SHE WAS GRATEFUL, ANYWAY
And the Young Lady's Error Was Quite Natural, Under the
 Circumstances.

Edward Barrett, state geologist, who lives at Thirty-siXth and Meridian streets, was on a Meridian Heights car on his way home recently. At Massachusetts avenue a young couple got on the car. They appeared to be very attentive and devoted to each other. There were only two vacant seats on the car, one at the side of Mir. Barrett, and the other on the opposite side of the car. The young woman sat down in one of the vacant seats and the young man in the other, but too far away to talk to the young woman.
 The couple looked at each other with longing eyes, as if they wished to sit together. The car was rattling along at noisy rate, which made it iInpos- sible for one person to talk to another any distance away. MT. Barrett mo- tioned with his fingers to the young man, and pointed to the seat he was occupying, and also to the seat the young man was occupying, indicating a change of seats.
 The young man gladly accepted the prOffered change of seats, and soon the two were seated together and en- toying each others talk. The car stopped at the next crossing and Mr. Barrett was surprised and amused to hear the young woman murmur to the young man, as both looked at MT. Bar rett with thanks in their eyes:
 Tt was so kind of that deaf and dumb man to give you his seat"
 And the car jostled on.-Indianapo- lis News.

COLONEL HAD LAST WORD
Officers Joke Was All Right Until the Commander Got Tired of
 Hearing 1t.

A well-known French colonel had a mania for questioning his officers about their families, invariably starting of with: "What is your fathers profes- sion, your mothers, and your sis ter's"
 Some of the subalterns became so wearied of this endless repetition that they decided among themselves to give each in turn the following reply My father is shoemaker, my moth CT is laundress, and my sister is very flighty."
 On the following Sunday, after the customary church parade, the colonel, who had already received the same answer to his questions from two or three of the officers, turned to another and started off in the old stereotyped strain: "What Is your fathers profes. sion2"
 "He is a shoemaker"
 And your mother's?'
 "She is laundress."
 "That will do," interrupted the colonel, T know the rest; your sis ter is f1ighty,' and you will consider yourself confined to barracks until she behaves better !"

 Colburn's family found themselves prisoners in their own house. There
 was feet and 10 inches of snow at
 the front door, and nearly as much at
 the other doors. Being double doors,
 the outside ones opening outward,
 they refused to afford egress to the inmates. The windows were tried in-
 effectually, some of them being almost entirely covered with snow, and oth- CTS refusing to open. After some time door was pressed open far enough for one to squeeze through.

FINDS CALL STIRS HIM UP
City Conductors Call, "Let 'Em of First!" Acts Like a Tonic
 on This Writer.

That day does not start right when I do not go to work by public convey ance. I can motor to work, or can walk, as l sometimes do, and hear all the sounds incident to busy streets the honking of horns, the whistles of the traffic policemen and the shouting of newsboys. These all help in getting me in key for the days work, but they do not take the place of the con- ductOr's plea to the clamorous crowds on the railway platforms, Let 'em off first ]"
 The command is given in tone of authority that forces the people to stand back. You mediate upon what would happen but for the trainman's solicitude for his passengers. The little blond stenographer who sat beside you would without doubt be carried to the next station, or maybe a dozen stations beyond, and, being late, be fired. You yourself, for that matter, might be whisked on past your station and fall into a passion that would cause your breakfast to sour and make you surly all day. And there is always
 
 a man has to be placid these days or lose his nerves, his job, and every thing.
 Let 'em of frsta.-the col Id affects one in anotlier way, tt. carries a suggestion that one VI eo; get off, and that suggektiop prea tly get off-ad of lhalsl : to n ssa on. n if you dare.
 You battle the suggestion manfhIly from one station to another, until \ by the time you reach your stop, Mur mind is keyed up to concert pitch; You are thoroughly awake, and attack yoNr days work with an energy that is rIn- known to the man who, immersed( (in his morning papers, is lost to what is going on around him.-T. c.

His Wealth In Ills Mind.

Imaginary wealth got a man into trouble in Edinburgh a few days ago. The man was being prosecuted for obtaining goods on false pretenses. It was stated that he had been previous ly convicted in Edinburgh, and was formerly in the Royal Scots. He had lively imagination, and described himself as residing at Cranston house, Braemar. There was found in his possession will, by which he be- queathed number of legacies giv- ing $25,0OO to one lady, and $5,OOO to the Sick Children's hospital. Aberdeen. There was. however, no Cranston house at Braemar, and all the wealth in the accused's possession was about
 Il cents.

Particularly Cruel Murder.

An atrocious murder took place the other night in the village Bagundi in Bisirhat, India. It is reported that a married Mahomedan woman was i'll for three days and her husband after obtaining all the available assistance without any effect sat by the side of his wife on the veranda when some unknown persons got over the boun- dary wall and one of them fired a gun toward the couple. The husband was shot in the chest and died on the spot and bullet passed through the arm of his wife. Vigorous inquiry is pro- ceeding but no trace of the culprits has yet been found nor the motive of the murder ascertained.

In Memory of French Heroes.

It is believed that with the close of the war the entire line of trenches in France, extending from Alsace to the Belgian border, may be converted into sort of national sacred forest as a permanent tribute to the memory of the French "Poilus," who died there defending their native soil. A proposi- ton to this effect has been prepared by the general council of the depart ment of the Mouse and will be sub- mitted to not only France, but the en- tire world
