So A. II, L.

For some days past, says the Detroit Free
Press, IN unknown female has been in the
habit of making an afternoon trip on the Wood
ward avcnue cars, generally getting aboard at
Jefferson avenue and riding to Brady street,
The first two or three times She paid her fare
promptly enough, but the next trip she wrote
something on card. handed il to Il gentleman,
and he paid her fare i he next trip she waited
till the driver rang the fare-btil, and when she
saw him looking through the door she advanced
and held up card on when was written; 81
am deaf and dumb" The driver didn't want
to create a scene, and she rode rs II deadhead.
Next day She went through the same perform
auce. but Whea she boarded the ear the third
afternoon he was ready for her. He had every
reason TO believe her fraud, as she had been
heard to speak in Il ear coming down. When
she entered The car She took Il seat and began
reading, seeming to have no earthly interest in
the fare question. There are no conductors on
the route, and the driver controls both doors.
Before Brady street was reached the unknown
female was the only passenger. She rose and
rang the bell ut the street, but the driver paid
not the least heed. She rang again. and he
hurried up the horse. Then she tried TO pull
the bell off the ear, but the mao never turned
his head. The woman rushed to the door and
pushed and tugged till she was red in the face,
but not an inch would it bulge. Rushing to
the front door, she pounNed the glass Ill fIlri-
Gus manner, and by and by the driver "aceI-
dcntally' looked around. She gcstured wildly
and as he shook his head in stupid way, she
held up her card, which said; 81 am deaf and
dumb" The driver iumbled around for two
or three minutes and brought out 4 small pla-
card on which was printed: $50 am !" They
were then about half mile above Brady street.
making excellent time, and the woman's indig-
nation was so great that she shook her fist at
| the driver and screamed out "rll have you
| shot for this." lie held mp his card, shook his
head and paid no further attention to her
| bood-curdling threats. At the turn table, Il
mile and half above Brady street, the door
| slid back and the woman jumped into the mud.
| She blessed that man from crown to soul, and
| she blessed all his relatives back to the reyou-
| ton. but he did not seem to hear her. AS he
started off, she called out: ''You are mon
ster, villain. sneak, and thiet!' He gave the
lines a shake, got the card from his pocket.
and she was not too far away to read the am

1t Is all very well to talk Of the equality of the
sexes. We can afford 10 admit that the wom-
an-sufiraglsts were right in charaCtcrizing as
heroic the few women who stood at the polls
and distributed votes on election-day; but un-
til man can be dlspossessed of his sublime and
all-conquerlnS selt-conhdence-et us not say
sell-concet-or untl! woman can be endowed
with 1t, there can be only play at equality.
Woman will really continue IN that same state
| of pupilage in which she now lives and moves
and has her being. | am convinced that mans
superiority may be traced back to this sef-cOn-
hdence. He does because he gives himself only
to the doing, and is not troubled by surmses
that lie may offend or annoy. 1t Is trait by
no means confined to the forward, the unthank-

over the very men who centralize love and re-
spect Nor is it necessarily offensive or obiec-
tonabe. 1t is quite rs likely to be entertaining
and admirable. 1t consists with a perfect mod
esty. 1t detracts nothing from unseltishness
To it is unconsciOusness almost inevitable.
All you may be sure of is that it is simply
there. underlying every thought .nd act how
ever involuntary; a groundwork that mag al
ways be assumed whether or not visible o,the
naked eve-but generally visible!
Look at the ridiculous way in which man
takes for granted that woman will be inter-

Il long story to tell him she Is filled with mis-
giyings lest it may tire him; she leaves out
many little picturesque touches that she may
moi take llp his time, ana, even on the ndTlN-
gallon she has not arrived within call of her
conclusion when he asks with confusing direct
ness HWeIl how did it turn OUT" But the
man has never 4 misgiying that he will hc

than listening to him. He begins his story at
its earliest morning stages and lopes eisurey
to its close or if if is rapid he gives it rapid
transit, but he never omits ANYTHING on his
wite's account He tells what he said and
what the other man said and what the other
man might have said, and what he would have
said had the other man said what he might
have said. And the worst of it iS-the fatal

A PtIllEp PREACHER. A negro was
found dead in Georgia. having fallen and
broken his neck while stealing chickens
from high roost He was class leader
ia a church. and his pastor in preaching
the funeral sermon was bothered by the
question where the soul ol the dead broth
er had gone ''lIis well known piety,n
said the preacher, Indicates that he died
a Christian; yet there are circumstances
connected with his death that are perpleN-
ing. If, after he fell and before he struck
the ground, he repented OF his sins, there
can be no question but that he is now in
glory; but there was mighty little time
Tor him to think about it,"

Birthday Verses.
WRITTEN IN a CnILD's Album.

Twas sung of Old in hut and hall
How once Il king in evil hour
Hung musing DER his castle wall,
And, lost in idle dreams, let fall
Into the sea his ring Of power.
Then, let him sorrow as he might
And pledge his daughter and his throne
To who restored the jewel bright
The broken spell would ne'er unite:
The grim old ocean held his own.
Those awful powers on man that wait,
On man, the beggar or the king,
10 hovel bare or hall of state
A magic ring that masters fate
With each succeeding birthday bring.
Therein are set four Jewels rare;
Pearl winter, summers ruby blaze,
springs emerald, and, than all more fair,
Eall's pensye opal, doomed to bear
A heart Of fire bedrfamed with haze.
TO him the simple spell who know
The spirits OF the ring to sway,
Fresh power with every sunrise hoWs,
And royal pursuivanls are those
That fly his mandates to obey.
But lie that with slackened Will
Dreams OF things past or things TO be,
From him the charm is slipping still
And drops, ere he suspect the i'll,
Into the ineX0rable sea.

Woo a woman bravely If there is any
thing humiliating to u woman it is to have
a lover whom she wishes to honor weak
and vapid, ever yielding, and half afraid
of her. She longs to tell him "to act like
man" The man who conceals or denies
his love for fear Of being laughed at is a
coward. A love that has no element of di-
vnity in it is not love, but passion. which,
of itself, has nothing ennobling. That was
a beautiful inscription on wedding ring,
Each for the other, and both for God"

1t is astonishing what a little thing will

claimed "Hush, darling, I'm coming"

July, 1868, scout with the command, named
Charles Burton, became angered and disgtsted
with some general order. and induced five pri-
vate soldiers to desert the service and follow
him. 1t was his intention, no doubt, to organ
ze a gang Of rough riders and become prai-

first night out and returned to the command.
The fifth, pri fate Henry Reynolds, was ready
for any thing desperate and within q week
the two men had picked up enough StraGgerS,

Of thirty.siN men. By hanging around the

laws succeeded in stealing horses enough to
mount the whole party, and the band was well
provided with arms and ammunition. Thee
was no railroad across the Great Plains at Il at

was to haunt the overland trail and rob f lend

successfully attacked anything weaker than
