"Is It a now one?" Inquired tho com mercial Individual In tho tan waist coat. "I told you about tho Irish street-car conductor nnd the yellow dog, didn't I?" "l'ou told me," nnld tho man with the scholarly nlr. "I remember. It wns pretty good. It wns one of my grand father's fnvorlto stories, only ho used to have It tho conductor of a Broadway bus. I wns reminded of tho fable In hero Inst week." "Whnt fnblo?" "Oh, ono of Ade'B, I guess. I came In about noon when tho rush wns pretty well on and Wllllnm showed mo to a tnblo over by tho window. Thero was a stout man sitting thero; a stout man with a red neck and n corrugated brow.

"The stout man frowned nnd began to bent a devil's tattoo on the table cloth with his thick fingers. In about a mlnuto ho bellowed to a pnsslng waiter: 'Here, you I Can't you tuko my order? " 'Not my tnblo, sir,' says tho waiter, and hurried off. "'By gosh!' says tho stout man, In ferocious tones. 'Something's going to happen In this place pretty soon If I nln't fed. I wonder where tho proprie tor Is. Ho must bo n canary bird. I hnto trouble, hut there's trouble brow ing for somebody. I ain't going to Bit hero nil dny and not ml no my voice In protest.

PLANT YIELDS LINEN FIBER, Weed that droiwa tn llrnilt I'roaucea Oooda of Vnrloua ftriulea. a ni.w nlnnt known as "conhamo bra- .m.t.Hi norliil" or "bimlllan linen" nnd named for Ita discoverer, Dr. Vic- n..i no I'erlnl. Is now being devel oped under tho patronage of tho Brazil ian government upon several expert niftntni limitations nnd hns reached a point whero It U predicted that Its In- fluenco must bo felt at once in tuo rao- rlc world of commerce and Industry. Tho plant Is virtually a weed, grow in? from 12 to 18 feet high In four or flvo months and resembles tho hemp. Among tho claims for it aro tuat u It absolutely hardy, resisting the dry and rainy seasons alike; that It Is not i prey to Insects or mildew; that It requires no special attention after planting; thnt It matures so rapidly thnt threo crons a year can bo had up on comparatively wuBte land and at small outlay ; that the mer has all tho qualities for high-class use, and that every portion of tho plant can be used for some Industrial purpose. Tho fiber runs generally Into three grades, tho finest corresponding to the best linen, the second to coarse linen and the third to European hemp. The reslduo of the plant Is composed of high-grade ccllulos, said to be especial ly suitable for the manufacture of fine writing paper, the demand for, which will be steady, as at present all but paratory to letting out n war whoop when our waiter came up. He wns a llttlo squirrel-faced, blondo young man with a deprecating manner. "'Where have you been? demanded the kicker. Taking your vacation? Did you lose your wny and havo to ap ply to the police? Soy, do you know I want something to cat?' "Tho waiter stood at attention and never let an eyelash flicker. "'Bring mo a porterhouse steak, French fried potatoes and n half-liter stein of draught,' said tho stout man, scowling nt him, 'and bring 'cm quick.' "'Yes, sir,' said tho waiter. " 'Well, get a niovo on you,' said tho stout man. 'Tho waiter handed mo the bill. I gave him my order, and he went to the next table. "'Well, If that wouldn't Jar you-' said the stout man. 'He's going to tako half a dozen moro orders, and hero havo I been Walter I' "Our llttlo man finished what he was writing nnd then cnnio back to us. 'Did you cnll me?' ho nsked tho stout mnn. "'Did I call yon? I think I did. Did you understand that I wanted my order got to tho klchcn In a hurry? Now ' "'Seo here snld tho little wnlter. 'whnt you want to do If you want your order Is to keep tlint big mouth of yours rjulct. You don't own this res tnurant -seo?" "'You bring the proprietor to me,' said the stout man. "'Sure thing,' said tho waiter, and brought him. Tho proprietor listened civilly to tho complaint tho blustering person modo nnd then told hl:n that ho would bo obliged If ho would trnns for his custom to somo other restnu rant "As tho stout mnn went out I lieclc oned to tho wnitcr, nnd with nn en gnglng smlln nnd In n soft, pleading undcrtonoj Informed him that I wns In n hurry to keep nn Important np- polntment nnd therefore begged htm ns nn cspcclnl favor to bring mo my Hungnrlnn goulnsh ns speedily ns ho could without Inconveniencing himself.

Joy In a Tramp's 14 fe. I have never emphasized sulllclcntly tho tramp's disgust at having "to do tlmo" In June. From Mh.r till Novem ber Is his natural roving time, his box car vacation; In winter, Jail, even tho workhouse, U often more of a boon than otherwise. The Home Jail conse quently harbored very unwilling guests In the persous of the row tramps lodg ed there. However, even thirty Bum mer days, precious as they are on tho "outside," pass away sooner than one at first expects them to, and thon comes that glorious momeut thuuder, lightulug, not eveu a pouring rain can mar it when the freed ono Is again his own master. Thero may be other experiences In life moro ecstatic than this one, but I would willingly trade them all temporarily for that first gasp In the open air, and that unfettered tread on the ground, which the dis charged prisoner enjoys.
