A LITTLE CURRENT HUMoR.

SCORED LAST.
THERE was only one vacant seat in the rear
car of the train when a woman with the reso-
lutte look and pointed nose came in.
1t was by the side of a man with soiled face
ard watery eye, but she toos it,
After sitting few moments in silence she ell
evated her chin, looked from side to side, and
smiled audibly.
A few moments later she repeated the opera
tion, looking with unspeakable severity at the
man at her side.
Apparently she had located the disturbance,
whatever it was.
"Beg y'r pardon, MAN," said the person
with the watery eye, "are you 'h'mph h'mph-
ing at me?'
"What matter, ma'am p,
81 think it's shame"
"What say, ma'am ?'

to come into car and seat himself anong de-
cent people 7,
"Think tits, maam?"
81 do, sir! You are drunk. You are often
sive say it's a shame for such man to
thrust himself among respectable people
"Beg y'r pardon, ma'am, but dp thrust
myself in here by you. WIS already here wen
you come in."
"If had husband like you," she said, with
concentrated scorn, "Pd give him poison"
"Madam," he rejoined, looking her over
with feeble sort of smile, " if had a wife like
you I'd take it."
And she elevated her chin some more, but
didn't say anything.

THE word "God" never appeared in any
Government act until the year 1864, when, at
the suggestion of the director Of the Mint, ex-
Governor Pollock, of Pennsylvania, "In God
We Trust" was stamped on the copper two-cent
piece. Before that time " e Pluribus Unum''
had been the motto. Strange to relate, e Piuri-
bus Unum" on coins never was authorized
by law:
