Write tkra. The Man Who Showed Off. At Faro \ve got news of an acci dent on the line beyond , and the train had to wait there two hours. Everybody got out to stroll around , and there were a good man } ' people at the depot to look the passengers over. Among these we bed our at tention attracted to a big man who had on a buffalo overcoat , a wolfskin cap , and from the collnr of the coat dangled seven or eight claws which liad"once assisted grizzly bears to scratch their way through life. He had long hair , a wild eye , buckskin legerins , and was evidently a mighty nimrod , if not a western terror. He was walking up and down the platform to show himself off , when an undersized , insignificant-looking passenger on our train , who hnd been dubbed "Godfrey's Cordial" ever since we left Chicago , approach ed him and said : "Mistuh man , ith that overcoat for thale ? " "No , sir ! " was the thunderous re sponse , as the wearer of it turned on the questioner. "Oh ! excuthe me. I thee yur have theme claws there. Did they belong to a cat ? " "Cat ! Cat ! Did you ever see a cat with such claws ? " "No , thir ; and that's the reason 1 asked you. Ith that cap made ol lambskin ? " "Lambskin ! What are you driv ing at ? " "My deah sir , I nevah drive , Its against my principles. I am thimply theeking solid facts. Why don't yon have your haircut and put on theme woolen pantaloons ? I should think you would catch cold. " "Look here ! " growled the big man as he came to a halt. "I want you to go away ! " "Do I make you tired" "You do. " _ IIT jl J-l Iff "Now , you clear out , or I'll get mad. " . "Keal mad ? " . x ' ' \ You hear me ! " " ' "I should so like to buy one ol , thpse claws. I will give you two shillings for" "If you don't clear out I'll slice an ear off ! " "Would you really slice my ear off ? " innocently asked Cordfal , "I would and I will ! " "Which ear ? " , ' "Both of'em , you infernal fool ! " "Thay"said Cordial , after looking him over , "I don't like .the way you talk. I think you ought to apolo gize. "Apologize ! Why you grasahop- per , I've a good mind to hold you up bv the hair ! " ' "Don'th you try it ! " < " ' "But I will ! " ' ' And he did , but he had scarcely reached out when Cordial was all chain lightning and fish hones and pounded glass. He jumped in with his left on the big man's nose , took him on the nose with hfs right as he fell , and the buffalo overcoat had no sooner hit the platform than the lit tle man was swarming all over it , with both his fists working like pis ton rods. In one minute the big man was licked , and then he was led off one way while we took Cordial the other. I don't know what old bear's claws had to say , but as we got the little fellow into the coach he re tied the bow at his collar , dusted his shoes .with his hankerchief , and explained : "Wath I to blame ? When I thaw those claws wasn't it natural that I should wonder where the cat wath ? And I"never thaw a wolf nor a buf- tale in mv whole life. " ! sY. . Sun. An Honest Conductor , In the olden days , when railroad Companies used to believe their con. 'ductors honest , says the New York Sun , an official , whose run was from Buffalo east , was called into the ( president's room at the end of one ol , his trips , and the big man kindly Jsaid to him : = "John , the receipts on your runs have been growing beautifully less ! for some time past. " "Yes , sir , but travel is very light , you know. " "Is it ? I haven't heard of that. John , you have lately built a nice house ? " f V > J "You have a diamond pin ? " "Yes. " "Keep a horse and buggy ? " "Yes.- "And your salary is only $60 pe ; month , J'ohn ? " "Yes , sir. " : 'l don't thinkyou would steal from the company ? ' ' "Oh , no ! no ! no ! sul" "But I've a proposition to make. Suppose you give the road your re- peipts , and you take everything else coming in ! If you don't I don't see how we are going to payrunniug ex- pences over a month longer ! " Australian View of Parliament. Pall Mall Gazette. Here is a view of the House of Commons as it strikes the correspond- jent of one of the Australian papers : f'lii is an idle , gossiping , demoraliz ing , whisky and soda compelling at mosphere , which is repellent of men of affairs. The other day I was sit ting next to one of the most eminent- solicitors in England and as we rose to go he exclaimed. 'Three days of this place would send me into a straight waistcoat. ' Until then he had nursed Parliamentary ambi tions. " This correspondent must really take care , or he , too , will fig ure at the "bar" of the House for 8 purpose other than "whiskey and soda. " Southern Ways. From the 1'ittslnirg Dispatch. In aonie parts of the Southwest , re gardless of the great growth of towns and the building of school-houses , it la still almost impossible to get a direct answer to a question. One evening about dusk a man rode up to a fence surround ing a lot neap the roadside , and thus addressed a woman who was attempting to persuaue a few drops of milk from a muley cow : "Madam , I am lost. " ' Wall , that's what the prencher says is the matter with the most of us , an' I reckon the best thing to do is to get 'ligion an' then do the best we kin under the sarcumstances , " she replied , giving the cow an awful jerk. "I mean that I have missed the road to Dabney's Ferry , " "Wall. 1 shouldn't wonder , fur it is a mighty matter fur some folks to foller these roads here , they air so crooked. You air travelin' , I reck on. " "Yes. 1 wanted to go to Dabney's Ferry. " Got kin folks livin' down thar , I reckon. " "No ; I have no relatives living in ihis part of the country. Will this road lead me to the Ferry ? " "Wall , you'll hatter ax pap about that. He tromps roun' all over the neighborhood while I'm doin' the work , an' he oughter know wlmr all the roads go to. " "Where is he ? " "Who , pap ? " i "Yes. " "Wall , the Lawd only knows. But I reckon ther yaller dog tttke you whar he is. " "Where is the yellow dog ? " "I don't know that nu ther. Y-ju'll U4.i _ _ i.v uiiu ui LIIU umiiun. Where are the children ? " "The Lawd in heaven only k ' stranger , for 1 don't. Jis't 'ait awhile an' mebbe one of'em will uol- ler , lur it is about time fur one of 'em to git snake bit. " " 1 haven't time to wait. " "Wall , then , 1 reckon you'll have to jog along the best way you kin. " "I wish you would give me some information. " "Yas , I reckon so , fur I have heard tell that information is a mighty fine thing when a pusson is pushed right hard fur it. " "Where does that read over there lead to ? " "Right to Dabney's Ferry. " "Why , that's the road I want. Why didn't you tell me ? " "Wall , you didn't ax me about that road. You kep talkin' about suthin' else. Wall , good day. Ef you travel round here much you'll learn to ax fur what you want with out beatin' about the bush. " A Game Hen. A game hen died on R. W. Gam ble's place at Cuthbert , Ga. , a few days ago. This hen had reached the age ol 14- years , lacking only a few .weeks. She continued to lay eggs until a year before she died. For several months she had been totally blind , but was"fed and watered regu larly by Miss Mary Gamble. In 1S8G , when Mr. Gamble moved to Macon , this hen was carried there , and brought back when he returned to Cuthbert. In the spring of 182 , when the cyclone struck Mr. Gam ble's place and tore things up , this old lien was setting in a box on the kitchen hearth. The kitchen was blown away , the chimney was miss ing , but the hearth remained , and there sat the old hen in her box , as though nothing had happened. The Judge and the Sport. Mr. Justice Hawkins was once tak en to be a member of the P. R. Ho was waiting to take his ticket at a railway station in Paris , at which there were a number of English roughs returning from the races , one of whom was very rude to him. The judge remonstrated , whereupon the man became more insulting , and said that if he would come outside he would give him "what for. " Sir Henry , who wears his hair cut very short , then took oft his hat , thinking that as the men were probably of the criminal classes they would re cognize him , and quietly remarked : "Perhaps vou do not know who I am ? " Did the man in awestricken tones exclaim. " 'Awkins , by thunder ? " No. What ht said was : "S'lep mo bob , a bloomhV prize fighter ! Not me ! " And the judge was not further molested. Beat the Bell Punch. From the Chicago Tribune. A" Kansas City street-car conduc tor has found an ensy way to beat the bell punch. He goes off to some secluded spot at niglrt , notes the number indicated by the register , pulls the-machine till it has counted offthe entire 10,000 and begin at one again , after which he rings till the register indicates 100 less than when he began and stops. He ia then in a position to ring fares hon estly all next day and be ยง 5 ahead of the company at night. The only way now to beat the honest street car conductor is to make tbe count ing capacity of the register 100,000 , or handcuff him to some other hon est man hired to watch him day and night.
