mr.. L, and,
after getting his ice, said:
'Who's that fellow in Mrs. SIS
room?''
s"That is Mr. s., sir"
s'Any relation to my landlady?"
''Mr. s.? Why, he's her husband.
| ssGoodness! I thought she was q
widow
By and by Mrs. s. came home and
her husband said: 80
''Some fellow came here awhile age
and wanted a piece of ice; said he was
Mr.. l.. Who the dickens is hep
"Why, RI exclaimed his wife
''He is the young man in the room next
to Aunt Mary; surely you knew him?'

at length at Braemar, in Aberdeen

inspection of the boat was made it was
found that at least seven of the Pinker-
tons had been killed and twenty or
thirty wounded, many of them so badly
that they will die.
As they were brought from the boat
they presented terrible appearance.
Many of them were besneared with
blood, while all of them showed signs
of exhaustion fom the long confinement
in the close quarters between decks.
Several were shot in the shoulders,
arms and legs and could scarcely limp
along. Blood was running il streams
down their shirts.
Fully thirty injured men were taken
to the town hall. One of them had his
eyes punched out by an umbrella in
the hands of a woman Sand was
thrown in the eyes of others and they
were hit by clubs and other missiles
Many were knocked down with clubs,
tramped upon and some were too weak
to walk when they were started for the
town hall.
AS the procession reached the Amal-

had to remove their hats and salute the
