SLOW Trains.

Slow railroad trains are probably not
peculiar to any locality. The story of
The conductor who waited for the hen
to complete the dozen of eggs for the
market is 4 part of the folklore of
widely diverse regions.
There used to run over Il Vermont
road-and also, ii may be remarked,
over n Wisconsin road-what was
known as tue ''huckleberry train,' the
jest being that it was SO slow that
passengers could jump off at the front
end of the train and pick huckleberries
for awhile and then get on at the rear
end as it came up.
The engineer of the Vermont train
of this title is ina ginatively declared
to have shot two partridges one day
from his cab, which the fireman ''ra-
trieved" without any additional ''slow-
ing I'D"

He Ate His Fill.

A LEGAL clergyman is telling joke on
sims"lf. He went to Chicago on bust
ness and was asked by family in his
Thurch to call on married daughter
there. The pastor called and received a
hospitable welcome. They urged him
to come to dinner, but he had an en-
gagement. Then they remarked. "Well,
will you not eat a little luncheon ?"
The hostess pointed as she SPOKE 10 a
small table ON which were small diz-
of salad, some bread and fruit. ''Well,
l don't care if / do, - replied the caller,
who drew up a chair and began an on
slaught on the provisions. He fancied
they had been arranged expressly for
him, and it was only after he had got
through that he noticed the blank looks
of the family. In fact. ne had devoured
the entire luncheon which all had ex-
pected TO eat.
Madam, what must you think of
meE" he exclaimed to the hostess.
but let me beg of yon not to judge all
Kentuckians by me. 1 am the colo
stupid one in our state
He was equal to the lady whose
hostess showed her dish of water cress
at side table Just before dinner was
served Thinking it had just been pur-
chased, she stuck her hand in the dish
and took handful of il only TO find it
dressed with French salad dressing and
prepared to accompany the birds at tho
meal louisville Times.
