He Found Out.

Accustomed as New Yorkers are to paying big sums of money for the grati. fication of curiosity the more prudent passengers in a Broadway car disapproved of the reckless squandering of a quarter by one of their number, says the Sun of that city. For several blocks ahead the cars were Btalled. Nobody knew the cause of the blockade. That seemed to worry the impatient man more than the holdup, i “I can stand ’most anything,” h« said, “if I only know why I h%ve to stand It.” Presently a messenger boy presued his face against the outsidF of Ihe window and made faces at the crowd within. The impatient man lowered another window and collared the bey, “Son,” be said, “if you will runrun, mind you—up to the hedd of live blockade and see what is the matter. I wiH give you a quarter.” Like a shot the boy was off. Apparently he made the round trip at record speed, for he was back in a very short time; y“Coal wagon broke down on the tracks,” he said.
