Third-Avenue Car.

At2 o'clock on a recent morning Third

town on the Bowery, Just below Houston
street. The conductor was a short. stocky,
sandy-complexlOned man, who addressed
very familiar remarks 10 the passengers,
and acted IN fresh manner generally. A
bic. heavy German boarded the car. He
wore plain, very neat clothing, and q clean
white shirt. He took his seat on one or
tic rear benches reserved for smokers. and
began slowly and very carefully 10 Nil

ductor approached him and said with great
brusqueness:

The old German looked up IN placid sur
prise and said; D,
Il will give you the fare in moment.
81 want your fare this minute" yelled
the conductor.
Let me fill my pipe" said the old man.
The conductor grabbed the German Qy
shoulders and shook him, shouting all tue
while in very angry and excited manner:
&" want your fare OF | want you To get on
the car. will put you off the car Auy

The German put his meerschaum into MS >
