isn't the Passengers eere Disgnsted an1
Got on the Car.


ISN'T the Passengers were Dssgnsted ansz
Got on the Car.
When a Saginaw trolley car gets the
dumps, which sometimes happens
with the best regulated system, every
man. woman and thi.0 aboard gets
mad at once. The indignation meet
ing is generally presided over by a fat
man, who is in hurry to get some-
where. AS soon as assured that some
thing is wrong he rises UP and shouts
at the conductor:
What's the matter. sir--what's
wrong with this car
Current is off, is the reply
''But what business has the current to,
be off when | pay for the current be-
ing on2"
Yes. what business ?? demand five or
six other passengers in cnorus.
7 don't run the current. replies the
conductor, as he tries to whistle and
makes a failure of it.
But who does sir--who does p de-
mands the fat man, as he begins to
perspire.
in a shout from all the passengers, ana
woman in mourning stands up and
adds:
Some one ought to do something!
Are we to be kept here all day I? never
ride on this line Elt what get caught |
like this!"
Same heres' chorus OF twenty

nearer the conductor and exclaims:
Sir, do you realize that every soul
on this car has an action for damages
against you? Why don't you find out
what is wrong with the CURRENT"
Yes; why don't you find out?'' shout
The others.
How can / find out?'' answers the
conductor as that tired feeling
weighs him down.
If | run car, then I'd run it. or
give up my sob" says young man
away up in the front
so would / Yes. you bet would"
Then the fat man rises up and points
his finger at the conductor and says:
Young man, I'm going to get off,
but don't think | shall drop this mat
ter herei No, sir! snail put down the
date, and take the case into court, and
If you lose your job, don't blame me-
And don't blame mel. shouts every
passenger, as rush is made from the
car.
When the last one is off the condue-
tor humsan air. but 1t is a poor hum. He
winks at the motorman, but it is a lame
wink. He starts to whistle. only to-
stop it short, and finally takes a seat
on the railing, humps up his back, and
decides that suicide is morally and
legally right.

I'VE had considerable prognosticat-
in as you might call it, here this
mornin about that ganglin twelve Year
old nephew Of mine, remarked the lO-s
quacious landlord of the Pettyyille
tavern. You see, he stood around for
quite spell with his lip hangin down
while his aunt was bakin bread, and
when she asked him what the matter
was ne said he'd been thinkin' that If,
when he grew to be a man and got
married. he should become the father
the oven when nobody was lookin' and
go to sleep in there and somebody
should build fire and rost EN- alive.
now awful it would be.
W'a'al wife came and told us about
it here in the office. She was a good
deal worked, for she thought it showed
that the boy was eommencin to see
sorrow very early and that this was
only the beginnin Of a long life of woe
for him. Women-folks are kinder that
way, you know; they pear to git genu-
inc pleasure out OF lookin for trouble.
There were several gents settin' around
and they all expressed their opinions.
Professor Switchell, the schoolmaster,
said the lad was destined to become
chronic pessimist. Old Ezry Hornbeak
chuckled that in his opinion the boy
would turn but to be prominent Popu-
ist. A drummer said that it looked a
good deal To him as if he'd be writer
for the comic papers. Several others
spoke up, some sayin' that he'd be this
and others that he'd be something
else
Wa'al, gentleman, says I, when
they had all got through and it was
my turn to take the floor, he may be
any or all of them things later in life
for all know, but am dead certain
what he'll be jest as soon as I can git
time to attend to his case. He'll be
takin sulphur and molasses in big. able
bodied doses till the fool ideas and
other humors are all driven out OF his
blood
That's what said"

81 wish that you were dead
AS beautiful Marjorie Montclair
spoke these words she deity tossed her
head in the air and passionately stamp
ed the ground with her feet. which
though well shaped rwere slightly In
clined to embonpoint.
All, she little knew how In after
years she would regret those words and
wish that they had never been spoken.
CHAPTER II.
Many was the chocolate drop and
ice cream soda that raven haired Glen
Ridge had bought Marjorie Montclair,
FOR they had been sweet-hearts from
childhood. But chocolates and sodas.
together with many another favor that
had cost real money, were forgotten in
the heat of passion.
Alas, if lovers could only have the
veil of the future rent in twain and
see the woe worked by hasty utter
ances.
CHAPTER III.
With Marjories cruel words still
ringing in his ears, intensified by some
quinine he had taken the night before
Glen Ridge left the place.
Il wish that you were dead!' she
had cried
He had but one thought. and that to
obey her-tc obey the red-Iipped, blue
eyed rebeIlious little fairy who held ais
heart strings in such despotic clutch.

Those that came in the morning
found him stark and stiff. mis- face still
distorted with the agony of the death
struggle.
