It happened on a Pullman car be- tween New York and Chicago. Dinner having been finished, the gentlemen assembled In the smoking room to en- Joy their cigars. “During the time I was in the war,” sald the quiet man, “I saw a very wonderful thing in the line of surgical | operations. A friend of mine was shot through the. right breast, the bullet passing clear through him. The pres- ence of mind of his companion un- doubtedly saved his life. He wrapped his handkerchlef around the ramrod of his gun and, pushing it through the path made by the bullet, cleared the wound of all poisonous lead. I know it is hard to beileve, but, gentlemen, the man still lives to tell the tale.” “Which man?” Inquired the slim pas- senger on the other seat quietly. _“The wounded one, of course,” ex- claimed the old soldier scornfully. “Oh, I beg your pardon. I thought it might be the other.” Extravagance. I heard a story ‘lately of a high- lander who had been persuaded to buy a ticket for a raffle. He won the first prize, a bicycle, but on Leing told of his good fortune instead of hugging himself with delight he said: “Weel, that’s just ma luck, buying two tickets whan yin wad ’a’ done. It's jist a sax- pence wasted.”—Dundee People’s Jour- nal. Force of Habit. “What are you In such a great hurry for?” “I am going to the funeral of my chief, and there is nothing he hates Mke unpunctuality.” — London Tele- graph. A Curious Cipher Code. Prisoners confined in different parts of jail often use clpher codes in com- municating with one another. In the Kansas City jail some years ago the officials came across a hard one. A fellow named Turner, In for forgery, invented the puzzle. The writing was on long narrow strips of paper, on the edge of which were letters and parts of letters that apparently had no con- nection and from .which no words could be formed. One day a deputy who was passing the cell of a prisoner saw him passing a long strip of paper around an octagon lead pencll. He took the paper away, and on it were the mysterious scrawls that had wor- rled the keepers. But the deputy got an ldea from this, and, going back to the office, he wrapped the strip around an octagon shaped lead pencil and after several trials adjusted it so that the parts of the letters fitted together and made a sentence, though the writ- Ing was very fine. The writer had adopted the simple but ingenlous plan of covering the pencil with paper and had then written along one of the flat sides. On unrolling it the writing was a8 mystical as a cryptogram, but when put around the pencil as it was origi- nally it could be easily understood. Why. There is something almost plaintive In the truly English word “why.” It may be indefinitely prolonged upon the HUps. “Why” is almost poetical in it self and fitly introduces the best hex- ameter in the language: “Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?” Its uses in poetry are almost infinite, and one modern writer makes almost a line of it alone: Why do the night winds sigh, The sea birds wildly cry, The summer clouds pass by, The lilies droop and dle, The light fade from the sky? ‘Why—oh, why? To most of the whys there is not a good because. The inquiring mind is puzzled to account for many things besides its own existence. Hundreds of such questions occur to us at every step, and no satisfactory reply can be expected. Life is too short. Socrates was always saying “Why,” and we have all heard of the man who called Pope the “little crooked thing that asked questions.”—Exchange. Solicitous. An old lady unaccustomed to travel- Ing innocently seated herse!f in a first class carriage, although she only had a third class ticket. The guard, think- ing she had made a mistake, popped his head into the carriage and inquired, “Are you first class, ma’am?" “No, slr, not altogether,” she replied, ut much brighter than I was, thank you.”—London Scraps.
