what Should You DO when the Conduct
or Docsn't Ask for Your Fare?

I what Should You DO When the Conduct.
or Docsn't Ask for Your Fare9
If you ride in a street car and the
conductor lMgets to collect your fare,
is it right or wrong for you to leave
him in ignorance of the fact and gel
off without paying the five cents OF
your own accord7
That is a delicate question in street
car ethics. but before deciding to
keep still and save your money il
would perhaps be wise to reflect on
the experience of a lady who boarded
Madison avenue car a few days ago
at Ninety fourth street and rode
down to Fourteenth street without
paying a cent for the ride.
IF 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 com
pany. consider it matter of prin-
ciple not to give up my nickel
So she reasoned with herself, but
alas for such reasoningl The con-
ductor out there on the back plat
form was by no means a fool; on the
contrary, he was a student Of human
nature, particularly of feminine hui
man nature, and if he had not asked
the young lady from Ninety fourth
street to give him the regulation five
cents it was not, as she supposed,
because he had overlooked 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
carried that lady, and then she. all
serene, prepared to leave the car
without paying, The conductor
sighed, and his barometer of human
nature sank way down. The struggle
had been fought and the battle lost.
However, he reflected that that was
no reason why the Madison Avenue
Street Car company should lose five
cents.
Excuse me, madam" he said
politely, as her patent leather boot
touched the lower step, did / get
your fare?"
There was merry twinkle in his
eye as he said this.
All that was q terrible moment
for the Harlem lady. To say yes
would be to tell lie, to say no would
be to admit that she had been cheat
ing. So she told a fib, only little
one, however, and merely to save the
the situation.
why, didn't you2" she asked in
nocently, 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 fingers into tho conductors
outstretched hand.
pretty well done, that, wasn't itH
said the back platform philosopher to
a passenger who had watched the
transaction. These women folks do
beat all for looking innocent. You
wouldn't have thought that girl had
been calculatin on my tacl1lin-her for
that five cents, but she had. just the
samee. Did you see how she had
the nickel all ready there in her
glover Oh, yes, we have lots of 'em
like her every day. But, say, she's

The chief point of interest on Mack

John Jacob Astor, ard within which

II a ship Is strictly Al and well

twelve years. Then she must be
carefully examined, and if found IN
good condition her rating may be
continued four years longer. But
long before the end of the twelve
years the captain is careful not TO
carry on sail as he did the first trip.
Even with the fair gale the topgallant
sails are furled and the mainsail
clewed up-she is getting "tender"
and must be watched. If she has
aged pretty fast, as she would under

chances are that the ambitious cap
tain gets out of her and into a new
ship. A new man takes the old ship,
and then she drops out of the general
merchandise trade to Frisco, or the
China tea trade, and carries guano or
coal.
When a ship has carried cargo for
fifteen years, even undor favorable
conditions, she is an old ship. She is
like an Overworked horse; she tot
ters on her way. In a heavy sea she
is long time rising on the swells,
for she has lost much of her buoyan-
cy. Last of all, she goes into the
lumber trade, and there wallows her
way from port to port until some
day her bones are laid upon a lee
shore or she fails to rise when some
heavy wave strikes her, and thus
adds one more to the already appal-
ling list of the mysteries of the

Asafetida as a cure for "gnp"

Asafetida as cure for "gnp" has
been ridiculed by great many physl-
clans, but most Of them admit, adds the
New York Post, that they have never
prescribed it. In the West asafetida III
pills of four grains has been tried with
gratifying results. Quick recoveries are
reported In nearly every instance, with
out the usual sequel of debility. In
Louisville alone 20, 900 of the pills were
sold in one day recently. No bad effects
can follow the use of asaf@tida, for OF
all things it is a sedative. In Asiatic
countries 1t is employed as eondiment'
but this Is use to which few persons
will csre to put it.. Many old people in
the West who were far gone with the
disease have, it is asserted, been cured
by the asafetida pills. They should be
taken, according to their admirers three
times day with glass of water ana
taken In this way are warranted not 10
