A mean-looking man got on Broadway and
Seventh avenue car at Canal street yesterday.
He sat down between two women says the
New York SUM- and handed the conductor a
nickel. At Bleecker street he called the con-
ductor to him and asked, Don't 1 get any
changer"
The c. n luctor looked surprised. You only
gave me a Nickel" he said.
You lie" said the mean-looking man an
grily. 81 gave you dollar bill. See, l had
four bills. and | only have three now" He
pulled three 8! bills from his pocket. The con
ductoc counted his money and found it agreed
with the number of fares registered.
II am sure you only gave me nickel, " he
said
You're a liar" said the mean man, land if
you don't give me my 95 cents change I'll take
it out of your hide, and then have you arrested
for swindling.
81 am quite sure you only gave the conductor
6-cent piece, yentured one Of the women; II
saw the coin"
You're quite sure of nothing, said the mean
man in an insulting tone. Does he pay you to
cap for him."
A big man dressed like laborer sat on the
opposite side OF the car. He had heard the dis
pute When the mean man addressed the woman
this man reached over with g pair Of useful
eleven-inch hands. He seized the mean man bv
both the nose and the ear, and twisted those
organs until the mean man howled
You're q sneak thief" said the big man.
You're mean enough to rob church poor
box" and he lifted him up out of the seat and
twisted and butted him with his knee He car
ried him kicking aud bowling from the car and
dropped him off the back platform. you try
to get on this car again" he shouted. and I'll
break every bone in your pesky body" The car
went on. The conductor and the women looked
relieved. The mean man got up and walked off

She Accepted tho Seat.

She was a pretty girl employed in down
town store, and he was a bad. bad man. They
boarded in the same house on one of the south
side avenues. and he used to watch her as she
trtpped up the stairs or ate her meals or sat in
the parlor and sung an alto to popular songs
and he fairly seethed with the bad desire to
break her heart. But she carried herself so
delicately and draped herself SO completelY in
certain mantel, the gift OF her
godmothsr, called ''maidenly reserve, -
that he had no chance to in
trude the odium of his terrible badness upon
her, says the Chicago Herald. And finally his
procllVities fer terrible deeds so wrought upon
him that he was put to his wits end, and when
bad young man about town on a salary of $40
week gets to his wits end he has found the
very point of nowhere, and there Is no limit TO
what he will do.
SO this bad young man went and bought a
ticket for the theater, and he inclosed it in nice
little patchouli scented note to the young girl
In IL he said something to this effect: 81" inclose
ticket No. 2for q row at the Opera house" He
didn't add, Il will occupy No. !, " but the girl
had bright eyes, and she read between the lines
Now, If the writer had been imam enough TO
say that with her permission he would escort
her to the theater, and throw himself upon the
ground OF common brotherhood aud sisterhood
under the same roof and all that the girl. not
being prude, might have accepted his invita-
ton. But such an invitation would not have
suited the morbid ambition of the bad young
man at all When the girl with the bright eyes
read the note she was pleased with plan that
popped into her head then and there. The land
lady of the boarding house was woman turned
SO, weighed oaly 300 pounds, and jolly and gooC
as gold SO the young lady asked the landlady
to accept the Ticket No. ?, row G." for one
night only. And taking the portly landlady
into her confidence the two laughed long anC
merrily.
The bad young men when he dressed himself
in his cane and button-hole flower and walkeC
down the aisle to pre-empt claim on sea
No. /, row G., felt sad and left the scene. The
landlady enjoyed the play hugely, but seat No.
was vacant.

Mr. Tazlor and as umbrelIa.

This is a story about fisherman and about
| fishing, says the Mobile Register. but not fsr
story, and it is very true and equally strange
IL is an umbrella story. the umbrella belongs
to William c. Taylor, the railroad man. MOI
many days ago Mr.. Taylor went down to Dog
river fishing, and 70 protect himself from the
rays Of the July sun carried the old family UNI
brella which had been ON duty until it Yves
more honorable than seryiceable. When the
umbrella slipped overheard and sank out Of
sight 10 the river, the owner was sorry 10 part
with 1t, bee e use it was a relic but he felt nc
pecuniary loss. He casually mentioned to d
beach c1m ber that he saw in the distance thai
he had dropped an umbrella thus and so, and
came on home. The next morning the lost UNI
brela was to be seen standing beside the rail-
road mans desk, and refusing to be lost.
This is but one half of this story.
A short while thereafter Mr. Taylor went fish
ing in Polecat Bay, body OF water several
miles in expanse. The umbrella went with him
While Mr.. Taylor was catching q sheepshead
the wind caught the open umbrella and whisked
tt out OF his hand The umbrella SKINNED
over the waves like a thing of life
aud finally, at some hundred yards dis
tance, collapsed and sank beneath the waves
Good-by, faithful but unfortunate servant and
companion.
There is some more Of this story.
A few days ago one of the clerks in the rail
road mans office called on Mr.. John Gaillard on
business. What was the young mans astonis0-
ment when he saw his boss's umbrella standing
AlOuSslue mr. OalllaTu ueSh. MuJual eA pland
lions were quickly made. The umbrella had in
deed sunk to the bottom of POlecat bay. but one
of the tishermen-one of those sort who fish for
business and catch something-came drifting
that way and caught the umbrella with hook
and line. AS this fisherman was not an habtual
user of umbrellas, he brought the treasure trove
to air Gaiiiard, his friend, whom he believed to
be addicted TO umbrellas. The clerk carried off
the umbrella in triumph and thought he was
preparing a happy surprise, but Mr.. Taylor is
now balancing the value of the UNI brella against
the two claims for reward pending for the find
ing and recovery of the ancient and domestic
ar
