TIGHT SQUEEZE FOR SMITH.
All Because lie Wanted to Return Cents
He Was Taken For n Bunlxo Man.

He Was Taken For BunIxo Man.
Not to bc provided with small coin
sometimes leads TO embarrassing sit
uations ON the surface cars. A friend
of mine, whom /. shall call Smith,
had an experience the other day
which no will not soon forget, and
moro than a dozen passengers on

If they do not read the story, believ-
ing they saw genuine bunko man
trying to secure prey in the leading
thoroughfare in the city.
This Mr.. Smith boarded Broad
way car at Twenty-third street to go
to Canal street. When the conductor
asked for his fare, he searched
through all his pockets for a small
coin. Failing to find one, he took out
his pocketbook and handed the con-
ductor $40 bill.
II can't clS'nge that" said the
conductor coldly. Smith asked some
persons in the car to give him
change for the bill, but none seemed
able to do so.
do you want me to leave the
carp" asked Smith.
"You need not do that" said the
conductor, "but you should not ex-
pect a conductor to give change for
so large bill:
Then an old lady--one of those
good old souls you meet everywhere
made her presence known. Here,
Mr.. Conductor, she said, ''I'll pay
the mans fare. don't like to have
you stand it, as I'm afraid you will"
She handed the conductor cent
piece. He rang up the fare, and
Smith thanked her for her kind act.
Then no again started out to get
change for his bill. He had asked n
half dozen men to accommodate him
and had reached the forward end of
the car before he found one who
could or would make tho necessary
change Small bills and coins were
counted out in his hand while he
still held his own $40 bill. Just as
the last dime had been counted, and
before he had handed over his $40
bill. Smith happened tosee the kind
old lady leaving the car. Hoping to
catch up with her, he started for
ward with his own and the other
mans money held firmly in his
hand. 2
Hold on; you don'tgct away with
my money so easily as that!' shout
cd the man who had furnished the
change, while he grasped Smith by
the arm and pulled him roughly
around. Every passenger looked at
Smith with suspicion, and he was so
embarrassed he could not say word
for himself.
You are bunl1o man," was
plainly written on the face of every
one in the car, and Smith read the
words as plainly as though they had
been actually written. Tho men
seemed ready to assault him, and
the women crouched as far away
from him as possible. =

Barber shop conversation.
The man who shaves you has the repu-
tation, whether deserved or not, of being
a loquacious person. Has he been
encouraged by the patron? The barber
shop proprietor who recognizes the worth
OF simple courtesy and civility without
infiicting conundrums or unloading
his opinions of the day, is generally
looked upon as an example for the men in
his employ to pattern after. However that
may be 1t is fact that goodly portion
OF the patrons OF any barber shop prefer
an intermission to the usual routine COM
ment OF the day.
Henley q Sullivan are still continuing
their special clearance sale OF first class
standard gooda 10 Westminster street.
Can man do shopping?
Perhaps he can, but there precious few
instances chronicled where he ever made
a bowling success in that particular. 1t Is
not mans province to shop, not in the
sense it is understood by the gentler sex
A man may, when in particularly
agreeable mood, bring home the right
size glove for his wife, but the chances
are the shade will not be right. 1t is best,
therefore, to let the ladies do the shop
ping where it concerns themselves at
least, and it Is dollars to doughnuts that
the head OF the house would save money
IL more reliance was put in the wife re-
garding necessary purchases.
The Misfit Parlors are continuing their
auction sale this week. Prices all way be-

How to cook food.
The way to satisfy the average man
is to cater to his particular taste.
i'm regard to the manner in which he
wishes his food prepared. When the
order is given to have a steak clelrvoyant
or happy medium it does not mean excess
sively we'll done. The restaurant, board
ing house or hotel that prospers is the
one where tho order of a patron or guest
is needed.
Do unto others not as they have done
unto you-unless it has proven right.
Advice is free and for that reason it Is
not always taken.
A man may still live and his moustach he
dye.
Is man bent who is almost broke?
There is a wide difference between man. Is
place and Gods place.
Principal William Il. Wilson OF the
State normal school resurrected some Old
jokes recently. One was about the willy
advertiser who agreed, upon receipt OF
30 cents, to tell how to make a
little money GO great way, and in re-
spcnse to susceptible correspondents
mailed the advice to "put five cents in an
envelope ana send 1t TO San Francisco" /"
Another was that the goodness of a
good egg can never equal the badness of a
bad egg"
Regarding the first proposition it might
well be advised nowadays to advertise
in a reliable newspaper.
