says the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
somebody dropped a stickpin in the
hall the other day and had hard work
TO ind it. She hunted high and low,
and on her hands and knees. and with
a candle specially procured for the pur-
pose, but 1t was no use; the pin was

size or brilliancy. The somebody.

CONNECTIONS TOO GOOD.
Hungry Traveller Who Suffered for

Hungry Traveller Who Suffered for
Want OF stOp-Overs.
The utter perYersity of timetables
when traveller wants to make quick
connection is commonly known to all
who use the railroads, but a perversity
of making too good connections is a
new experience. A man from this city
who had occasion to transact some
business in an inland town in New
Jersey relates the following, says the
Troy Press: Il got up about o'clock
in the morning, and, after a light
breakfast, rode thirty-three miles in a
wagon over rough road to the county
seat, arriving there rather late in the
afternoon. A light lunch was all l
allowed myself until the business
transaction was completed, when 1 in
tended to get hearty meal. At $3.50
! began to inquire for an eating house
and incidentally asked when the next
train started for New York. 1t went
at o'clock. I thought l could wait an
hour or so, with the prospect OF getting
a good meal in some restaurant knew
in New York. The train arrived in the
metropolis about s o'clock and before
going to eat I inquired when the next
train started for Albany. 1t was on
the track at that moment and, reflect
ing that a lunch at least could be OBJ
tanned at Poughkeepsie and realizing
that my presence in Troy was neces-
sary early in the following day,
boarded the train with my grip When
the conductor came through l asked If
would have time to eat at Poughkeep-
sic. No, the train did not stop there;
besides, the lunch-room was closed
anyway at that time of night. There
was not thing to eat on the train, SO
l possessed my soul with patience and
reflected on the good meal I would get
as soon as I landed in Albany, for l
knew of restaurant that was open all
night. | remember formulating the
order in my mind fifty miles before
we reached the capital. AS soon as
started across the street / saw a troll
ley car just leaving for Troy and, find
ing that it would be an hour before the
next one, l clambered aboard, faint
with hunger and cursing the company
for running on schedule time. At the
corner of First and Congress streets,
Troy, a vender of hot frankfurters
stood blowing his fingers to keep from
Peezing at about 2:3O on a bleak morn
ng as I alighted. There, said I, by
,hunder! I am not going another step
Without something to eat"

A Swan Story.

The story of two stays, which, while
fighting, interlocked their antlers so
tenaciously that they could not sepa-
rate them, and both starved to death.
Is paralleled by the following swan
story, told by correspondent of the
London Spectator: The incident was
described to me by friend who heard
1t from the lips Of the man who saw
it. My friends informant, a laboring
man, passed on his way to work every
morning pond on which were the
swans. One morning he saw a swan
with its head under water, no unusual
thing, so he thought nothing of it, The
next morning the bird was in exactly
the same place and position. Still that
was not remarkable, and he passed on,
On the third morning, seeing the swan
in precisely the same position he
called the attention of the keeper to
it. The keeper proceeded to examine
and found that the swans head had
been swallowed by large pike. Both
of course, were dead.
