Not Reliably Informed.

The gentleman who wore evening clothes and the remnants of a Jag at 9 o’clock in the morning was clinging to the footboard of a crowded surface car in Chicago. As the car rounded a sharp curve with a jerk the person' in incongruous apparel fell quickly and heavily to the cobblestones. He was picked up by the strong hands of the conductor and about 20 passengers. “Collision he asked in a dignified tone of voice. “No,” said the conductor. “Off the track?” further questioned the victim of the accident. "No,” said the conductor. "Well," -concluded he of the Jag, “if L had known that I wouldn’t have got off.” —Popular Magazine.
