SHE JOINED THE CHASE.
Dragged Along by Her Bulldog in His
Pursuit of Cat.

am not an admirer of that product
of canine civilization-the toy dog
but when it comes to selecting a COM
panion for promenade l am prepared
to maintain that for woman the toy
dog is much preferable to the bulldog,
says correspondent of the n. Y. Her
aid. That conclusion was arrived at
after witnessing something that occur
red in Fifth avenue the other day.
A spinster of the emancipated woman
type was leading bulldog by a chain
and evidently enjoying the terror which
its presence inspired among her weaker
sisters who were still bound in the
chains of conventionalism. The bull
dog, with the istless good nature pecu-
liar to its species, paid no attention to
anybody or anything until a predatory
cat essayed to cross the street few
feet in front of it. If there is one thing
more than another that bulldog is
death on it is cat.
The situation was instantly reversed.
The bulldog was leading the emanci-
pated woman mad chase across the
avenue in pursuit of the feline that
stood not moment on the order of its
going. The street was crowded with
kindly providence which tempers the
wind to the shorn lamb and the fall to
the drunken man happened Just then to
be taking keen interest in the fate
that woman of advanced views that hef
life was preserved. As it was, the re-
cording angel must have had particu-
larly busy two minutes taking steno-
graphic notes of the oaths that were
uttered by excitable jehus as they threw
their horses on their launches.
On the opposite side of the street the
cat sped down a flight of steps leading
to an areaway and hoped onto win
dow sill, where it was beyond the reach
of its less agile foe.
The woman, either because she
wouldn't or couldn't let go the chain.
was lugged down the same steps, mar
rowly escaping fall, and for five min
utes she stood there tugging vainly at
the chain while the dog strained and
leaped and barked in fruitless efforts To
get within biting distance of puss.
The crowd that gathered around en-
joyed the woman's discontinue. Not
man offered to assist her.
1T just serves her right. remarked
pretty girl to her companion. ~She
ought to know better than to go around
with such a horrid brute.
All the women present were evidently
of the same opinion. a policeman, at
tracted by the crowd, finally came to
her rescue and by main strength pulled
the dog up the steps, while the terrified
cat made tracks for parts unknown.
And the emancipated woman hadn't
sufficient presence of mind left to re-
sent the observation of the representa-
tive of the law that women amt got
no right to 90 foolin' around with
huIIdpr apuhoyu

RAILROADlNC IN MAINE.
A Conductor Stranded in the Woods. with
His Train Divided.

q wanted to go to Mars Hill," said
the drummer, sand man at Houlton
said that the train would leave Houlton
late in the afternoon and reach Mars
Hill early in the evening. Along with
lot of other unfortuuates, equally anX-
ious to get up the line, got into the
stifiing car and waited. Supper time
came and went-no start Apassenger
went out to investigate and found that
in some unaccountable way the engine
had pulled away with the freight cars
and left the caboose standing on the
track. Some one had forgotten to
shackle it, we were told.
"'But, you'd all better wait, said the
yardman. They won't get far before
they'll miss the car and come back
"But, as we learned afterward, the
conductor got on board the engine at
Houlton station and rode away, sup
posing the caboose was securely shackled
behind. About twenty miles up the
line he dropped off the engine on a
grade when the train was running slow
ly, intending to catch on to the caboose
when it came along. But to his amaze
ment when the end of the train swung
past him there was no caboose to climb
upon, and the train ratified on, leaving
him standing there upon the track. The
engineer, supposing that the conductor
had got safely on board at the grade,
let out little and sped away.
"The conductor hardly knew in which
direction to go, but while he was slowly
plodding on north construction train
came along through the darkness and
he managed to stop it. The engineer
unshackled and with the conductor set
off to chase the runaway train, blowing
the whistle furiously to attract the at
tention of the engineer ahead. After a
six-mile pursuit, the freight train was
held up and the situation was reviewed.
There didn't seem to be any other way
except to return for the missing caboose
as all hands supposed it had broken
loose from the train somewhere along
the line after they left Houlton.
$50 they backed slowly, mile after
mile, looking sharply for the car and
moving cautiously for fear of running
upon it on some curve. Finally they
| poked into the yard at Houton, and
there their car stood on a siding. The
passengers were still waiting, which
| fact indicates that the divine virtue of
| patience is not extinct in Aroostook by
any means. 1t was then after mid
night, but the train pulled out, and if
there had been any sextuple drawbars,
oxcbains or any other hitching con-
trivances handy, the conductor would
| have used them all in tying on that ca
| boose. ."-LeUist011 Journal.

Some Queer FiddIes.

There are quite a number OF people
who collect musical instruments. Men
have been known to pay tremendous
prices for violins of rare make, merely
TO place these instruments in collections
they are making of such things.
One of the greatest tiddles that ever
was known was to be seen at the French
court in the time of Charles the Ninth.
This was viol so large that several
boys could be placed inside of it. The
boys used to sit inside this queer instru-
ment and sing the airs that the man
who handled The bow was playing on
the yiol outside. The effect is said to
have been very beautiful, though it
would seem as if the presence of the
lads in its interior would seriously in
terfere with the tone Of the 'great fid-
die" as it was called. Many years
after another huge instrument of this
kind was used at concerts in Boston. 1t
was so large that to play it the fiddler
had to stand on q table to use his bow
at the proper point on the strings. This
instrument was called the grandfather
of fiddles. ."-Harper's Young People.

Why He Didn't Chip In.

In one of our suburbs few Sundays
ago the priest of one of the churches
announced that collection would be
taken up to defray the cost of coal for
heating the church. Everybody Clipped
in but Tim-well, never mind his other
name-who gave sly wink as the plate
was presented to him, but nothing else.
The priest noticed Tins dereliction, but
surmised that he might have left his
money at home. Not quite enough
money having been realized Il similar
contribution was levied the following
Sunday. As before. everyone gave but
Tim, who looked mighty sly, and the
priest wondered thereat. Meeting Tim
after the service he took him to task for
his conduct. "Now, Tim why didn't you
give something, if only a penny?"
Faith, father, I'm on to yez." "Tim!"
"Yes, father" what do you mean?"
"Oh, nothing, father. just that I'm on
to yez, that's ALL" "rim. your words are
disrespectful and require an explanation.
What do you mean?" "Oh, faith, father,
a-thryin' to pull the wool over me eyes.

the money to buy coal to heat the church,

A GOOD THING.
How an 81" Road Night Guard Earned
More than His Days Wages.

The colonel was carrying home lit
tie more alcohol than usual. [ don't
know whether or not he was colonel
but that is what Billy, the guard on one
of the night 81" trains called him, and
Billy knows most of his regular passen-
gers as well as he knows where they
ought to get off the train, says a writer
in the N. Y. Herald.
The colonel lurched heavily aboard
the train at 2Sth street and dropped into
the seat nearest to the door,
"Hey, Billy, don't let me go past
104th street. I want to take nap"
The colonel thereupon fumbled in his
pocket and gave Billy bright new
silver dollar as tip. Then he settled
himself comfortably into his big ulster
and was soon asleep.
Something broke the coloners nap as
the train swung around the curve into
SD street. He moved sleepily toward
the platform and inquired: ',Ish zis
Hundred-and.Foursh street,"
"Sit down, colonel" said Billy, reas-
suringly. Its only SD and 6th avenue.
I'll put you off at your station all
right.
''That'sh all right, Billy; don't forget
me, and here'sh something for your
self" The colonel this time went down
into roll of bills and gave Billy a 80
note. Billy pocketed it smilingly and
the colonel resumed his snooze.
At I'D street an outgoing passenger
stumbled against the coloners foot and
aroused him again. He jumped toward
the door nervously just as Billy pulled
the bell cord.
Not there yet colonel" said the IL"
road guardian angel. Don't disturb
yourself, sir; I'll look after you."
SHANK you, old man; all right. Buy
yourshelf d-d-drink when yoush off
duty" and the sleepy colonel dived
again into his horde of small change
and tipped Billy a half dollar. Billy
pocketed the coin with the assurance of
a pantata as the train moved on.
When the train finally reached 104th
street the colonel was in a deep sleep.
Billy shook him vigorously and helped
him toward the door.
"Now we're of, " mumbled the colonel,
as he braced himself for the exit" Come
wish me, Billy, and Wen have drink
togesher. Nice saloon right down
shreet, open all night-got a pull. Come
along" and the colonel grasped Billy
firmly to take him along onto the plat
form.
Billy protested that he couldn't leave
his post.
Never mind zhe old train, my boy
Train can wait for US. Won't refuse tC
drink with me, will you?"
Billy stood grasping the bell cord I'M
patiently and gently but firmly urging
the colonel off the platform.
well business is business" NUT
tered the colonel. finally. If you can't
drink wish me, Billy, take something tc
buy cigar"
Another silver dollar passed into thC
hand of the guard as he jerked the bel
rope and sung out:
''Hundert and SiXteen-next!" anC
the train rumbled off, leaving tn
colonel peusiyely looking for the exi
gate and trying the door of the ladies
room.
Are there many of them like that?"
asked Billy.
No. Iwish there were. The colo
neIs always liberal. That's more thai
my days wages made in one trip; bu
there amt many like the colonel. Ih
colonels good thing" and Bill
slammed the door and came inside on
of the cold.
