Train I'aftseiiscrci Taught Happlnc
Without a Private Car.
[ Now York Sun. ]
Just before the 0 o'clock train start
out of the Jersey City depot of the Pen
sylvnniii railroad the other night , a litt
woman , followed by a little man , bu
tied into the car. Both were ve
round and very short , and each wo
enormous spectacles with gold rim
They were well dressed and very mu <
wrapped up in each other. There we
a number of half seats vacant in the en
but no whole seat was vacant. The pi ;
stood near the forward und of the c
and ga/.ed with mellow radiance throuj
their gold-bowed spectacles at the tra
elers. Their faces were German , ai
the expression of each was deep ai
thoughtful. It was evident that tin
preferred to .stand up together rath
than be seated apart.
A long-legged man , who had a se ,
by himself , became impressed by the
unhappy plight after a time , and , risir
hcetionaily m the air , ottered them h
heal and took the vacant half of tl
bench immediately behind them. Bol
of the plump and bespectacled travcle
rewarded him with broad smiles , ar
then the little women bustled into tl
seat and deftly removed her hat , a luu
straw structure , and handed it to lu
companion , lie iixed it in the rac
overhead , and then pulled a smi ;
alpaca cap , such as drummers wear c
trains , out of his pocket and handed it i
her. She drew it down over her brow
hair , and tied a handkerchief aroun
her neck. Then she pulled a line
duster out of her saehel , and wit
the assistance of * her companioi
buttoned it all the way do\v
from th neck. After it had bee
belted MI ugly at the waist she drew on
pair of thread gloves and then stoc
ready to assist her companion , survc ;
ing the car meanwhile with grave ph
cidity. Her solemn expression , the huj
spectacles , the snug wrapper and tl
little jockey cap made a curious coinbii
ation.
The fat little man , after considerabl
difficulty , managed to wriggle out of h
coat and get into a tight little dusti
very much resembling that of his wifi
lie. too , tied a handkerchief around h
neck , and pulled a cap over his hcac
Then he put all the traps and belong
ings into the rack overhead and si
down in the middle of the seat. H ;
wife , who still stood thoughtfully lookin
over the car , fished a white handkei
chief out of the pocket of her ulster , an
folded it into a small square. This sh
laid carefully upon her husband'
shoulder , and patted it daintily with he
gloved hand , She dropped into the seal
wriggled around for a moment , an
then placed her right ear upon th
handkerchief and closed her eyes. He
husband put his arm around her , an
allowed Ins left ear to rest upon th
top of her head. She folded her hand
comfortably , and both of them close
their eyes and fell fast asleep.
The lamps sparkled upon the tw
pairs of huge gold spectacles , and cast ;
soft light over the two solemn faces
When the train arrived at JSew Bruns
wick the little woman raised her heai
suddenly and thumped her companioi
in the ribs , and both of them straight
ened up in their seats. Without a won
she removed the handkerchief from hi
shoulder and placed it on her own am
stretched out her arm. Ho slid dowi
to the further end of the seat , put hi
head on her shoulder as she had on his
while she rested her ear upon the top o
tiis head. Her arm was around him
ind she patted him gently until the ;
sverc both asleep again. At Philadel
pliia they waked up together , smilet
broadly and affectionately behind the !
jold-rimmed goggles , and trotted hap
jilv.-iway.
"Well , gentlemen , " said the long-
eggotl traveler stretching his arms int (
; he air and nodding his head emphat
cally , "that is the way to travel. Nils
ion/Patti , Abbey , and the rest may hav <
: heir private cars , their French cooki
ind their other gimcracks ; but for full
) lown , well-rounded comfort , coimnenc
ne to our German friends. That , " h <
: aid , as ho seized his gripsack anc
itarted toward the door , "is about a ;
icar bliss as you can even get on thi ;
nundanc sphere. "
Drivers \Vlio Pad.
[ Boston Globe. ]
I was sitting on the front seat of ar
pen car the other day , gazing abstract
sdly at the driver , when all at once ]
vas startled by seeing a fat woman whc
at on the scat behind me reaching pas )
ny head to give him a terrible prod it
he side with the point of her umbrella.
\ly \ first impression was that it was going
o be a case of aggravated assault , but
! soon discovered that she only wanted
o stop the car , for she presently got out
ind went on her way as coolly as il
lothing had happened. To my surprise ,
he driver did not even turn around ,
md the only apparent effect of the blow
> n him was a sudden indescribable
loise , .such as is heard when a sudden
: ick forces a little of the wind out of a
botball.
"Excuse me , " said I , "do they often
dt you like that ? ' '
' 'Very frequently , sir. " was the reply.
' 'I should think "it would hurt you. "
The driver took his hand from the
irakc and smoothed down his coat be-
iind.
"Feel there. "
I did so , and encountered a pro tuber-
nee.
"What's thai n asked.
"A pad , sir. "
"What's it for ? ' *
. 'Tor the points of umbrellas and
tines , sir. I always wear one. "
Good I uck and X erse Iiocs.
[ Lewi tou Journal. ]
"Do you take the shoes from a dead
erse ? " we asked. The stable-keeper
> okcl up from the buggy that he was
Cashing , and said , 'interrogatively
t iirst , "What's that ? Take the . ' hoes
after he is dead ?
: om one of your horses
d rather give $100 than take one off.
'on give a , man a decent suit of clothes
lien ho is buried. In the Grand Army
icy" bury a veteran in bis uniform. I
sckon tL at a horse owns tlic shoes he
as treading iu when he died. I
ouldn't pull one off for § 100 , no way. "
