 From the R,,ffalo Eynress1


 A man with very red face. a bristly moustache and q Weather beaten suit of clothes got on Delaware & Lacka- wanna train the other afternoon and began to talk the minute he had found seat. His voice was harsh and rough and even iths: noise of the wheels e9 could not drown ft.
 His shirt was of gray flannel and he had tied around his neck a red and black muff1er, which answered for a necktie He hadn't been, talking long before he pulled the muff1er off and stuffed it into one of his pockets. Then he unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and let his voice out a notch or two.
 At EastBuffalo hewas saying:"Yessir, I come to the way of, thinkin' that a man who buys milk of man what's got cows is jes naturally fraud. Now. I've ten coWs,and in the last three years l sold my milk to six different milk mans. An, bgosh, they was only one of there six milkmans that didn't have to sue. l sued five on 'em, an, b'gosh l haint got all my money yet Some way, when a man gifts to buyin' .milk he gifts to bein' a thief. They's sum- thin about it that jes natcherally makes him robber. Wy, I got ten as fine cows as ever chewed a. cud an they give milk the like of what ain't sold i'll Buff'lo. But, anxious as them there milkman was t get that there milk of mine, nun of 'em was anxious t settle. So had to sue him.
 T got my suspicious of the feller what paid me, too. You see, my wife's bin dead four years the nine of las October, an he's got daughter whats good forehanded sort of a girl. I kinder figured out that he, knowin that l was purity fair sort of a feller fer husban', as husban's. go Lancaster way, an, bein' as his daughter didn't have no luck gettin' hor of a young feller fer man, he sot out to get me marrit off t her an git hor of my cows them ten rattlin' good milkers-at the same time. He kinder kep' hintin 'roun' that it was high time put off my widderer's weeds an got another woman t look after my place, an, at the same time, he kep' payin' me fer my milk good an reg'lar an I let him hint and said nothin,.
 Things run along an bimeby begin thlnkin' that that there might not be such mighty bad scheme after all. The girl, as was tellin ye, was good lookin' an forehanded, an | kinder shined up ter her an made the least mite of love. She didn't seem contrary wise an we got along frs rate, tn or man buyin' my milk all the time an payin' of me for it.. was led along an led along, an, one day, I iess. made up my min that needed that there girl an I sot out t ast her. I tol' her what was what I had ten rattIin' good milkers an some ilapss most. all paid for. an was stiddy an all that there sort of stuff, an plump out an ast her t marry me-. ', ...t,=. -...
 The red-faced man stopped and sigh ed deeply. Wouldn't she do it ?" asked the brakeman. .4f
 "NaW' replied the red-faced man. She said she didn't care to tie up with such an ol' skate as I; ,was--them was her edzat words-an' felt almighty foolish. I kin tell ye. Kinder blasted them there hopes, y know, what had been cherishin' for so long" The red raced man sighed deeply again. "But that there wasn't the worst, by a dumb- sight" he continued dolefully; .,the olastin' of my hopes wasn't the worst" Why" asked the brakeman, 'what happened?"
 Her dod-blame,; s,ther went out of the mix bizness, a.l' they hain'ti a man Tn the hull town I kin sell my milk to an git my pay." . Y -- II "
