Then there is the unconcerned, Ian
guld specimen OF mankind; who wear
ily raise hand, or nod their heads, as
the ear approaches. aud you don't see
them getou Or OF the car until il comes

mind one more of the mule than they
do men ot the 18th century. No one
need worry about these men ever set
ting the ocean atire.
THESE dispositions are characteristic
OF the ladies as well as the men,
and IN most cases, Is
more noticeable, especially is II so IN
the matter OF delaying OF cars
and their SioWness to act. The one that
Is the most exasperating IS the one that
signals for car after II has passed her
a block and then takes Il snalPs pace III
overtaklng IL. Another woman IS al
WAYS on the first crOsswaik and keeps
every one waiting until she walks TO
the further crosswalk, where she should
be. She will always ring the bell for
the driver 10 stop before she has got 10
where she alights, and then asks hIm 10
90 little further. Inen there are
others that jump on and OFT without
delaying anybody for an unreasonable
length OF time. These are the ones that
are admired by all.
OF course there is the comical side of
life as well. You will see woman from
the country get on who apparently mas
never ridden on a street car before, and
Consequently, Is very nervous.
She stares at every one about the car
like they do In country meeting
house, and then happens to think that
they have TO pay fare 10 ride on
"these air street cars" Her greatest
concern then Is, where TO deposit her
fare. After taking the nlckle out Of the
corner of her handkerchief and tying
ltJp again several times, she finally
gets up 'before everybody" and puts
her fare in the iamp-box IN the rear OF
the car. She then begins 10 worry,
! fearing that the car will carry her past
her destination. She raps on the win
dow to attract the driver and begins
nervoUsly To scan the signs along the
stneets. A good hearted lady, noticing
! her discomfort, comes to her relief and
after the lady from the country alight:
at "Grab Corners she VOWS that she
Will never ride on one Of those pesky
street cars gun.
