“Fare!”
The passenger gave no heed.
“Fare, please!”
Still was the passenger oblivions.
“By the ejaculatory term ‘fare, » »*
said the conductor, "1 Imply no refer¬
ence to the state of the weather, the
complexion of the admirable blond
you observe in the contiguous nyat, nor
even to the quality of service vouch¬
safed by lids philanthropic corpora¬
tion. I merely allude in a manner per¬
haps lacking in delicacy, but not in
conciseness, to the monetary obligation
set. up by your presence In this car and
suggest that, without contempering
your celerity wlfh eunctation, you
liquidate.”
At this point the passenger emerged
from his trance.—Columbus Dispatch.
Tree Fountain.
An extraordinary cariosity is to be
seen in the Swiss village of Gunten, on
Lake Thun. It takes the f at
ural tree fountain, the water flowing
continuously from a spout high up in
the tree. About twenty years ago the
water from a spring was conducted
through a shaft, and the supply pipe
was directed through the cut trunk of
a young poplar tree which was rammed
in the ground. After a short time the
trunk rooted, branches followed, and
now there is a splendid top growth.
Friendship.
Friendship is a vase which when It
is flawed by heat or violence or acci¬
dent may as well be broken at once.
It never can be trusted after. Tho
more graceful and ornamental It was
the more clearly do avo discern the
hopelessness of restoring It to its
former state. Coarse stones., if they
are fractured, may be cemented again;
precious ones, never.—Landor.
Great Laughers.
The giant laughers have been men—
Shakespeare and Rabelais. I do not
regard Cervantes and Sterne as laugh¬
ers. They are smilers. They are not
jolly roarers and guffawers. They are
not fat, rotund, lean, Ironic jovial smiles. hilarities. A smile They^
are thin,
is a diluted laugh. Sterne is a diluted
