AT Saratoga. on the day his filly.

stakes, Frederick Gerhard told an
amusing story OF railway tunnel.
"A friend of mine" he said, THE 9th

parlor cal. of a train when two women
entered. After that he read In comfort
no longer. For 1t happened that he
was dressed in English clothes Of a
pronounced type, and to these clothes
the women. for some reason, took ex-
ception. They snickered in my friends
face; they kept whispering to one an
other with giggles and sidewise chances
at him; they kept saying, in tones that
he could hear:
Did .fou ever see such shirt?"
Pot ,1ats--fried egg hats-you call
those things
Dom the trousers fit funny?
my friend is mild man, but after
ten or fifteen minutes of this adverse
criticism his blood began to boil. He
asked himself how he could get even
with the women. While he was reyol-
wing various revenges in his mind the
train entered long, black tunnel, and
Immediately a happy thought came to
him.
Half way thru the tunnel he put the
back of his hand to his mouth and
kissed 4: violently and noisely four or
five times. The women after that were

came out into the light again, and it
pleased him to sea how strangely they
looked at one another. He, for his part.

way. For time he looked at them
Then H., said, sneeringly:

STRANGE ACTIONS.

Over in Alabama few nights ago
"a girl, the daughter Of the sheriff OF
the county, fell in love with one of
the prisoners her father had in jail.
That settled it so far as the girl was
concerned. When a woman falls in
love with criminal that criminal
has certainly fallen into good hands.
But to proceed: This girls father
had an occasion to absent himself for
a day or two and naturally entrusted
the keys of the Jail to her keeping.
Here was a fire opportunity to show
her lover how much she loved him
and, woman like, she showed it.
Between the rising and the setting Of
old man Sol she went to the Jail, re-
gardless of any mouse which might
be present, and there and then in VIC
lation Of the laws of Alabama, un-
locked the door of the Jail that i'm
prisoned her beloved and gave him
his liberty. This is not all she did
she accepted part of that liberty
by running off with him-for run
ming was his business Just MT thet
time.
This is not an unusual case. II
often happens, and it will continue
TO happen as long as there is man
at one end of scheme of the kind
and faithful woman at the other.
IN this instance the report states that
this girl had been talking to the man
through the bars of his cell. The
report goes on to state that he was eX-
ceedingly handsome and was inca--
cerated for adultery, having fooled
other women. He attracted the at
tention of this girl while she was in
the performance of some duties per-
haps required of her father, the jailer,
and fell.
1t has only been a short time. ago
since the Progress gave an accOunts OF
a lovely girl, the daughter of a jailer,
who in the same manner liberated two
murderers up in New Jersey in order
10 become the wife of one of them,
aud she adopted the same means as
;he one over at Oneonta, Ala as
above mentioned The officers got on
the trail Of the girl and the prisoners
and overtaking them there was a clash
when the girl was shot. -
When Guiteau, the murderer of
Garfield, was in prison and the whole
country knew he would be executed.
he was showered with bouquets from
the hands of the fair SEX When
Spies, the most notorious anarchist
with whom this country ever had TO
contend, was sentenced 10 be eNe-
cuted women almost fought to show
honor 70 him by giving him flowers
and their smiles And so it is all
along the line. Hence it is not sur
prising that this girl, southern wo-
man of southern parentage. should not
initiate her sex in other parts of the
country.
This seems to be a weakness of the
mind among the female sex, but on
the other hand the Progress could
mention many instances where the
male sex do net have as much sense.
This is strange world-that is we
have strange people.

1t strikes the Progress that it Is

seem to appear on the surface whether

named Gould, who is moro gall and
