From the Buffalo Express.
thin man, dressed in very old and very
ragged clothes, stood on the corner of
washington and Exchange streets about 8
O'Clock last evening and shivered. He
looked cold. His face was pinched and
drawn and his nose was blue
He accosted a well-dressed man who
was coming down Washington street.

give me few cents toward gettin' some

thing passin' my lips but water, an I'm
weak an faint with hunger Besides, I've

The well-dressed man walked by and paid
no attention to the plaint The tramp look
ed after him and cursed under his breath
Then another well-dressed man came along
and the tramp accosted him. "Say, boss, +"
he said, I'm hungry. I amt eat in tree

The well-dressed man stopped. what

The tramp took courage and he told his
tale Of woe again, embellishing it with sew
eral new and pathetic features

''Yessir I bin right here, but they's 50

dressed man, fumbling in his vest pocket
The tramp's face lighted up. "Anythin'
We like, boss" he replied, "only let 1t be
big enuff t git me a meal"
The well-dressed man hesitated He was
lost In thought, apparently. Then he reach
ed into an inside pocket and pulled out a
pocket book. The tramp's eyes bulged out
and he started forward. The well-dressed
man opened the pocket book and took out
a square bit Of pasteboard. The tramp held
out his hand. There" said the well-dress-
ed man, II guess that will fix you"
What is it, boss?" asked the tramp,
eagerly: "Hain't check. is it?'
mo, it's a meal ticket"
The tramp fell back. His face was the
picture of disappointed hope. He shook his
head.
Don't you want it?' asked the we'll
dressed man.
Nav" replied the tramp. Il don't want
It,"
But I thought you hadn't eaten any
thing for three days"
The tramp smiled derisively. Oats my

as he started to move away. "T'ings has

FOR INDOOR WEAR.

From the New York Herald.
The charge that American gentlemen are
too somber in their dress cannot truthfully

of the business or dress coat when it is laid
aside for an evening at home is bright or
rich in coloring, fancy in the finish and
comfort giving in the Mt. Time was

come to her at last.
Late that afternoon two Of the deacons
Of the Choogaloo Baptist Church. coming
up the road. saw Parson Kimbro and Arr
xony standing together before the ministers
gate. They approached slowly, with sober
faces and an air Of embarrassment

senior deacon Of the church, lat our las

The two deacons exchanged chances.
when Mr.. McJenkin continued:
"Parson. you hev ben our shupp'rd fur

The Parson felt Arizony's clasp upon his
arm tighten: It nerved him to yet greater
plainness Of speech, as he said solemnly:
"Shall not a man cleave ter his wife be-

"Shorely-yit-" stammered the deacon,
but the minister interrupted him sternly:
This woman is my wife-my beloved
wife-tr1ed by affiiction, yet still pure and
worthy. I would do much fur my dear

Diseased Milk,
written for the Dispatch)

The northern cities are using strenu-
Gus efforts To obtain good pure milk for
their population and tuberculosis" tor
consumption in cows Is being constantly
watched for Veterinary surgeons are
being employed by the various States to
examine the cows at the different dairies,
and with the result that numbers are be-
ing slaughtered every day. Richmond
and It's suburbs are filled with cows sur
fering with this disease. which can be
communicated 10 the human being by the
consumption OF milk from such animals
How important is it then that such leSis-
lation should be taken TO avoid as much
as possible one OF the scOurGes or hu-
manity. One Of our largest dairy conpa-
MES has employed me for the last TWO
years TO examine all the cows on the
different farms that they obtain their
milk from. and I can safely state that at
this present time the GO cows that
examine are in every way healthy and
free from this terrible disease. The
State ought to have all the cows examined
belonging TO private parties as well as
the dairies, for the private COW and those
belonging to small dairies are more
likely to be suffering from this disease
than those kept in the large dairies Tor
the reason that the large dairymen Will
not keep COW that gives a small and
inferior quantity OF milk, as most OF
these tuberculous cows do, wniie the
private party and small dairymen milk
las "A rule) a COW as long as she gives
a drop of milk. Let us hope that the
Board Of Health will see into this matter
as 1t Is just as important to fight the
