NOT ASHAMED OF 1T,
Was Willing to Bet That No Other
Fellow Could Catch That Train.

Fellow Gould Catch That Train.
From the Utica Observer.
While waiting at a railroad station not
many miles distant from Utica the other
day for an east-bound train" said a man.
"a train passed going west AS the end Of
the train pulled out of the station a man
with unusually long legs was seen running
into one end of the depot and out of the
other to the platform. He started after
the moving train at a lively gait. He car
ried two grips. one in either hand and they
swung to and fro in a laughable manner
On he went, and on the train went He
gained on the train at first, but the train
was all the time picking up. and he finally
stopped. He walked back leisurely, the on
lockers at the depot waiting till he came
up to give him the laugh. AS he approac hei
them he dropped his grips quietly put his
hand In his pocket pulled out a roll Of
bills, selected a SO rote, and exclaimed:
I'll bet SO there is not a man in this
whole crowd who can catch that trainr'
of course there were no takers nor did
any one laugh at him for failing to catch
the train himself, either"

Fears the Kodak.
From the New York Recorder.

From the New York Recorder.
Congressman Everett is morbidly afraid of
the kodak fiend. He can't bear the thought
of being pinned down i'm a negative for all
time in the every day guise which answers
for his work as a statesman. He was walk
ing toward the Capitol. i'm company with
Speaker Crisp when he spied young man
coming his way with a mysterious black
satchel in his hand. The doctor didn't wait
to ask any questions. He bolted precipi-
lately, dodged behind a pillar, and, duck
ing his. head, Scra mblei fer a dark place
with the celebrity of boy running the
gauntlet. The Speaker stopped short to
laugh at the Massachusetts scholars pre-
dicament. and the laugh was on the dcctck
all the more when 1t was discovered that
the kodak had caught him in his most pic
turesQue attitude.
