THE FAT MANS LITTLE JOKE.
He Sprung II ON the Steamboat Cap
tain and Got His Large
Party Aboard.

A Coney Island excursion steamer was
leaving New York with but few passengers
aboard. The boat had just cast of, says the
Sun, when stout man with very red face
rushed down the pier, and, fourishing his
stick, shouted: "Hey, captainl Put back
back her quick. Here's large party wants
to Co."
ly shouted from the pilot house: How
large is the party?"
For an instant the fat man hesitated, then
he yelled back: Between 90 and TO-"
As soon as the captain heard this number
he instantly ordered the steamer back and
made fast again. The fat man waddled
across the gangplank, and, picking out a
nice deck seat, famed himself with his
straw hat. Meanwhile the captain and his
crew waited for the party to arrive. After
waiting five minutes and more, the captain
turned impatiently toward the stout man
and asked: where's your party between
80 and 70? This boat can't wait all day for
them?"
ooh, that's all right" replied the fat pas
senger, with bland smile. "Tm the party
-65 to-day, sir"
The captains face grew redder even than
the passengers as he furiously rang the bell
to steam ahead, but the fat man at once be-
came the hero Of the boat.

Asheville, N. G.

Few regions have been more richly en-
dowed by Nature than that famous section
of Western North Carolina POLITICALLY
termed the Land of the Sky" 1t has eli
mate so dry and health-giving that it has be-
come known the world over as a natural san
itarium for the cure Of all troubles Of pull
monary or bronchial nature.
Asheville, the center Of this beautiful
mountain-hemmed plateau, is the highest
city east of Denver, and is busy, thriving
place of 1900 inhabitants, with all the
modernisms of city life. The city lies just
at the point where the beautiful French
Broad and Swannanoa Rivers join their
crystal waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs many
people of wealth have built beautiful and
expensive homes, and most notable among
them being the chateau of Mr.. George w.
Vanderbilt, which, with its great estate, has
cost upwards of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort, for the
great mountains protect it in the winter
from the cold winds, and its summer climate
is made delightful because Of its altitude. !.
For descriptive matter of Asheville and
vicinity, call on any Southern Railway
Agent, or write Mr.. c. A. Benscoter, A. G..
