CASE OF POT AND KETTLE.
Spicy Little Talk Between the Lawyers I'm
q Policy Trial


A good natured colIoguy took place FRI
day between Prosecuting Attorney MulIow-
ney, Lawyer Moss and a witness, before
Judge Miller during the trial Of Ephraim
France and Sylvester Pye, two old colored
men charged with promoting policy.
Samuel Nelson was on the stand as an en-
pert on the game. In examining him Mr..
3ullowney used some questions that Attorney
Moss did not Ike.
why. you're leading this witness about
like a lamb. - he cried. ''You might as well
get on the stand yourself and testify that
there Is policy gambling across the river"
well isn't It a facr2' asked the prosecuting
attorney.
''Oh. I've seen Mr.. Moss over there lots of
times broke in the witness.
That's ali right" returned Mr.. Moss"
'Mr. MulIowrey has been over there too
But that was on business purely" spoks
up Mr.. NullOwney.
France had been arrested by Policeman
Muller while about TO cross the Long Bridge,
and a number of policy slips were found IN
him. He implicated Pye, who was subse-
Quently arrested.
When France had appeared on the stand
on his own behalf, he was questioned by
Judge Miller.
DO you know the stealing or the police
row." he asked.
NO sir"
How about the District attorneys row?''
II don't know that, either, sir"
There's Judge Miller row. too, volun-
teered Mr.. Mullowney, and a smile went
around the courtroom
The jury convicted the prisoners, and Pye
was sent TO Jail for ninety days, while France
was fined $50.

l look at the great sleek, soulless engine
that is pulling us, at the tremendous driving
wheels, the great boiler, and the cruel look

assuredly jump If 1 saw such another bearing
down on us.
"I'd pull the sandbox handle" say, "put
on the brakes here, reverse the engine, and
jump"
The engineers approval of my idea en-
boldens me to ask if he thinks women would
make good engineers. No, he does not think
so. 1t is not woman's place. 1t requires
actual strength. endurance. and nerve, and
women couldn't do it. However. 1 can't

eyes to get the dust out. A white post tears
a cash of sound in the night as we pass it.

whistling post. Whistle for a crossing"
The crossing whistle in the code is two long
blasts, followed by two short ones. 1 reach
up to the whistle rope which hangs above me
and give the required signal. The whistle
sounds appalingly loud.

She was indeed magnificent creature, and
when she got on the Fourth avenue ear every
body turned to look at her. An elderly lady,
already in the car, knew the gorgeous erea-
tion, and made way for her at her side, says
the New York Sun The PhiIiistine Of car
conductor bru tally asked her for q fare. and
she paid him like an ordinary mortal.
She wore a white doeskin cape, 4 soft gray
dress, and black hat OF cavalier proportions
The thick coils of her bronze-black hair were
transfxed with happy tortoise shell pin wrig
gly shape; the brow under the shadow OF ner
hat was broad and Junoesque, and the eyes
beneath the shadows of her brows were ike
two limped brown pools. Her nose was
an American classic; the upper lip curled
back like the petal of white nyaciHth, and
her mouth was as tender as q young girls

TICKET cHoPP6R WAS POLITE
4 Passenger Forgot 70 Deposit Her Ticket,
but He Didn't Shout at Her.

1--WE hear good deal said about the dis
courtesy of elevated road employees, and
sometimes we witness examples OF it, said
lawyer the other day to a New York Times
man, ''but am coming to the belief that if
fair census was taken an equal number of in
stances of kindness and courtesy would be
discovered. The other day 1 quite admired
the bearing of the ticket chopper at Four
teenth street and Sixth avenue uptown. A
young woman of striking appea ance, with
coppery hair and brilliant color, passed
through from the ticket window with a ticket
in her hand. She did not drop it in the box,
and, still holding it. passed far along the
platform and stood waiting for her train.
Now, according to the theory most COM
monty exploited. the chopper should have
shrleked after her and compelled her TO de
pObit the ticket. 1t was his business to pro-
tect the interests OF his employers, and to do
that he should have got the ticket, even II ne
had TO wrest it from her by force. But he
said nothing, quietly sat- occasionally turn
ing to glance at her. She stood, quite uncon-
scious. watching the approaching train, when
she suddenly started with surprise, finding
the ticket still in her hand. She hurried back
to the box and dropped it in and apologIzed
to the chopper.
EXCUSE me- she said, I am but just back
from a long summer in the country and quite
forgot to drop the ticket. / have become ua-
used to city ways
''The chopper made tumble at his cap.
It's all right. ma am he replied, pleasantly;
Il knew it was Il mistake on your part and as
soon as you found it out you'd put the ticket
in.
''What I admired was his power of discrim-
ination between the willfuliy and the absent
mindedly negligent, and MS readiness to
adapt his manner to the latter class when he
perceived it. To a real deadbeat he might
have gone in for rhetorical biliingsgate, but
he was able to discriminate, and he exercised
his ability. To possess that ability and to
use it think goes far toward making one a
gentleman"

see light in the upper window OF farm
house and my mind coniules up visions of
the farmers wife, worn out with the weeks
toll, sitting up late on Saturday night to make
ready the children's clothes for church to-
morrow. Or perhaps one of the little ones is
sick and the mother wakes. But even as
look the light goes out and know that the
tired woman has gone to rest. The dark
fields seem to swing on a great wheel, the
axle somewhere in the middle ground, and
across the silence the big train roars along.
We pass little village and one of the houses
is ablaze with light. Somebody is giving a
party and picture John and Jenny pausing
by the window to watch the train go by, little
thinking of the woman on the engine who is
wondering about them.
NOTES OUT OF THE QUESTION.
The fireman sets funny little lamp with
painted red chimney on top the boiler and
puts a smoking light beside it for me TO take
notes by, but notes are entirely out of the
question, for even if there were light enough
to see by. the jar of the engine would make
writing impossible So point to every part
There are three dials on the boiler to indicate
the steam pressure and the water supply. The
fireman explains that from the boiler a steam
pipe runs into the tender. where it registers
the amount OF steam it carries away. and so
on back into the train to keep the passengers
warm. He seems to take it for granted that
l understand just how the whole thing is ar
ranged, though it is about as clear to me as a
page of Sanscrit.
At the left side of the boiler is a pipe with a
lever at the top, which, at the fireman S order,
turn. He tells me to put my hand on the
pipe. 1t is hot, but suddenly it grows cold.
and / realize that water is running into the
boiler. similar pipe is at the engineers
left hand.

man says, coming back after filling the fur
mace with coal again. "Come down on the

wouldn't for worlds confess how afraid 1
am to move. 1t seems impossible to step from
the cab to the tender without being thrown
off into space. My heart comes up into my
throat cling to the rods at each side the
cab door.
Don't let 90 of me, - beg of the fireman.

The fireman moves what looks like the grip
mans lever on a cable car. 1t is at the right
side OF the tender There is a hiss of flying
water and back of the coal l see a fountain
Of spray flung up into the air. We have
scooped up water from the long shallow
trough on the track between the rails, and
have replenished the tank without even
sackening speed.

The fireman climbs back over the coal and
shuts the lid OF the tank, and then comes to
