BIRD, JONES & KEN YON, 1 Blandina St., Utica, N. Y. 





A lively looking porter stood on the 

 rear platform of a sleeping car in the 

 Pennsylvania station, when a fussy and 

 choleric old man clambered up the steps. 

 He stopped at the door, puffed a moment 

 and then turned to the young man in uni- 

 form. 



"Porter," he said, "I'm going to St. 

 Louis, to the fair. I want to be well taken 

 care of. I pay for it. Do you under- 

 stand?" • 



*'Yes, sir, but " 



"Never mind any 'buts.' You listen to 

 what I say. Keep the train boys away 

 from me. Dust me off whenever I want 

 you to. Give me an extra blanket, and if 

 there is any one in the berth over me, slide 

 him into another. I want you to — — " 



"But, say, boss, I- " 



"Young man, when I'm giving instruc- 

 tions, I prefer to do the talking myself. 

 You do as I say. Here is a 2 dollar bill. 

 I want to get the good of it. Not a word, 

 sir." 



The train was starting. The porter 

 pocketed the bill with a grin and swung 

 himself to the ground. 



"All right, boss!" he shouted. "You can 

 "do the talking if you want to. I'm pow- 

 erfully sorry you wouldn't let me tell you, 

 but "I ain't goin' out on that tram."— Cleve- 

 land Plain Dealer. 



Rural visitor (in dime museum) : Gosh 

 all torment ! 



Living Skeleton: Well, what's the mat- 

 ter with you ? 



"Nothin', that I know of; but you look 

 as if yew'd summer-boarded all yewr 

 life !' "— Life.
