JUST A PINCH.
He Was Boastful, But Failed to Make
Good His Threat.

Good His Threat.
A pinch of humanity raised a fragile
hand in Fourth avenue and a conduc.
tor rang for the stopping of Il Madison
and Fourth avenue car. A four-fcot
man, with a package on which sus-
picious eyes would be cast in a prohi-
bition town, made frantic clutches at
the grab-rail of the car, and finally fell
with his bundle across the feet Of the
conductor.
why didn't you stop?" he painted, as
he flashed indignant eyes at the bell
ringer. You're too fresh, and I'll
fight you when we get down to Broome
street" The conductor said: "BoshI
Go sit down" He weighed two hun
dred and nine and a half pounds. The
pinch of humanity would not harm
the largest scales an apothecary ever
had.
"Sit down! l WON'T" screamed the
little fellow. 81 know my rights, and
I'll fight you when we get To 4 quiet
place"
The pinch went into the car and sat
down between two women who, be-
fore his advent, had been talking to
each other. He couldn't keep still. and
every few seconds would square him
self into a fighting attitude and squeal
at the conductor: You're fresh. I'll
fight you in q few minutes"
This went on until the ear was near
ing Broome street.-the chosen battle
ground of the pinch. The little fellow
got up and, crossing the car, squeezed
himself into a seat beside a man who
was talking to a woman.
Say" he said huskily, do you
want to see q fight? Watch me! I'm
going to do it now. Will you be a
witness? Give Inc your name, won't
you? l want you to tell about it in
court tomorrow"
Get OUT said the man to whom
these remarks were addressed. II
have troubles of my own. Get away
from me! Don't bother me-"
Well" said the pinch. there goes,
anyway. Watch me. Hold my bundle.
No, | guess I'll take it with Inc. One
hans enough.
The pinch ran to the rear platform
and putting his hands in a fighting
position, said:
"Mr. Conductor, you're too fresh.
I'm going to lick you. Look out now!'
His right arm had swung as much
as two inches. The car was just roll
ing into Broome street. The conduc-
tor caught him by the collar, lifted
him three feet in the air, and dropped
him on the pavement. The pinch's
bundle fell, and lie stood, the most
dazed man in the Bowery, looking at
the disappearing cal.
That's all right" he screamed,
shaking one fist, while he reached for
his package with the other. You're
too fresh! I'll lick you next time J
meet you:"-N. Y. Times.

Fish Get the Wrong bait.

A fisherman who went down into
Lake keuka n ships of the skif varie-
ty in order to fish, trailing Il jug Of
bait behind the boat, to keep cool, was
twice annoyed by having his jug bro
ken, which of curse put an end to the
fishing for the day. On the second oc-
casion when this occurred the fisher
man soon after saw q large fish swim
ming about near the surface, in a lazy
and irresolute sort of way. lie rowed
up to the fish. and, to his surprise,
was able to pick il up in his
hands. The fish was perfectly
sound, but had rather more color than
usual, and his breath smelled strong.
~ of alcohol. This gave him al idea.
Next day he trailed behind his boat
jug a wherein the lure was cunningly
commingled with opium. Hid in the
stern of the boat while another rowed,
he skept sharp watch. Presently he
saw a number of monstrous fish ap-
proach, bearing on their noses a stone
they had evidently rooted out of the
lake bottom. One sharp crack from
this broke the jug, when the thieves
eagerly drank up the liquid as it
mingled with the surrounding water.
Shortly after a number of the finest
fish ever seen on the lake foated to the
top in their opium dream of bliss, and
were captured.-N. Y. Recorder.

Everybody Was Quiet.

The recent Indian uprising in Wy
oming recalls to mind an incident of a
similar uprising in Idaho back in the
seventies.
A report reached army headquarters
that the Indians had swarmed down
on 4 little village and murdered every
inhabitant. \ second lieutenant who
had just received his commission was
dispatched to the scene to ascertain
the authenticity of the rumor. A few
hours after his arrival in the village
he SEN this dispatch to the command
ing officer.
Everybody is quiet here"
Whereupon the commanding officer
replied:
Your report is unintelligible. We
have it from responsible source that
Indians have massacred every inhabi-
tant."
The lieutenant answered.:
Report is correct. Everybody has
been massacred. Everybody is quiet"

A QUIET NEI0HBORHOOO.
Misfortunes of q Man With u Three Year.

AcAAcs
What in thunder am 1 going to
do?" queried a gentleman who recent
~ moved out in the western portion of
the city, of a circle of his down town
friends.
"A few weeks ago." he continued,
81 leased a house for three years. The
neighborhood vas represented to be
quiet, orderly and respectable. My
wife is q timid, delicate woman, easily
frightened. We have been living in
u new home about three weeks. Let
me give You n brief summary of events.
A few nights after we got settled, we
were Weakened by a woman screaming
murder" 1t proved to be our next
door neighbor, and her husband was
chasing her about the back yard with
an AK. A few days later, my wife had
occasion to drop into the house of an
other neighbor. Sine called at a most
in%opportune moment, as the lord
of the household was choking
his wife up against the wall
and enGeavoring to make her
promise she wouldn't go out again
evenings without his permission. But
that isn't all. Two doors north of Us
the husband and his wife got into a
pitched battle Sunday afternoon. She
undertook to chop the family carriage
into kindling wood with an AK because
her husband wouldn't take her out
driving. He retaliated by knocking
her down with his fist and breaking
out a couple of her teeth. Some brats
of boys drowned Mrs. MS cat in the
c~istern, and to cap the climax, a tramp
had a fit or the back porch this morn
ing. What in heavens name l am to
do, l don't know"
His friends were unable to advise
him, and when last seen five fairly
g~ood.looking young married men were
gazing at themselves in the mirror
back of the Body house bar, and one
of the b~artenders was tenderly squeez-
ing a handful of mint, while the other
was fishing in the depths of 4 bottle of
branded cherries with a fork.
The mournful man was obtaining
solace in his hour of misery.-Toledc
