| at Dunkirk, which made no stoas from
there TO Buffalo.
There were many passengers in tbs.
car, and nearly all were asleep.
Being very tired, took seat

chuckle of a rooster.
The rooster stTutted wonGrrfrgIv

Portly man, who was leaning back. with
legs crossed, one knee as high as hi,
head and still asleep.
He took only one look and theDF few
up, alighting on the conspicuous knee
AT this juncture everyone else in
the car became intensely interested
and nearly all the passengers We're On
their feet, anxious to see what the man
would do when he awOke.
1T needed only one more sound from
the rooster before the stout man
opened his eyes, and with a sudden
start backward he threw up his hands,
in astonishment, while roars of laugh.
ter came from every part Of thecar
This excitement was too much for
the rooster, and with one iump bs
flew up on the bell rope which ssgged
down under his weight, and the Chi.
cago express, laundering along at 50
miles an hour, come to such q sudden
stop that many passengers were
thrown from their feet in a contgss6
muddle.
"The train had no more than came
to stop when an irate conductorcane
hurriedly into the car and demanded
who had stopped the train.
BY that time the owner of the
rooster had awakened, and. taking in
the situation, reached up and gathered
IN the wandering bird restoring him
to the bag from which he had escaped
and which contained two more fowls
that had not found their way out.
THE merriment was too great for
any sleep from there TO Buffalo.

he believes that cOngenial natures are
built on like plans. He also wanted one
who could 'cuke eggs without petrify-
ing and fiapjacks without blistering.' -
Nemee is particular about his eggs
and tiapjacks.
The other requirements were that
the wife should not be above 90 years
of age and that she should have curly
hair. 1t was further specified that she
should be such a woman as would
"reciprocate even a failing affection. {"
Several women answered, but when
they left after their first interview
with the fortune teller they never re-
turned, and il was concluded that they
had failed to fill the bill. Three weeks
ago a candidate IoOmed up in Sioux
Falls, 5. d., in the person of Mrs. Anna
Grange.
Il have the requisite legs and hair"
she wrote, 'and l would not object 10
a husband if he was Just moderate in
temper and wouldn't expect too much.
L have four children. but Ben and Nav
can farm in any place where work
would keep ahead of eating expenses"
Before Nemee had time to answer
the letter Mrs. Granger and her family
appeared. Nemee was inclined to pro-
test at first. She was an evident ringer
She did not even have the wooden leo
But Mrs. Grange is woman Of strong
purposes. She told the fortune-telleT
that she had come all the way from
South Dakota to answer his advertise
ment and she did not propose to let
little thing like wooden leg or the
lack OF one prevent her from getting
a husband. She had TO have some re-
turn for her car fare. she said.
Nemee, being unable to read his own
future in ti.is respect. was won over

CUPID AND PROPHET.
This Story Proves That Sometimes
Both Are Blind.
soOthsayeF Wanted n Wife with
Wooden Leg-When She Arrived
She Took Charge of Things
and Ruled the RoOst

1t has never been determined quite
satisfactorily that love is bUn-. Lovers
| frequently are, but whether Mr.. cupid
himself is or not depends on the way
| he is yiewed-whether he is consid-
cred a beneticent spirit or merely a
misunderstanding influence who is en-
tirely unconcerned whether he does
good things or not, just so he does
things.
Nemee BronsOn's story sustains the
blind theory well, says the Chicago
Tribune
Nemee lived in Waterbury, Conn. He
is skilled in fortune telling and has been
esteemed a prophet with first, second,
third, and goodness knows how many
more sights" Now Nemee is a
prophet without honor in his own cOun-
try. And it is all because he could not
see his own finish. He could not see
what was coming to him when it was
big enough for other people TO see it
ten miles off.
AS a result Mr.. Bronson is now re-
GREETING the day he took chance with
Cupid. He was unable To lift the veil
and peer into his own future. When
it came to choosing a wife he was as
blind as the blindest.
Several weeks ago Nemee became
lonesome and approached several of
his neighbors on the proposition of
securing one of their daughters as a
wife. None appeared enchanted with
the idea. All begged to be excused
from furnishing a daughter for seer
ess.
Failing in this search Nemee did
what men have done before him and
will do after him. He advertised for
wife. He had peculiar ideas as to the
qualifications a wife should have. He
wanted one who was wooden legged.
Nemee himself has a wooden leg, and
