THAT CHICAGO CONDUCTOR.

This Time He Talks About Wholesale
Kissing and of Two Smart Dudes
"If you're goin to wait to kiss all the people
in them five cabs this car amt goin' to wait"
yelled the conductor of Cottage Grove car
at Oaks cemetery the other day. The car
had started up, but the conductor had stopped
it for the vociferous driver of a cab which
headed line of five from the cemetery. The
osculatory proceedings were stopped and
lady made for the car.
1T does beat all, " remarked the conductor,
as he spitefully pulled the bell, ''how some
women think they can stop AGAR while they
kiss all the neighbors."
Are you troubled much by women in that
way7" l asked as finished my cigar on the
platform. mo, cause we won't stop and the
women mostly knows it. Everything under
the sun but the cars has to wait for that sort
of thing. You've no notion he went on,
chow one days business would be damaged
in this city if the street cars would wait for
women like the cabs and other vehicles do"
You're rather out of sorts with the women,
aren't your | asked. "Oh, no, | guess not.
You wouldn't have thought so yesterday if
you'd been on my car and seen me set down
on a couple of young bloods for their i'll man.

friends and nearly always go down town to-
gether. They've got good clothes and first
class notion of their own smartness, but
when it comes to manners and common sense
they're just out. They got on my car yes
terday, not thousand miles from here,
and pretty soon a big fat woman came
on. They whispered to one another and
giggled like pair of simpletons. Then they
got up and said, both together: Take our
seats, madam She got red in the face and
l thought she'd say something to em, but she
didn't, and after a minute she took the va

young men, but nobody said anything.

I'VE don't pretend" said a livery man, ste
furnish an e9uipage that shall rival those OF
the Astors, the Vanderbilts and other million
aires, but we do say that the hired coach can
be made to look better than two-thirds of the
strictly private equipages. Perhaps our
coachnen are not quite as obsequious as those
that drive for the same family year in and
year out, but the fellows are civil enough.
AS for livery, we have TO be careful that
everything is neat and quiet The man
whose coach is hired does not care to attract
attention by startling livery. Green and
gold is the thing with u.s. Nobody is more
CSactinS than our customers as to,the condi-
ton IOf carriage, horses and harness. Now
and then you see private coach that is
manifcStly the worse for wear, but we should
not dare to furnish such carriage to any
regular customer. In fact, think that in
three cases out of four the noticeably well
appointed equipage is hired. Do customers
insist upon the coat of arms2 Hardly. Few
persons in New York have the night to use
such decoration, and those who have adopt
ed them from mere vanity are usually rich
enough to have their own carriages and
stables
YES, it must be confessed that the weak
point of our equipages is the coachman. 1t
Is nara 10 get good men TO take sucn places,
because tho family that hires coach and
coachman in a lump isn't half as careful of
the turnout as a family that employs its own
CoaChman and owns its coach and horses.
Many a millionaire will stay at home rather
than take out his horses in bad weather, and,
strange Gs it may seem, he is often consider
ate for his Coachman'S health and comfort.
Our customers have no such scruplcs They
ride early and late wi, lout regard TO the
weather. This is whywe find it hard to get
first rate coachmcn. We are always glad to
get hold of a dismissed private coachman,
provided his otrense has not been serious.
Such man knows how to wear livery; can
sit box with the rigidity Of pasteboard
figure, and will seldom fail short in the mat
ter of respect and obedience Rum is the
| great trouble with most CT these NEIL Every
body knows that the best COachmcu, as is the
| case with other servants, come from abroad.
The native American does not take TO such
occupations. The SWEETEST tuynouts in New
York seldom equal thee Of the British aris-
! tocracy, because the London coachman has
moro style than the New York coachman.
| Coachee in New York still retains some trace
of human feeling. New York Star.

UNEOVED AND ALONE.

The sea dove some twin shadow has,
The lark has loves in seas Of grass,
The wild beast trumpets back his VOW,
The squirrel laughs along his bough;
But |. am as lone alasl
AS yon white moon when white clouds pass,
AS lonely and unloved, alasl
AS clouds that weep and drop and pass.
Omaiden. singing silver sweet,
At cabin door, in field of corn,
Where woodbines Irvine for thy retreat
Sing sweet through all thy summer morn.
For love is landing at thy feet,
In that fair isle in seas of corn,
But |, | am unloved and lori,
As winter Winds of winter morn.
The ships, black bellied, climb the sea,
The seamen seek their loves on land,
And love and lover, hand in hand,
Go singing, glad as glad can be,
But nevermore shall love seek me,
By blowy sea or broken land,
By broken wild or willow tree,
Nay, nevermore shall love seek me.

4 BARRIERS Patience.

BARRIERS are not without queer experiences
in their line of trade We sometimes have
very queer folks TO deal with, and generally
they are the very ones who patronize us the
least Customers come who want give you
a draft of plan to cut their hair by. They
want their hair cut thick on the Sides thin on
the top, or just the reverse. Others want
their hair cut lightly on the top and sides and
thick in the back Those with u bald head
tendency want a plentiful use of the hair
brush, while those with a good, rich growth
of hair want very little if any brushing for
fear that their soft tresSes may be injured.
1t requires no end of patience to make sue
ccssful barber, l assure you.-St Louis Globe

dIence, have well deYc,cpleed nerves But
there was one of them in Chicago the other
day who had evidently taken an overdose, as
he exhibited a nerve that was a beauty.
Along about 10 a. m. he entered a Dearborn
street cigar store and purchased a nickel
torch. He had his grip with him, and he
asked the proprietor's permission TO leave it
behind the counter until he wanted it, 1t
put back under the shelf with pleasure. Some
thing like an hour later the travelling man
came III with two gentlemen. ''Wil you
please allow me to take my sachel for mo-
ment?" he asked, and it was handed out TO
over the'show case, took out his order book
and began TO talk business with the two gen
tleufen' accompanying him.
After he had taken their orders he replaced
his samples and asked the cigar man to Indy
set the grip aside for him Then he bought
three more cent cigars. About noon he
brought in three more men and apologetic-
ally called for his grip. He displayed his
samples again, took his orders, and once more
treated TO the ''Nickel movements" During
the day this operation was repeated several
times, and finally the cigar dealer dropped to
the fact that the drummer was merely using
his place as a sample room in order TO save
the rent of one at the hotel When he dis
covered that he was being played he called
the traygling man aside and quietly but
firmly informed him that he wouldn't have
it." notwithstanding the nervy mans assUr-
ancU that ne was good fora dollar day. w.

The Louisiana State Fair and Shreve-
port Exposition will present its Fourth
Annual Exhibit at Shreveport, beginning
Tuesday, the Sth day of October. and

ence enables the management to enlarge
the scope of usefulness and attractive
ness of the various exhibits of our agri-
cultural and other products, and increase
the premium lists to the highest point of
liberality. Better. crops. fatter and bet
ter cattle, larger and stronger work ami
mails; and encouragement in all industri-
al pursuits is the sure outcome of these
annual exhibits. Everybody should raise
something useful or attractive to exhibit,
and go to Shreveport during Fair week.
An immense number of attractions are
engaged by the management that will
prove instructive as we'll as amusing.
Competitive prize and exhibition drills
of the crack military companies of the
