acteristic excitement hung over all the
speculative pits of the board of trade to-
day at the opening. Trade was very light

fFrom the onlooker.)

A story that is now going the rounds is
laid to the door of a piquante and dainty
little French lady who was more or less in
evidences at such places as were visited
by the Rochambeau embassy. The humor
of the situation lies in the extreme diff
fif1ence of the F'renchwoman- She is sem
sitfye to to the point of a double ner-
yousness and realizing the liability to err
in foreign tongue she was generally
careful to make selections of each indi-
yfdual word. Wherefore she was but the
more amusing when evening feeling
moved to demonstrate with gentleman
upon the chilliness of our northern May.

How to follow a blood trail to where

Intoxicated Young Men the Actors and
Street Car the Stage.
There seems to be no end of funny
incidents on surface cars. One hap

electric car that approXimates pretty
close to taking the palm.
1t was near the dawn of a new day,
when early birds are generally sup
posed to be in quest for vagrant and
inconsiderate worms. 1t was raining
great guns. Two young men in an adj
vanced condition of inebriety got on
car, the rules of the railroad COM
pany in such cases providing to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
They got on at different streets, so of
course their drunkenness was not
the result of protracted mutual con-
VITALITY. Again, one was in full eve
ming dress and wore hat of modern
make and style. The other was
dressed like a tramp-a seeming
Weary Willie" just come into town
from his rural travels, and wearing a
dation.
Pretty soon both men were sound
asleep, with heads bent forward and
resting on their knees. Shortly the
dudes hat fell off his head and then
the tramp's followed suit. A sympa-
thetic passenger picked them up and
put the silk hat on the tramp's head
