There is a young man in Brooklyn
who needs a tonic of some kind, else
he would not have failed to embrace as
attractive an opportunity as ever
comes to one. He accompanied a
charming young woman to a church
wedding on the park slope and arrived
at about the time the bride and groom
were due. The young woman with
him was dressed somewhat as the
bride was expected to be clad, and as
she walked up the main aisle of the
church with her escort the organist
began to play the wedding march. The
couple, however, instead of going on to
the altar, stopped in one of the pews
not far from the front. One of the
ushers came forward and told them
that the clergyman was waiting for
them, and their friends near, perceiv-
Ing the situation, urged them to re-
spond to the summons. The young
woman said she was ready and will

A Quarter Which . BeEEar Was Not
to Spend For Drink.
For Gods sake give hungry man a
little money to buy something to eat"
entreated a beggar of woman in
West Third street. The beggar was
by no means absentmlnded, but the in
dividual to whom he spoke was. She
passed on several yards without motto
ing him, when 1t suddenly occurred
to her that to man, perhaps starving,
who had asked bread she had given a
stone, or at least a stony stare So
she took 20 cents from her purse and,
turning quickly, hurried after a man
passing down the street.
Here" she said, touching him on
the arm; here is a quarter for you,
and I hope you will not buy liquor with
It."
Before the astonlshed person to
whom she had given the money could
utter word she had departed.
Il am sure / don't know why young
women should run after me on the
street to give me money" calculated
the man. "but will spend 1t for drink
since she particularly requested me
not to-" -

by seedy looking fellow who began.
For Gods sake, give" etc.
Yes. my man. think this was in
tended for you. A young woman sent
1t to you, but you are not to spend 1t
for drink" And he passed on with a
light heart, while the beggar tested
the quarter suspiciously. casting an
eager glance ahead at the nearest sa-
loon.-New York Press.

A Pittsburger who has money to

He Is man given to exclusiveness,

to make arrangements last week, but

hurried him to the ticket Office.
Get stateroom. If you can," he
said, "and, If you cannot, get a section.
You know what a section is-two
berths."
"Yes, sir" replied the man as he
started of.

ton that there wasn't stateroom to

WANTED HIS FARE RUNe UP.
An Italian Who Demanded Music of
the Street Car Conductor.

An Italian Who Demanded Music of
the Street Car Conductor.
The conductor Of a Brooklyn trolley
car had peculiar experience with an
Italian one night last week. The
Italian wanted to ride with music
thrown in for his cents. A passenger
described the incident:
II boarded the car with six other pas
sengers, including an Italian, at the
suburban end Of the road on one of the
late trips. The car had gone a short
distance when the conductor began to
collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat, and his money was col
lected last. Everything went well for
about half mile, when the Italian
jumped to his feet and waved his
hands at the conductor. The conductor
went to the excited man and asked him
what the trouble was. The Italian
said:
Me wanta my fiva centa back
"The conductor told him that he
could not have the money. The Italian
insisted:
EVERY boda getta music for fva
centa; me no got
"The conductor grasped the situation
at once, and, seeing that he was ac-
cused Of 'nickeling,' started to clear
himself. He showed the Italian that
there were seven passengers on the
car and that that number of fares were
registered. He also explained why the
italian did not get any music for his
nickel. He said:
While collecting the fares in the
front part of the car 1 rang up one
fare too much, and if rang up yours
would be out s cents
While this explanation was going on
the man from Italy was still shouting
for his 'fiva centa,' and did not stop
until he got off the car farther down,
still jabbering at the conductor

The Roar of Battle.

The roar Of the navy's four point
seven's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the shrap-
mel, the barking Of the howitzers and
he mechanical, regular rattle of the
luick firing Maxims, which sounded
ike the clicking Of many moving ma
chimes on a hot summers day, tore the
lir with such hideous noises that ones
skull ached from the conclusion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus Of mighty thunder and pet
ty hammering was the roar Of the
wind which was driven down into the
valley beneath and which swept up
again in enormous waves Of sound. 1t
roared like great hurricane at sea.
The illusion was SO complete that you
expected, by looking down, to see the
Tugela lashipg at her banks, tossing
the spray hundreds Of feet in air and
battling with her sides of rock. 1t was
like the roar of Niagara in a gale, and
yet when you did look below not a leaf
was stirring, and the Tugela was Slip

peace.-From with Buffers Column"

A Salty Tale.

The old saying that the way to catch
a bird is to put salt on its tail has been
verified by little Jimmy Belew, who
lives in Naudain street. Jimmy was
sent by his grandmother for two bags
Of salt for some domestic operation
already in progress. After an hours
absence he returned in high state Of
excitement, crying, "I've got the bird"
Sure enough, he had sparrow clutch
ed tightly in his fist. But where's
the saltY' asked his grandmother.
"Oh, the saltr said Jimmy. "Why,
that's around the corner in the middle
of the street"
Investigation showed that the boy,
returning from his errand, saw, some
sparrows on the car track. He opened
one bag and poured out the contents,
which the birds proceeded to investi-
gate. Then he threw the contents of
the other bag on top of the sparrows,
submerging them sufficiently to cap
ture one before it could extricate itself
from the avalanche of salt.-Philadel-

greater than that of any other medicine
prepared especially for woman's use. 1t

a score of trained physicians, treats and
