Close Quarters.

From EVerybody's Magazine.
Any one who has ever Travelled on
,the New York subway In rush hours
can easily appreciate the following:
a little man, wedged into the middle
pockets, and quite as suddenly remem-
'bered that he had some money in his
'overcoat. He plunged his hand into his
pocket and a somewhat shocked
upon e~ncountering the fist OF a fat fell
low passenger.
"Aha!" snorted the latter. Il caught
you that ttmel"
"Leggo!" snarled the little man.
"Leggo my hand!"
""Pickpocket!" Kissed the fat man.
"~Scoundrel!" retorted the little one.
Just then n tall man In their vicinity
glanced up from his paper.
I'd like to get off here" he drawled,
Nif you fellows don't mind taking your
hands out of nv pocket"

twenty years previous. He asked about
different villagers he had known In the;
old days. and finally Of the town drunk

"oh. he's dead.'' was the reply.

former resident. We'll, then, what did
they do with him?"

Jug"

A New Dehni.,o,

a rather cynical joke has been re-
Gently credited to Senator Platt.
Ihe senator on his last visit TO the
manhattan Beach hotel. allowed a
pretty little girl, a western m%illionaire's
daushter, to be presented to him.
The little girl, in the course of one
of her many delightful chats with the
g statesman, said:
Tell me, won't you, senator. what
political economy is?"
Political economy, my dear child"
Senator Plat replied, lis the art OF
never buying more votes than you ac-
tualiy need.''
