"Mirandy's" Foresight.
A short, well-built man, with red hair and
beard passed through the crowd at the Bal
timore and Ohio depot last night and meas
ured his full length upon the pavement.
Say old SPORT remarked a bystander,
''how do you like it?"
Like what?" muttered the man on the
pavement:

well, by gosh,'' said the victim of the
accident, IF you'd go up in my country
and fall on them mountains hard as I
fell on your bricks you'd never have seen
your old woman again. I'm from that part
of West Virginia where the mountains are
always on the move, and they always move
up. When a man falls the mountain meets
him half way, and something always hap
pens.
See. here brother said a woman who
happened to come along and see the stran-
ger trying to get away from in front of
the railroad station, don't you think you
would have much better time If you would
leave Washington liquid refreshments
alone?'

stranger. "A man comes along and says

"The Man From Cooks"
There was jolly bunch of girls on "a
14th street car going toward the Capitol
last night There was blonde one a
brunette one, demure one, quiet one and
vivacious one, all of them having real
good time, having come to Washington
from nearby city, evidently to witness the
| inauguration. The party of girls made
merry on the car and attracted consider
able attention from the passengers, par
ticularly from the men, for every feminine
in the bunch was good to look upon.
When the car reached the B. and o. sta
ton the girls started to get off to go to the
Capitol. A middle-aged gentleman. sitting
opposite, detained them, saying: This car
goes right up to the Capitol, ladies' The
girls all sat down Immediately in unison.
When the car reached the street turn
the middle-aged gentleman remarked
Here's where you get off, ladies.
The vivacious girl thanked the gentle
man demurely, and the others giggled and
as the party filed off the car the vivacious
girl commanded: Follow the man from
Cooks"
The passengers on the car smiled when
they gazed out of the windows as the car
rolled on to see the midde-aged gentleman
trudging toward the Capitol with the five
young ladies trooping along behind in sin
gle file.

world than 1 do declared a good-na tured
resident of the rural districts of Ohio, who
was struggling along one of the streets of
Washington with heavy grip in each

confused by the numerous differing direc4
lions that had been given him as to how
to reach the home of his Washington
friend.
I've been amblin' about here for about
two hours" said the Ohioan, and I amt
no nearer Jim's house than when landed

car and the man who had come to WASH

his hand from the rear platform of the
