THE SOONER THE BETTER.-A
few seasons ago the men at the sta.
tion on the sea coast were greatly
amused at the proceedings of young
couple evidently far gone in the
meshes of love.
Every morning at an early hour
they would put in an appearance or
the sea front and for couple OF
hours would indulge in those antics
which denote the advanced stages O,
the complaint.
This went on for several weeks
till one morning the beau, evidentl,
desirous of change, walked up t(
one Of the coastguards, and, minu:
preliminaries, said:
How soon will 1t be full tide ?n
"'Ow soon will there be q fult
tied ?" queried the old chap, medi
tatively, as he rolled his quid into
his other cheek; 8 we'll, that's wot
me an my mates AVE bin wonderin'
and fer the sake ov the girl and the
credit ov the town, we think p'rap.
ye'd better get tied as quick as "

ON THE WYOMING FLYER.D-
A man was one day making a trim
on the " flyer" of a Wyoming rail
road. Passage on these trains is
never taken except for journeys of
considerable length; walking is as
easy and much safer for short dis.
tances. On this occasion the move
ment was even more deliberate than
usual, and the passenger called the
conductor to his seat and said:
" Isn't this motion pretty slow ?"
" Well, we amt flying, admit"
May / ask what is the trouble,
then ?"
Certainly. We found q fine
two-year-old steer stuck in a trestle
back here before you got on, and
stopped and helped 1t out. You
know the rules Of the road are, in
such cases, the animal belongs tC
the company.
/" But l don't see why that should
make you run so slow"
Why, we're taking that steer tC
headquarters, got it tied behind, and
1t amt used to leadin', and don't
walk up very well. Pm doin' all ]
can-got brakeman prodding it up
with an umbre', and an ear Of corn
tied to the end Of the bell-rope. II
you think / am going to start up and
go howlin' along, and yank the horns
of as good steer as there is in this
State, why, you're mistaken, that's
all ~

Only u Hayseed.

He may have been a hayseed, saws
the Topeka State Journal. He looked
it, but way down deep in his eyes
the second time you looked you
seemed to notice suspicion of real
"slickness" that escaped you at first.
He held ticket to Tecumseh
when he got on the train at Topeka,
he gave it up promptly to the con-
ductor on demand.
When the conductor came through
the train after he had left Tecumseh
he was surprised to see the same
man sitting complacently in the
same seat.
"Ticket," said the conductor.
Haven't got any," said the man.
Then you will have to pay"
said the conductor.
"Can't do it,"
"Then will have to put you off,"
What! Right out here in the
country ?"
Right out here in the country.n
A great many of the other passen-
gers were interested at once, and the
