FAULTY FINANCiERING.
Failure of q Suddenly Devised Plan
to Save Street Car Fare.

Failure of q Suddenly Devised Plan
to Save Street Car Fare.
There is man somewhere on the
South side who knows more about the
theory and practice of finance than he
did n few days ago and all he did to gain
the knowledge was to jump off a street
car and pick up a nickel which he saw
lying on the street, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Relating the circumstances later to a.
friend he said:
Its funny what fools some men are.
l saw that nickel after had paid my
fare, and my first thought was that if L
jumped off and picked it up it would
make up for the nickel had already
given the conductor. Having plenty of
time I did so. Of course l missed the
car which 1 had originally boarded and
paid my fare. When the conductor
came around on the following car I
surrendered my new-found nickel with
serene and satisfactory belief that my
ride had hot cost me anything, having
paid for it with the nickel found in the
street
Then l began TO figure little. The
more / tried to solve the problem in
mathematics the more deeply became
involved. AS an actual fact l had to
count my change before l discovered
that had not only saved a nickel, but
that had contributed ten cents to the
company's Golfer and was still nickel
out of pocket"

1t Was q Lady Who Might Have Been
His Wife.

A rather unique instance OF absen
mindedness occurred the ether evening
on the Jefferson avenue car line, says
the Detroit NewsTribuGe.
The car was well filed with passen-
gers and Us a stop was made at Nc
Dougall avenue a man stepped off the
back platform, where he had been stand
ing, and the car moved on.
Instantly Il wild cry went up from
the late passenger, which broadened
into a howl of despair rs the distance
between him and the trolley car
widened. AS he shrieked he also ran
and waved his hands frantically. The
conductor, seeing the shadowy form
in the dimness of the night and hear
ing the unearthly cries, pulled the bell
strap and thus induced the motorman
to halt, which he did with jerk. The
man in pursuit came within hailing
distance.
"Vhat dye want?" shouted the
puncher of pasteboards.
II -the--Iady-in there.'
gasped the man, swinging his hat 1T
the open car door. The car having
come to a dead standstill, n woman
arose, deliberately walked cut of the car
and was received by her GREATNESS es-
cort, who had so nearly left her to her
fate of missing parcels.
Amid much laughter The next man
who left the car in company with lady
insisted that. she walk in front of him
until safely on the ground.

CAMEl'S EXPERIENCE.
Sat Down So Much That His Hin'
Legs Became Useless.

Sat Down So Much That His Hind
Legs Became Useless.
A large camel which was landed al
IIoboken a few days ago from the
Bremen lire steamer Dresden had an
experience which probably never before
fell to the lot of ship of the desert"
He made the voyage in large box,
ind as there wasn't room enough in 1t
fol any self-respectinga animal the camel
sat down in sheer disgust. He sat that
way for days and days while the ship
rolled and made all sorts of heavy
weather.
When the detected animal was finally
landed and tried to stand up, he couldn't
use his rear props at all. They had be-
come paralyzed with their long stay in
cramped position. The camel wasn't
any good, it seemed, and, as big price
had been paid for him, there was gen
eral lamentation. The camel was "in"
on the lamentation. Such picture of
woe was never seen in Hoboken.
At last a genius suggested radical
cure. The camel, by his advice, was
placed in a sling and hoisted up until
only his toes touched the ground. He
padded the air for a spell with his fore
legs, and finally the rear props came to
life and joined in the exercise. They
lowered him TO the floor, and, after he
had tested his rear legs somewhat gin
gerly, he was as good as new. But he
doesn't sit down any more. Once was
enough for him.

POOR BARONETS.

Some of Them Are Always Coming
to Grief.
Mr.. Labouchere' sarcastic reference
to this lowest rank of the English hered-
itary titled order, 'baronets and the
criminal classes" seems so very, very
apt, says recent London letter in an
exchange. Baronets insist upon going
wrong all the time. There are at least
half-dczen absolutely disreputable
baronets proving about the Strand at
:his moment. cadging for shillings, free
meals and free drinks. If they can
manage to preserve decent outward
appearance existence is not so difficult.
Their titles appeal to the man who
has never been on familiar terms with
anything in the shape of title before.
But the delight of knowing "a noble
man soon passes when the succession
of small loans and ger "ral sporr.Hg l.;

NOT AN INTERPRETER.

Testimony That Was Too Much for
the Lawyers.
IL a dispute between the Indians and
the cannery men, according to the Sc
attic Post-Intelligencer,a Mr.. March
was called as a witness, and the way
IN which he gave his testimony proved
puzzling to the lawyers.
How long have you been in this part
of the country, Mr.. March,"
Forty, forty-hve, fifty, fifty-five
years"
"Fifty-fve years." said the lawyer,
and then, as if he were addressing
Christopher Columbus, he asked:
And what did you discover, Mr..
March?"
~ dark-visaged savage
..Dark-visaged savage, Ell? Yes, and
what did you say to him.?
II said it was fine day"
Fine day? Yes, and what did he
say to you?"
Mr.. March ratified off a whole yarn
in Chinook, and kept on, to the mirth
of the whole courtroom, until per-
emptorily cut off by the gavel of the
judge.
II asked you what reply the savage
made to you, Mr.. March. Please answer
the question" said the irate cross-ex-
aminer.
Il was answering"
Tell us what the savage said"
That was what he said"
Then tell it to Us in English
Not unless 1 am commissioned by
the court to act as an interpreter and
paid the customary fec"
The lawyer thought a moment, looked
at the judge, who could not resist a
smile, and said, severely: 'Mr. March
YOU may stand down."

MOTOR CARS IN MODERN WAR.
British Military Men ENGAGED in Ex-
DlOiting q Novel Feature.

British Military Men ENGAGED in En-
plotting a Novel Feature.
British military men are discussing
very seriously the possible uses in war
of the motor car-not of the imperfect
motor at which cabmen have jeered,
but of some idealized and perfected
motor car the pattern of which is still
laid up in the brain. of an inventor. Mr..
Thornycroft, the torpedo boat builder,
has already made some successful trips
in what he calls a steam van, and is
not without hopes of improving upon
his idea. Where good roads exist Il
trustworthy motor car might be made
to do excellent service in carrying pro-
visions and ammunition. In q modern
battle it might we'll seem to be as much
out of place as Queen Boadicea's
scythed chariots, but it might be made
useful as kind of movable hospital
and for the conveyance of the wounded
to the rear. Armor plated and fur
nished with Maxims or other light and
quick-fring guns, the car might con-
ceivably be used to charge an enemy.
Caran D'Ache several months ago made
what he calls "Automobilism in War"
q subject of one of his caricatures. He
imagines an automatic clockwork sol
der running on wheels and serving
the double purpose of stallling-horse
and carrier of soldiers kit.
