EXCHANGED GRIPS.
Also a Few Courtesies When They Dis
covered Their Mistake.

\ Cleveland man tells Il funny story
OF Il blunder he made while on his we'd
ding tour. When he took the sleeper
for Albany, boarding it at New York :
Grand Central depot, the porter acct
dentally put him in the wrong car. Later
on he rectitied the mistake by escorting
the Cleveland couple into the right sec
ton of the car ahead. When the local
man arose to go he picked up what he
supposed was his travelling bag and
started away with it.
He hadn't been in the forward car
but a few moments when he had occa-
sion to open the bag. This is what he
found in it:
\ black bottle, a brush and comb, u
pack of playing cards, package of pa
G,ers labeled BILLS" a half box of
cigars. n couple of collars and night
shirt, Il memorandum book marked
private canvass" and a check book
half used and an envelop full of railroad
passes,
The Cleveland man closed the bag
and put it down. Then he looked for
the owner. He didn't have long to
look. Down the aisle, accompanied by
the porter, came a stocky man with Il
big black muStache and shiny silk
hat. He grabbed the bag with a smile
of relief and trotted back with it. The
bridegroom followed him and secured
mis- own bag As he turned to leave the
ear the stocl>y individual shouted after
him:
Young man. you want to take little
better care of your ruffies next time
you go a-iourneying."
Of course the people in the car all
laughed. This nettled the Cleveland
man a little.
That's all right, old boy" he fired
lack, the next time you go up to AL
bany a log rolling you'd better lock up
your glassware and your Doodle books
a little more securely"
1t was a chance shot. but the Cleve-
land man knew he had made a hit by
the way the other passengers howled.
Then he escaped with his baggage

PAROY'S RED FOX
when It Lost its Tail 10 Kept Turning
Sonsrssults

Bill Pardy, of Wheelerville, n. T.,
rame walking down the trail from
Odit's camp, up in the North branch,
the other afternoon, with his rifle over
his shoulder and leading a full-grown
red fox with a dog chain fastened TO a
leather strap about its neck Elmer
uamlin was leaning against the gate
post, remarks the New York Sun, wait
ing for the horses to finish their oats.
He looked at the fox, then at Bill Pardy,
then at the fox again, before he said any
thing. Then he said:
"Well, say; where did you get him?"
"Up by Odit's camp" Pardy replied.
Then Elmer asked how.
Pardy said that his dog bad started
the fox over the Big Ash ridge near the
Dix swamp, and he had gone ahead to
the runway by Odit's camp. The fox
came along and he opened on it with his
rifle. lie fired three times, and then Gt
last the beast went end over end. Pardy
reckoned that the bullet hG'! hit it in the
head; SO that when the fox kept
tumbling head ever heels va didn't shoot.
When he got to the beast, however, he
found that the bullet had cut its tail Oft
close and clean. That had made the
beast so light behind that it keeled over
every time it tried to leap. like boy
turning somersaults. Bill took his
dog chain, tied it 10 the fox, and after
putting his tail into his pocket, started
for home. first tying a bag Of cartridges
to the stub Of the fox's tail SO that il
could walk comfortably.

This massive structure is remarkable
in beiEg the first four-track draw

largest bridge of the kind in the world.
1t is 100 feet long and weighs $500 tons
The draw-bridge is IS feet inches wide,
from center to center of outside lrusses,
and is carried on three very heavy

two sets of double tracks. The floor is
