BEN BUFFERS WIT.-Away back
in the seventies, during the famous
deadlock fight on the civil rights bill,
the question of the adjournment of
congress was under discussion one
Saturday afternoon. Ben Butler, that
born wit, had stepped over to Sam
Randall's desk for private consulta-
ton. Butler favored Sunday ses'
sion, while Randall opposed it vigor'
ously.
"Bad as am, I have some respect
for Gods day." said the famous high
tariff champion, "and / don't think 1t
right to hold session on the Sabbath" ."
"Oh, pshaw !" responded Butler,
"doesn't the Bible say that it is lawful
to pull your OK or your ass out of the
pit on the Sabbath day? You have 7S
asses on your side of the house and
want to get them out of the ditch TO-
morrow, aud 1 think am engaged in
holy work"
"Don't do it, Butler" pleaded Ran
dali, II have some respect for you that
I don't want to lose. I expect some
day to meet you in better world"
"But you'll be there, as you are
here" retorted the sly Benjamin,

lower house" e."-Louisville Courier

MADE HER ACCOUNT GooD.-lt was
a dainty little note from a woman de-
positor but it caused a gentle ripple
of merriment among the accountants
and tellers of an uptown bank. Ihe
institution caters to women, and the
president has often remarked that the
women depositors were in some re-
spects more careful in their business
methods than the men.
A few days ago the discovery was
made that the account of one OF the
women depositors had been overdrawn
a few dollars. The usual notice IN
such cases was sent to the deposltor
with the request that the account be
made good. A prompt and polite re-
ply was received from the delinquent.
She apologized fol the overdraft'
thanked the bank officers for inform
ing her of the fact so courteously-
and inclosed her check on the same
bank for the amount of the overdraft.
1t is needless to say that an explana-
tory note was sent to this depositor
reminding her that an overdratt was
not a credit to be drawn upon.-NeW

ON THE RAIL.



The LackaWanna railroad has just
issued, under the title of Ghost of the
Glacier and Other Tales, decided in
novation in the way of railroad litera-
ture. This book. which is attractive
ly printed and illustrated, is practic-
ally a book of short stories, having no
advertising in connection with them
except such as naturally accrues from
the fact that the stories are located
along that line. The LackaWanna
railroad, being the second oldest in
the United States, passes through
territory, every mile Of which has as
sociated with lit some Indian legend or
romance, some recollection of the In
dian wars. or some historical event
of the war of the revolution. It is an
easy matter, therefore, for the short
story writer to find a mine of material
along this line. and this little volume
is capital evidence that he has done
so.

From the injured and exasperated ac-
tress, whose personal effects have been
reduced to Wreckage by the handling Of
railroad baggagemen, comes an appeal
60 congress to enact laws for the
punishment of baggage smashing, says
the Chicago Chronicle. The appeal
will probably be unheeded, but it
should furnish food for reflection to
railroad managers. Why should the
luggage OF travellers patronizing the
railroads be handled so recklessly as
to render people timorous of intrusting
their belongings to the care of baggage
men? Is not the custom calculated to
discourage stravel? Is it not custom
which could be changed by a simple
order from headquarters? Certainly
there is no reason why trunks, valises
and other impedimenta cannot be
handled with reasonable care by tbs
railroad companies. The express COM
panles transport similar articles sat
isfactorlly. A trunk sent by express
will reach it's destination in as good
condition as it started. A trunk in
trusted to the tender care and mercies
Of the railroad baggageman is not I'M
likely to arrive with its lid torn from
the hinges, it's side crushed in or with
other damage due to sheer wanton-
ness. There is no excuse for such a
condition of affairs in these days of
advanced railroad methods. Every
care is taken of the traveller himself.
He rides in luxuriously appointed cars;
he sleeps as comfortably on the train
as in his own bed; he dimes en- route
on restaurant cars which offer the
menu OF first class hotel. Yet his
trunk, IN which he is naturally inter-
ested, is intrusted to baggage smash
ers, who jump on it, wrench at it, hurl
it from car to platform and back
again and otherwise conduct them
selves as if they were personally in
censed against it. The traveller is
treated with every possible considera-
ton. His belongings with none at ALL
Would 1T not be profitable for some
great railroad system to try the exper-
iment OF handling baggage with ordi-
nary care-making a speciality of the
proceeding and properly advertising
it? II there is anything in human ma
ture that line would enjoy a boom.
For, next to his dog, the average man
loves his trunk. He will patronize
the railroad that takes care of it.
