_ ' The Lake: Shore folks were awfully
glad when a certain man died up in Bu£
falo the other day,' said a conductor.
' The .plan's name was Telbot. About,
twelve years ago 'Talbot saved a train
from going into a washout near his farm
and of course the company felt very
grateful. " P. P. Wright, Superintendent
of,the Buffalo division, sent for him and.
loaded hitn with thanks for himself and
the company: Talbot modestly declined
a mo"ljtey presentof $500, but said..lie
didn't, object when Wright proposed
making out for llini a pass good for the
remainder of his life. While Wright
was • writing out the pass Talbot in -
quired : ry
Say, Mr, 'Wright, have yell any ob-
jealous to making that read good for me
and a friend? I may want to take' a
friend• nit Cleland -with. -uta--sone'
time to see an uncle of mine,"
Wright was so full of gratitude that
he couln't object to .anything,, and the
• man got his pass, good for himself and
a friend, and it was afterwards sent on
to` headquarters and countersigned, by
the President and general passenger
agent.
Well, now, what do you. think 1 For
more than ten years that man. Talbot has.
been riding constantly between Beflldo
and Chicago, Buffalo and' Cleveland or
Buffaloand Toledo. Henever waa'alone,
Teealways had "a friend" 'with him.
he friend was usually some commercial
traveller. In sliort, Talbot has made
railroad riding his regular business. He.
made arrangements with various whole-
sale and jobbinc• houses to carry their
men,aed booked his angagenettts months
ahead sometimes.. When thesefailed he.
picked up stray passengershere.: and.
.there. After paying his sleeping can -
and other expenses. he had $6 or $8 a clay
left as clear profit, :and out of these
fits he managed to amass a snug little,
fortune. He tried to use hii•pass on the
limited express, but t1,lecompany
wouldn't have it. In fact, they wanted
to refuse to carry ]lint altogether, but
their lawyer concluded .that the suit for
....damages would be. too'exPensive•. Talbot
is now dead, greatly to the regret of. sev-
eral trvelling men.' ---=Chicago Herald.

Old. Nelson. B ettrage; while working
..in the woods, was bitten by a rattle-
snake,. In much alarm and in great pain
he ran to the house, .A. physician who
happened to be near at band was sum-
moned. "
' Old, man,' said the doctor, 'nothing
but whiskey, and a great deal of it, can
do you, any good.'
' But, doctor,. I am: a temperance man,
I haven't touched a drop uv ticker fur
thirty years.'
'All the better, The whiskey will
have more effect.'
A boy who had been dispatched with
a jug soon returned, and the old man,
much against his will, began to drink
whiskey. He was slow at frit, but af-
ter !t while be 'swiggedi

petite of an old timer; .
' WeII,' said tate doctor,. you•'have bad

' Yes,.I•know it.'
° ' Don't you think thar's a leetle uv

'No, you are all right; and you must

The old fellow sighted, looked at the
jug,. and asked : ' Whut's become uv

' One.of-the boys killed it,' the doctor
replied,. •
' I am 'sorry,' said the -old man,

This isworthy of notice, especially in
connection with the Scott Act now ,in
force, imperfectly though it bas been
enforced over the county. There was
Qne more Committed daring this year
than the year previous. The greatest
number in jail at any one time during
the year wes 17; thelowest number was
6. Last year we carried over the .ensu-
ing year 10, while this year we carried
over 6. The year, as at whole, was a
quiet one in jail, as compared with a
