 It was in the waiting rOOm of a railroad line in the Buckeye State. Seated In tho midst of scoro of men and women was an old man who held bulging satchcl on his lap and tried to restrain the en- thuSiaSm of a paper collar which insisted on pccping out of n knothole in the side of the bag. He had been dozing and nodding for 10 or l5 minutes, with his legs stretch ed out until they seemed to bc feet long, when he suddenly opened his eyes, drew hack his legs, and shade of anxiety was visible on his countcnance.
 Something had happened Something continued to happen. He held up his right foot, which was incaSed in boot large enough Io contain the watermelon crop of Rhode Island for two seasons and began to agitatc the heel thereof with the toe of his left. You've probably been there and know how utterly unsatisfactory such a procCCding iS under the circumstances After digging for minute he raked his heel on the floor, but no smile of relief was visible on his face As his Satchcl man aged to tumble off his lap with great thump just at this time general attention was attracted to the old man, and the pas scng,r on his right inquired:
 Busted slISpcndcr, or swallowed a button, or anything of the kind?"
 II wish 1t wasn't nuthin wuss!" replied the satchel man as he resumed the heel and toe pcrformance

 There's n sensation, ch?'

 "Waal, I wanted to know whether @ fellcr with chilblains was allowed to pull of his boot in good society and stop the agitaShun, but hain't timo to go inquirin round Of she's got to come society or no society, and them as don't like 1t must move away!'
 He grabbed the foot in his big hands, pulled and twisted and ran out his tongue, and 1t finally came of with "s-o-u-pr which was heard all over tho room. Alter digging the itching heel with both hands in lively manner for minute he turned to the sntchcl after a vial of wintcrgrccr essence and poured half its contents on tho seat of his anxiety. It was hardly min ute before 6 sweet smile came to his wrin klcd face, and he tuggcd and pulled and got his foot hacA into the boot and placidly obScrvcd:

rhanrni His Isnsiness.

There used to live in this town pro- lessor whose speciality was the training of fleas and similar small game. He got most of his stock from an Italian of low ly origin but great industry. One day, just about this time of year, the live stock of the show began to run low. The purveyor had not put ill m appearance in several weeks and the professor start ed out to hunt him mp. He was found on the Terrace, drawing a small cart containing an ice cream freezer.
 Hello, Pietro!" said the professor. "Where have you been all this time? Why haven't you brought me any fleas?"
 "Gooda weather now, signor," ex- plained Pietro. "No tina to hunta flea Maka more mon maka ice cream"

 From Waterloo station, tho place from where I started, to the grand stand on Ep- som Downs Is n distance of 19 miles-3S miles there and back. Thirty eight miles for a days walk Is no joke. However, I'm used to walking, onco having done a 50o mile stretch in upper British Columbia.
 I started at half past in the morning, going by tho Elephant and Castle and on through Clapham, Balham, Footing, Merton, Mordcn, Ewol and finally Ep- som. The Downs, whcrc the course Is, is about q mile and a half outside of tho town of Epson. This last mile and half Is the worst part of the whole 19.
