AGENT MEETS AGENT.
AND BILL NYE TELLS JUST WHAT
HAPPENED.

There Was . Brief Tug of War, but the
Railroad Man Did Not Send the Tele-
gram-Nye Tells Of Total Stranger Who
Wanted to Talk.
copyright, 1894. by Edgar w. Nye.l
In THE BLUE GRASS COUNTRY
AND P'NTED WESTWARD, Ho! !
Yesterday I saw our agent have lit
tie friendly setto with the agent of the
railroad. Everybody knows, of course,
that railroad in and of itself is not
malicious. It is not impudent, and it is
not born in sin. A corporation cannot
be immoral. Itcannot lead q double life
unless, of course, it should happen to be
q double track road. It cannot be born
again. It cannot climb tree. It can
not lead life of shame.
Only the officers and employees can do
these things. So when q road really vio-
lates q law of God or man it must be
done by some officer or employee.
The management of road generally
requests the public to report uncivil
treatment on the part of employees, and
If the public would attend to that lit

Warned Him.

Asan elderly man mounted the chair
Of q bootblack in aSmithield street bar
Der shop the other day he said: ''Now,
boots. want you to be careful of that
right foot. Deal gently with it."
''Oh. that's all right, boss" said the
colored bootblack as he set to work. II
know what corns is, boss
Il haven't any corns," said the Gus
TONER. The boy polished and rubbed
away, but his curiosity got the better of
him, and he ventured. "Well, bunions is
just as bad as corns, boss"
cts not q bunion," was the reply of
the gentleman, which more than sur
prised the bootblack and piqued his curl
osity.
He kept rubbing away at the shoes,
evidently weighing in his mind how he
could get at a knowledge of the trouble
in his customers foot. Finally beam of
intelligence spread over his thoughtful
features, and he said, well, rheumatic
is worse as is either corns or bunions."
He then stopped and looked expect
antly into his customers face, but q look
or complete bewl!derment took posses
sion of him when the man in the chair
said, mo, never had rheumatism"
By this time the boots were polished,
so the gentleman got up, snd after shak-
ing himself stepped down from the plat
form. But the bootblack's curiosity had
been aroused to point where it had to
be satisfied. so he threw away the indi-
rect method and asked his customer
point blank, ''Say, boss, would you
mind telling me what's the matter with
your foot!'
"Why, certainly not" was the reply.
81 lost my leg in the army, and I wear a
wooden one. didn't want you to get
the mechanism of the ankle out of gear. "
The bootblack was so surprised that
he dropped the dime which the man gave
him.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Rather Tough on Foreigners.

In "the good old time" in England
any alien could be arrested and pun
ished for the crimes and misdemeanor,
of other aliens, although having no
completely with them. They we've all
Jumped together as a class, any indi-
vidual of which was liable to be APP
pretended and held accountable for
the debts incurred or for tie ofenses
committed by any other individual Of
the class.
This cid English custom prevailed at
least as late as the reignof Edward Ill.
- i. e.. till about the middle of the l4th
century: and long after this period it
was exceedingly difficult to enact and
almost impossible to enforce laws fo?
the p%"otection of foreigners, so deeply
rooted and intense was the prejudice
against them. Even far down into the
18th century they continued to be re-
garded with extreme suspicion, and
were often subjected to gross indigni-
tics, independently OF any personal
Qualities ~ any peculiar conduct on
their part. The mere fact of their
aiienage sutficed to kindle against them
tie anger of the populace and turn the
misses into an unrlly mob.

Tracked to it. end-the railroad.
Song at two in the morning-"I do
not mind if you stay late, but you must
not hurt my vaccinate."
To blame the tool when it slips in
stead of the operator, is the impulse
of the hasty and inpatient.
There is 40 computing the number
of times we have served as a link in
the chain of the inevitable in the lives
of those whose paths we have crossed.
An honest ballot-box is a cure for all
political evils, and the people will have
that if they have to fight for it.
The truth: "Do many deaths result
from iootball?" Yes, indeed. The
majority Of spectators at a game in
variably catch gold"

His Only Cause for Fear.

1t was a long ride through adesolate
and dangerous country, and the poll
tician sought to relieve the monotony
by philOsophic musings on his recent
victory and the embarrassments that
ven success brings.
Hold up your hands,"
The staga-coach gave a lurch and
stopped. The ray Of light that shot
into the vehicle turned the scattering
rain into myriads of evanescent gems.
What do you WANT" asked the poll
tician, with a flrmness hat showed that
he had faced danger before.
Your money"
Here it is."
"Your watch and diamond ring"
They are yours"
Il must say yer good-natured, any
how" said one Of the highwaymen.
Not at all. Are you sure that's all
you desire?"
What in thunder did you think we
wanted?"
II was afraid"-and the politicians
voice trembled Il little-"that you want
ed an off O."

A family living in the country left
their home for a few months visit.
When the family returned there was
no house. no barn.. no stables and no
fences. viii a lar. e hole had been dug
where the house had formerly stood.
Suspicion pointed to a man who occu-
pied an adjoining farm, and after Il
rigid examination it was Leaned that
he had first entered the house and
stolen a cook stove. Then he took
some other articles. His next move
was to take the balance Of the furni-
tdre to town and sell it. He then APP
p%ropriatcd the fences, and later the
clubhouse to repair his own fences AID
buildings. EmbDldened by Success, he
tore down the dwelling hCu e and sod
the lumber, and, o satisfied with
stealing the furniture AID house. he
began to cXcavate the ground in order
to I'LL a low place upon his own land.

The Result Not Satisfactory.

The venerable Joaquin Miller, among
o.her eccentricities used to have a
warm spot in his heart fora tramp. He
has defended the homeless knights Of
the road and readily found excuses for
their chronic laZiness and exc esses.
Miller even built a house on hi, Cali
fornia farm for the accommodation Of
tramps, and furnished it with plain but
substantial comforts, free use of which
was given any tramp who came that
way.
The outcome he relates in an article
in the last California Magazine: "Re-
suit? In less than a year the last sheet,
FELLOWSHIP, bedspread, frying pan and
and coffee pot was gone. Not only
hat. but the windows were broken and
the sash burned. Too worthless to go
out and carry in wood, II crowd broke
up and burned my table and chairs and
when | put in M head to protest they
threatened to cremate the old crank in
his own fireplace"
