MADE A BAD BREAK.
WhUt Plead on a Trala Goes Too F
la Trying to Get One Mora
Player.
'1 read somewhere, cot long ago, a
ttorjr of an Impetuous young fellow
who permitted bis bad temper and his
imagination to lead him Into striking
a blind man," said a treasury special
agent who is on the road a good deal,
relates the Washington Star. "The
story went that he was standing at a
street car transfer station with a young
woman, waiting for a car, when he no
ticed a man standing a short dis
tance away staring, or appearing to
stare, pretty hard at the girl. There
was, besides, a sort of half-smile on the
starer's face. The impetuous young
fellow took the starer for a masher,
and he walked over and, without a
word, smashed him In the face. Then
he found out that the man he had hit
was totally blind his attendant had
loft him for a moment to get something
in the corner drug store. I can imagine
how that young chap must, if his in
stincts were right, have bated himself
for that blow how he must, indeed,
have felt like thrusting the fist that
Ft ruck the blow into the furnace, as a
young college fellow that I once knew
did after striking a wrongful blow.
"Rut on a Pennsylvania train, out of
Philadelphia for the west. I saw, a few
weefct ago, an incident of the same gen
eral sort that impressed me as pain
fully as it did everyone else who wit
nessed it. As for the man whose loose
ness of speech caused him to make the
sad mistale, there was really nothing
to do but to feel sorry for him.
"He was a clean, snappy, clipper
built man verging on middle age, and
an hour or so after the train left Phila
delphiait was during the afternoon
he started through the smoking com
partments of the chair cars and sleep
ers to get up a whist quartette.
"There were not many male passen
gers on the train, and of these few not
many appeared to know how to play
whist. Most of them met his invita
tion with a courteous nod, negativing
the proposition on the ground that they
didn't understand the game.
"But when a whist flend makes up his
mind to assemble a party on board a
train he never gives up trying until he
has succeeded or rendered a good many
travelers nervous, and that was the
case with this solid-looking but snappy
Philadelphlan.
; "After herculean eiertions, involv
ing many excited and beseeching tours
through several cars, he finally got hold
of two men who announced their will
ingness to take a hand. Then, of course,
he became more strenuous than ever in
his effort to get the final player.
"He appeared for the fourth succes
sive time in the smoking compartment,
in which I sat, and begged each of us
once again to 'fill up the four.' Most
of the men In the compartment, includ
TOMATOES IN WINTER.
Indigestion.
With its companions, heart burn,
flatulence, torpidity of the liver, con
stipation, palpitation of the heart, poor
blood, headache and other nervous
symptoms, sallow skin, foul tongue, of
fensive breath and a legion of other ail
ments, is at once the most widespread
and destiuctive malady amoncr the
American people. The Heroine treat-
Jng mvrrU didn't know-the."game of m8tttldU.cure all these troubles. 50c
la Pennsylvania They Aro Raised to
Perfection Under Glass and at
Good Profit.
"The tomato season is nearly over,"
said a Washington market dealer, apol
ogizing for the poor quality of his to
matoes, says the New York Times.
"Bui it's just beginning in Philadel
phia," said the customer.
"I always beard they were slow down
there," replied the dealer, resurrecting
the moth-eaten joke.
"Slow in some things," said the for
mer Philadelphlan, "but able to show
New York a thing or two in tomatoes.
Down there only the poor people eat
tomatoes in summer. Then about
Thanksgiving day the greenhouses of
Chester and Delaware counties begin
to produce tomatoes such as you sel
dom see in this market.
"They are fine, smooth, perfectly
ripened, and without any core. They
are raised under glass, with scientific
care of the vines, all the superfluous
leaves being plucked off so as to put
all the strength of the stalk into the
fruit
"Only two vines are allowed to grow
from a single root, and they are sup
ported on trellises. The vines last
about six months, and sometimes reach
a length of 40 or 50 feet and become
as thick as grapevines. Branches are
plucked off, and they are kept bare of
leaves back of the point at which the
fruit is forming. . 1
The earth around the roots is re
newed from time to time, and the vines
are so trained that the fruit is exposed
to the sun. The result is the produc
tion of tomatoes such as you don't
dream of here in New York, and the
supply is kept up until June, when the
outdoor crop begins to come in, and
people who appreciate really fine to
matoes stop eating them.
"Every day from November to June
these tomatoes come in car loads to
the Philadelphia markets, and they are
all disposed of Jhere at moderate
prices. Twenty cents a pound is the
prevailing cost
"inese tomatoes never reach your
New York commission houses, but your
best hotels and restaurants buy them
in Philadelphia and have them sent on
by express.
"Your Long Island and New Jersey
farmers will learn some day that there
is good money in raising tomatoes in
winter under glass."
whist? 'fft w" succeeded in convincing
(he Fiinppr-:ooking man that we were
telling t!r 'ruth about it.
"Th? lrrt man that he tackled for the
fourth sncofssive time was a fine-looking
fellow of 30 or so, whose face had a
look of trouble in it, although he replied
courteously enough to the whist fiend's
Invitations. Each time he Baid, In a low
tone, that he did not feel like taking 3
hand.
"On this last time around the whist
fiend said to him:
" 'You'll make the fourth, I'm sure.
Come ahead. Table's all ready and the
game's waiting.'
' No,' was the reply of the man with
the troubled expression. 'I don't feci
like joining in. 1 should like to oblige,
but,' and his voice broke a trifle at
that, and some of us in the compartment
could see that the man was under a
train. But the whUt field didn't see it.
"'You play, don't you?' he persisted.
" 'Yes, I play,' was the reply, still a
little hoarse and then he turned and
gazed out of the window.
" 'Huh I can't understand a man
knowing how to play whist and not
wanting to play it blamed if J can,' im
patiently mumbled the whist fiend as he
started to go out of the car, and he
muttered something, too, as he reached
the door, that sounded a good deal like
'lobster.'
"The man with the troubled look
turned his head about quickly from th
window, and he had gone a bit pale, a
we could see. He didn't rise from his
seat, but he stretched forth along arm,
grasped the whist fiend by the sloeve ol
his coat, and pulled him into a seat.
" My friend.' he said to the startled
whist fiend and there was a wan and
gray look around his mouth as he spoke
'you should restrain your impatience
and your tongue, I am not a lobster.
There ts no law compelling me to tell
you why I do not elect to join your game
of whist, but I shall tell you, notbocause
you have any right to question or Im
pupn ths motives of a stranger, but be
cause your deficiency in tact will stanl
correction. I am not joining your whist
party because the casket containing the
body of my wife is on the baggage cat
attached to this train.'
"Then the man with the troubled look
gated once more out of the window, nor
did he turn his head again. The expres
sion that appeared in the face of the
whist field was so absolutely pitiful, in
its eloquence of the man's mental self
denunciation, that we couldn't help but
sympathise with him.
" 'A thousand pardons, old man,' h
aid, in a choked tone. 'I've been a cad,'
and he went out with the alertness
gone from his carriage and his shoulder
hunched forward. There was no whist
played on the trala.''
