TRICKS OF CAR sPoTTERs.
But They Can't Catch Veteran Conduc-
tors Who Understand Their Business.

/ boarded Sixth avenue car the
other day at the corner of Vesey street
and Broadway, says a N. I. Herald
man. l was standing on the rear
platform beside the conductor.
When the car had gone about half a
block man was seen running from
Broadway toward us. He was going
at clipping gait, as though desirous
of overtakIng the car before it turned
into Church street.
The conductor, like the experienced
man that he was in his line Immediate
ly turned his back to the runper. l
told the veteran railroader that there
was a man running after the car.
He frowned and pulled the bell with
jerk that betokened annoyance, but
he said nothing.
forthwith made up my mind that 1
would not again play the part of pub
lie benefactor, and that if ever the
same occasion presented itself l would
mind my own business and turn my
back also in emulation of the con-
ductor.
The car stopped and waited for the
man. He soon reached it, but to my
astonishment he passed it by and kept
Ou ruunlnp QOWu Tue street.
The conductor rang the bell to start.
When the car had almost disappeared
from the corner of Vesey in Church
street the conductor again stopped it.
That man is spOtter," he said to
me. land that is the reason why pre-
tended not to see him. He didn't
want to get on. He only wanted to
catch me. If had not stopped after
noticing him he would have reported
me and l would have got bounced. Do
you see him? He's coming back"
And sure enough the man, not ex-
pecting that the conductor would stop
on the corner, had already started
back to Broadway, to try the same
game on the next one, the conductor
told me.
They try all sorts of tricks, new
ones every week, to catch US mapping
or stealing" the conductor continued.
when l was running a night car an
old man used to get on at the corner
of Chamber street at o'clock in the
morning with a milkcan he used to
put on the front platform. That was
a very clever piece of deception. one
well calculated to throw a conductor
off his guard, but somehow | suspect
ed that man Immediately. He kept
that up for four consecutive nights.
noticed that he turned around every
time passenger got on. So l didn't
make a cent on those trips. l thought
I'd tire him out, and | did. One day
l caught him coming out of the super
intendent's office.
"You don't appear to be in the milk
business to-day?" | said to him.
He saw that his little game had
been discovered and dropped off. He
must have reported me as honest,
for was not watched again for a year.
and made more money after that than
ever before. They can't catch a man
who understands his business. It's
only the green ones who get caught OF
men who become reckless through un-
interrupted success or by taking toe
many balls.'

The Georgia Justice.

The joke on the Georgia rural Justice
of the Peace has gained that worthy
parsonage a national reputation; but it
frequently happens that some of these
jokes are no jokes at all, but plain
realities.
Some time since Justice in Haral-
son County. this State, granted a
quarreling couple an absolute divorce,
that is, he granted the woman a di-
vorce, and it was not until she had
hunted up another husband and was
about to resume the matrimonial yoke
that she discovered that the Justice,
though granting the divorce in good
faith, had exceeded his authority.
But the latest and best story in this
line comes fresh from Georgis
county.
A runaway couple. pursued by an
angry father. rushed into the bedroom
of sleeping Justice and demanded al
Immediate marriage.
Arrayed in flowing gown of white
the startled Justice leaped from hi:
couch, and. seeing woman present
as quickly leaped behind the bed.
What do you want?" he thundered
peering wildly over the headboard.
Want 10 get marriedm shouted the
man.
Take her and go, aud God hell
your cried the Justice.
And the nuptial knot was tied

Child-life in the Ural Mountains

And as for the children-whY, the
whole place seems peopled with them!
You can scarcely stir without running
against some little brown-faced, round
eyed figure. with no cap but its own
matted hair, and. indeed, little cloth
ing of any kind except light shirt or
pinafore. In these warm. bright sum-
mer days, the whole hillside is their
playground, and jolly life they have
of it. Sometimes they are out all day
in the woods, gathering frewood or
picking mushrooms, their dinner being
eaten upon the smooth turf, under the
shade of some spreading tree. Then.
too. there are always plenty of horses
to be taken down to the water, and ii
is fun for the boys to ride them bare
backed down the steep slopes, and tc
go splashing about in the stream,
laughing and shouting to each other
till the lonely hillside is as lively and
noisy as any nursery. And to see the
horses themselves prance, and shake
their names, and toss their heads
about, and splash up the water, you
would think that they enjoyed the
sport quite as much as did the little
riders.
Besides. there is no lack of games
for the children to play. They have
quite as many as other children. There
is wolf and Lamb" which resembles
your hide-and-seek; and there is a
game something like nine-pins, but
played with long pieces of bone. Then
there is "Ichasovoi'' (sentineD, which
is played by setting one boy to walk III
and down a line traced on the ground,
while the rest try to leap over it with
out being caught. Sometimes the
sentinel is blindfolIed, and then every
one who crosses the line has to warn
him by first giving shout
Then, too, as the highroad passes
right through these mountains, there
are always plenty of wagons and post
cars going backward and forward.
during the fine summer weather. II
is not unusual for the little people to
run after them and to beg a ride, and
very seldom indeed do they meet with
a refusal. --D0Uid Ker, IN st. Nicholas.

 Dr. Goodwin testified that whi.e riding m a buggy with Dr, Handy, Dr. Handy had threatened to kill Heney, using at the same time a very strong adjective which was understo. d to be meant for HeRey.
