A RAILWAY EPISODE.
The Little Man Proved Himself Not ,
Coward.


Coward.
you're a coward and liarw
1t was an excitable man who said
this In a railway train in Florida to a
chance acquaintance, quiet, dignitied
man, in the course of conversation
ON political affairs. The insult brought
an angry flush to the face of the man
addressed, who was a clergyman, but
he did not lose self-control, says the
Youths Companion.
at Is not brave man." he said
'who calls stranger a coward and q
liar after ten minutes conversation

trivial difference of opinion. Our talk
is at an end, sir"
They had been sitting in the smok-
Ing section of a sleeping-car. When
they returned to their seats in the
body of the car they noticed that loud,
Indecent and profane conversation was
In progress. A tall, muscular man,
who had got on the car at the last sta
ton with a companion, was making
himself extremely offensive by his foul
talk.
The quiet little man who had been
called a coward few minutes be-
fore stepped up to him, pointed to n
group of ladies in the car and request
ed him ITO put his tongue under re
straint.
"What business is it of yours?" was
the angry reply.
you are reviling the name of the
Creator" said the minister. with in
flexible firmness, land He is my
friend. That makes it an affair of
mine"
The bully replied with volley of
oaths, which drove the ladies back into
the remotest corner of the car. His
companion vainly endeavored to quiet
him.
"Tll teach the whining little hypo-
crita," he cried, mot to interrupt gem
tlemen In their conversation"
The minister appealed to the conduc-
tor of the train to silence the ruffian.
The bully defied anyone to approach
him and threatened to bring suit
against the company If he were eject
ed from the train.
stop the train" said the minister,
"and I will take care of this swag-
gerer."
The moment the train was stopped
the brute rose and threatened to shoot
anybody who should attempt to lay
hand upon him. The little minister
went boldly up to him, tapped him
lightly on the shoulder and told him
TO leave the train. The bully's reply
was a vicious but ill-directed blow
which his little antagonist parted
with SKILL for he was an expert boxer
Then the little man closed In an in
slant upon the big man, gave him blow
after blow in quick succession, forced
him to retreat to the platform and
finally flung him to the ground, where
he lay begging for mercy.
The conductor allowed him to return
to the car under pledge of remaining
quiet for the remainder of the journey.
The plucky minister's first antagon-
list in argument was witness of
this scene and ut once went to him and
made a manly apology.
81 called you Il coward on ten min
utes' acquaintance" he said. 81 now
acknowledge that you are the bravest
man / ever met, although you will ex
cuse me, / am sure, If say that have

ments Of the character of those by
which you have so effectually brought
