Colonel Sumpter Mcbride of Austin
has been spending several weeks in New
York. A few days ago, being in need of
some money, he applied to a Broadway
bank to cash a draft.
What is your manner" asked the pay
ing teller.

tin, Travis county, Tex"
You will have to be identified, colo
nel."
This was something that the colonel
had not taken into consideration. He
knew of nobody who could identify him
and was about to leave the bank when a
happy thought occurred to him. He
reached into his breast pocket and
brought out a,~photograph of himself,
and holding it under the nose of the
bank clerk said, '.There, sir; 1 guess that
settles it."
"Of course that's your photograph,
but how does that identify you?"
well, sir, will you please tell me
how could have my photograph taken
if wasn't myself" Siftings.

Che Thought the bag Was Hers Until She
Looked Inside.
The other day an omnibus full of pas
sengers drove up to its suburban terlni-
mus. Side by side sat commercial trav-
sler and lady temperance lecturer. The
traveller seized his bag and made move
to get out. The lady made a snatch after
him, and he halted.
II beg your pardon" she said, "but
YOU have my bag"
"You are certainly mistaken madam, 4"
the traveller said courteously, but firmly.
"This bag is mine"
mo, sir" the lady replied firmly; cit
is mine. / should know it among a
thousand. You must not take it."
But the traveller persisted, and the lady
insisted, and they came very near quar-
reling.
Presently one of the passengers point
ed to a twin bag in the omnibus and said:
Whose is that"
ut isn't mine," said the traveller. 1T
is Just like it, but this is mine"
"And it isn't mine," said the lady. "He
has mine, and l want it, and I'll have it.
It's pity if lady can't travel alone in
this country without being robbed of her
property in broad daylight"
Finally the traveller said he would open
the bag to prove his property.
The lady objected at first, saying she
did not want her bag opened in the pres
ence of a crowd of strangers.
But as there were no other means of
settling the dispute she at length con-
sented.
The traveller took out key, opened
the bag, and the curious crowd bent for
ward to see.
On the top of everything lay big,
fat flask half full of whisky, a pack of
cards, meerschaum, a quarter of
pound of tobacco and snutfbox.
The traveller was the first to recover
his self possession and speech.
Madam" he said, "you are right.
The bag is yours. l owe you thousand
apollo
But the lady had tainted, and the
traveller relocked his bag, with a quiet
smile.

A Fatallst. but Cautious,

Most men who profess belief in des-
tiny and an indifference to fate, when
brought face to face with a danger OIL
placed in desperate situation, seek tc
avoid rather than embrace the inevita-
BILE result of the event regarding which
they have held such philosophical opin-
ions.
A case in point is related by traveller
returning from the south and hinges up
on the experiences of a minister of the
foreordination school of belief on a Mis-.
sissippi steamer in the good old fashioned
days Of river racing, when a negro sat
on the safety valve and the furniture
and woodwork of the boat fed the fire.
The captain, seeing a rival boat half a
mile ahead, began to curse in true old
time style and ordered tar pine knots,
naval stores, bacon, ETC., to be thrown
in to kindle the fire as hot as possible.
AS the steam got higher and higher and
the old boat trembled and groaned un.
der the pressure, the preacher drew
nearer and nearer to the stern.
Noticing this, and never losing an op-
portunity to crack a joke, the bluff cap
tain tapped the fatalist on the shoulder
and said: Hello, Brother Blank, what's
ailing you? | thought you was one of
them fellows what believes what is to
happen will happen no how"
80 do" replied the clergyman, draw
ing himself up. 80 do, but want to
be as near the stern as possible when it
does happen. New York Herald

An Ice rloo Flashing Light.

A remarkable phenomenon was wit.
messed on the Thames during the even.
ing Of Friday. A number of pedestrian
on Vauxhall bridge were startled hy
noticing that one of the large masses oi
ice which were floating with the tide was
emitting flashes of light at intervals OF
about six seconds. Not only was this
curious and unusual sight seen from
Vauxhall bridge, but one gentleman who
had noticed it at Chelsea bridge followed
it along the Thames embankment fol
some distance.
The area of the mass was several
square yards, and this was the only one
out of the many hundreds which were
passing the bridge at the time that pre-
sented any unusual appearance. Con.
lectures We're numerous at the time as to
the cause of the flashes, but no satisfac-
tory explanation was arrived at.-Pall

A lady, whose Christian name was
Jane and who had little daughter
named for her, was engaging a house
maid whose name also proved to be Jane.
Knowing that the preponderance of the
one name in the household would occa-

tall, angular spinster, with high cheek
bones and angular features:
