JOKE PLAYED.
Upon a Passenger Agent with a Bis
TarDon and CONN.

Upon a Passenger Agent with a Big
Tarpon and Conn.
A crowd of railroad men were seated
in n of the passenger offices the
other afternoon spinning yarns and
relating "reminiscences. "Well YOU
talk about hustiers for business said
n of them, 'old Jim B. was the best
that ever stamped a ticket. But he
ran against a hard bargain shortly
after he left here. He was stationed
in Louisville as agent for a line which
ran to Florida. One day a man came
in the office by mistake to buy a ticket
to California. He was a consumptive,
and had one foot in the grave already.
Jim told him about the balmy atmos-
phere of Florida, and tried to persuade
him to go there instead, but the con-
sumptive and his friends insisted on
his going to California. Finally Jim
as a last resort said to the consump-
tive's friend: You take him down to
Florida, and If he dies I will agree
to pay all funeral expenses. Just ship
him back in my care OF course he
didn't have any idea he would ever
be called on. The ccnsumptive finally
agreed to go to Florida, where he re-
gained his health and is now able to
do a hard days work. Jim did not
hear from him for about six months.
Several of his railroad friends were
in Florida on a fishing trip, and
having known of Jim's promise, they
decided to play a joke on him. They
caught a large tarpon fish, and secur-
ing a coffin, put the fish into it and
sent it to Jim. AS soon as he saw the
express tag on it the promise he had
made to the consumptive came across
his mind. He had the coffin sent over
to another agent who was in on the
promise with him. 1t was hidden
away in a back room until the next
day, when one Of the clerks who YVES
not as timid as the rest opened the lid
and discovered that it was only a fish.
1t taught Jim a lesson, and since that
he has not held out a funeral as an
inducement to any to go over his
line. "-Memphis Scimitar.

ammoniae ammonia water, or LIQUID
ammonia) has recently been added to
the list of these extinguishers. as
would appear from an item telling of
a case where the vapors of a tank con-
tanning fifty gallons OF gasolene caught
fire in the linen room of a laundry.
The room was instantly a mass of liv-
ing flames, but a gallon and a half of
ammonia water thrown into 1t COM
pletely and almost Immediately extin-
guished the fire. The ammonia was
in a glass demijohn in an apothecary's
shop next door to the laundry, and was
thrown into the room by the druggist
as an experiment. To use his own
words in reporting the circumstance,
the effect was instantaneous, torrents
OF black smoke rolling upward in place
OF flames, and in a moment every trace
of fire was gone"
