STREET CAR ETHICS.

What Should Be Done When tho Com
ductor Doesn't Ask for tho Fare.
If you ride in street car and the con-
ductor forgets to collect your fare, is it
right or wrong for you to leave him In
ignorance Of the fact and get off with
out paying the Eve cents OF your own
accord?
That Is delicate question in street
car ethics, but before deciding to keep
still and save your money it would per-
haps be wise to reflect on the expert
ence Of a lady who boarded q Madison
avenue car a few days ago and rode
without paying cent for the ride, says
the New York Herald.
''lf that conductor does not know
enough to ask me for the fare" she
said to herself, this fair Harlemite, lit
is certainly not my business to look out
for the interests of the company.
consider it matter of principle not to
give up my nickel"
SO she reasoned with herself, but
alas for such reasoning! The conductor
ont there on the back platform was by
no means fool; on the contrary, he
was student of human nature, partic-
ularly of feminine human nature; and
il he had not asked the young lady
from Ninety-fourth street to give him
i. the regulation five cents it was not, as
she supposed, because he had over
looked her, but because he wanted to
get some fuller knowledge as to the
workings OF the Harlem conscience.
All the way down to fourteenth
street, four good miles, the horses car
ried that lady. and then she, ali serene,
prepared to leave the car without pay
ing. The conductor sighed, and his
barometer of human nature sank way
down. The struggle had been fought
and the battle lost. However he re-
fected that was no reason why the COM
pany should lose five cents.
Excuse me, madam he said, po-
litely, as her patent leather boot
touched the lower step, ibid I get your
fare?''
There was merry twinkle in his eye
as he said this.
All! that was a terrible moment for
the Harlem lady To say yes would
be to tell lie; to say mo- would be
to admit that she had been cheating.
So she told fb, only little one,
however, and merely to save the situa-
ton.
"Why, didn't your" she asked, inno-
Gently, raising pair of blue eyes in
which there was no guile. 'Oh, am
so sorry" and with that she dropped a
nickel from her daintily gloved fin
gers into the conductors outstretched
hand.
pretty well done. that. wasn't it?"
said the back platform philosopher to
passenger who had watched the trans
action. "These women folks do beat
the deuce for looking innocent. You
wouldn't have thought that girl had
been calculatin' on my tacklin' her for
that five cents, but she had, just the
samee. Did you see how she had the
nickel all ready there in her glove?
Oh, yes, we have lots of 'em like her
every day. But, l say, she's daisy,
Amt she?''

STORY OF A PET EAGLE.
Chilians Need Not Brag About the Prov

Chilians Need Not Brag About tho Prov
ess of Their Condors.
A party of tourists witnessed a
strange sight near misplace few days
ago, says a Ration IN. N.Y. correspond
ent OF the Philadelphia Press. While
going by little house near the road
they heard the frantic screams of
a woman Several of the men ran to
the house and found her standing in a
side door screaming: MY child! My
child!' and pointing to an clubhouse, on
top of which sat a big bald eagle, with
child about one year old in it's talons.
Before any of the party could shoot the
noise frightened the bird, and, picking
up the child, he tapped his enormous
wings, and started away. The weight
of the child, however, was almost too
much, and it seemed impossible for him
to rise more than fifty feet above the
ground. A Mr.. Roberts in the party
had rife, but feared to shoot, know
Ing that if the bird was killed the boy
would fall to the ground and be dashed
to pieces. The half-crazed mother
and the, party of tourists ran
along, keeping as near the eagle
as possible At last the mother i'm
plored Mr.. Roberts to shoot the bird.
Thinking the boys death was almost q
certainty in any event Mr.. Roberts took
careful aim and fired. The eagle gave
q scream and began beating the air vi
ciously with one wing, while the other
hung useless by his side. 1t was almost
minute before the strength of the
bird gave out, and it began to fall, still
holding the boy in its talons. It came
down, slowly circling about, and get
ting lower and lower each time and at
last reached the ground. The mother
rushed for her child, but the eagle
began to fight with beak and wing, and
it was not until it had been killed with
the butt of the rifle that the child was
released. The talons of the eagle had
gotten well tied up in the child's
clothes, and this had saved the boys
lie. He was black and blue in places
by being beaten by the eagles wings,
but was not otherwise hurt. The moth
er told the tourists that the eagle had
been about the house for a long time
and had almost become a pet. 1t had
seemed to be much attached to dog
owned by her husband and spent much
of its time near the dogs kennel A
few weeks before the dog had shown
symptoms of madness and had been
shot. Since then the eagle had seemed
very vicious.

CONCERNING INVENTORS.

EittNe Ideas That Have Made Their Origt
majors Rich.
''While the path of the inventor is
generally strewn with rocks instead of
roses" said a well-known patent law.
yer to New York Advertiser reporter,
stsornetimes he strikes an idea that. in
sporty language, lands him on Easy
street for the present, and eventually
locates him on Plush avenue. And the
strange thing about these ideas is that
they are always SO painfully simple
that every other man when he hears Of
them kicks himself for not utilizing the
same idea when it occurred vaguely to
his own mind several years before.
Zone instance of this fact is the in.
vention of the sand blast.
'sThe inventor, while on visit to the
seashore, noticed that the glass in those
windows which fronted the beach of
the place at which he was stopping was
dulled in some peculiar way. He made
inquiry and found that this was caused
by the clouds of sand which the winter
storms drove against the exposed panes-
1.-THE sand blast resulted from this
little bit of trivial information. and the
man who utilized it is at present sport
ing purple and fine linen and possesses
numerous ducats.
"a second example is that Of the ru-
raj gentleman who found his watch
key plugged with dust one afternoon
After scraping it out he sat down to
think of some way to stop future an
noyances in that line. By way Of ex-
pertinent he bored hole in the key
near it's end and found that he could
clean it at once by simply blowing
through this orifce.
HE patented the idea, and realized a
big sum of money on IT, But ideas
like these don't occur every afternoon. =

Model OF American Manhood.

An English journal says of Buffalo
Bill that he "has done more to popu-
larize America in the minds OF the
general British public than any one
or fifty Americans that could be
mentioned" This is rather rough on
the fellows who parade their wealth
and offensive Americanisms at the
door of English society, seeking ad-
mission. But Cody, constantly in the
surrounding Of Russian Cossacks,
Mexican vacqueros, cowboys and
wild riders from South America, is
modest, manly and honest parading
no airs and seeking to bring home
naught but British-shekels. Must we
write it down that the proudest sue
cess of American manliness abroad is
the evolution of Wild West scout

The withered brown leaves lie
In clusters beneath her feet;
They were glad 10 fade and die
TO make her pathway sweet; W
And each scattered fake of snow
In amorous longing seeks
To melt away In the glow
Other warm and crimson cheeks
And the rays Of the setting sun
Steal ninety billion miles
To catch sight OF one
or her rare and brilliant smiles;
And the stars of evening fight,
At the close Of the dying day,
To be first TO greet her sight
With feeble twilight ray;
And the dull old earth rolls on
With slow and steady gait,
And his solemn mind upon
His sweet and precious freight.
No wonder he seems afraid
To enter the comets race:
he is bearinga gucenly maid
Through the dizzy realms of space.
