ONE WAY TO MAKE MONEY!.
A Dime saved II IA Dime Made" Thought
the Economic Man.

Perhaps the thermometer was not 100
In the smoking room of that parlor caT.
The fat man said ii was aud the other
passengers were inclined to let it 90 al
that, says the Buffalo Express. AT any
rate it was hot enough for all practical
purposes and the entire company of
smokers had stripped off coats and
vests and loosened suspenders and un-
buttoned collars and were listening
with eager attention to the tales of the
returned arctic Traveller.
The fat man was gloatiuo over a par
%ticularly realistic description Of an ice
foe which WAS three miles long and "A
mile wide and no one knows how many
miles deep. He had announced his in
tention Of emigrating TO Greenland and
settling there, when The train drew into
Little Falls and stopped. A couple of
small boys stood on the platform cry
ing: "S~trawberries!' They had a few
boxes of luscious fruit covered over
with fresh green leaves and the fat man
made a bolt for the platform and bought
"A quart. The other people OF the smok-
Ing room followed his example. They
found that the berries were IA nice as
they looked and that the price was 10
cents a box. Five men bought a box
each aud turned them over to the porter
OF the bufret-car, telling him to serve
them as Don as he could get them
ready.
The sixth man was an old fellow with
a hooked nose and a big yellow dia-
moud in his necktie. How moogh is
dose berries?' he asked.
Fifteen cents a quart" replied tho
boy.
IN gif You den for a box

There was 4 long argument between
the man aud the boy. Finally the train
began to move and the old man said:
Better take den cends. You will hat
dem left on your hands"
oh, said the boy, "there'll be an
other train along in a little while and
then I'll sell them"
We'll, I'll gif you den cends for q
box
"Nop!' shouted the boy. and the old
man climbed back into the car.
In a short time the buffet man brought
the Strawberries into the smoking room
and the five owners ate them with great
relish. The old man watched the feast
ers out of the corners of his eyes. No
person offered him any, although he
plainly wanted an invitation. After
the dishes had been removed and silence
had fallen on the company the old man
pulled his chin up off his breast and
said: well. | mage money either way

THE OLD SNlPE JOKE.
How a Wag Played an Innocent Visiting
Sportsman.

Nothing can be o interesting, Ia
IN ordinary way, than the fate of prac-
teal jokers. Shooters and sportsmen
generally will appreciate the latest from
Eureka, New. Bent on landing game.
a visitor held forth in his hotel with re-
gard to his ability TO bring quail to
earth. Among the audience was a wag
who, being a good sport himself, was
DESTROYS of testing the foreigners ability
as a shot.
I'VE do not shoot quail, said he. I'VE
bag them. and if you want TO 90 out
you may do SO tonight and see better
fun than any gun can furnish"
Accordingly the soi-alisant gamester
~journeyed out from a small hotel In
Nevada to see the extraordinary plan
by which quail could be "bagged' at
night time. The party walked two
miles into the hills and arranged a trap
by laying down thirty pieces of candle
in V shape. Into this, they explained.
I'VE drive the quail, and one of us holds
q sack at the end of the V. into which
the quail run. BY a previous arrange
ment al argument vas commenced as
to who should have the honor OF hold
ing the sack and securing the si.ds
while the remainder did the hard work
of beating them toward the trap.
When the point was apparently set
tied one of the party said: NO, this is
not fair. Mr.. de - is our guest, and
as such is entitled to hold the sack"
Generously enough to the Boosting
sportsman was given the honor Of hold.
ing a bag bound ut the mouth to a hoop
so as to catch the birds. All the others
left to beat up quail. For three hours
the visitor faithfully held that sack. and
when the last candle burned out he
found himself in the midst OF a lonely
valley, which was full Of deserted shafts
aud other dangerous holes. two miles
from any house. and surrounded by a
darkness which resembled a stack of
black cats When he arrived ut his
hotel and found that his cohunters had
been there enjoying the joke for hours
he simply went to bed and wept. He

public for productions OF this kind is
