Witttas Townster of Cleveland is foad of telling an especially thrilling story. * Some time ago," sald Mr. Townsley, I got on a train at Erie, Pa. ts eland. When about half way to Cleveland a woman got on the train with a «mall pet dog, She was refased admittance to the ladies’ coach with nd the brakeman finally suggested that ehe pat the gage car. She indignantly scorned gestion and was finally told that if she wanted to brave the discomfiture that ehe might find in the smoking car she could eit there with the dog. Giving the brakem: an indignant glance, she walked into the smoker. She took ascat just behind a husky-looking commercial traveler, who was smoking a pipe. “After they had gone a little way the woman, half- choked with tobacco ¢moke from the man’s pipe, leaned over and indignantly exclaimed, *Sir, you are no gentleman.” The man took the pipe from his mouth, looked arouad at the woman and, after giving her @ good, long stare, re- marked, ‘Is that eo?* He reasoned that as the smoking car For salo by all Nowsdealers in Great Britain.

C., England, AGENTS. was made to smoke in and as the woman had no burinces there, she could stand his tobacco, After his reasoning he placed the pipe in his mouth again and began to puff great volumes of smoke, The woman became almost epecchicss with rage, She stood it as long as the could and finally her indignation got the better of her discretion. She deliber- ately rose from her seat, reached forward and grabbed the pipe from the man’s lips, Before he could recover from bis astonishment the woman threw the pipe out of the window and coolly rettled back in her seat, and began caressing dogsy. “The traveling man, as soon as he could recover from his amazement, etood np and gazed at the woman long and critically, In all bis life he had never been subjected to such an indiguity. He decided not to stand it and deliber- ately grabbed the dog by the neck and threw it out of the window, The woman creamed a8 the dog went sailing through the window and declared that the man was an abso- late brute. Ina short time the train drew into the depot at Cleveland, The woman, her eyes flashing fire and her face flushed with indignation, burried from the smoker and ran «mack into the arms of a big man who was evidently her husband. ‘The traveling man came along about the same and the woman pointed him oat, ‘That man—that * she almoet shrieked in her rage, pointing toward the raleeman, ‘that man threw my dog oat the win- ye husband glared at the traveler and then started for him. “*Sir,’ he exclaimed, catching the traveler by the arm, ‘did you throw my wife's dog through the window? * “* Sir,’ replied the traveling man, shaking off the irae man's grasp, ‘if that woman is your wife I certainly dit throw her dog through the window,’ At this the busbsad strack the traveler square in the face, ‘Then they be fight and acrowd gathered. Finally the depot police «pa. rated them and the crowd dispersed. The husband, however, had not received eatisfaction and in a few minates he aol the man who had insulted bis wife were fighting again. It looked as if some one would be badly hurt and people were beginning to get anxious, when some one shouted : * Look what's coming.' Everybody looked, and what did they ee? Well, what did they seo?” breathleeely inquired ose of Townsiey’s auditors, “What did they ree?
