Cruel and Unusual Fun.

A burly man arose in a train that was passing into Kansas from Kansas City, Mo. “Gentlemen,” he proclaimed, “I am in the aisle so that I can search Ahem.” Visions of a jail sentence for having liquor in his possession flashed through the mind of a passenger half way down the car. Convulsively he’’ threw his grip out B of the window, and’ sat back, a nervous and thirsty man.' When he found that the “sheriff” was only a traveling salesman having fun" with evaders of the bone dry law, his nervousness grew upon him and his thirst became a thirst for blood.—Boaton Transcrint.
