He Rode Around The Loop.

A stranger in the city yesterday
got pretty hot and sore at the plan of
the street railway system. He wanted
to go to East Sedalia, and knowing
that he must take a line from Ohio
street going in an easterly direction.
he boarded the first Car, at Sichers
hotel. going that way, and was aston
! ished to find himself, after few min
utes ride, back at the starting point
and headed south. He concluded
that he was on the wrong car and got
off. Just then a blue car came in
from the south and started out Third
street, the direction he wanted to go.
1t didn't stop when he hailed it, but
he gave chase and succeeded in get
ting on. He was pretty warm
from his run and a few
, minutes later when he found himself
back at Sicher's again headed south,
he was mad, and as he got off again,
swore a little. Still he was bound to
go to East Sedalia, and seeing car
coming in from the south. with Thir.
teenth street and East Sedalia on the
top of it. he boarded it. This time he
felt that he was right. He settled
himself and began TO cool off: But
his heart sank as he passed Kaiser:
and he began to recognize building:
that he had passed on his previOu:
trips. and when he got back as far a;
Sicher's, he was mad enough To curse
his grandmother, and it took the com
bined powers of persuasion of the con
ductor and motorman 10 convince him
that If he STAYED on the car he would
finally land in East Sedalia.

In an Eastern city, recently, two
physicians were walking together on

hat to a lady whom they met. "A
patient?" asked the other. "Oh, in q
way" answered the first doctor: II
treated her the other day for a small
difficulty" "What was it?" "A wart
on the nose" ''And what did you pre-
scribe?" II ordered her to refrain abb
solutely from playing the piano" The
other doctor was astonished. Ordered
her to leave off playing the piano-for
a wart on the nose! Well, can't un-
derstand your treatment" If you
knew the circumstances. you would"
said the first doctor; ''she occupies the
fat just under mine"

Tor Nearly Ten Hours Not a Street Car
Runs in the Twin Cities.
There was a strike on the Lowry sys-
tenn of street railway in Minneapolis
and St. Paul the 18th. 1t was of short
duration, however, the employees gain
ing every point.
Several days ago the company pre-
sented a new form of contract for the
employees to sign. After due consider
alton of the same, and seeking legal
advice, the men concluded that the new
form imposed obligations upon them
that were unjust and unreasonable.
Under. it they thought they would be
held responsible for damages that
might occur to property and persons,
no matter how much care was exer-
cised. This the company denied. The
men could not see it in the same light
and after the last car was in on Satur-
day night meeting was held. BY
unanimous consent the contract was re-
fused and the men concluded to go out.
Sunday morning not a street car could
be seen. People either walked to
church or stayed at home. Parties who
had planned an outing at the lakes
abandoned the idea.
Early in the day Mayor Eustis visited
the headquarters of the workmen and
after counseling calmness he besought
the railway company. The result Of
his efforts was that the company with
drew the contract and at 2:45 the men
returned to work.
