A STRANGE EXPERIENCE.
She Came Out of 1t All Right, but the Dan
 ger Was Great.

WHAT FEW PERSONS WOULD LIKE TO GO
 THROUGH IN THIS WORLD SEEMED AL
 MOST LIKE A MIRACULOUS INTERVENTION
 OF PROVIDENCE.
 One can scarcely credit it.
 Yet it all happened, and in the little town of East North Yarmouth, Maine.
 And the lady lives to-day to tell the story. Her name is Mrs. H. E. Skillin, and she is we'll known and most highly esteemed.
 It seems-but we will let her relate the matter in her own words, just as she gave them to our reporter.

They won't dry in the steam table, and we don't get out that first edition with minute to spare. If we do miss all the eastern mail some after noon"-
 ."Yes, yes. I'll attend to that at once, s said the hoodwinked business manager. He had heard the same long winded complaint only fifteen minutes before from the pressman and again from the stereotyper, and he did not want ;s repe- tition. As he looked down again to his writing Simmons nodded intelligently. and Jack went out the office door.

A rhoughtless old Gentleman.

It was the night rush hour" on the Brooklyn bridge trains. More people were crowded into one of the cars at the New York terminus than had any right to be there without risking suffocation. Through the side entrance to the car came three young and pretty girls, swept on by the tide of humanity. The car was crowded, but that didn't mat ter. In the crush the girls were help less. They couldn't help being pushed into the car, and an instant later they couldn't withstand the counterpush which seated one of them, willy nilly, on the knees of an old gentleman. In the jam her two companions were thrust against this young woman, and pre- vented her from rising. It was not un- til the train was we'll on its trip-toward Brooklyn that the crowd gave way a little and she was enabled to regain her footing. She begged the old mans par don sweetly enough, but to her friends she said not word until the three were safely out of the car and on the platformI of the Brooklyn station. Then she freed her mind.
 "That's what call an impolite man, she declared
 "Why?" said one of her companions, "I thought he behaved beautifully. He didn't say word"
 "That's just the trouble" snapped the other. He didn't have the grace even to say, Keep your seat, madam. '"-New York Times.
