something you'd appreciate, I've got
one copy here, and | don't mind giving
you the first show for it."
The young man seemed to be gratiiled
by these remarks, and did not conceal
the solf-conscious expression of his face
as he took the volume and turned over
the leaves.
"What does it cost?" he inquired.
swell, the price marked on it is fifty
cents, but you know it's the last in the
lot and getting mighty rare. But I'll
let you have it for seventy-five cents,
seeing tomorrow is Christmas"
Well, the young man bought the
book and probably had his moneys
worth, as he seemed deeply interested
in its contents from that time forward.
The volunteer next attacked me, and
had no serious difficulty of swindling
me out of twenty-five cents on five
cent package Of cough-drops, which he
declared would cure any disorder of
the human system In miraculously
short time.
The seat in front of mine was occu-
pied by typical priest Now, never
saw but two types of travelling priests
-one the German and the other Irish.
This one was Enthusiastically Irish
quite willing and ready for tourna-
ment of wit-and match for the ire
pressible drummer. His sharp thrusts
at the salesman were npplauded by the
little cotcrie of friends across the aisle.
1t seemed to me that the cunning RUDE
was purposely laying himself open to
give pointers to the priest. However
that may be, he managed to leave his
reverence poorer by a silver dollar,
but in an excellent humor with himself
and all the world.
The industrious salesman had by this
time proceeded beyond the range of
hearing, but was steadily gaining in
popularity, and as he progressed shouts
of mirth greeted him. Almost every
one entered into the spirit of the enter
prise, and his stock was considerably
diminished before he had passed out to
enter the next car, for it was the
smoker, and if he had successfully
broken the ice in our car he was just
the man to reap harvest amongst the
democratic and anarchistic smokers.
The original and only train boy was
an interesting sight, His dependency
had evaporated. He no longer put me
in mind Of sick chicken on rainy
day, unable to find comfortable shell
ter; his dependency had taken wings.
He no longer dropped, but sat erect in
his seat. His dough-colored face took
on mahogany tint. The dull eyes
were sparkling with a new light. Hope
had given him back his manhood and
courage, He could appear before his
! humble family in the character of O

protector and provider. He could re-
spond to the welcome home as every
true man loves to respond with some
new comfort for those he loves. He
would come home with good tidings for
Christmas; for the jolly Samaritan had
sold enough in our car to insure his
hopes.
But here comes Rube, returning from
his labors with an empty basket and
but two volumes of the disrcputable
literature which forms the bulk of sup
ply for the trainboy-''The Mistakes of
Noses" and Nance" There is a smile
lurking beneath his mustache--I can
detect it by the dimples in each cheek
and there is sunshine in his eyes.
Six feet of you, RUDE, and every inch
of you mani l would like to shake
hands with you, old fellow, for there is
big heart humping under your vest;
a heart in proportion to your great
body. No doubt you are q sinner, Rube
1--WE are all sinners, for that natter,
but you are a saint on this Christmas
eve, People disposed to be critical may
deplore your lack of dignity and the
cynical may say you have made an ass
of yourself; but that will not trouble
you, old fellow. Your face is aglow
with brightness brought from heav-
emily places, that ridiculous cap on your
head is crown of glory to you, RUDE.
You have preached for me an eloquent
sermon, lesson of uses. You have
shown me that sentimental emotion is
of no value or account. Benevolent
wishes are moral vaporings unless they
find their ultimate in doings. The gifts
you possess you have cheerfully laid on
the altar of charity, all unconscious of
having done anything for your own
glory, delighting only in the JOY you
have bestowed upon your neighbor-a

BILE Rube "Here, Jimmie, hand me
your basket, and give me your cap"
With this he snatches the official cap
from the small head of the news vender
and places it on his own large Uranium.
Nothing could be more comical than
the effect of the train boys cap perched
on the zenith altitude of the prema-
turely bald head of the jolly CONNER
cial traveller, while his own capacious
derby almost settled on the shoulders
of the train boy.
RUDE stood up fully six feet in his
shoes, and should judge would turn
the scale considerably beyond two hun
bred pounds. All of which added to
the absurdity of the situation, and
without more ado, beaming with jollity
and good nature, off he started on his
expedition of charity.
The weary and homesicl travellers in
our immediate vicinity at first stared,
then smiled, then seemed to awake
from their melancholy reveries to an
interest in something that bid fair to
relieve the monotony of the tiresome
hours of travel.
