IN THE NEXT CAGE.

How a Shorter for a Side Show Amused Biu«lf in the Postoffice. Id a hilarious mood a tall man with a theatrical makeup entered the postoffice. 'It was early morning and the corridors were almost deserted. As he slowly passed through the building on the ground floor he gave evidence that he was or had been ashouter for the side show of a circus.

There was mischief in his eye as he glanced toward a window behind which a clerk sat. "In this cage," he exclaimed in deep, sonorous tones, as if addressing an audieuce of curious and expectant people, "you will find that melancholy beast the laughing hyena. This auimal roams about the prairies in the night, and there he laughs and laughs and laughs, but what •on earth lie is laughing at nobody has been able to find out. "Pass along, pass along, but do not press against the ropes. You have ample time to view all the curiosities before the great show begins."

Scores of clerks, attracted by the unusual noise, hurried to the little windows and poked out their heads. This pleased the tail man immensely and he laughed immoderately. "In the next cage," resumed the orator as he proceeded on hif. way, "is the far famed Rocky Mountain goat, which leaps from peak to peak and skips from crag to crag, ever and anon uttering that plaiutive cry, 'Baa.' bua!'"

Then another head was thrust out of an opening, ami the tall man, with a sweeping wave of the hand said, "Thank you, sir that will do." "In the next cage," continued the mirthful man, "you will perceive the gigantic mcodildo, who, when he eats, eats seventeen different kinds of food, always concluding his repast by devouring a bale of hay., "Thank you, thank you, sir you are behaving nicely, nicely. "Pass along, pass along, ladies &ud gents but bear in mind and remember you have ample, ample time to see all the curiosities before the show in the great pavilion opens."

Gradually the tall humorist made his way around the/corridors, his voice losing none of its volume or strength. Meanwhile the commotion in the postoffice department was increasing. Kvery window was occupied by on4- more clerks, with bulging »jyes anil necks craned to catch a glimpse af the daring, practical joker. IOverybudy had a chancc to sec hhii, for he did notdeny himself to anybody. This is what one group heard as ho came into view: "In the next cage are the mighty boa constrictors, whoso bite is worse than death and whose strength is crushing. In the smaller cages on the right are other rars reptiles brought from remote tropical regions, where one day they lived and flourished. Twice a year theso snakes shed their skins. They feed upon birds, frogs and guinea pigs."

By hat time the loungers in I he building were enjoying the sport highly, but how the clerks felt is uot kuown.

As the stranger ncared the lust door at the upper end of the Broadway side he turned toward another "cage" and exclaimed: "In the uext j/ige you will see Old Tom feeding the Polar boar his daily meal of ibroken ice. This ice is expressly imported by us from the arctic regions at enormous •expensoand"

At that moment tho watchman mado his pmwmce known, and the joker was forced to cease joking but as he went out of the door he 11 red this shot, which was evidently intended to hit the watchman: "Little .Jocko will now ascend the ladder, turning a complete somersault at each and every round."

Then the swinging doors closed behind him and he was lost to view,—-Now York Heral-l.

What to Do.

"B ys," excitedly oxelair.ied the managing et'itor, rushing into the local rflbm of a Chicago morning paper lato one night in 1888, here's he chance of your life to distinguish yourselves—forty men and women burnt to death in an asylum lire in Want two of you to go there on a special train and cover tho thing as completely as possible until wo get a relief down to you."

The only men on duty at that, hour were a couple of recent, arrivals from "Lunnou." They were whirled down to tho train and put on a special car. Away went the train through the uight to tho scene of the disaster. "I say, Oholley," No. 1 broke out after a short interval of silence, "did yon hear him say he expected us to distinguish ourselves? Wonder what ho intends to do by us when wo get back "I heard one of tho hoys, don't ye know, saying that the health of the editor wasn't good, They may want asueeessor to him."

While they pursued this interesting topic the train pursued its course, and two hours later the young Englishmen, after much consultation, started toward Chicago a telegram reading like this: "Dear Mr. Kiiitor: We are here. What shall we do'

Tho answer came back shortly. "Find out where the flro is hottest and jump in." —Milwaukee Sentinel.

The Opportunity 8elit«d.

The bashful young man was looking at a painting representing an arctic landscape. "Isn't it st range, Miss Ida," he said, "that they harness the reindeer?" "No," she answered dreamily. "People can harness the lightning, dear. This is so sudden, so unexpected, Horace. I well, ask papa." Chicago Tribune.

A St. Looli Charity.

A meek eyed, mild spoken man dropped around to the hotel in St. Louis one evening last fall, and as fast as he came to any one whom he had sized up as "safe" he said: "It is a case of charity—a noble charity— but we are opposed to anything like a sub-' scription. The widow wouldn't have it that way, you know. We have therefore arranged for a ten round 'go' between the Missouri Terror and the St. Louis Chain Lightning. Comes off at 10 o'clock—admission $1. It's for blood, and the money goes to the widow of the best dog handler in the United States."

It seemed a sort of duty to go around with the crowd and pay the admission fee. The affair was to come off in a barn, and when the principals entered the ring there were sixty-two of us dollar men present. They shook hands, "put up" in good shape, and the knowing ones predicted a hot time. At the first nunch the Terror made, however, the other fell down, seemingly unconscious, and after working over him for five minutes the meek eyed man stood up and said: "Gents, I are sorry to Inform you that Chain Lightning is a dead man. He has evidently died of heart failure, and under the adverse circumstances the fight cannot go on. I'll have to send for the police."

Of course everybody made a hustle to get away, only too anxious to escape arrest and detention, and the barn was emptied in thirty seconds. Next day, as I was going down the river on a steamboat, I heard two men in the stateroom next to mine disputing. "Well, make it an even divide," said one. "Of course it's even," replied the other. "Bill worked in the crowd, you played dead on 'em, and I had the rig there to get us off. Purty slick game, but you died too soon. You ought to have waited until I got in one on you."—New York Sun.

He Knew.

A little Capitol hill girl had been to a museum of magic in New York, and was telling her mother about a wonderful half a woman she saw there. "She was swinging in a swing, and moving her hands and opening and shutting her eyes and bowing and smiling, and there was only half of her," said the child miraculously. "And did she talk?" asked the mother. "Of course," interrupted the father from behind his newspaper "she wouldn't be half a woman if she didn't."—Washington Star.

Not in IhM Business.

I was talking with the sheriff in a county seat town in Indiana one day last summer when we saw a ragged and wayworn tramp heading for us across the street. ^$ "Hang the fellowl" growled the sheriff, "He's going to strike me for a quarter,

and if he does Fll bounce him out of town!" The tramp came up, passed the time of day, asked which was the sheriff, and turned to him with: "I am disgusted and discouraged, and want" "Oh, your, sort are always broken up and always wanting," interrupted the official. "I wanted to say that I have dodged around until I am tired of it, and shall feel relieved to"—— "Yes, you look like a dodgerl Dodging from one house to another after cold victuals! We don't want you in this town, and the sooner you take the road out of it the better it will be for yonl" "I want to give myself up," protested the tramp. "Oh, you do! Want thirty days in jail to rest up and get fat in! Well, we are not doing that sort of business in this county. Til give you just five minutes to find the dirt road leading to Indianapolis!"

The man walked away without another word, his countenance wearing a puzzled expression, and in two minutes he was out of sight. I met the sheriff in Chicago a week later, and he at once turned and faced away and said: "Kick me with about 40,000 horse power!" "What ails you?" I asked. "Remember the tramp who struck us that day in ,, "Yes." "Well, the fellow wanted to give himself up, and I wouldn't let him." "I remember." "And he turns out to be a Missouri robber with a reward of $500 on his head, and these Chicago police nabbed him three days ago!"—New York Sun.
