He was indul;ing inhis brag when an old man came into the car to see about his trunk, - He saw the bear, of course, but the glance of contempt he bestowed on the animal instantly kindled the in- dignation of the owner, who called out: veu think I'm toting an old hyena around the country!\ »I guess it's a bear,\ slowly replied the other, \but I see nothing remarkable about him.\ You don't eh? Well, I do! Mebbe you'd like to see him hug that trunk of yours? What he can't sliver when he gets his paws around it has got to have roots forty feet under ground.\ \I've got a son back in the car --,\ reflectively observed the old man and then he stopped and looked at the bear, Your son? Egad! Will you match your son agin. my hear!\ chuckled the ow ver as he danced with delight. #I guess so,\ \You do! bring him in! Trot him out! I'll give him all the show he wants and bet five to one on the bear!\ The old man slowly took in a cliew of tobacco, loft the car, and when he re- turned he had his son. Martin. with him. Martin seemed to be about twenty-seven yoars of age. and a aittle taller than a hitching-post. - He was built on the ground, with a back like a writing-desk and arms which seemed to have been sawed from railroad ties. Martin, this 'ere man wants to bet five to one that this bear can out-hug you.\ quietly explained the father as the son sat down on a trunk.\ Yos, that's it-that's just it!\ crackled the owner. - \Tl muzzle him so he can't bite, and I'l bet five to one he'll make you holler in two minutes,\ \Muzzle your bur!\ was all that Mar- tin said as he pulled out a five dollir note ind handed it to the baggageman. | The he had the bear ready. - Martin removed his coat and paper collar, and carelessly inquired: gouging?\ Joss so-jesst\ replied the hear man. bear man put $25 with it, grinning like|nlong?

Martin,\ said the father, as he handed him the thirty dollars, \you'd better go back thar and watch our satehels.\ 'Yes, I guess so,\ repliea the son, as he shoved the bills in his vest pocket, he retired without an another word or look at the bear.

A big newboy was yesterday doubled over a bench at the City Hall Market, too sick to move and too discouraged to care what became of him. Two or three of the motherly market women fixed him up little doses of pepper and when he was a little better one of them said: «Boy, you want to let barvest apples alone,\ \Harvest apples?\ he sneered; \do you think eight or nine harvest apples could double up a big boy like me?\ \I saw you cating cherries,\ put in a second woman. #I know you did; but hain't I used to cherries? Humph! Why, I'm fifty times as big as a quart of cherries.\ \And he bought two cucumbers off my stand an hour ago!\ squeaked a lit- tle black-eyed w oman. ¥es, I did,\ answered the boy; \but they didn't make only a mouthful. T'other night I ate ten all at once, and they didn't hurt me a bit.\ And I saw him eating tomatoes and turnips,\ solemnly remaiked a tall man with green glasses on. *Sposin' you dir,\ wailed the boy, as the colic got a fresh grip; \wasn't toma- ters and turnips made to eat?
