NO CHECK WITH THE BABY.

A Hard-Hearted tation Agent and
Young Mother Have a Sharp Converse
tion.
But it's my baby-aren't you, dar-
ling? And l want to take him home.
He'll get sick from cold in this horrid
place"
Cant help it, madam, you'll have to
bring the check"
This was part of conversation be-
tween the station agent at Wilkins
burg and an angry mother who had her
hand on one end of baby carriage,
while the station agent held the other.
Between them was cooling baby snug
gled in the carriage. 1t was dark yes
terday evening and it was certainly
cold while the young woman expostu-
lated with the railroad official
The trouble rose this way: Baggage
Agent Dick, at East Liberty station,
wGs called on to check baby to Will
kinsburg, as the 7:4O o'clock train was
about to leave East Liberty. A young
man rushed into the office and said he
wanted baby carriage taken to Will
knsburg. Agent Dick got the check
and was attaching it when he noticed a
baby fast asleep inside. He asked the
man if he intended to leave the child
there, and he said he did.
His wife would be at the station in
Williamsburg to get the baby. When
the train arrived the young mother
tripped up to the baggage car and in
quired for her baby. The perambulator
was put off, and giving its occupant a
hasty kiss the mother started to roll it
off in triumph. Then the station agent
appeared and said:
where's the check?"
THE what, sir?"
"Why, the check. That baby came
as baggage, and can't release it with
out a check"
Then there ensued an argument which
| lasted for half an hour Another train
came along, and the husband alighted,
There was hasty explanation. The
husband produced the check, and ther
started humbly to wheel away the car
riage. 1t is said that the husband was
only listener on the home trip.-N. Y

THE TRAMP AND HIS CHICKEN
He Catches and Cooks 1t with Much Skill
md ittla Iahnr

He Catches and Cooks 1t with Much Skill
and Little Labor.
The tramp has an ingenious way OF
obtaining chicken. He must avoid all
noise. The slightest cackling on the
part of the bird would be fatal to his
dinner.
He proceeds to- get stick about ten
feet long, to the end of which he binds
cross-piece, making a rude perch.
Then, stationing himself under tree
in which the chickens are roosting, he
picks out his particular bird and gently
brings his perch up in front of her.
If the fowl does not step on at once
he rubs his perch gently up and down
against her breast until she finally
steps on and promptly goes to sleep
again. The tramp shoulders the stick
and marches up the road out of hearing
distance of the house.
How many people, after raid on
their henroost by the tramp in the dead
of night, stop to think how he cooked
his chicken? If they give the matter a
thought at all they suppose he will
start small fire and broil it. But he
will do nothing of the kind. In fact,
it would be impossible for him to do so
without removing the feathers, and, as
that would require n little labor, of
course it would not be attempted.
His kitchen utensils consist general
ly of a broken knife and tin cup.
With his knife he will kill and clean
the chicken in very much the same
way any housewife would, except that
he will make the opening in the breast
much smaller. His seat of operations
will be on the bank of some little
brook, where he will build a fire. Then
comes the part which he thorough y
dislikes, for he must work. He makes
very thin paste of clay and water,
and taking handful commences 10
rub it well over the chicken, feathers
and all.
After this is well worked in he takes
another handful of little thicker
paste and rubs it over the first layer.
So he continues, each layer being about
an eighth of an inch thick, until he
has coating of two or three inches all
over the bird. and it resembles huge
mud ball. Then he heaves sigh of re-
lief, for his labor as completed.
Nothing further is necessary but to
put the mud BALI in the fire, and in
about twenty minutes it is transformed
into savory meal. When the chick
en- is done the clay is baked like d
brick. After cracking it, it peels off,
carrying with it tke feathers anc
skin. leaving the chicken smoking
and white, delicio' morsel-N. Y,

81 once entered into conspiracy to
frighten half dozen small boys from
the evil of their ways" remarked
story teller, addressing party assem-
bled at the Laclede. 1.-THE young gen.
tlemen had been absor bing 'yaller
back literature, and were fred with
an ambition to eXterminate the Indian
race. They had procured miscellane-
Gus assortment of firearms and taken
box-car passage for the gladstone west.
They got as far as Beatrice, Neb., and
encamped in the outskirts OF the town.
They had small tent, into which they
had all crowded, and were curled up
like basket of kittens, dreaming of
future conquests, when the fathers of
three of them arrived in search of the
runaways. They held consultation
and decided to brighten the youngsters
by an Indian attack. Myself and two
other travelling men entered into the
scheme, and half the town turned out
to see the fun. We surrounded the tent
and sent up blood-curdling Indian
war whoop, then began to beat on tin
pans and fire off our pistols Then we
listened, expecting to hear cries of woe
and wall from the interior of the tent.
But we didn't, There was rafting of
old muskets and single barreled shot
guns, and second later we were fall
ing over each other to get out of range.
The youngsters aimed too high and no
one was hurt We reassembled at the
hotel and held powow. 1t was de-
