Treatment of Small-Fox.—A. chap who : had perhaps read a newspaper item about how a street car was cleared of passengers in short disorder when a man in the centre of the car announced he had small pox, tried the game on a Gratiot Avenue car. Getting aboard the car on Monroe-avenue, he sat down besidu a big-fisted man and remarked—'"l don't suppose you object riding besido a small-pox patient do you?' " Not in the least," replied the big man ; " but as some of the othor passengers may, I shall heave you out I" Thereupon he took the joker by the collar and leg, carried him to the platform, and shot him far out of the sidewalk. : -- It rains alike on the just and the unjust —and on the just mainly because the unjust hare borrowed their umbrellas.
