JOSHUA TAYLOR NOT ABOARD.
The Awful Fate which Awaited Him
Had He Been
There.

There were 20 passengers in the car
when a man wearing a fur cap and
having rather an innocent expression
OF countenance boarded the train at a
small station and appeared among us.
There were plenty of empty seats, but
he did not sit down. Instead, he
walked down the aisle and took a close
look al every mans face. That he
was looking for some one in particular
was evident, but he passed each one
to the very last man, who was asleep
with his chin on his breast.
Here, you-wake up!" said the man
with the fur cap, as he shook the
other by the shoulder.
"W-what you want!" stammered the
man, as he Strengthened up,

no, sir! How dare you come along
and put your paws on me, and ask if
my name is Joshua Taylor"
IF you amt Joshua TAYLOR, yo' look

man"
Look here, sir!" exclaimed the
aroused passenger, as he began to get
red in the face-"who are you, and
what dye want of mel"
"My names Benjamin Scott. A fell

"Sir. do ! look like a mar who travels

An Artistic Landsman Gets Some
Pointers from the Jolly Sea

Tie sailor man, when in deep water, can
not conceal the feeling OF superiority with
which CARDS the untarred landlubber.
Some noncombatants who sailed the
gulf al Caribbean during the war
learned to keep an eye on the mariners, and
others gained painful experience before they
got their sea legs.
An artist who boarded a grimy tugboat
clad in white linen found his coat covered
with coal dust when he was a day from port
and decided to wash it. He filled a bucket
with sea water and fell to work. When he
had scrubbed the garment for 20 minutes he
was satisfied.
Then it occurred to him to starch the coat
pockets. lie did so, and pulled out-his gold
watch.
He was perturbed. The crew laughed and
he rebuked them. They bided their time.
Then one Of them told the artist that the
proper way to restore the coat to its normal
color was to tie a line to it, heave it over
Board and tow it for a few hours. The artist
did so.
When he went below a deck hand hauled
the coat aboard, united the line and hiding
the coat made fast a ragged piece of white
DUCK and threw it overheard.

line he was the a~ngriest man on the tug
