WAS A "LEEMISH" GAR.
The OwI-Car Passengers Finally
Found Out.

o"l-S0r IASSchBerS
Found Out.
He seemed painfully conscious of the
ludicrous figure he cut as he burst
through the wildly Tapping curtains of
north-bound, all-night car and
scraped himself into a seat which had
been neglected by the other occupants
on account of the sea of moisture which
it contained. His face was belligerent-
ly red and his widely-staring eyes, an
ticipating with maniacal vigilance any
tendency to laughter which his APP
pearance might provoke, blazed forth
challenge to the entire car and success
fully dispelled the rising spirit of
jocundity.
The night was the most tempestu-
Gus of the present season, and i'll order
| to escape the gusts of wind and water
| that assailed the car from every direc-
ton some of the ''owls' had gathered
in the aisle, while others had perched
upon the backs of seats, and some had
opened up their umbrellas. The con-
ductor, with an air of intrepidity born
of familiarity with situations of the
kind, passed to and fro among the pas
sengers collecting nickels. He was an
ideal 'owl' conductor, bristling with
sense of his Importance, and osten-
tatiously Indifferent to the comfort and
convenience of his guests.
"Ez ish leemish ghar?' asked the
late wild-eyed arrival as the despot
jolted past.
The unintelligible gibberish met with
no response. Another block was passed
before the street car magnate came for
ward.
''Ez ish leemish ghur?" was repeated
somewhat petulantly by the Swede-
for he was now discovered.
Everyone but the autocrat seemed
buried in an effort to translate the jar
gon, and some even ventured so far
as to turn an inquiring eye upon the
speaker. But the glances were quickly
withdrawn, for the glitter of i'm
placable hostility in those wild eyes
had become intensified. Several more
blocks elapsed.
''Ez ish leemish ghar?"
And this time the potentate hac
stopped close by to take fare.
"What?" snarled the latter, witt
scornful intOnation.
"Ez ish leemish ghar?"
For a moment there was reflective
pause-his majesty WAS thinking.
Limits car? Yes"

Cleveland, July 17.-Several Cleve-
land wholesale druggists declined to
pay the $3.50 Dow liquor tax. They
said that the law does not require
tax when the liquor is sold for medi-
cinal purposes. The question was re-
ferred to the attorney geperal and he
gave an opinion that if wholesale
druggist sold liquor to retail dealer
who sold liquor as beverage, the
wholesale dealer should be compelled
to pay the tax
