CONDUCTOR HAD HAD ENOUGH
Little Controversy With Passenger
Became a Trifle Personal and
He Shut It Off.
“Fare, please!”
“My money is in the box.”
“Nix on that stuff. You went right
by.”
“Bet your life I did. I been waitin’
'two hours for a chance to get inside.”
“Forget it. Pay your fare and cut
out the bull.”
“Get off your foot, I dug up once,”
“Where’d you get on?”
“Water street.”
' '“Yes, you did. What happened at
River street just now?”
“Well, at River street, for one
thing, a woman handed you a quarter
and you bluffed her out of the change;
at Hill street four people got on and
you rang up three fares; at Prairie
street, when you changed that $5 gold
piece ”
At this point the conductor decided
he had enough.
“Move on!” he shouted. “There’s
plenty of room up front. Don’t be
blockin’ the gangway.”—San Francisco
Chronicle.
In Bad With the Boss.
I was relating to my boss and sev
eral other of the office employees my
experience in writing to a young man
whom I had never met, having found
his address on an egg while working
in a grocery store several years ago.
I emphatically exclaimed that as
soon as he informed me he »had red
hair I quit corresponding with him, as
I hate red hair. I had forgotten my
boss had red hair, and you can imag
ine my embarrassment after that ex
clamation, for he was one of the most
interested listeners. —Chicago Tribune.
An Unforeseen Calamity.
“I’m never going to return a lost
article to anyone again,” said a Kan
sas City man the other day.
“Why?” we asked.
“Well, this fellow advertised a re
ward for the return of his dog, and no
questions asked. And then when I
took the dog and went up and rang the
bell his wife answered the door.” —

“It is a far cry.”

PECULIAR “GOOD-LUCK” SIGN
Filled Wash White With Joy, but
There Are People Who Would
Hardly See It That Way.
Carl Emil Junck, the Chicago mil
lionaire importer, said at a sanger
fest:
“Only an incurable optimist like my
Wash White could regard Germany’s
future as promising and hopeful.
“I met Wash the other day with a
big raw gash in his forehead.
“ ‘What does that gash mean,
Washington?’ I asked.
“ ‘What does it mean?’ grinned
Wash. ‘Why, Mr. Junck, it means
good luck, dat’s what it means. I
prayed de Lawd last night to gimme
a good-luck sign and de fust t’ing dis
mawnin’ when I opened de stable do’,
de mule Lazarus up wid his hoof and
fotch me a kick in de face. Dar’s
luck fo’ you, Mr. Junck —a boss shoe
in yo’ face befo’ breakfast. Golly but
I hopes de luck keeps up de same fo’
de rest o’ de year.’ ”
On Thin Ice.
Out West one dark, cold December
evening I lost my way to camp after
hunting in a large forest. As there
was no farmhouse or other shelter
within many miles, I decided to pass
the night in the open.
After looking around a while I se
lected what I thought to be a ravine
running through the underbrush of
t*he woods and started to gather wood
for a fire, which I put around me to
keep warm on all sides and to keep
the coyotes off. As heavy snow was on
the ground I deemed it a snug place,
and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning I awoke to
hear a strange, bubbling sound and
to find myself, to my great aston
ishment, imbedded deeply in the ice
covering a small, lustily flowing creek.

Scores of Women
in homes, stores, offices and factories are not fit to be at work.
They toil on day after day and year after year suffering
with distressing weaknesses and derangements, hoping against
hope that they will soon feel better, but how can they hope
to do good work or escape permanent invalidism?
Such women are in danger of derangement of women s functions. They
owe it to themselves to try that good old fashioned root and herb remedy
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which for more than forty
years has been restoring American Women to health and strength.

“Bosker Time” Is Cheerful.
The term n “bosker time,” which the
Australians use to describe a cheerful
leave, comes home to its birthplace,
little altered. “Bosky,” with a similar
meaning. Mas an English colloquialism
in the eighteenth century. And “bos
ky” is still current slang Mith us, but
implying too generous use of the wine
cup. There is one phrase in the book
of slang which is decidedly pleasing,
“Australian grip.” It stands for that
best of greetings, the honest, hearty
hand shake. —London Chronicle.
