An Amusing Episode Of Street Car Trsv-
81 In tho Capital City.
A Washington gentleman relates the
following streetrcar episode witnessed
recently:
II boarded north-bound cable car
down in the heart of the city about
dusk, and, as usual, there were no seats
left I took position near the rear
door. At the next corner two young
women got in. They were bright look
ing, and one was particularly pre-
possessing in appearance, but she seem
ed very tired-from having operated q
typewriter all day long perhaps.
Every man seated in that car save two
were snugly ensconsed behind his even
ing newspaper. The two without
newspapers were each huddled up like
ball, almost, and had their hats pull
ed down over their eyes and pretended
TO be asleep.
"A small newsboy squeezed himself
through the crowd on the platform and
cried out his evening papers with poor
success. On his way out he was stopped
by one of the young womcn-the pre-
possessing one. Her face lighted up as
by some bright idea. She whispered
something hurriedly to her friend.
"1u dare you to do it," replied 1he
latter.
"All right; I'm not afraid. Here,
boy, give me two papers. Give mo the
largest and never mind the CHANGE she
said eagerly.
"Then, in perfectly self-possessed
and matter-of-fact manner she walked
TO the center of the car, where sat the
two individuals with the SLOUGH hats.
She took the papers with her, and her
movements were followed by tho eyes
Of most every one in the car
"'Here, gentlemen, please have pa
per- said she, thrusting ono Of tho
sheets toward each of these men. For
It is too bad that of all this carload you
should be the only ones without any
thing to engage your attention.
And the two men, at first not COM
pretending the situation, took tho prof
fered papers, but the laugh of the 9TH
ers who had witnessed the performance
brought them to their senses. They
turned red, and soon found it conven-
lent to ride the rest of the way on
the front platform. A number of
men who had enjoyed the other fellows
discontinue, and admiring the woman's
nerve, rendered her and her friends
seats. Both, however, declined with
thanks, saying that under the circum-
stances they were well satisfied to
stand. "-Washinpton Post.

ride with me on my sled all the after

The Faults and Follies OF the Ago
Are numerous, but of the latter none is
more ridiculous than the promiscuous and
random use of laxati\ 9 pills and other
drastic cathartics. These wrench, con-
vulsc and weaken both the stomach and the
bowels. If Hostetter's Stomach Bitters be
used instead of these no-remedies, the re-
suit is accomplished without pain and with
great benefit to the bowels, the stomach and
the liver. Use this remedy when constipa-
ton manifests itself, and thereby prevent
it from becoming chronic.
