A party of young women employes of tin bureau of engraving and printing hac missed tbelr car, and, having no time t< wait for another, had plodded along lltl street until they came to Pennsylvania ave nue, when they saw a wagon going south It was a fish wagon, and the driver was ai old colored man. One of the young women called to th< old man to know if he was going any' where near the bureau, and he stoppec his team to answer that he was going righ by. "Would you take us over for thirt) cents 7" "I'll be glad to take you ladies over foi nothin', miss, if you all don't mind the flsh." Mind the flsh! It was so much extra fun. So they scrambled in and made th< trip on time. A flsh wagon is not a usual feature ol the bureau entrance, and when it stopped before the steps there were other clerks tc watch the young1 women set out. One young man, healthy enough to enjoy any sort of teasing nonsense In such glorious weather, called out to them: "Look ai the flah!" "They are opt flsh," chuckled his companion; "they are game."

"This lady ha , had a bad fall " "Oh, come on!" interrupted the victim "I can stand a fall or two. I'm nj Eve." That closed the incident.
