WILLING TO OBLIGE.
How a POmpous Little Person Was
Kindly Handled.


A very self-important little man of
the kind who gaze at the public build
ings with the keen glance of one who
has money inverted IN them. and who
regard public officials with the piercing
glance which counaels them to earn
their money or account for themselves,
approached a tall policeman the other
day with Indignation glistening in his
eyes. ..
Il demand to know," he said. in a
firm voice. why am forced to remain
on this side of the street when my busi-
ness calls me to the other?'
The policeman looked a trife startled
for a second or so, but recovering him
self, he replied:
well, who's keepin' you from goin'?"
THE traffic. sir. the traffic of ve-
hicles; yet pedestrians are supposed to
have the righ; of way
"Well," grufily responded the officer,
what are you going to do about it?'
81 am going to insist on my rights,
SIR" said the responsible citizen.
THAT'S easy" said the officer.
"And see that get them
"That will be harder"
"You are a public servant in the pub
lie pay, and at the call Of the public.
I therefore demand safe passage for
my person across this thoroughfare. 1t
is your duty to see that my demands
are complied with"
The big policeman looked at him for
a moment IN a quandary, then. seeming
to solve the problem, he said, with q
wink In his eye:
"A safe passage you want, Is It?
Well, you shall have It,"
And, before the responsible citizen
could divine his intention, he picked
him up. tucked him under his arm
and was dodging between the horses
heads across the street. The little man
had not recovered his breath before
the bluecoat dropped him on the oppo-
cite pavement. and started back again.

EXHAUSTED THE LIMIT.

A WELL known artist, who spends sew
eral months of the year in Venice, tells
how, the morning after his first arrival
in the "waterlogged' city, he hired gon-
dola in order to see the sights. Having
passed under the Bridge of Signs, and
reached the spot rendered memorable by
the mournful history Of Marino Fal!ero,
the gondoler took out his watch and po-
litely said: I'VE rest for ten minutes
here" With that he lighted his ppc.

AN UNKNOWN WOMAN.
She Is a Mexican, but Refuses to Give
Her Name.

hcE NAmes
The Vandalia No. 20 which brought
number of injured people to the city yester-
day afternoon carried an unknown woman
and child IN one of the Pullman sleepers.
They were mother and daughter and both
were hurt in the wreck, the mother suffer-
ing a painful injury on the head. The dark
face of the latter and the soft accent with
which she spoke proclaimed her of tropic
birth. All that could be learned as to her
identity was that she came from San Luis
Potosi, Mexico. When the train came in
yesterday afternoon she declined to leave
the sleeper and obstinately refused to give
her name. 1t was learned from the railway
officials that she had resisted several at
tempts to learn who she was the part
of the physicians who attended the wreck
victims. The woman was pulled out of the
Sleeping car with her daughter the latter
showing no traces of injury. The mother
had evidently cautioned the child to hold
her tongue for all efforts to CLEAN some
thing from her were Intellectual To one of
the most insiStent inquirerS the mysterious
woman said that she had aged mother
who was in delicate health and she feared
accident, through the newspapers, the re-
suit would prove serious. The woman did
not leave the car yesterday and to the
query of the officials If they could serve her
she replied that she was in need of nothing.
Her only desire was to be taken to Pitts
burg, the point of her destination. Among
the other injured passengers brought in
yesterday was Andrew johnson. porter of
the Pullman. Johnson was badly Knocked
about, but injuries did not prevent him
from leaving for the East yesterday even
ing. Frank Gurley, the Pullman conductor,
who was brought here Monday night. was
yesterday and sent on to Philadelphia. His
home is in Washington, d. G.
