One of the shortest of New Jersey pol
iticians is authority for the statement
that Paterson girls have laughed him
out of job. He is an unusually hand

of the most bashful men in the Gf2ta
After the legislature adjourned h14po-
litical friends got him appointed Con
ductor Of Paterson trolley car. AL
would have gone well If the silk mill
girls hadn' t got talking about him among
themselves. Their attention was at
tracted by seeing the good looking lit
tie conductor jump up to ring the bell
or record fare. This, though only mod
erately funny at first, grew in humor as
each girl became conscious that other
girls were watching him as they rode
on his Car from day to day. They called
him "Shorty" among themselves. and
soon it came about that if his car con-
tainded any silk mill girls they all
smiled in unison whenever fare was
rung up.
At length the bashful bachelor con-
fided his trials to friend. He was ad-
vised to hold Oh to his conductorship
through the hard times Accordingly
he smothered his feelings for time.
One day the traveller got Off the trolley
wire, and he couldn't reach the rope
that hangs from tho arm. The car was
standing still, and it was full of girls
who had nothing to do but watch the
little conductor. Every time he jump
ed and missed the rope the girls laugh
ed.
This was too much. When the month
ended he notified the railroad company
that he was going to leave to take a JOB
at his former trade. Paterson Stand.

A Warning to the Chaps Who Think the

Emmett Washburn and Irving Smith
were on their way to Wilbur's mill,
near Pinesville, in upper Delaware val
ley, the other day. Washburn was drivs
ing team Of valuable young horsea
The sun was shining brightly over thcii
heads, but the sky to the northward
was black with thunderclouds. The
last thing Washburn remembered while
they were driving along was that he
was listening to a fish story Smith was
telling him, when suddely there came
frightful crash over their heads and d
flash Of intense light.
The next thing Washburn remembers
is his finding himself lying in the bot
tom of his wagon, with Smith lyin;
near. After awhile he was able to rise
and look about him. Both of his horsel
lay dead in the road Smith revived
soon afterward. The sun was still shir-
ing brightly, and the thunderclouds IL
the north had broken away. A thunder
bolt from clear sky had evidently
burst upon them. Each horse had
hole in his neck. Smith was wearing =
pair Of blue overalls, with a patch in
each knee. The patches were gone, hav.
ing been cut out around the edges as
neatly as if the separation was done
with pair Of shears. The rim Of Wash
burns straw hat had been cut entirely
away in the same manner.
Neither of tee men was injured Il
the slightest degree, but each felt
strange numbness in his body and limbs
for two hours. They buried the horses
at the roadside.
A popularity of this freak Of freaky
lightning is that while Smith can re-
member distinctly the story he was tell
ing Washburn up to the point when it
was interrupted by the thunderbolt he
cannot remember the closing part of
it, although he Gays the incidents Of it
happened to him this season, and he
had told the story several times. The
team was valued at $500.-Hoverdale

To Europe For $40.

To Europe for $40, including board
and lodging, is the present rate OF the
competing steamship lines. Persons
who make frequent trips first class can
not view the war in steerage rates with
out some feelings Of envy. The remark
able price of $40 for a trip of from
seven to nine days, with good sanitary
quarters, plenty of wholesome food and
drink, and IN record breaking steamer
at that, is one reason for the very large
emigration during the past two months.
Though the transatlantic Companies
are fighting to the death for the steerage
traffic, they display an altogether won
derful degree of indifference to first class
passengers. Competition in this direo-
ton is apparer tly barred by cast iron
mutual agreement. New York Sun.
