During a strlko on ono of the eastern
roads thojr luul to pick up nuylxHly they
could to mini what trains had to Ihj run.
Tho engineers and conductors on tho font
trains stood by tho company, but the brake
men were out. The superintendent hired
ono blK bulky fellow, who gave his name
as lloscome, to net as hrakoman on the
Chicago limited.
"Now, boss," ho said to tho superintend
out, "you Just tell mo what to do and you
bet your boots I'll do It. Do you want any
strikers killedr"
"No, no. Don't you meddle with them
unless they meddlo with you. You won't
have very much to do unless something
goes wrong with tho train. Then you help
as much as you can and do what the con
ductor tells you to."
"And If things ko smooth, what do I do
then?"
"Just shout the tiiuuu of tho stations."
When tho CIiIciiko limited started out at
0 o'clock that night Boscome was on one
of tho sleepers. Kvcrybody was In hL
berth trying to get to sleep, when Boscomo
put his head in the door nud jelled;
"Brenton's Corners!"
"Fo do I Jtud," cried the porter, aghast,
"you mussctit call do names out in a sleep
ing cab."
"You tend to your hlnckln boots and
don't Interfere with me I'm a doln my
duty and don't you furget lu"
People put their heads out from between
curtains nud wanted to know what lunatic
was abroad. The sleeping car conductor
expostulated with lloscome, but every time
a lot of lights Unshed past tho new brake
inan yelled "Muggln's Junction" or what
ever name was next on his list. Tho train
conductor at last camo along and said he
would put Boscome off, but tho stnlwart
brakemnti asked hi m to try it on if he
thought he could do It
"1 ain't got nuthlii agin you, conduc,"
said Hoscome, "but I'm a doln what the
superintendent told mo to do, and you ot
I'm goln to obey orders Stlggcn's Cross
ing." The conductor pulled the bellropo and
the train slowed up.
"Anything wrong witli tho train, con
ducf" asked Uoscomo anxiously.
"Yes. The airbrake's on lire. You ruu
back there about n rod and you'll find a
bucket of water licsldo the track. Hi ' ig It
to me."
As tho train started up agalu tho conduc
tor shouted to Boscome, who was trying to
catch up:
"Next time you get on a train you do
what the conductor tells you to. Quit run
ning after us; you cnu't catch the limited.

Farmer Jan was walking sadly down
the road ono dny when thn vtllngo pastor

"Why so sad. Farmer Jan?" said the
pastor.
"Ah, I have a very sad errand, pastor,"
replied Jan.
"What Is it?"
"Farmer Henri k's cow Is dead In my
pasture, and I am on my way to tell him."
"A bard task, Jan."
"Indeed it is, pastor, but I shall break it
to htm gently."
"How will you do that?"
"I shall tell him first that H is hie
mother who is dead, and then, having
opened tho way for sadder news still, I
shall tell him tt is not his mother, but the

Mr.S , tlin theatrical malinger, though
in other respects a thorough business man,
could neither rend nor write, but kept a

less, this deficiency did not remain con
cealed from the memliers of his troop, and
the manager consequently often found
himself In a serious fix. One day ho was
dining at a hotel, wheu a gold watch was
raffled for. Each of the guests staked two

paper and threw it Into a bat.
Our manager was dreadtuuy perplexed
when bis turn came to sign

he pretended to write, rolled up the blank

HIS EYE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
Btory of tt Viumi Man Who Wat ttmind
to Make n Lawyer.
What Is tho chlof characteristic of a
"born lawyer?" Somo peoplo fancy that it
Is audacity; but audacity has, perhaps,
spoiled a lawyer's success as often as tt has
mado It. Craftiness, another quality often
attributed to lawyers as a class, Is, as likely
to get them Into troublo as It Is to win
them cases, Tho real master quality of a
good lawyer, according to ninny modern
authorities, Is a "genius for details" an
ability to see through a caso to the utter
most particular, ami keep everything In
mind ready for use at the right moment.
Tho following story has probably been
told by more than ono lawyer to Illustrate
this fact,
A lawyer advertised for a clerk, Tho
next morning his olllce was crowded with
applicants, all bright and many suitable
He bade them wait until all should
trrlve, and then ranged them In a row
tnd said he would tell them a story, note
'.heir comments nnd so Judge whom ho
srould choose.
"A certain farmer," liegan tho lawyer,
"was troubled with a red squirrel that got
tti through a holo In his barn nnd stole hli
seed corn. He resolved to kill thn squirrel
at the llr.st opportunity
"Seeing him go In at tho hole one noon
lie tool; his shotgun ami fired away The
first shot set the barn on fire."
"Did the barn burn?" said ono of tho
lioys,
The lawyer, without answer, contlnuod,
"Anil seeing tho hurt) on tire the farmer
seized a pail of water and ran to put it nut."
"Did he put It out?" said another.
"As lie passed Inside, tho door shut to
nnd tho barn was soon in flames. When
tho hired girl rushed out with more wa
ter" "Did they all burn up?" said another
boy,
Tho lawyer went on without atiBWer,
"Then the old Indy camo out, and all was
nolso nnd confusion, and overylwdy was
trying to put out the fire."
"Did any one burn up?" said another.
Tho lawyer sal.l, "There, that will do;
you have all shown great Interest In the
story."
But observing ono little bright oyed fel
low In deep silence, he said, "Now, my lit
tle man, what havo you to say?"
The little fellow blushed, glow uneasy,
and stammered out, "I want to know what
became of tho squirrel; that's what I want
to know."
"You'll do," said tho lawyer; "you are
my man, You have not been switched off
by a confusion and a barn burning, and the
hired girls nud water palls. You have kept
your eyo on tho squirrel." Youth's Com
