One night this spring, on a train com

deeping car aroused half a dozen of the
male sleepers to ask il they had anything
with them to cure a case of the colic. A
drummer for a city hardware house
fumbled around in his coat and finally
laid:
"Here’s a box of soda mints which may
uelp him. He can use the whole box and
be hanged to him. for he’s no business to
nave the colic!"
Nothing further was heard at the ease
until morning, when a strapping young
man, with a far west look to hia hair,
came into the sleeper with the mint box
in his hand, and inquired for the drum

"Took ’em all but one, and they
smashed my colic right in the eye. How
ranch to pay?"
"Nothing, air. I'm only too glad to
have been of service to you."
When the other had gone the drum
mer opened the box and we saw his hair
trying to climb up.
"Great Scott, boys! bat what do yon
