The other day, when - the Illi nois Central train pulled up to the platform at Wapella, says the Chi cago Mail, a stout, rosy-cheeked country girl boarded it and sat down on a turned seat facing a dude in tight pants, and a small, white hat.

Just as the train was pulling in to Bloomington the girl began to cry, and therc were four old men on their feet in a minute, each of whom had made up his mind to thresh the dude within an inch of his life. One of them approach ed the pair and kindly asked the girl: 'Did the snipe insult ye?' 'No, no, no!' she sobbed. 'Then what's the matter?' 'Pe-po-pore feller!' 'Why, what air ye cryin' about, if he hain't insulted-ye?' 'He's in d-da-danger, and I pity the p-po-pore feller,' she sobbed. 'Why? What is his danger?'
