Suspicious Characters.

At a station in northern Pennsylva-
MIA number of young ministers, pro-
ceeding to a religious conference in
Philadelphia, boarded coach where
in there was dilapidated young
woman smelling Of beer. For some
time the young men in black garb con-
versed gravely on conference affairs,
while the berry young woman nodded
in her corner.
The train approached long tunnel.
The young woman reused herself. She
pinned back lazily long strand OF
hair that had fallen on her shoulder,
and fixed her gaze upon the ministers.
Then she produced from her basket a
huge bread knife. Making few I'M
steady lunges in the air with this i'm
plement, she addressed the reverend
gentlemen thus:
Don't none of you boys try no
tricks on me in the tunnel, or, mark
my words. I'll open ye!"-Everybody's
