the railroad employee started after his last
passengers fare.
The conductor was In O communicative
mood. 1t was his first trip after dinner. He
looked like man who had enjoyed his mid
day meal, and seemed to get considerable
satisfaction out OF wooden toothpick which
protruded from one corner of his mouth.
''Of all the positions in life" he continued,
after he had deIterously tossed the nickel
into the bullying side pocket OF his coat, "a

He was assured that his appearance indi-

pounds-that with good care he might live
for few days, and he seemed to feel better.
Just then feminine shrek was heard from
the rear, and simultaneously grasping the
bellrope and turning his head, the conductor
encountered other enemies TO his peace Of
mind. The car had passed Adelphi street
AID gone a considerable distance and two
ladies who had evidently just turned the cor
ner vera signaling the vehicle to stop. The
car was brought to a standstil and the la
dies walked leisurely toward it.
"A little faster, ladies' if you please. Come
now, ladies, little bit faster" the custodian
of the car shouted, without causing any
noticeable increase in the pace of his would
be passengers.
MY dear women, won't you please hasten

The car had been reached by this time, but
the women had not hurried in the least
They were gently assisted to the platform
and took their seats without uttering word
After their clothing had been smoothed out
and they had settled back in their seats. one
of the new corners turning to her companion
remarked in a voice sufficiently distinct to
be heard on the rear platform:
What horrid bears these car conductors

Why, if you'd let them they'd hurry the life

An Expert Banjoist.

Miss Marie Louise Paine, the expert banjo
list, has returned from Europe. Miss Paine
is young and wealthy New Yorker, who
has Travelled extensively in Europe during
the summer on a self imposed mission of
of making the banjo popular in the old coun-
try. Miss Paine has not appeared in public,
but has picked her banjo in the homes of
some very aristocratic people in London,
Paris, Vienna and Rome Her greatest tri-
umphs have been in Switzerland and in Ven
ice, where the entire population followed her
gondola on the Grand canal Miss Paine is
the only daughter of the well known Dr. o.

TMelrn Great Women.

In attempting to select the twelve greatest
women Of the world no comparison with the
opposite sex is necessary. A really great
woman must not only have largely benefited
the life or Influenced the thought Of her own
country, but she must have left some perma-
nent memorial or trace Of her work for tho
judgment of poeterity. Thus no actress,
however great. even a Mrs. Siddons or q
Rachel, could be included among the great
est women, as her art dies with her. From
that point Of view l venture to draw up the
following list as fairly representative VI fem
mime greatness in all ages:
woMKH OF ACTION. WOMEN OF THOUGHT
Seuliramis. Sappho.
Queen Esther Nine Roland.
Maria Theresa. Mms de StaeL
Catherine Ii Of Russia George Sand
Isabella Of CASTLE. George Eliot
Joan Of Arc. Margaret Fuller
1t will be seen that the list divides itself
naturally into two parts, the one represent
ing the courageous, energetic, ruling type of
woman, the second, the intellectual, thought
full type. The three modern queens, If not
overwhelmed with scrupulousness, possessed,
par excellence, the gift Of ruling and were
pre-eminently successful in carrying out their
plans and in molding the history Of their
subjects
Semiramis. no doubt, Is a person whom the
average individual does not realize very in
tensely, but the mere fact that out of the
haze Of Assyrian history her name should
have lived for four thousand years gives her
a very unique place among the women rulers
of the world. But why Queen Esther, from
among all the women in the BibleI it may
be asked. Queen Esther saved the Jews from
massacre, as certainly as Joan of Arc saved
France from the English. From the debasing
atmosphere of royal harem she steps forth
with the heroic words: And if | perish, |
perish" and triumphs gloriously over her
enemies. Moreover, unlike most of the Bible
Stories there is no element OF the super
natural in this case; we have the plain,
simple fact of beautiful woman employing
her beauty not for personal aggrandizement,
but for the benefit of her countrymen, and
voluntarily riskIng her life in order to save
theirs. Not even a man could do more.
Probably no one will seriously controvert
the statement that Sappho was the greatest
poeteSs of antiquity, although some Philistine
scoffers are said to affirm that she can only
lay claim to the authorship of some five lines
of extant verse, and that these are apOcryphaL
And then we come at a bound to II. Comics

The dear things don't seem to take into
consideration the fact that all the arts of
modiSte, corset manufacturer or cosmetics are
OF small avail to make them attractive so
long as they do not take heed to their steps,"
We can readily excuse a woman from
whom the suppleness Of youth has fed, or
who is crippled, or one who tips the scales at
tenth Of ton or over, if she doesn't sail
along like bit Of thistle down, but when a
young girl, 1.-the and slender, whose anatomy
is strictly orthodox, comes toward you with a
movement suggestive of the days when the
"grasshopper becomes a burden" there is an
Involuntary wonderment as to what can be
the matter with her.
1t seems as if the majority of women have
only one idea, and that is to get over the
ground, no matter how. One is reminded of
the advice the lemonade boys give on the
Fourth of July, walk up. roll up tumble
up, any way to get up"
Take your stand upon Broadway corner
some pleasant afternoon and you will be con-
WINGED that this is true About one woman in
a hundred knows how to walk The most of
them have the lazy, dangerous, Indifferent,
"quick or the dead" mostly dead fashion of
getting on, but occasionally you see one who
comes spanking along like a corporal in the
militia; shoulders painfully squared, chin in
the air, arms swinging, and she imagines
she's got the genuine British gait, you know.
Another appears who has evidently been
reading about Mrs, Langtry's walk and is
trying to copy it. She attempts to lift her
hips without moving her shoulders, and the
effect is not altogether pleasing when viewed
from the rear, as she invariably forgets that
the Lily wears neither corset nor hustle.
Then there are a lot Of women who walk
just exactly like hens, keeping time to every
step with backward motion of the head.
