The smoking ear is a novelty on the
South Side lines. and it looks as though
it would always br. a novelty to the fair
sex. The poor conductor may warn them
when they get on that it is a smoking
car, hut they never seem to heed him.
Then. when they sit down in the cloud
of smoke in Idle, they begin TO kick vigor-
ously. The other day II nicely dressed
lady persisted in boarding a smoker
on State street, in spite of the conductors
explanation. Three mel were putting
away at more or less questionable cigars,
Willie a fourth man had Il stalwart pipe
which was loadcd to the rim with that
powerful brand Of alleged tobacco known

the lady entered this asphyxiating at
mosphere size turned to the door and pro-
ceeded to berate the poor conductor for
permitting smoking in his car. In vain
he tried to explain that the company's
rules permitted smoking in certain curs.
She kept up her TRADE until every man
in the car who had n cigar, cigarette oil
pipe lit it for the purpose of giving heI
the full benefit of the new rule. As she
sank into her eat thoroughly exhausted,
two tlashily dressed women stepped on
the car. This is a smoking car, ladies'
said the desperate conductor. "All right,
that's just what we want" said one OF
the females; and they took seats and ig.
nited cigarettes. AT this the objecting
lady signaled the conductor and sailed
out of the car in high dudgeon. She
walked down town.-Chicago Herald.

Amused at the conversation, the lady

Years passed away. and last December,
when doing her Christmas shopping, this
same lady received exceptional courtesy
from a clerk in Boston, which caused her
to remark to a lady who was with her:
What a great comfort to be civilly
treated once in a while, though | don't
know that | blame the store clerks for
being rude during the holidays"
The young mans quick ear caught the
words, and he said:
Pardon ne. madame, but you gave
ne my first lesson in politeness a few
years ago"
The lady looked at him in Amusement

In a recent article in the Youths Com
panion, on How to Cure a Cold" a
writer advises a hot lemonade to be taken
at bed time. 1t is a dangerous treatment
as it opens the pores of the skin and
leaves the system in such condition that
another and more severe cold is certain
to be contracted. Many years constant
use and the experience of thousands of
persons has fully demonstrated that there
is nothing better for a severe cold than

Trotters on the Market.

Others are for Sale.
The Wyoming Turfman's Move a
Big Surprise to All.

Considerable of a sensation has been
created by the announcement that a. @.
eckwith. of the lUnita stock farm
near Evanston, had offered for sale
the best horses in his string of famous
trotters. He offers the animals by adver-
tisement in turf papers. They are:
Wanita, by Aberdeen Wyoming Belle.
by loves pilot. She is a roar 4-year-
old with a record of 2:20f, behaves
splendidly always and has magnificent ac-
ton and great endurance. In 3 year-old
form she did her mile in a race in 2:24f
without being pushed. At this age she
started six times and won five, getting
second money once. She trotted second
in fast company when a two year old.
Wanita was driven an exhibition mile on
the Cheyenne track during the fall meet
ing of 1888 and her performance created
a great furore.
Faust is the sensational Young gelding
whose defeat of Prodigal. full brother to
Patron, on the Montana circuit last spring
when he made a mark of 2:l8f. startled
the trotting world. He is 3 years-old and
a perfect beauty wi thout a visible flaw.
Faust is by Florida Clara by Bayard, he
by Pilot. Jr. He faced the started five
times this year and was beaten but once,

Ned Wilkes is the third animal listed.
He is four years old and a magnificent
representative of his noble family. Ned's
sire is Baron Wilkes, 2:ls. dam, Stanette
BY Steinway.
Satinwood, another Wilkes, is the last
named. He is a stunning dark bay three
year old by Nutwood-Flora Wilkes by
George Wilkes, he by Seeley's American
Star.
In concluding his announcement Mr..
Beckwith says:
Il have several others hat can go fast,
some with records and some without; all
of them acclimated, and nearly all of them
own breeding. All or any of them
are for sale at reasonable prices"
Mr.. Beckwith's apparent sudden deter
mination to dispose OF all his speed ami
mails is a mystery to his Cheyenne ac-
q~uaintances, who are unable to offer any
explanation in the premises. He has
made money with his flyers right along
and no man in the whole country has a
better string or brighter prospects. Every
citizen in the territory would regret to
see the animals leave Wyoming. 1t may
be that Mr.. Beckwith is piqued over the
unfavUrablc result of his tilt with the
Denver Overland Park club and the
American Association. At any rate it is
hoped that the trotters will not leave
Wyoming.

Der OF racers at the Cheyenne stables on

Mr.. Brooks Nellie Bly,. He has also a
splendid pair of black stations. Jim Polk

along the Yampa, or Bear river. This
