IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

A WRITER in the Philadelphia Press tells a funny story of an old lady who was recently riding on a railway in the vicinity of the City of Brotherly Love. The train had reached the Bryn-Mawr station, and the brakeman poked his head through the door and cried out, "Bryn-Mawr! Bryn-Mawr!"
"What's that he said?" asked the old lady of the person sitting next to her.
"Bryn-Mawr," replied the other. "This is Bryn-Mawr."
The old lady chuckled, and then she said: "I'm from Pennsylvania myself, but I do think you have the funniest sounding names down in the suburbs of Philadelphia that I ever heard. Bryn-Mawr, hee, hee, hee!"
"And where may your home be?" queried the neighbor, his curiosity aroused by the old lady's amusement.
"Oh, I live at Tiddyoot!" said the old lady gravely.—Boston Traveler.
