4 rrttte Complicated, to BE Sure.

The young woman III lhe lur-Iininleu
cape had not time to buy a tenride ticket
and boarded the train without one.
"Will you sell me ride off your ticket ?"
she said, addressing young woman with a
big red hat who sat on the other side of the
aisle.
Certainly" answered the other, tear
ing off coupon representing ride and
handing it to her.
"Thanks. Can you change a quarterT'
"No. have no change"
"Well, I'll get the conductor to change
it. Just keep the ticket for me please, till
he comes through"
"Oh, no You take the ticket"
"No. You take it"
Tickets ~
1t was the conductor who spoke.
The young woman in the fur-trimmed
cape, who had taken the ticket, lost 1t in
the bundles she was carrying, and was by
this time uncertain whether she had receiy-
ed it or not, held out her 25-cent piece to
the conductor, and said:
Change it for me, please?"
Certainly"
And he handed her some small coins and
passed on.
She looked at them hurriedly, leaned
across the aisle, and said to the young wom-
an in the big red hat
II didn't need ticket. He took the ride
out of the quarter and gave me the change
"what did you let him do that for?
handed him ticket for you when | gave
him mine"
"what did you do that for?' inquired an
elderly matron in the same seat. "You
had given her a ticket already"
"Had 1? l had forgotten that. Their
he's got one more ticket than he ought K
have and has taken the pay for her ride be
sides"
"Maybe he didn't keep out any money,
suggested the matron. "Haye you LOOKED
at the change he gave you, miss? Did yo'
count it ?"
"Why, surely thought-there | put /
in my purse along with some other money
and now don't know whether he kept an,
out or not Oh, dear Pm getting all mix
ed up Won't you please count what's IL
my purse! 1t may be that can remembe
when know how much there is"
And she went across the aisle and emp
tied the contents of the purse in the other
lap.
''You shouldn't have done that" hastil
exclaimed the young girl in the big red hat

there myself. And here's loose ticke
too. Where did that come from?"
"Oh, don't know. Wasn't it there a
ready?"
81 don't know. Have you any idea ho'
much money was in your purse"
"Not the slightest" said the agitated giT
in the fur.trimmed cape, wringing he
hands wildly. "How much change ha
you dropped in your lap?"
81 haven't the remotest idea. And
don't see how we are ever going to straight

SWEET PEAS.

When sunset clouds are hued with rose,
Down garden paths my lady goes
To pluck the pink sweet peas.
Her fond eyes show she loves them much,
As does her tender fnger-touch.
As airy as the breeze.
She leans and fingers over them,
| watch them kiss her garments hem,
Her wooers. every enc;
Wheneer they see her radiant face,
They seem to sue some glance OF grace
AS sunflowers sue the sud.
How may win her dear regard?-
A task which swains have found so hard
That all, forsooth despair =
I'll try if there be any spell
In wearing on my coat lapel
A sweet pea boutonniere.

Charles Stowe, of Girard, adds this We
racious narrative to the recorded instan-
ces of almost human intelligence in ami.
mails:
1--WE read q good DEAL" said Dir.
Stowe, "about the intelligence Of ele.
plants, but there is circus elephant out
in Geneva, O., that is the smartest and
most intelligent elephant on earth.
"Once in awhile cyclone sweeps over
the Buckeye State and levels buildings
to the ground. This elephant, whose name
is Snoozer, knows as much about meteor
illogical conditions as the entire force Of
the weather bureau combined. Not long
ago, as Snoozer cast his weather eye out
of the window, he saw a cyclone TO the
southeast headed dead on the menagerie
building.
"sIipping his chain and graspiog an
ak his trunk he went out TO the wind
ward of the building and drove guy
stake deep in the ground. The cyclone
was then but mile off and was rapidly
nearing the building. Rushing inside,
Snoozer unfastened the cage containing
the giant python, and seizing the big
snake in trunk trotted outside and tied
his tail 10 the guy stake. Then rearing
himself Oh bis hind legs he fastened the
python's head around the center chimney
of the building. The cyclone was now
but quarter Of mile away.
"Dashing around to the leeward Of the
building, the intelligent pachyderm
braced his powerful legs in the ground
and put his head against the side Of the
building The cyclone was now but 100
yards Of. The next instant it struck the
managerie with terrific force. The su-
perior intelligence Of the elephant was
here most evident. If he had taken a
chain and fastened 1t TO the wlndward
side Of the building, il would have been
snapped like thread, but the python
was elastic, and he stretched just enough
to hold the building in place, together
with the elephants brace on the other
side. The force Of the cyclone was so
great that it stretched the python 10 feet
and showed Snoozer's legs down into the
hard ground up to bis body.
"When the cyclone passed over, Snooz.
er trotted around, united the python, re-
placed it in It's cage, pulled up the guy
stake with his trunk, returned the Ak to
| its place, slipped the chain over his FORE
foot and contentedly resumed his noon
day neal Of hay"

Crowds.
The Hotel Mohopole recently completed,
though for some time running to Its full
capacity, was only formally opened on
Saturday evening, when the entire house
was thrown open for inspection, an oppor-
tunity which was speedily taken advantage
of our citizens and they thronged the
beautiful house throughout the afternoon
and evening, expressing in unqualified
terms their feelings of delight as the
charm and beauty Of the various apart
ments appeared. The great banqaeting
hall with several hundred covers adjoining
the great table, was q brilliant spectacle,
with glittering crystal, shining silver,
ferns, plants of various kinds, and every
| delicacy of the season In abundance,
triumphs of culinary skill in CONNECTIONS
| and table pieces, lobster sslads, game In
every conceivable form. Everybody visited
| the winerooms, the "Ysle" room, the
Harvard" room and the gold room which
| were lavishly decorated with plants and
| choice flowers and made brilliant with the
electric and gas light from the novel
| chandeliers. Mine host, James T. Damn,
welcomed everybody and with the liberal
| hospitality which has characterized the
house since Its inception, no one but fel,
that true spirit of good fellowship was
present and psrsonated by the genial host.
| The good vlands were discussed and the
sparkling wine flowed in unprecedented
| abundance.
| Everywhere one met groups of visitors
| discussing the merits of the house, the ad
l vantages and accommodations it afforded
the travelling public, and much marvel was
| felt that Mr.. Dunn should have such con-
| fdence in the business future of New Hs.
ven to so heavily invest in a hotel plant.
! The cafe, public billiard parlor with its
| background of open hearth and cracking
wood fire, the private billiard room, the
| private dining rooms and other features OF
| the house were all visited in turn, and every.
| thing voted as modern and cup to date
| The guest rooms were also open to in.
| spection and were the objects of much
praise. Altogether the opening of the 10
til Monopole was in every respect bril-
| liant success.
