A Too Sudden Conversion.

An elderly gentleman of benign

religious tracts in the street cars, and
yesterday at least one case of quickened
conscience was brought to public notice.
A young man entered thecar paid his
nickle, and was handed tract headed,
care you a sinner" He turned pale
at once, read a few lines, and suddenly
called out
''Yes, am! put bad nickle in
the fare-box but now I'll begin new
life by being honest. Here, driver,
change this half dollar and I'll pay my
fare over again!"
The change was given and he paid,
but after riding block or so he left the
car to see a man on the walk. The
passengers thought it wonderful case,
and all were deeply interested, when the
driver suddenly called out
''Hang me, If this 'ere half dollar
