"But you have taken ~ cents off the

A CABLE CAR COMEDY.
The Passengers Became Frantic With Am

The Passengers Became Frantic With AM
ger, but Their Anger Was Ill Timed.
1t was at Broadway and Thirty third
street that very young and very pretty
girl, her face flushed with anger, boarded
| cable car. Behind her there followed a
gilded youth, wearing top hat and a
long coat, with flower In the buttonhole
The pretty girl sat down in the left hand
seat nearest the front door of the car, and
the gilded youth sat down directly oppo-
site her and regarded her with pleasant
| smile, whereat the pretty girls face be-
same deeper and angrier red. This did
not seem to feaze the youth a particle,
and ne continued to regard her with fas-
cinating grin that attracted the attention
OF several OF the other passengers on the
car.
When the conductor made his rounds,
the young lady fumbled in her purse for
her fare, and the young man produced a
dime, remarking, "Two, please The
conductor, who had not observed the con-
ditions under which the pair had entered,
rang up two fares, whereupon the pretty
girl put up her purse aAd stared at the
floor, her eyes filling with indignant tears.
The young man continued to gaze at her
attentively with the same amused smile
that he had worn since he entered the car,
and several of the passengers, who had
been watching him, instinctively clinched
their fists and awaited an opportunity to
take the pretty girls part.
The girls glance continued to be fas-
tened upon the floor, and she bit her lips,
while the gilded youth kept his eyes upon
her. The car had reached Fortieth street,
however, before any onarame to her res
cue. Then q white haired old gentleman
sisnaled to the conductor, who had become
cognizant Of the state of affairs and was
regarding the young man with some dis
pleasure.
Conductor, said the old gentleman as
that officer came to the front of the car,
s''just put that young ruffian off. have
daughters myself, he added to the rest Of
the passengers, who looked their approval,
land won't see young lady insulted in
this manner
'If the conductor doesn't put him off .
observed another gentleman, "I'll do it
myself"
The conductor rang the bell for the car
to stop and addressed the offending youth
Come, now, get off the car" be said.
What forf' asked the young man,
oeasing to smile.

ger who had spoken before.
IF one Of you lays hand on me, - re-
sponded the gilded youth, .I'll break his
wooden head. That girl is my sister, and
she's mad because I wouldn't take her to
the matinee this afternoon, that's all.
I "And wish you'd all attend to your
own affairs!' exclaimed the pretty girl as
she burst into tears. And then the con-
ductor rang the bell, and the car started.

Pleased With Pattison.

New York, February ia Philadel-
phia special says: 1.-THE Democratic lead
ers of this state are much pleased at the
manner in which the suggestion of the
nomination of ex-Gov. Robert E. Patti
son for the Presidency has been received
in many parts of the country, as we'll
as in Pennsylvania. 1t is stated upon
good authority that even those who from
time to time oppose the regular orga-
nization of the party in the Safe, admit
the strength Of Gov. Pattison, and that
no opposition will be made to him in
the Democratic state convention. 1t is
expected that the convention will unani-
mousiy declare for him and that d ele-
national convention that will loyalty sup
port Mr.. Pattison's candidacy for the
Presidency"

A Malicious Misinterpretation.

Pat Alexander, to whom Shirley"
makes reference in his $Aemoirs, was
well known in Glasgow and Edinburgh
for his eccentricities. On one occasion
he met DR.. William Chambers on the
North bridge, Edinburgh, and asked
him excitedly, "Have you found her?"
Found whom?'' "That woman you
were advertising for. =" "Womani /
saven't been advertising for any wom-

Second Adventists Want a Clause to Cover

for a life insurance company 70 use in

ed. vet this is the clause which a Sec
ond Adventist would have. to take
the place of the clause now used re-
garding the time life insurance com
pany should pay the amounts due un-
der its policies.
a Mr.. r. II. Ramsey has prepared
and copyrighted a number Of clauses
which he desires 70 be Inserted or at

policies issued by the cOmjanies. He
calls them second advent life insur-
ance clauses" and would have them
used on policies Of all who believe that
they VII be caught UP in the air 70

Christ
Mr.. Ramsey believes that the pres
ent system OF life insurance is defective
and that there should be a system
founded on the teachings Of the Bible.
He has issued policy form Of contract
Of the Second Advent Life Insurance
company but. realizing that many Of
the Second AdventstS have, and will
continue TO have. insurance in other
corpanies. he has very thOughtfuIly
looked out for their interests by con-
srrueing these clauses. Mr.. Ramsey

WHY BLUE FOUGHT FRANKLIN
George Anthony Says it Was Because He
Was in the Mcclellan Gang.

Topeka, Kan, April 17-George T.
Anthony is with Dick Blue in his fight

''The contest now being waged upon
the floor of congress over the reappoint-
ment of General w. B. Franklin, as a

from causes little in public view at this
time, and hardly suspected of involving
causes and conditions far antedating
the existence of soldiers home for vol
unteer veterans in this country. 1t is in
reality but a new phase of an old fight,
the prolongation of a politico-military
oontest that existed all during the war
Of the rebellion, often bringing the
Union cause 10 the very door of death.

vided the country and came so near

dared TO accept the place OF their idol.
''The memory Of many a veteran will
