AN ExAsPERATING PERSON.
The Woman Who Wanted to Go to
Georgetown and Met Reverses.

She was one Of those women best de-
| scribed by the term "exasperating female.
That Is to say she was not pretty, nor
| pleasing of manner or person. nor any 9TH
| er of those choice attributes that go with
| that sort Of female we love to call woman.
Neither was she young.
| Say anything else of a woman and be
| forgiven, but never this.
| She boarded a yellow of the Metro
| rolitan line at 14th and F streets and in
| two minutes vas scrapping with the con-
ductor because somebody left the door open.
Then she beckoned to him to come to Ler,
| and he thought she wanted him to stop The
| car. and he rang the bell. only to discover
| that she wanted him to come to her 50 she
might ask him some silly question or other.
By the time the car reached X street, the
| conductor would have surrendered half his
salary for just one good chance to have
| pushed that womans windpipe clear Jack
| against her cervical vertebrae and held 1t
| there till the coroner came, even If that
| fEnctionary didn't come for a month or six
weeks. But, Of course, he didn't dare do
| 1t. Neither did he dare ask her where she
| wanted to get off. and she hasn't said
| word to him about it.
He was sure by this time that she was
simply waiting to spring 1t on him. and
| then If he carried her two inches and half
past the crossing she going to let him
know what ne had done.
At Dupont Circle, the car swung around
and Jump and caught the conductor as he
| lodged.
| Il want to go to Georgetown" she ex-
| claimed.
Very well. madam. he responded with
| politeness and a sense of relief, you will
| have to get off of this car
| Why didn't you tell me so?'
| Il thought perhaps you knew it. madam"
| Don't be insolent. sir. or course l knew
| it, but why didn't you tell me this car didn't
| go to Georgetown when l got on?'
| Because you didn't ask me. madam"
| IT'S your business to know. SIR" and
| she bounced herself out; but she held onto
| the rail for final chat.
| How long will l have to wait here to
| get to Georgetown" she asked after the
| manner OF women asking clear and lucid
| questions.
| "A thousand years. madam" replied the
| conductor, ready to grasp at any straw Of
| revenge
| This almost paralyzed her.
| Observation-Disclosures do you mean?'
| she stammered.
| Just what l say, madam, and more
| You will never in the world get to George
! town II you wait here. Take the green car
| coming round the bend there and try that -
| and the conductor actually chuckled with
| gratified glee as his own slipped out of
| her grasp and away from the SOUND of her
| voice.

1t was the dead of the night in the capi-

] man. AS he came around into the avenue
! at the Peace monument he discovered a
man recur,bently reclining in a doorway.
| He was not long in shaking the lodger out

Il jest got here 'smorning," responded

The lodger rubbed his eyes and gazed

Didn't l tell you l Jest got here 'smorn-

Yes. but 1 don't see what that's got to

The lodser Strengthened up as best he
could.
You puffeckly sober?" he inquired.
Certainly laughed the officer. for his
find was evidently a member of the re-
spectacle classes. and he didn't want to be
too hard on him.
Then can't you see how 1 can't be home

"'Sthat the Capitol?" he asked less thick

The policeman assured the gentleman
from Ohio that he certainly was asleep at
that time. and then. feeling that the visi-

the Office he wanted would be his. he kind
ly started him in the direction of his hotel
and let him go.

THE REGULAR PRICE.

The Young Woman in the Case Had
Been Accustomed to Certain Price.
Again are we called upon to chronicle the
infinite superiority of the famous Washing
ton girl.
This time she has transferred the field of
her genius to New York city, where the
people think they know everything, and
about a thousand times much more, and
then some more.
She had boarded a street car UP town.
coming out Of store with her gloves off.
for some reason or other best known to
herself Possibly it was glove store.
Whatever 1t was. she had her gloves off.
ard 1t was proper and correct for her to
have them Off, or she would have had them
on.
There were not more than eight or ten
people in the car. and when she had taken
a seat she began to put her gloves on.
When they were both she took out OF
her pocketbook dainty little silver glove
buttoner and proceeded to button that one
on her left hand. In doing so the buttoner
slipped from her fingers and fell to the
floor of the car.
Immediately a chappie-looking young
man with the Rock of Gibraltar in his
face stopped to pick the buttoner up. and
having got it in his hands. he rose. smil-
ing. and much to her surprise, offered to
button the glove.
For an instant she acted about as the
average girl WOuIQ nave uOne, ana tnen the
Washingtonian genius came to her aid, and
smiling kindly. she held her hand out to
him in compliance with his request.
She sat perfectly unmoved as he took about
twice as long to it as there was any need
Of, and as soon as he had finished 1t she
calmly held out the other.
He didn't quite expect this, evidently,
but he had his nerve with him. and more
smiling than ever. he took Ter hand in his
and buttoned the other glove.
Taking the button hook from his unre-
sisting fingers, she took out her pocket
book to replace it. and finding in it
rickel, with the most innocent manner in
the world she handed 1t to the young man.
With all his nerve he couldn't stand this,
and he promptly Returned it, at the same
time making soWe kind of protest. which
she did not pay any attention to, but took
the coin back andhproffered dime in its
stead. This he also returned with quite q
show Of indignation.
Why" she exclaimed. with that same
beautiful artlessness. Il never give more
than ten cents at home to have my gloves
buttoned." d
Everybody i1nrthe car heard her say 1t.
of course. and before anybody had stopped
laughing the gallant glove buttoner had
escaped from the car and disappeared

THE POLITE DRUMMER.
Little Story of How His POliteness
Was Not Wasted.

Little Story of How His POliteness
Was Not Wasted.
A group of travelling men in the smoking
compartment of the Pullman car were talk
ing over various business peculiarities, and
the subject incidentally took in the ex-
clusiveness of the heads of certain large
and aristocratic firms. principally in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston
Il think 1 had about the oldest exper-
fence In that line once remarked Phil
adelphia drummer. when 1 first went on
the road l was only twenty-one. and, of
course, a man of that age can't have very
great weight or influence, either with the
firm or its customers. The result was that
1 didn't know a single member of our
hrm, even by sight, unless perhaps it was
the junior member. and all my dealings
were with the manager, to whom 1 looked
for position, pay, instructions and so on.
MY first trip out for the house lasted
three months, and in that time l had un-
usually good luck. and when I started
back to headquarters 1t was with full
belief that had made my record and the
future was In my own hands. But I
wasn't fresh: at least. not too fresh. At
breakfast on the train which would land
me at home late In the afternoon / sat
with an elderly gentleman. who was in
ciined to listen to my political, CONNER
cial and other opinions, and we became
quite good friends before the meal was
finished. After that he took one of my
cigars. which was better than the car
stock, and we continued our acquaintance
Before the day was done 1 had told him
pretty much all about myself and had dis
covered that he was going to Philadelphia
also. Who he was other than that he had
net communicated. though 1 had given him
my name early in the morning and had told
him with pride that represented the great
firm of x Y. z. & Co.
Just before we reached the station 1
gave him special invitation to call on me
at my place of business and 1 would be
glad to show him what there was to be
seen In town and pay for cold bottle as
slight token of my esteem.
Now. il you will be kind enough to give
me your name said 1, so 1 can leave a
