Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
Gentleness and kindness are DR.. Rix-

"Dr. Rixey," said one Of his col

his personal friends many of the most

States. In Washington his patients

DR.. Rixey would not suspect that he

Rixey's reticence keeps him from

CDR. Rixey recalls that when the

first time to a white house dinner
what seemed to impress her most was
the prodigal supply Of cream, and she
commented on its abundance, and
then added:

"Fatty" was once a conductor on
one Of the street car lines in Washing
ton, says the Post, and everybody who
rode with him liked HIM. Like many
Of the other conductors on the line,
"Fatty" had been greatly annoyed by
men who would get on his car and
tender him a $40 note from which
to deduct the fare. Of course, the
conductor could not make the change
and the man got his ridefree. Atlast,
however, FATTY" determined that he
would teach at least one of these a
lesson. So one morning before start
ing out on his run he went to the
cashier and got from him $40 in pen
MES. A few dayslater a man boarded
the car and handed "Fatty" a $40
note. Patty spoke not a word, but
went straight to the corner of the
car where he had deposited the bag
containing the pennies and abstract
ing five Of them handed the balance
to the passenger,
The latter protested that he did not
want that kind Of change, but FATTY"
insisted that he could not do any bet

bulky package with the best grace
he could under the circumstances.
"Fatty" felt good all day over what
he had done, and after his days work
he was %recounting to some Of his col

W ApvERrIsEMENr.
Then Found He Had Applied for His Own
Situation.


Jackson was a shorthand clerk, a
jovial and happy-go-lucky fellow.
Punctuality was no Characteristic Of
his, and he was frequently in hot wa
ter with his superiors on that account.
1t was only natural, therefore, that
he should look out for more congenial
surroundings, says the Chicago Jour
nal. An advertisement appeared in
the daily papers:
WANTED, ~SMARTY0UNG MAN,
good shorthand writer and CORE
spondent; good salary for suitable
applicant.
Thereupon Jacksona at once resolved
to try his luck, and replied in the fol-
lowing terms
Dear Sir: Seeing your advertise
ment in The Witness, l beg to tender
YOU my services. lam a capital short
hand writer and of ~gentlemanly APP
pearance. l should be pleased to call
upon you if desired.
About fourday afterward the prin-
cipal called Jackson into his private
office. "Good-mornirg, Jackson.
suppose you're going to leave us?"
"Well, sir, not that | am aware Of"
stemmered Jackson, in reply.
well, at any rate, you are applying
for another situation, which l suppose
Is pretty much the same thing. You
remember saying what a gentlemanly
appearance you'd got?"
Visions of the advertisement now
fitted before Jackson, and he realized
what an ass he had made of himself,
"Well, now" said the principal.
you've been applying for your OWE
situation, and III let you have it il
you'll promise to be more punctual
in the future"
And Jackson took the advice.

A BIRD TRAGEDY.
Four Fighting Sparrows Eleetrocuted on
the Brooklyn Bridge,

the Brooklyn Bridge,
Several persons waiting for a
Brooklyn bridge car a few days ago
saw a battle royal between a number
Of English sparrows that ended in
the electrocution Of four Of the little
warriors. The fight took place in
the Manhattan end Of the bridge,
where the bridge cars are switched
from one track to the other. 1t was
during a dull hour in the morning,
and but few persons we're watching
the feathered fighters when the trag-
edy occurred.
AS all who travel on the bridge
know, the third rail runs through
the bridge, and in the yards at this
point is labeled in large white letters
on a red background Dangerous"
Between trains a score Of angry spar
rows flew beneath the roof, making
a great noise and attacking one of
their number with greatfury,
AS several Of the birds lit on the
third rail and the track rail next to il,
the mass Of little fighters rose cling
ing to one another, all pecking and
chirping. In this way a circuit must
have been formed, for suddenly there
was a binding flash that made the
spectators close their eyes and which
attracted the attention of one of the
guards, who ran to the spot. Hefound
two of the birds had been burned to
a crisp. One was badly singed, and
another was dead without a mark on
it. Two others which had been
stunned futtered away before they
could be caught.-E. W. Kelly, in

TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.

The inauguration of service OF
this character means quite as much to
its patrons as it does to the railway COM
pany interested. If we we're not sanguine
OF the success OF this train, it goes with
out saying that 1t would never have been
established. 1t fills a long-felt want aud
opens a new and fast develo ping country.
But we feel that these are not the only
factors that may reasonably be expected to
contribute to It's success-the time is fast;
the train is a ~"handy" one, as regards
hours Of arrival at and departure from
termini; aud the equipment is ornate, and
provided with all modern conveniences.
These features should, of themselves,
tend to make the train popular.
We also take pleasure ia announcing
material improvements in our service via
Fort Smith and Paris to Texas and the
Southwest.
