She Was Not Satisfied.

A well known commercial traveller re-
marked that he had been in at least
score of railroad accidents Il have al
ways enjoyed the very best of drummer's
luck, ;" said he, for, oddly enough. con-
sidering the number of commercial travel
ers in the country, the proportion of acct
dents among the craft is very small. This
is due probably to the fact that the com
mercial men, as class, travel in drawing
room and sleeping cars, which, from their
great weight, fare better than ordinary
cars in an accident, and hence have come
to be considered by the drummers as the
very best accident policy.
lone of the first smashups that I ever
experienced, he continued, occurred in
March about ten years ago on the Missis-
sippi Valley road, not far from jackson.
As an accident it amounted to nothing. A
misplaced switch threw a north bound ex-
press car off the track and delayed US for
several hours.
THE Car which contained a consign-
ment of Louisiana straw berries destined
for Chicago was burst open by the shock,
and the crates containing the fruit, only
slightly damaged, were scattered around
This was too good an opportunity for the
passengers and trainhands to miss, and
SO all went for the berries.
There chanced to be in the Pullman
car a young bride and bridegroom. The
latter, anxious to get any delicacy for his
wife, obtained a quantity of the berries,
which he carried into the car for her.
. See what 1 have for you, said he
ooh, how good of your she replied
Strawberries in March, and such beauti-
full ones too! But, she continued a mo-
ment later where are the sugar and
cream? I can't eat berries without them.
THE train conductor, who heard the
a.
accident Well arrange to have a shipment
of sugar and cream spilled out with the
berries. Then the passengers will have no
reason to complain of their treatment,
even in the case of smashup.' Then he
left the car muttering something about
fool women and 50, 900 accidents New

seems to be little doubt that the great
f1stic contest between James ]. COrbett
and Robert Fitzsimmons for the heavy
weight championship and stakes and
purse money amounting to $4,000, will
come off as per agreement Ever
since "Fitz" figured in the IN
fortunate bout with his spsrring
partner, 'Con" Riordan, resulting in the
death of the latter, the troubles of the
middle weight champion seem to have
multiplied. AS a result Fitzsimmons is
now crippled financially and is unable to
make good his third deposit in his match
with Corbett
His recent trouble with his manager,
Captain Glori, has compelled him to APP
