Our Street Car System.

David Christie Murray, contra sting the
Wanted national courtesy of America
with the whole system of public travel
ing" finds that There is 10 considera-
ton for women displayed by either the
railway companies or the people who
run the enormously profitable and
asteundingly inconvenient cars y
This American people is the most patient
and long-sufferihg that was ever known.
1t has no resentment for intru-
sion upon it's liberties. In every
car which plies in the streets of every
great city | have as yet visited in this
country, there is such intermingling Of
promiscuous male and female limbs and
figures as might be tolerated for an hour
at time OF enormous emergency, in
another country, but would III no other
country | have ever visited be endured
as a system for q single week.

Electric Freak in a Church.

Recently there was an eclipse of the
electric light at Elm Road Baptist
Chapel, Southsea, and, curiousiy enough,
the pastor had chosen for his texts
Proverbs lxxiv., 20, 'TThe candle of the
wicked shall be put out" and Psalm
XVIII, %, For Thou wilt light my can
die; the Lord my God will enlighten my
Darkness combination rather cruel to
the electric light, for when the lights
were out some Of the congregation went
out also, and obtained candles and lamps
whereupon services proceeded. The pas
tor could not conveniently change his
texts, in consequence of what had hap
pened, and he may have been prepared
for the general litter which followed
their announcement Lately some,
what similar case occurred in an Ameri.
can church, and the amusement was
heightened by the action of a deacon
who absently -mindedly lighted a match
and applied it to one of the electric
lights

THE OLD HEN FARMER.
He Warned the Railway Engineer to Run
Slow Past His Place.

He Warned the Railway Engineer to Kan
Slow Past His Place.
When the c.. & O. railroad was CON
structed along the Ohio river many farms
were necessarily divided. This greatly
angered the farmers, regular hayseeds
from away back"
The road passed between the house
and poultry yard of a farmer named Left.
The old fellow did not like it very much,
and he took advantage of every occasion
to speak i'll of the ''darned old contrap-
ton for hauling stuff"
When the road was finally completed
and the first train went rafting along
the fowls in Mr.. Left's poultry yard be-
came frenzied with fright. AS many of
the geese, ducks, chickens, etc, as were
able, flew over the fence and wandered
away in the woods. Those who could not
fly endeavOred to force their way through
the cracks in the fence. Some succeeded
in escaping in this way, others only man
aged to break their necks.
Mr. Left had witnessed the havoc
among his poultry, and to say he was
mad is only to put it mildly.
He went to the barn and painted a
huge board with fiery red brick paint.
When this was dry he took shoe backing
and painted a notice after his own heart.
A stake was driven into the ground near
it.
''That'Il fetch 'em," growIed the farm,
er, as he leaned against the fence and
awaited the results of his labor.
A rattle, rattle, rattle soon gave evil
dence of an approaching train. A cloud
Of black smoke was next seen and then
the engine appeared coming around the
curve about two miles up the track.
The engineer caught a glimpse of the
red sign, and fearing all manner of dan
ger, reversed his engine and signaled to
put on brakes. Slowly the momentum of
the train was checked and it came to q
rest a few yards from the farmer.
Great heavens" yelled the engineer.
whats the matter? Where's the dan
ger?''
81 reckon you kin read" cody replied
the farmer as he jerked his thumb over
his shoulder toward the sign.
Great was the amazement and anger
of the engineer as he turned to the sign
and read: run slow by Left's lot; you'll
