A COOL TRAVELLER.


 An Alabama politician who Is well known throughout the state recently showed a cooness and presence of mind that Is seldom equaled. While en route to keep an appointment, he was trying to write a letter on a pad held across his knees. He had a fountain pen in one hand and a cigar was stuck in his mouth. Suddenly there came a crash and the rending sounds that accompany a railroad collision. Everybody in the car was precipitated in various direc- tions. The politician was hurled over the backs of two seats, but landed right side up'' in a seat to the rear. With the cigar still in his mouth and still graspng his writing materials, he calm ly finished his letter. while the other pa ssengers, nursing their bruises, piled out of the car to see how much damage was done.

 Of course all the world loves a stayer, even when he stays too long, like the faithful old Greek, but it will not over look the human qualities of the man who hankered for the companionship of his kind and made some sacrifice to get it.

 N order for three ham sandwiches
 A was the innocent cause of an 4 \ uprising which scattered sugar bowls, catsup bottles, soup spoons and other phara phernalia of the dining table over half an acre of the territory ad- joining and abutting on 243 East One Hundred and Twenty-f1rst street and sent three bruised men to the police station to answer to charges of assault, dls- orderly conduct and intoxication, re-. spectively. The sandwiches were for hungry policeman. However. that is aside from the question. The real casus belli according to eye-witnesses, must be identified with the failure of white aproned restaurant employees when on duty to speak the human language
 For instance, if Max Brosgal, the oblig- ing waiter on duty at the restaurant In question this morning, had extended his well-wishes with a few verbal trimmings to the chef on duty and had then re- ouested him to construct a trio of ham sandwiches for the appeasement of hun ger that goes ofttimes within the uni- formed breast what a world of woe, tribulation and worry he might have averted! But he did no such thing. In accordance with the headlong and time honored habits of his profession, the waiter cupped his hands on either side of his mouth, righted about toward the kitchen window, and bawled out: ''Three hams going out!"
 Now, it so happened that three custom CTS who were not wholly used to lan- guase sit is maltreated in the bean cries of this big wicked city were just in the act of liquidating their bills and hik- ing 1t out into the gladsome early morn

No doubt youre glad the summers gone. With heat and dust and flies, And "skeeters" singing every night, And fishers with their lies, And all the rank discomforts which July and August brought, Which kept us peevish all the time And left us much distraught. But human wights are seldom pleased For any length of time. Iris always something out of reach Would make us feel just prime So, when the price of coal goes up And all the world Is drear, And furnaces won't work, we'll wish The summer months were here.
