gentleman who looked like Dsnman Thomp-
son in "Josh Whitcomb." The cable car ran
through squaiid district where women and
children sprawled over the blistering pave
ment, while puny babes walled and helpless
mothers tried in listless, half hopeless way
to quiet their cries. The train ran by two
squares of sweltering misery and then the
old gentleman showed signs of unmistakable
excitement, pulled the wrong bellcord and
rung up fare as a signal that he wanted to
get off After the usual exchange of COM
pliments in such cases between the conductor
and the passenger, he succeeded In alight.
