BUILDING FOR OTHERS.
What II build for Others,

What II build for Others,
And the walls OF the building stand
Long after am forgotten
By the dwellers within the land
Long after the buildings have crumbled
That were founded upon the sand?
What if / build for others
And the building shelters me not,
And within the home have bGilded
shall have no part or lot,
And the dwellers who have their homes ther
Through all time shall know me not?
Yet when the years shall have faded,
And beneath the roof trees shade
The children of generations
In their childish days have played,
And have passed from under the roof tree
And vanished into the shade,
Some dweller beneath the roof tree,
Thinking when it was new,
May say as his thoughts turn backward,
Keeping its age in view,
"1he builder who built this building
Builded better than he knew"
And l, though have passed onward,
Hearing the Masters call,
May know, though it may not matter
To me what the building befall.
1t is better TO have builded for others
Than not TO have built at all.

WOMEN GET OFF CARS BACKWARD.
They Are Usually Thinking of Walking
Back Over the Route.

! Back Over the Route
| After the woman had rolled over tive
or three times in the dust and made d
voluminous display of lingerie, she strug
| gled TO her feet. Her face was very red,
/ her back hair was terribly mussed and
! her dTaperies in most inartistic disorder.
She scornfully refused TO give her name
to the conductor, who rushed to her as
sistance, and would not say whether she
was hurt. As she turned TO walk away
the conductor whistled "go ahead" and
smiles began to show among the passen'
gers.
shes like all the re-. of 'em, was the
contemptuous commeh, of the conductor
as he jumped on the car.
Il never knew a conductor who
stopped his train at the right place, u
sneered fat woman who overheard the
conductors remark Its the greatest
wonder in the world that more people
are not killed by the carelessness of them
conductors. They haven't bit of ac-
commodation in their souls"
Did you hear that woman? inquired
another passenger. ''She blames the
conductor for that woman's tumble and
will in all probability alight from the
car backward when she reaches her
destination. l have been a close OBJ
server of this perverse habit of women
who ride on the street cars, and believe
that l have solved the problem.
why do they turn their faces the
wrong way? | saw a theory advanced
the other day in newspaper that left
handed women were never seen TO take
tumble because their stronger arm
aided them to retain their balance when
alighting. But it really makes no differ
ence whether woman is left or right
handed She gets on car and tells the
conductor to let her off at Twenty-frst
street. She has been down town shop
ping and is in hurry to reach home.
''All the time the cable is pulling her
homeward she keeps thinking of how
much she will have to do when her jour
ney is ended. The conductor yells
'Twenty-frst street,
''She is aroused with start from her
study, intent only on getting off the car.
You have noticed, no doubt, that cable
train always passes a crossing before it
stops. There is the whole secret of
woman's many tumbles. She would be
safe and happy if the conductor would
only stop the train so she could step off
at the right spot exactly. But the car
passes the crossing, and unconsciously
she turns her face in the direction she
wishes to 60 If she would wait until
the car stops all would be well, but the
thought that she is being carried past her
destination makes her hurry. Before the
car stops, she thinks of the few extra
steps she will have to take if she is
carried any farther and jumps off.
You know the rest, and there is the true
reason why SO women in 100 get off
street car backward. The Tooth woman
is on the rear seat of the last car and
