A lady of truly masculine spirit,
accompanied by small poodle, is said
to have failed sadly the other day in
an attempted reformatory movement.
She entered the smoking car of a
suburban train and sternly refused,
when approached by the conductor, to
go into another car, observing that
her presence would keep the other oc-
eupants from smoking. One thick
skinned wretch, however, insensible to
the claims of refinement and reform,
began to enjoy his accustomed cigar.
which was suddenly snatched from his
lips with the remark in high treble:
"If there is anything I do hate it is
tobacco smoking!" For a time the
offender was motionless. then, gravely
rising, amid the curiosity of the as
sembled smokers, he took that little
poodle out of the lady's lap and gently
threw him through the window, sigh
ing: IF there Is anything l do hate u
is poodle. "-Chicago Tribune.

her side. Catching her by the most
convenient arm, lifting her bodily
from the sidewalk, he rushed her
across the street, lodging cars and
wagons, and finally landed her safe on
the other side. Then it was she turned
an indignant face and flashing eyes
