\ very amusing incident o< curred on a
Fort Wavne railway traiiK Saturday after- i
iH>ttii. Just before one of the accominoda- I
tjoiis pulled out from Fnsk-r.il street sta- |
lion a well-dressed, resiiectable-looking
Individual, slightly the worse for a “taiu,” !
entered one of tlie cars, approaching a
lady who was occupying part ol a seat, aud
kJUil l
-Ma-iam. is thi (hk-) is seat taken?”
Tlie lady very pleasantly answered, -‘No,
sir.”
-Madam, may I si (hie) it down f’
‘•Yes. sir, you may.”
Tlie boozy iiidividual took a seat, and in
* a f,.w moment- tlie trail started. He sat !
seemingly contented and liappy for a few i
moments. All at once be threw Ills around
hi- fellow traveler and kissed her vehe-
mently several times.
Several passengers in tlie crowded ear at
this Ik-came greatly incensed. Tlie fellow
kept up his loving* method of procedure,
aifd tlie lady appeared to be resisting as
be-t -lie could. Finally a number ot the
most determined of the passengers made a
simultaneous bounce for tlie boozy mail.
One individual raised a window and it
looked as if (lie fellow was going to terra
firiiia. when lie suddenly seemed to take in
the -dilation.
-IVhat does yi (hk-) you fellows want?”
T'»e anly answer was a determined effort
to litt tlie sis-nker front bk place. Then
the other occupant of the scat turned aud
took part iu tlie conversation.
•Uiciitleiuen," slie said, -this is my hus-
band.” • •
•i lli-”
Tlie man and tiis wife had entered the
ear Mo- any of tlie other passenger.-, and
lie had gone out for refresh mot its. When
he relumed, feeling very humorous, he ad-,
dressed Ids partner iu such a tone that ;
everybody could hear him, as though site i
was a stranger, and tiiat's what fooled
them. _
Domestic Diplomacy.
There were vigorous inquiries at the post
office recently for tlie chief clerk, and when
tlie captain's fare appeared at the window
the inquirer asked:
-Has a cross-eyed woman been here ask-
ing for letters .iddre-seri to me?”
The captain hadn’t seen her.
-'Veil, she'll lie here this fore noon,
flic’s mv wife, and she's a little weak in
the held. Site's got the notion that 1 get
love-letters from a woman in Canada, and
she ll la- here to ask for my mail.*’
-Uelir
-Well. I don't get any such letters, of
course, hut you mustn't give her my mail.
She might get one w ith a draft in. and not
know its value. Just sav to her that you
never knew of my receiving a letter here,
and that you have repeatedly heard me say
that I bad the best wife iatjiwn.”
-But 1 don't know you.’’
Never mind that, (ii dealing with an in-
sane woman it's liest to lie soft and slick
and smooth. Just shake hands witli Iter,
Urii-c Ik-r small feet, and tell lier she ought
tube proud of such a husb-tnd as I am.”
