LADY OR CONDUCTOR.
1t Wns nm Open Question as to Which
Was Duped by the Male
Passenger.

The conductor on Madison street
cable had taken up the fares and was
posing on his end of the car when d
man approached him, and, pointing to
a woman in one of the front seats,
;skeG:
See that WOmID?'
YES" answered the official, in the
customary surly tone. What Of
her:"
1T. bet you dollar that if you
ask ler for her fare again she'll pay
it,
"Not much. It's hard work to get
one fare out of women passengers, let
alone two.'
Bet you a dollar
The conductor looked uneasy. I'D
get fred" he said, land lose my job.
1he woman would report me-"
NO, she wouldn't. That woman is
my wife, and want to get off joke
on her, she's so absent-minded. Go
ahead and win the bet"
".AlI right" said the conductor, and
as he passed through the car he
stopped in front of the passenger and
neld out his hand.
Fare, please"
lie had an apology on the tip of his
tongue, bu, after one glance at him
the woman said "Oh," and opening her
pocke,book produced 4 nickel, which
She laid in his hand. He went back
to the man who had prompted him and
said: There: I've won the bet"
I'll bet you dollar that you can
collect fare a third tme,' said the
man.
The blood of the conductor was up
II never take Il dare,' he said, but II
Won weren't her husband I'd see you
| further before I'd risk her catching me
at it,
He waited until the cars had gone
en- six blocks further and some new
passengers boarded them, when he
collected their fare and held out hi:
hand to the absent-minded woman.
Fare, please"
Shc looked at him in dazed way
"Haven't l paid my fare? Why, how
funny" and searching in her pocket
book she found another nickel ant
gave it to him.
Witing the perspiration from hi
hardened brow, the conductor wen
back to the man on the platform
"Give these to your Wife" he said; I"
haven't any right to them," and h'
laid two nickels in the mans hand
land I'll take my two dollars"
But he didn't. The man swung him
self off the car and disappeared up
side street, and now the conducto
would give two dollars to know wheth
er he was worked for the price of ;
drink, and If the woman was hypno
| tized. or if it was a bet between twt
outside parties, or what sort of put
up scheme it was, nyway.-Chicag

themselves, as they were called by our

and therefore more or less vulgar. Now,
however, the rocking chair is even
more popular In England than in Ameri-
q, and people may rock as uaro as they
like without criticism. In fact, from

"Amerioan rockers" have . decided

RECONClLING THE CUBANS.

RECoNClLING THE CUBANs.
From Santiago il - reported
that General Lawton, the military
head of that department, has
placed three Cuban. colonies on
his staff and is putting other Gu.
ban officers lin some responsible
civil positions in the territory
coded to the United States.
There is no doubt that this is the
correct policy. Both General
Lawton, head Of the department
Of Santiago do Cuba and General
Wood, the military governor Of
the city of Santiago, have oppor.
tunities now Of making careful Sc.
lectious of Cubans to participate
in the civil government.
After the surrender Of Santiago
in July, the Cubaus laborcd
under the impression that our
COVE rnment intended, as fast as it
drove the Spaniards out Of Cuba,
to turn the entire control over to
them to pursue any policy they
pleased. Garcia and his men were
quite indignant when they found
they were not put in charge of
Santiago and the provincial gov.
ernment. 1t is just beginning to
dawn upon the Cuban leaders and
their following that they mistook
the American program, which is
distinctly to occupy the island in a
military way until firm and cal
able government was establisht d
there. This makes the term of
occupation indefinite, and ult;-
mateIy the people will De called
upon to vote for Or against an.
mex ,tion. Meantime the most
c.pabie Cubans, who have good
records, will gradually be en-
trusted with civil positions, and
this will have the effect of a vol
untary dispersal of the armed and
militant insurgents, who are now
making trouble. IT they sec that
their officer accept the situation
and that the United States author.
ity will be used to dispense them
if they continue in arms, they
will perfer to go to work and get
the comforts Of life to taking the
narrow chances OF sh-whacking
and be treated as outlaws by the
established government. One of
the serious problems in Cuba will
be to get the element known as
paciticators during the late war to
do anything to make q living.
These people would not fight on
either side, and were simply a
body of mendicants, lazy and
shiftless, preferr'ng to starve
rather than to work. Such PEG.
pie should have no place under in
telligent government. It will
take time to get the Gu.
ban population Ito recognize the
advantages of an Amer.
can regime, which will maintain
public law and order. When
American business facilities, such
as mails, express, telegraph, tele-
phone, railway, electric traction,
etc., are fully developed. the Gu.
bans will want more of the same
kind. And when they comprehend
the su perlative good and scientific
drainage and sanitary engineering
generally in their towns and cities,
they will offer no obstacle to the
influx of all ameliorating Ameri-|
can features. It will take time to
dissipate the manana habit of the
Cubans and the moral sense of the
wo rk-haters must be touched (if|
1t can be reached) to bring them
