SELFISH MAI PUNISHED.
Little Train Incident That Gave
Justice-Loving Passengers
Much JOY.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train a
few evenings ago were treated to spectacle
~ retributive justice that tickled them ia
mously. The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas
sengers save one had their windows down.
Thsunpleasant exception was disgruntleds
looking party, with plentiful growth OF
weedy. Cooking whlskers, and these he al
lowed TO sway in and out Of the window with
the gtisty zephyrs. OF course, he got none
OF the dust and cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one OF them asked the
l.open-window fiend" If he would mind put
ting the window down. mo-" he replied,
grulfly Its too warm. Ii you don't like it
change your seat.
In front OF the man sat travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as flash he raised his window, and instant
err the flowing facial APPENDICES OF the man
behind began 10 perform a most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after few moments OF such violence, got
led in the face and then put his window
DOWN. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut OIL
the draught in similar manner, but, 10 the
intense amusement and qualification OF the
balance OF the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer, without so much as a
twinkle of the eye, replied: mol It's too
warm. III YOU don't like il change your
eat Record.

will at least equal her own.
II want you to stop that young Blank call

tocratic way that some fathers have. "He
has no prospects worth speaking of, there is
nothing to show that he has any business
ability, and / don't want him hanging around
here any more.
What is business ability, papa"
why, you know. Everybody knows, OF

TO his face. Now he tells a few confidential
friends that young Blank has the making OF
