''Cabby" Knew . Thing or Two


A cab was driven to the Twenty
fourth street entrance of the Hoff-
man House, and two young men,
evidently in the third stage of a
spree, got out and walked toward
the entrance. Both were laughing
and apparently enjoying a huge
joke.
Wait for us, driver. ~ said one as
the doors swung behind them.
The driver looked after them,
while a look of deep wisdom came
into his face. which was emphasized
when he laid his finger alongside of
his nose in a knowing manner.
He didn't wait-there. He got on
his box and hurriedly drove around
to the Broadway entrance and drew
up to the curb just as the two young
men made their exit.

or a local accommodation train the 9th

tralnmen and "a quiet, mild hammered
man. whose dress indicated that be was

ed, and finally the talk turned to deeds
OF physical courage and just how much
pain a man could stand without finch
ing. Each related some incident. tell.
ing OF the bravery Of either himself or
some friend. and finally some one asked
the minister what deeds of prowess he
had ever performed.
None" was the reply, "but often it
is not the bravest man who performs
great deeds. It is often harder to con-
troll oneself than to bear physical pain. -
The crowd smiled a cynical, sarcas-
tic smile, and finally some n ventured
the emark in an undertone that one
could not expect any more from a preach
er. and then they all laughed.
Although the remark was lot intend
ed for his ears, the minister heard it.
and, Strengthening up, said to the man
who had spoken:
"Sir, you have insulted me and nv
profession. Now, to show you that I
am as game a nan as any one of you,
and that l can stand as much physical
pain as the next man. I propose that
you and l make a test of physical en-
durance right here"
"What kind of trial?' inter- united
the man.
WELL" continued the minister, "it
is rather undignified in me, but if you
consent / will make it that you and I
stick pins into our right legs until one
OF us cries enough"
The man turned pale. He was game,
but he knew full we'll that a contest of
that kind was apt to lay either contest
ant up for several weeks. So he argued
that a contest of this kind was impossi-
BILE. The minister insisted; he would
have that OF none, and if the man back
ed down he would tacitly admit in the
presence of all in the car that he was a
coward.
While they had been talking the train
was rapidly approaching a town, and
all at once the brakeman yelled, "Shel-
byvillev'
"This is my station. l must get off
here" exclaimed the man who had
challenged the minister, and amid the
smiles Of the crowd he left the train.
BY and by n Of the men approached
the preacher and said:
You re a game man and a good one
too. I'm no coward, but 1 wouldn't do
what you wanted to do"
"You would not be afraid if you we're

cloth, with a merry twinkle in his eye.

man " a fisherman. A fisherman
can sail your boat and keen her
shipshape, but she will still look
like a mackerelman.
II remarked that there is no eti.

of yacht life. Any yachtsman al

a fleet and comes to anchor whether
the skipper is to yachts deck born
or whether he has stubbed around
in a coaster and drawn the lines
over a fisherman. 1t is Just the
same as in a ballroom. You can tell
the novice.
Take the etiquette of flags. Of
course the owner has his private sig
nal. either square, swallow tail or
triangular. Then he will have his
club pennant and of course the reg.
ular yacht flag, Other flags are for
decorative purposes.
eff he is cruising, he carries the
yacht flag Gan ensign with a foul

flying at the peak. If he is lying in
port, he flies the yacht flag at the
flagstaff above the boom on the
t~affrail, or if he has no Flagstaff he
has it on a leader to the topping lift.
When the owner is aboard, the own.
er's signal is flying. When he is
ashore, a blue flag should fly at the
crosstrees on the starboard side.
When he is at his meals, fly a white
square flag in place of the blue.
When the crew is at table, fly little
triangular red flag on the port side.
A schooner yacht always flies both
the yacht club and private signals.

why the Corsair did not answer the
