A Strong Bluff That Went with the

A Strong Bluff That Went With the
Conductor.
The game of s.bluffn in honest hands
is seldom winning one, yet an honest
young man evened a loss one day last
week through the first bit of ':blntf'' he
had ever tried in his life.
He hailed from New England and
ignorant of New York railroads was
making a trip to Mamaroneck on the
New York, New England and Hartford
line. Promised by the conductor that
he should be warned when nearing the
station, he realized nothing until he
reached Stamford, when the forgetful
official turned up to inform him regret
fully that he was a dozen miles beyond
his destination.

hack?' he inquired.
.4Don't exactly see how you could
get back any other way was the re-
ply.
With a sense of unjust treatment,
the young man purchased ticket and
rode back in the next train.

days later. This time he knew just
where his station was, but falling into
a sound sleep he let himself be carried
past it, until by strange coincidence
he found himself again at Stamford.
With an air of injured independence
he boarded the next train back.
s.See here, CONDUCTOR" he said, adj
dressing that functionary, "Tve been
carried through the stupidity of an
other of your blooming conductors
twelve miles out OF my way, and if you
suppose I'm going to pay you for TAX

You may call for any fare you please.
I'll not pay it. There's a lot more
than that due for my inconvenience.

ductor meekly, completely overawed
by the apparent depth Of resentment
confronting him.

THE DRuMMER's MISTAKE.
He Took the Wrong Bag and Didn't
Find 1T Out in Time.

He Took the Wrong Bag and Didn't
Find 1t Out in Time.
The small travelling bag is used for q
good many purposes nowadays. Office
girls carry them, typewriter girls use
them and women who sell books dis
guise their real business with them.
The latest use to which they have been
put is for marketing. The idea is said
to have been originated by a young
married woman, who wanted to go to
market, but who wouldn't be seen
coming therefrom with her arms full
Of packages or Il basket in her hand.
At last she hit upon the idea of the
travelling bag. That would do first
rate. 1t looked business like. 1t was
far better than a clumsy basket. The
idea was approved by other young
are seen in the street in the evening
carrying travelling bags they are prob
ably headed for the market, says the
New York Herald
One of these neat, prudish young
wives lives in an uptown fla. She is
the right kind of woman, for she
helps her husband by driving close
bargains on meat, vegetables and pro-
visions generally. She enjoys market
ing and has one of those popularrnsset
leather bags in which to carry home
her purchases.
This little woman has a brother who
is commercial traveller, and most of
his time is spent on the road. The
other evening the young wife returned
from marketing, trip and placed her
travelling bag on the dining-room table
while she went to remove her hat and
| gloves.
Suddenly there was a sound OF steps
outside the door and a moment later a
strong shake was given itand a hearty
voice outside said:
ssLet me in, Lou; I've got just three
minutes to spare"
1t was her brother. She hadn't seen
him for months. She threw the door
open. The brother rushed in put his
| travelling bag down on the table and
| wrapped his sister in his arms.
II leave for Buffalo tonight, Lou, !"
he said. 81 was going by on my way
to the train and | thought I'd drop in
| to get a look at you.''
Three minutes were spent in lively
conversation, then with "Good-bye,
Lou! Give my regards to the old man,
the travelling brother picked up a
travelling bag and ran down stairs.
He reached Buffalo that night, and
when he went to his room to retire he
opened the travelling bag to get a
night shirt. But he didn't find it.
| What he did find were three tomatoes,
a small head of cabbage, an egg plant,
a box of baking powder, two boiled
crabs, a bunch of celery, lettuce,
four lamb chops and a small package
in which were samples OF dress
goods. The travelling bag belonged
to his sister.

known him to take an interest in it
for years.
Thinking of that time she again
grew silent, looking with earnest eyes
across the blue waters, listening to
the soft beat of the waves on the
shore. Presently some one sank
down upon the sand beside her, and
looking up she saw it was Miss Morse,
her yellow eyes half closed, strange
look of intense watchfulness upon
her face.

kindly.

the same intensity was perceptible in
her voice, "but not yet" and then
she turned her head slightly and
looked straight into Mrs. Carson's
eyes. There was something SO sinis-

al SO familiar that Mrs. Carson gazed
repealed yet fascinated. 81 am going

that it came to Mrs. Carson's bewil-

How long time passed before she
could look away from those yellow
lights Mrs. Carson never knew, but
presently she was conscious of a great
tumult and heard the cry.
"He has gone down. Harmon has
gone down. and then the eager
watchers saw the fash of white arms
and the CLEAN of a golden head going
like bird through the water; others

where he had been seen TO sink, but
Miss Morse was the first, and as Har-
mon, half dead, came again in view
she stretched forth her hand and
caught him, aud great cry went up
and then they went down together.
A few minutes later ANOTHER shout
rang out.
''They have found him" and strong
arms brought him to the shore and
laid him down tenderly in his manly
strength and beauty, quite dead.

The Washington M E. Church
 Eleven Years Ago.


 Rev. MT. Pearson, of the NJ. E church, last Sunday preached an ami. versary sermon, the eleventh of h1s pastorate in Phoenix. That is, he came to Phoenix eleven years ago, remained one year and moved away, but re- turned four years ago and has since been in continuous service. A com. parison of the condition of the church eleven years ago with it's present con. dition is of interest.
 At that time there were seventeen members, seven of whom lived so far away ss to be unable to attend Three or four were disaffected, so that the actual working membership was about half dozen. MT. Pearson re- ceived for eight months' pastoral work the munifcent sum of $55.
 The church now has 1Sl members; a Sunday school of from 175 to 200 at- tendants and a large and fourishing Epworth league.
