THE other night as the "last car" on
the Michigan avenue route was turning
around on the table at the corner of
Woodward and Jefferson avenues two
young men, who had fixed up a straw
man in good shape, helped him aboard
and seated him at the end farthest from
the driver. The dummy" man had his
hat pulled low, his arms down, and was
80 braced up against the end of the car
that she" looked as much q passenger
as anyone. The car moved off after q
while, and as it turned into Michigan
avenue an old lady got aboard. She
paid her fare, the two young men fol-
lowed suit and the car moved on again,
the driver keeping his eye on the "dum.
my" and wondering if he was going to
try to beat his fare.
At First street the driver jingled his
bell for fare, and the two young men
and the old woman looked over at the
straw man. The car moved up to Third
street, and the driver looked through the
window and yelled "fare," and jingled
the bell again. There being no response
he opened the door and called out to the
straw man:
Say, youl You want to pay your
farel"
There was no answer, and after going
half block he shouted out again:
You, man, there-walk up here and
pay your fare"
One of the young men sat opposite
dummy" and he squeaked out in reply:
Drive on the old hearsep
"Whatl What's that?" shouted the
driver, pushing the door clearopen.
Z" Oh! hire hall" was the reply.

your fare or get OFF, exclaimed the
driver, winding the lines around the
brake.
fight let me off |" shouted the old lady,
clean jump from the door.
"Now, then, are you going to pay
your fare?" said the driver, as he en-
tered the car.
"Pay be hanged" was the muttered
reply t-. II EE
YOU'D better look out for him-he's
ugly" whispered the other young man
to the driver.
"I don't care if he's as ugly es John
Jacob Astor; he's got to pay his fare or
off he goes!"
The driver slid down to the end of the
car, spit on his hands and continued;
"Come, now-out with your fare or
off you golp
There was no reply no movement, and,
splitting on his hands again, he called
out:
"Well, here you comel" and grabbed
dummy" by the shoulders. His object
was to jerk the "fellow" out of doors,
and expecting struggle he put forth all
his strength in mighty effort. 1t was
very successful. The driver went out
of the car heels over head, with the
straw man on top of him, and the young
men leaped off the front end of the car
just as the victim was trying to get his
thumb in the straw mans eye.-Detrott

a scramble for that precious one.
