THE RAILWAY GUARD SCORED.

Lady Lost Her Pet Poodle by Too JeaL oue Attention. In the railway carriage sat a welldressed young lady tenderly holding a very small poodle. “Madam,” said the guard, “I am very sorry, hut you can’t have your dog in this compartment.” “I shall hold him in my lap all the way,” she replied, “and he will disturb no one.” “That makes no difference,” said the guard; “I couldn’t even allow my own dog here. Dogs must ride in the luggage van. I’ll fasten him all right for you.” “Don’t you touch my dog, sir!” said the young lady. “I will trust him to no one!” And with an indignant air she marched to the luggage van, tied up her dog and returned. About 50 miles farther on, when the guard came along again, she asked him: “Will you tell me if my dog is all right?” “I am very sorry,” said the guard, politely, “but you tied him to a portmanteau, and he was put out with it at the last station.”—London TitUiU.
