Small Consolation.

The roads. While filling the tank Of
the vehicle the long ~hosepipe came off

There was no way to get the water
turned off except to go straight into
the middle of it. The waterman had
many trials before he managed to
throttle the impromptu fountain. And
when he had made it tap the mat, and
came out soaked to the2skin, he was
not cheered up by the remark of a

WRATH CAME IN VERY HANDY
So Mad After spat With Sweetheart
That He Whipped a
Bandit.

Sam Jones was mad clear through,
He had just had a quarrel with his,
sweetheart, and although he had con-
cealed his anger until he left her
home he a now boiling over with
rage. AS usual, Sam had got the
worst of the little spat, for in spite Of
his 6 feet 2 and his great strength,
his diminutive lady love had wound;
him around her finger like SO much;
ribbon.
As Sam alighted from the elevated;
train at his home station his cheeks
were still flushed with helpless anger
and he was just spelling for a fight,
or almost any kind of a chance to-
even up matters on some one. His
wish was destined to be granted;
sooner than he knew, for when he
descended the elevated steps to the
street a figure blocked his path, a re-
volver was held a few inches below
his nose, and a gruff voice command
ed, Come on! Shell out, jack"
Without a seconds hesitation Sam
smashed the would-be robber full in
the face with his brawny fist and sent
him Keeling several PAGES backward
and stunned him so that he dropped
his weapon. Both Sam and the thief
were SO surprised that they merely
stared at each other for a few sec
onds, then the latter remembered that
he possessed a good pair Of legs and
started to run at express speed.
Here's a good one," Sam laughed
grimly as he set out in hot pursuit
of his assailant. This fellow intend.

give up the chase, however, for he
was burdened with a heavy ulster.
while the holdup mar wore a. light;
sweater.
Gee" chuckled Sam, eff hadn'tj
been as hot under the collar as I was,
as a result Of that little fuss with
Alice, I'll bet I'd have shel1ed out like
a little lamb when he presented the
invitation. I'll go up there tomorrow
night with a big box of chocolates.

A special to the Sioux City Jour
nal gives a thrilling account of the
way in which a company of far
mers at Kaylor held up a freight
train and proceeded to confiscate a
car load of binding Irvine. It
makes a very interesting story, the
only error in the report being that
it is not true. The foundation for
the story seems to be that a mer-
chant at Kaylor had a shipment Of
Irvine on the train, and in the same
car was a shipment for a merchant
in Trip. Kaylor being a flag sta
ton, with no agent, the shipment
for that place was not unloaded
there but was taken on to Trip,
the next station. The Trip mer-
chant there proceeded to unload
and sell not only his portion of the
shipment but that billed to the
Kaylor merchant as we'll. The
Kaylor merchant followed the train
to Trip and demanded his Irvine,
which by that time had been part
ly disposed of, and that was where
the trouble came in.
