A Big Party.

A story is told of a gentleman prominently connected with one of the big foundries in Pittsburg, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The gentleman in question is an unusually large man, very tall and far around. Finding himself caught in a little town about sev-enty-five miles from Pittsburg one night, with no train going to the city, and. being very anxious to roach there at 11 o’clock, he wired tp an express train down the track to stop for him. "We stop for officials only,” came the answer. Quick as a flash went the seoond telegram. “Will you stop for a large party?" “Yes,” was the reply, and the long express slowed up and stopped when it reached the little town and the gentleman complacently stopped aboard. “Where is the large party?” inquired the conductor, with wide-open, astonished eyes, as he gazed about the empty depot. “Ain’t I largo enough?" chuckled the dollghtod new passwgor. The conductor glared, then hurst Into a hearty laugh as the fitness of the application burst upon him.
