wondered whether one-legged men
bought shoes by the pair. observes a
writer in the Atlanta Journal.
This reminds me Of the enterprise Of
an Atlanta clothing man who. it is said,
was never known to acknowledge that
he didn't have anything possible GUS
toner might ask for One day a Gus
toner entered the store and asked If he
mad any trousers made especially for
one-legged men. "Certainly." replied
the merchant, "What kind do you
wantT' Dress pants" said the man.
THE best you've got" Hurrying into
the rear Of the store the enterprising
merchant snatched a pair of trousers
and shipped off the right leg with a pair
of shears. Hastily turning under the
edges he presented them to the Gus
toner.
That's the kind l want What's the
price?"
Fifteen dollars"
Well give me a pair with the left
leg off"
n month later the merchant was pro
nounced convalescent and on the high
road to recovery.

An Oc.nn Trollev Linz.

An ocean trolley line, which reaches
nearly a quarter of a mile over the sea.
conveying either passengers or mer-
chandise, is one of the curious sights to
be seen at Bear Harbor, on the Pacific
coast, not far from San Francisco.
While the ostensible object Of this
strange trolley is the carrying of lum-
Der from the rocky highland aboard the
big schooners which form the ocean ter
minus of the line, dozens of lumbermen
ride in a basket attached to the sus-
pended cable on wheel.
OF course, there is no electricity used
in connection with this novel trolley.
The power of gravity does most of the
hard work. The lumber schooners come
from the Mendocino County ports. In
til n year ago they We're loaded by the
slow process of lighters plying to and
from the wharves. BY the new trolley
system lumber in any quantity can be
carried from any island point over a
long and high railroad bridge to a sort
of cage. where the wooden cargoes are
stacked. and thence to the deck of each
shin. The trolley line is thrown from
the lumber cage to the vessels by means
of a rope shot from a mortar.-New
York Evening Journal.
