son of Chicago. Il was gong from
Saltwater Mimi. to Oshkosh, and
aboard the train were dozen pinery
men who had just been paid off and
had celebrated the event by getting
full OF fighting whiskey. They took
the train and ran IL to suit them
selves. They had the train crew
completely cowed. and started in to
make themselves obnoxious to the
passengers They wanted q row and
were determined to have it. but no.
body appeared inclined to accommo-
date them. Finally they invaded the
ladies' coach, whooped yelled. and
smashed the hats OF male passengers
down over their eyes a demure lit
tie woman sat in the seat with her
husband and when his derby was
smashed, she rose up and whacked
the smasher over the head with q big
hickory cane. The blow sounded like
the pop of pistol, and the bully
went sprawling over a seat. Then
how she did belabor him. One of his
companions attempted TO come to his
rescue and was laid out in the aisle.
Then she chased the rest OF the gang
back into the smoker and dared them
TO leave it And they didn't. As for
the male passengers we hadn't word
to say. We were even more crest
fallen thsn the bullos. "

infinitely dreary. The old woman

Are You Psychic?

Are you psychic? When your friends
approach can you feel them around the
corner? In conversation can you antici-
pate what they are going to say? Can
you hear yourself addressed when there
there is nobody in the room? Did you
ever see friend when he or she is in a
distant town? If you have ever expert
enced any of these you are psychic.
1t is now the thing to be psychic. It
implies finer susceptibilities, keener per-
ceptions, subtler apprehension than the
average, and is not for a moment to be
confounded with the powers of alleged
mediums. The word psychic used to be
a sort of high class term that nobody
less than a poet or professor would
presume to use. Now psychic is reduced
to the ranks Of working terms, and a
girl of sixteen may handle it as famil-
iarly as lawfully" or elegant"
"When l heard the doorbell ring l
knew it was you" Psychic, see? "Come,
take off your things" and that is all
there is of it.
Psychic experiences have made ghost
stories old fashioned. The former are
more interesting because they are more
individual. Ghost stories are generally
hearsay, but in the unbosoming moments
of confidence most people will be found
to have had psychic experiences.-New

A Woman Hotel Cashier.

The Holland House has made an inno-
! vation. Guests were surprised recently
to see a young woman, scarcely more
than girl, behind the cashiers desk.
The Holland is the first hotel in the city
to employ woman cashier in the main
office.
There is one other hotel in the country
that employs woman cashier. This is
the Palmer House, of Chicago.
Miss Lisette McEvoy is the name of
the young woman who fills the place
here. Since the opening of the Holland
House last October she has been cashier
in the hotel restaurant. In this position
she gained popularity with the guests
and won the esteem of the walters. She
is mite of a miss, weighing less than
one hundred pounds. She is pro-
nounced brunette, and her dark brown
hair is worn in fluffy puffs on the top and
back of her head.
The position of hotel cashier is heavy
responsibility for little woman not over
twenty years of age. She has to do all
the dealing with the porters, duty that
''rattles" and calls forth curses from the
strongest and most patient of men cash
iers. The advent of Miss McEvoy will
be calculated to reform the manners of
the belligerent porter. Personally the
clerks of the hotel admire and like Miss
McEvoy, but they cannot help speculat-
ing as to how far the innovation will be
carried.
Miss McEvoy's hours are six one day
and twelve the next, keeping her at the
desk every alternate day until midnight.
Her salary is 81 800 year, a considera-
BILE advance over what she received when
in the restaurant.-New York Adver-
tiSer.
