Story of a Joke That Was Not All
a Joke.
When the bridal couple boarded the
train at Buffalo everybody sat up and
took notice. They conducted them
selves as well as could be expected
under the circumstances, but after
about four hours ride the bridegroom
left her side and got off at station
where a short stop was made. He
said to the bride that he wanted to
speak to a man, but on the quiet he
said to one Of the boys:
when the train starts I'll get into
the car behind and she'll think was
left. Then look out to see her go into
fits. I'll appear on the scene in time
to prevent consequences"
AS the train started a drummer,
who was told of the bridegroom's
plan, walked into the car and without
question sat down beside the bride
and soon was talking about the
weather, Buffalo and dozen other
things. She grew interested. The
husband waited a quarter of an hour
and then sneaked into the car. He
saw his wife talking in very ami
mated way, and when he went for
ward she looked up and said:
THAT you, James? | thought you
we're left. Sit down somewhere"
And for two hours he "sot," while
the drummer held the fort, and every
body was tickled to death.

Dad sat in the doorway of his shan

the screech of an owl was plainly
heard. Dad dropped his pipe and
rushed to the door, revolver in hand,
Suddenly, he heard to the right Of him,
the repeated cry of the owl. 1t was
an imitation. He turned to reach for
his rifle. AS he did so, Long Jim
hurled himself upon the man, whose
hospitality he had accepted, like
thunderbolt and struck him twice with
the butt end of a revolver. A blind
rage possessed Dad. He grasped Jim
by the throat and, as he frightened
his hold, he was almost deafened by
a report and simultaneously felt a
sharp pain in his arm. The next In
slant Dad floored his antagonist and
threw his weapon twenty feet away.

lips set, and the grey eyes seemed to
fash fire.

Christian Smith, now living on his
farm near Harper's Ferry, saw the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad develop
from horse car line into its present
great steam railroad system. When
20 years old in 1882 Mr.. Smith was
employed as a teamster to drive the
cars on a stretch of fifteen miles.
When locomotives were adopted he
became an engineman and supervisor
of engines. He left the service of the
company in 1873, but is still a vigor-

TALES TOLD OF WHISTLER.
Recently Deceased Artist Had a
Ready Wit, But Seldom Displayed II.

Recently Deceased Artist Had a
Ready Wit, But Seldom Displayed It.
The late James Mcneil Whistler,
the world-famed artist, was more
noted for his sarcasm than for his
wit, although he possessed a goodly
share of the latter. He seldom joked,
however. Once on time when an
intimate friend of his was to be mar
ried he promised to attend. The
bridal party reached the church, but
Whistler was nowhere to be seen. A
telegram was handed to the groom
when about to proceed to the altar
which read:
Am detained; don't wait; can't
reach the church in time-get mar
ried. Blessings all the same!"
The caustic little artist used to say
that one of the smartest things he
ever heard was said by a friend, How
ard Paul, who was about to caress a
huge dog, the glare of whose eye
suggested ferocity.
Don't be afraid" said Whistler en-
couragingly. Look at his tail-how
it wags. When dog wags his tail
he's in good humor."
THAT may be-" replied Paul, but
observe the wild glitter in his eye. |
don't know which end to believe"
And Jimmy repeated this remark all
over town until it got into the papers.
1t was Whistler who defined wit
"as the power to say what everybody
would like to have said if they had
happened to think of it,"

MILNER's RISE TO POWER.
From a Poor Journalist to Rank Of
African Viceroy.

The Austrian government sent pri-
vate car to Trieste for Lord Miner on
his arrival from Africa, but when he
reached Vienna there was no one to re-
ceive him at the station except an
employee of the hotel, where he had en-
gagged rooms. He carefully counted
his pieces of baggage and awaited the
customs inspectors, who, however, did
not modest him. A Viennese news
paper credits Lord Miner with the re-
mark that, having been originally a
poor journalist, he had succeeded in
attaining the rank of African viceroy
by his perseverance in fighting for the
ideas of Rhodes and Chamberlain.

WISH FOR PHILIPPINE SERVICE.
Soldiers Anxious to Remain in New
Possessions.

Soldiers Anxious to Remain In New
Possessions.
Experience seems to be proving that
not only is the Philippine service at
tractlve to soldiers who have never
been there and are anxious to cross
the seas to learn what dreams may
come in the land of adventure. but
also those who have been there some
time are eager to remain, says dis
patch from San Francisco. Word has
reached the Seventh infantry that 1t
will not be necessary for it to assign
any recruits from the depot here or
at Columbus barracks and New York,
as there are 300 men in Manila wait
ing to be transferred to the outgoing
regiments.
A great many of the soldiers in the
regiments under orders to proceed to
the United States are short-term men,
who in the natural course of events
would be discharged from the service
shortly after their arrival here. A
large majority of these have signified
their willingness and desire to re-
main In tho Philippines, so pleasing
have they found their service there.
The war department has therefore in
formed the Seventh infantry that not
only are there 300 recruits awaiting
transfer 10 the Seventh, but enough
men to give each of the outgoing regi-
ments 300 men apiece. AS the Sew
enth infantry needs only 200 recruits,
the need will be amply covered. An
advantage will be gained also by pro
curing experienced men.
