TURNED TINE JOKE.
He Stirred Up the Passengers on an cts
Train, but Had to Leave the Car.

A ventriloquist had great fun the
other night on a Sixth avenue elevated
train. says the N. Y. Herald, and at the
same time put a train guard in danger
of being attacked by q score Of indig-
liant passengers. Then he was warned
that he hnd better leave the ar.
1t was a rainy night and the train
was crowded with passengers going
down town. In the rear car every seat
was taken when the train left the
Ninety-third street station in Columbus
avenue. In one of the rear seats was a
person who appeared to be enjoying q
calm sleep.
just as the train was approaching
the Seventy-second street station a voice
at the forward door cried out:
"Fifty-ninth street-change cars fol
Ninth avenue"
Every II in the car heard 1t, an unu-
sual thing on elevated trains, as every
one knows. A dozen passengers who
thought they had been carried beyond
their stations Mt Seventy-second and
Sixty-sixth streets, hurried toward the
door, and as many more who wanted
to change chrs at Fifty-ninth street
joined in the forward movement. Pas.
sengers for Seventy-second and Sixty.
sixth streets were angry because they
believed they would have to go back in
the rain,
AS the head of the procession reached
the door the train guard poked in his
head and called:
"Seyantv-second street s
The train halted with a jerk which
threw a half dozen passengers off their
feet. There was q struggle at the door
between those who wanted to get of
the train and those who didn't, and by
the time the train moved forward there
were a'dozen passengers angry enough
to assault the conductor.
what in thunder do you mean by
this performance" demanded one Of
them as he approached the conductor.
"Why did you call out Fifty-ninth street
when the train was at Seventy-secondp"
"But l didn't" said the train guard.
ayes, you did" shouted the angry
passengers in q chorus, and one big
man put himself in a position to attack
the guard.
"But l know he didn't" piped a shrill
voice. just under the roof of the cal.
Every one looked up in astonishment
and the amazement was increased when
q Voice which seemed to come from be-
meath the a floor said, soothingly.
Calm yourselves, gentlemen. calm
yourselves. I called out the station!"
The passengers, recognizing the situ-
alton, reiterated to their seats and began
looking around. Then suspicion began
to fall upon the sleepy man in the roar
corner. A big mantle one who
wanted to fight the train guard-went
over to him and said:
"That was a fine joke, but don't you
think you had better get off at the next
s%tationP"
The sleepy man left the car at Fifty
ninth street and took another train
down town.

tracts. but when the documents were
shown them a few days g alterations
made it ppear that the books were to be
paid for in cash and the advertising was
to be run for nothing,

.E.EI.GtI LETr5EF1
Since the Golden Hind went round the
Horn and circled a world unknown,
Wherever the tides of God have beat and
the winds of God have blown,
From the sunrise seas to the shutdown
+. seas. by the storm and the spindrift
whirled,
The sons Of the men who sailed with
Drake have ruled the water world.
And whether they sail from Plymouth
/: Hoe or out of the Golden Gate,
They are brothers in blood linked heart
to heart and to a resistless fate;
For the quenchless ardor to rule the seas,
which time can never Stake,
Makes the same blood race through
Dewey's veins that throbbed from
the heart OF Drake.
And all the way out of Trafalgar, down
into Manila bay,
The A~nglo-Saxon has sailed and fought
and struggled and won his way;
And wherever the tides o fSGod may beat
and the winds OF God may blow
1t will be tomorrow as it is today and 1t
was in the long ago!
