Equal to the Emergency.

Miss Middy Morgan, the live-stock reporter of the New York Times, happened to be left in charge of a cottage in a New Jersey village, where she was visiting. To her appeared two villainous-looking tramps. “Well, have you anything for us, old woman?” ashed one of the fellows. “Oh, yes,” was the answer; “just wait and I’ll bring it down.” Miss Morgan went quickly up stairs and in half a minute returned ■with a seven-shooter firmly grasped in her right hand. “This is what I have for you, ” said she. “How do you like it?” The tramps did not wait to answer the question, but got out as fast as their legs could carry them.
