A LITTLE NONSENSE.
How a Man Was "squnehed" In a
Street Car.


The undersized, smooth faced
man who boarded a west bound car
at the corner Of Sixth street and the
avenue, evidently a just arrived
traveller, was everything immacu-
late in toggery, from the tips of his
patent leather shoes to the crown of
his silk hat. He wasn't G chappie,
but a middle aged man, who looked
as if he might be old maidish as to
his apparel. He took a seat of
about the proper area for full
sized man; but, as stated, he wasn't
full sized, so that he left a vacancy
of about foot on one side of him.
At the Seventh street transfer
station the first transferee to enter
the car was an old fashioned black
nanny, who couldn't have weighed
much less than $50. She made for
the vacant space beside the i'm
maculate undersized man and sat
down in it--not in any pushing
militant way, but firmly and de-
cisiyely nevertheless. She didn't ap-
pear to have noticed the smooth
faced, undersized man. For five ol
six squares he sat invisible as to all
of his anatomy except his feet and
head, when he suddenly sneezed
The old nanny turned about anG
looked at him when he sneezed, anC
then she made an effort to push over
and give him little more room.
"Well, bress he alPs ha'ht, Al

claimed sohcitously.

STALLlNeS WAS, UNABASHED.

Representative Stallings OF Ala

able to turn corner quicker than
any other politician in the south,
but he found himself in very close
corner the other day. 1t so hap
pened that gentleman living in one
Of the most prominent towns in
Stallings' district got on the train
for Washington one fine morning to
see about the appointment as post
master which Stallings had prom
ised him. TO his pleasure he found
another prominent citizen Of that
place fellow passenger.
Before they had travelled so miles
condolences were exchanged, and
they discovered, to their indigna-
ton, that both werO bound on the
same errand. Stallings had prom
ised the posto(lioe to both of them
during the last campaign and had
told them to come to Washington
shortly before the term of the pres
ent incumbent expired. AT first they
we're inclined to turn back home,
but after discussing the subject
awhile they concluded that they
would go on to Washington and
confront Stallings with his duplic-
ity.
They arrived all right and the
next morning called upon their con-
gresham at his hotel. He received
them cordially, was not a bit flus-
trated, and when each in turn re-
minded him of his promise to make
him postmaster Stallings clapped
his hand upon his knee, roared with
laughter and said, 'Boys, / reckon
one of you uns must be lying, and l
wish you'd tell me which it is."-

He Got a Bed.

"a good story about 'Battleax'
Gleason was dug up the other day."
said the man from Long Island City,
'It's a story which gives some clew
TO the ex-mayoTs success as a polit-
ical leader. 1t happened in 1896,
when he was out in Indianapolis as
a delegate to the national conyen-
ton which nominated Palmer and
Buckner. The hotel accommodations
in the Indiana city were not the lar
gest or the best, and by the time
the advance guard had got rooms
the town was filled to overflowing.
When the mayor arrived, everybody
asked him what he was going to do
to get a place to sleep.
"DoP he said. What am / 60
ing to do? Just watch me- And
they watched him, with the result
that he had the laugh on the whole
crowd of them. He simply went to
hospital, hired a private room at
$40 a week and slept there in the
greatest comfort for two nights
while the other delegates tried to
be comfortable in bandboxes for
which they had paid at the rate of
from $40 to $50 a day. No one can

that show it."-New York Mail and
