car conductor, and hands him five, with a
grin that does his heart good. never give
out pennies if can help it, but usually
keep them for my own use"
THE REGULAR RIDER.
The regular rider is the least trouble.
He is usually sociable, has pleasant word
to say when he gets on, has his change
ready, and IL all the seats in the car are oc-
cupied he goes all the way up to the front,
for he knows 1t is the most comfortable
place in a crowded car. The Others es-
pecially women, hang around the door on
the back platform, preventing anyone from
going either way. II you want to see the
supreme 6end it is the woman-yes, know
it amt polite to speak that way, but no or
binary words will express 1.-THE woman
who stands in the rear doorway obstruct-
ing all passage, while there is q seat in the
front part of the car.
"You tell her where tue seat is, but she
won't listen. She wants the whole row OF
passengers TO move up 30 that she won't
have to walk to the other end. Sometimes
aman will get up and give her seat and
go up TO the other vacant one. know you
are going TO ask, does she thank himl Well,
you can't expect that from that kind OF an
individual. However, ! want to say that
women generally do thank the man who's
made room for her.
SOME OF THE NUIsANCEs.
"As for the other nuissnces it would tax q
me all night to enumerate them. First,
there is the corner hog. He jumps on the
car, rushes up into corner, il there is the
slightest chance to get one, aud he holds it
against all Corners. The genuine article
always sits sideways, taking up two seats,
and, if he is not crowded into decenoy, he
stretches his legs along the seats. TIE next
time you see him just notice his popularity
the corner grabber never gives up his seat
to any body until he gets at his destination.
Then there is the newspaper fend. His
chief offense is holding his journal In the
way of the man next TO him, TO the disgust
of the latter He's one of the beautiful
specimens of incarnate selhshness that ride
on the cars He don't care bit for the
comfort OF the man next to him-but then
very few do when they are riding.
THE platform crank, the Teller who
wouldn't go in the car il it was empty and
the coolest day IN winter, is another pest.
No one can get on or off with ease while he
stands in the way, and, as for the con-
ductors he nearly turns their brains, for
they can do nothing with him.
"a heavy load, SUCH as you have in the
evening, about O'Clock, breaks up new
conductor. He gets ratified right away and
misses about dozen fares The old-tiner
knows his business too well to be worried
over little thing ike that and beginning
at the front collects the fares systematically.
How many passengers do you think l had
on the up trip this evening ~
The reporter confessed his inability to
come within a score of the number
WHY continued the register ringer. as
he pulled up a fare from platform crank,
who had joined the group, II had eighty
four, and l tell you the car was packed.
But that's nothing. During the centennial
l was on the Market street eud and one trip
had over ninety passengers on the car.
Another time l carried over 200 passengers
during the day. That's railroadin'n
At this stage a little bootblack, about 9
years old, got on, and paid his fare in PEN
MES.
How much did you make to-dayP in
quired the conductor of the boy, as he rung
up the fare.
Twenty cents"
"That's tough, amt it, Do you know"
he continued as he returned to the pla T.
form, 81 hate to take up fare from little
fellers Ike that; it seems like robin

That's true"
GOOD night"
Good night"
