AN uERREllA STORY.

An amusing incident took place last
summer on n of the Chicago Metro
politan Elevated trains. A prominent
banker of the Windy City, whose name
we withhold from publication Tor obvious
reasons, was returning homeward after
a rather improbable afternoons sport
at the Harlem race-track. At one of the
intermediate stations along the road a
with two children, one probably
two years of age and the other about
five, entered the car. The elder child, a
girl, with dirty face and hands be-
smeared with the remnants of a stick of
molasses candy, or seeing a ~gold-headed
umbrella in the hands of the young and
rather good looking banker, was at once
seized with an ungovernable propensity
to be possessed Of the same.
After making several futile attempts
to ecure the coveted plaything the mag
unanimous young man yielded to the
mendicating glance of the child and
handed her the umbrella.
The little girl was greatly pleased and
began exhibiting her joy by brandishing
the rain-protector overhead menacingly,
causing the young man to do some
hasty side-stepping in order to save his
eyes from being unceremoniously gouged
out. The car windows also had several
very close shaves. BY this time the car
was pretty we'll filled with passengers,
mostly women, who seemed to be highly
amused by the child's antics. There
were three vacant seats directly opposite
the young man. At Halsted street these
were occupied by a trio of gushing
maidens, whose attention was of course
attracted to the young banker.
At last the child grew tired of the UNI
brella, and, dropping it to the floor, made
an effort to grab the young mans hat,
but instead Of obtaining it, landed both
her sticky hands in his face, leaving a
dirty smudge on his cheek, to the
great amusement Of the three young
ladies, whose mirth seemed to know no
bounds. The attention Of nearly every
one in the car was now attracted in the
direction of the banker, who did not ap-
pear at all embarrassed, but seemed
rather pleased in being an actor in the
little comedy. The mother of the girl,
dressed in a very shabby and ill-ftting
costume, leaned toward the young man
and whispered an apology for the child's
conduct.
On looking in the direction of the trio
of young ladies the young gentleman OBJ
served that they seemed greatly puzzled
about something, but after hearing the
one nearest him remark in a stage whis'
per something which sounded very much
like "No, l don't think so, he looks toe
young" he was convinced of the cause
of their anxiety, and taking a newspaper
from his coat he wrote in blue lead pen.
Gil the following: "Let your minds be al
rest; l am a bachelor" He then pro
ceeded to feign reading the other side
holding the paper in such a manner az
to disclose to the view of the passengers
on the opposite side of the car what he
had written.
1t would be impossible to describe the
scene which followed. The young ladie:
became seized with so violent a fit o.
laughter that they were obliged to leave
the car at the next station to avoid hys
terra, while rest of the passengers mar
veled at the bankers sang froid.- Typo

Or. pearsons Endowed Fargo College.

Dr.. Pearsons Endowed Fargo College.
Here are some epigrams of the famous
philanthropist, DR.. D. K. Pearsons, on
longevity:
Most men dig their graves with their
teeth.
No pies or cakes, no pains or aches.
Live like a farmer and you'll live like a
prince.
Don't get angry and don't get excited
every time you fret you lose a minute OF
life.
Give away money; it's exhilarating
and tends to longevity. :.
The idea of giving when ones alive will
become epidemic when men discover
what fun it is.
Doctor Pearsons is eighty years old anc
arp.ars to be as lively as many men o.
sixty.
