StE So say not. I'm n woman hater. that's
EGA what arm. This was not the ghost
n OF any great philosopher talking,
- e&sbut simply a very obIging conduc-
tor on one of the avenue cars. THE STAR re-
porter won't give his number. he may re-
pent some day aud Il would not do to have his
remarks thrown up 10 HIM through posslblys
long and happy married life.
Women are women. suppose" continued
the knight Of the bell punch. and reckon
that explains everything. You can't expect
any great shakes of class of humanity that
makes a lunch OF Of an ice cream soda and
the same afternoon buys a S40 bonnet. for
which the suffering husband gets bill the
next day"
The conductor seemed 90 derive intense en-
loyment ont Of his remarks on women. for az
he rehectyely punched has slip twice for three
fares he remarked positively. as If the idea had
come to HIM bv fash OF inspiration: Yes;
there is no doubt about it. women are women"
CASE UNDER Hts rMNEpt.rE OBSERVATION.
Full concurrence having been expressed in
these sentiments, he proceeded to still further
unburden his suffering soul why. young

misery OF marrying one. 10 have her going

is. He's q Whited sepllchre. and he
knows 1t. too. He darsen't look a man
IN the face, and las only been married two
months. he don't take no interest m anything
any more. CussIng has horses has lost all its
charms for him. and haven't heard him saw q

OF the poor deceived chap on the
front platform, used TO be always
wanting 10 get of for day and he' a have q
real good time on the river somewhere. but
You doa't see Billy wanting 10 get of any
more. If it's cold, he'd rather stay on the plat
form. He knows things will be too hot for him

better satisfied AT work. The GOODNESS which

for young lady who had let the car go a
quarter OF a square past her before signaling,
and now calmly and gracefully walked to-

SIGNS OF MATRIMONIAL INTENTIONS.
"What special instances of deprayity in the
sex have seen? Now look here, young fellow,
you are not thinking Of getting married, ars
you? No, well TN glad to hear it, 1 knew
Won were not in for IT vet. YOU haven't that
uneasy side glance as If you we're looking for
something to be thrown at your head, although
| you've got one of the signs, too. Those two
buttons off your coat Now an unmar-
ried man has solemn duty 10
perform. He should set an example 10 the
rising generation by always having his butto NJ
sewed on and showing the difference between
himself and married man Now there's Billy
up IN front Why. bless your heart, Billy
don't know Any more what buttons are. Billy
hasn't got two buttons on all his clothes. He
uses sticks and shoe strings and things. Aud
Billy used 10 be that neat; but this thing OF
getting married is like opium eating. Once let
il master you and all your sef-respect's gone
and you don't care q cuss whether you tie your
vest on with shoe string or not
WOMAN on A CAR.
Nov it's this way with women. woman
can be irritating anywhere, but she's bound to
be SO on a car, and If you don't humor her she
will report YOU.
"A woman will stand on a corner and gaze
pensiyely up at the sky until the car gets q
half square past her and then yell like q
steam whistle until you stop. after which all
her interest in the sky will return and she will
walk ieisurely up TO the Garland report you.
Four women will take up one side of a car and
ten people may hang to the straps, but never
a female will move up. A car may stop on o
corner and a woman live two doors beyond,
but the cars got to stop again directly IN frout
OF her door, and ii she s carried two doors be-
yond--why she reports you.
If somebody doesn't give q woman a seat 40
soon As she gets on q car she's mad. Now
pleased woman is no snap on q car, but mad
woman is worse than a western cyclone. You
may as well make up your mind you'll get re-
ported for something.
"A woman's mind never grasps the idea that
q is time, and If the time is not
made, the driver or conductor gets fined or laid
off. Their sole purpose in life seems TO be to
get cars behind hand"
But The STAR reporter had reached his
destination and dropped of, and as the car
went jinglng up the street, the last words
came floating back, Now young Teller, you
paste the motto in your hat, for Its true,
women are women"
