How Passenger Got Even With a Street
 Car Conductor

How R Passenger Got Even With a Street Car Conductor.
 He was intent upon his newspaper when the conductor came along and stopped ill front of him.
 The conductor stopped down to get a better look at his face and said, Flare, please"
 The man with the paper paid no att tention, and finally the conductor tap ped him gently on the arm.
 'Did get your fare?" asked the con- ductor as the man with the paper looked up.
 Now, if there is anything ill this world that has a tendency to make man who has paid his fare get angry it is to have the agent of the corporation to whom such fare was paid come along and ask him if he has paid it. It may be all right, but it always seems as if there was an inference that some one is trying to beat the road. Thus it hap pened that the man with the paper re- piled rather sharply:
 " You ought to know.
 "Oh, it's all right, sirl'' explained the conductor hastily. "No intention to offend, you know. I merely wanted to make sure"
 Then he returned to the platform, while the man with the paper returned to his reading.
 A few minutes later the man with the paper went out on the platform himself, and just before reaching his corner he gently tapped the conductor on the arm, even as the conductor had tapped him.
 Did you ring up my fare?'' he asked
 There were immediate indications that the conductor was getting mad. He tried to say something, but only spluttered.
 "Oh, it's all rightp" the man with the paper hastened to explain. "No in tention to offend, you know. I only wanted to make sure.
 Then he swung off the car, and when he reached home his wife detected traces of faint smile on his face. -PhiladeI- phia Times.

THE NEW YORK YOUTH.
Story of a Promising Boy, SchOOIteache
 and an Escaped Dog,

Story of a Promising Boy, a SchOOIteacheR
 and an Escaped Dog.
 A drawing teacher in the upper re- gions of the borough of Manhattan tells me of a curious instance of what she calls the crescent freshness of the metro politan youth. Tommy was the most in- Corrigible pupil ill that particular room, making the half hour spent there daily one of mingled doubt and anguish of spirit to the drawing teacher. The other day Tommy was evidently engaged in some new form of mischief. His draw ing pad lay upon the desk before him and his hands were lowering over it, now sweeping down at one slSe of the paper, now at the other, as if corralling some unwilling ant or other insect seek ing to escape.
 Tommy" said the drawing teacher suddenly and sharply, "what are you doing?"
 'Nothin, was Tommy's instant re- ply. Then he added, "Nothin but keep in this ere dawg from runnin away"
 "What dog?" queried the drawing teacher. "I see no dog. What do you mean?"
 "Course ye don't see no dawg," said Tommy, teasing his gymnastics under her sharp glance and strengthening up. "Yer too far away" The other scholars were all attention by this time, which was precisely what Tommy wanted, and he assumed look of un- smiling innocence as he continued, "I drored a runnin dawg, not standin still one, an l was a-headin i'm off so's he wouldn't run off tn tablet an git on tn floor '
 The other children laughed uproari- ously at this, whereupon Tommy sur veyed them with such an assumption of surprised indignation that their mirth was redoubled. The teacher was now genuinely angry. She was matter of fact young woman to whom normal school methods were both law and gos- pei, and here was a fragrant case of downright falsehood that must be ex- posed as an awful example to the entire grade of pupils. She walked slowly and firmly down the aisle and picked up Tommy's tablet. The white sheet was unsullied by a single mark of any kind.
 Tommy" she said sternly, exhibit ing the sheet to the pupils, "therc isn't a dog or anything else here
 "Course there isn't " said the una bashed Tommy. "Wha'd tell ye? Ye made me set up, an he got away. He was a greyhound, he was. Flown Topics

The report comes from Washington that a large majority of the militia volunteers rejected because of physical unfitness are wheelmen who have used very low handle bars habitually.

CAPT. cRowlNsH ELo's REPORT.
was he Executive Head of the strateg,
Board.

Washington, November 23.--Capt.
Crowniushield, chief of the bufelu OF
navigation, has made his report. Capt.
Crowninshieid says:
.tIhe completeness OF our naval victory
during the war and almost absolute i'm
munity from injury which our ships and
crews enjoyed naturally led to general
conclusion that our gunnery had much
10 do with the matter. As matter OF
fact, all reports bear out this conciu'
sion."
He thinks the navy should b ave charge
of the transportation of troops.
The navigation bureau recommends
that Congress authorize the increase Of
the naval force to 10000 for general ser
vice and 2500 apprentices
A tribute is paid to the good work o.
the naval militia, in manning the coast
defence stations and the vessels OF tht
auxiliary naval force and furnishing mn
teriaI for crews of the auxiliary vessels
serving with the regular fleet. But FOL
crews aboard snip in active service they
furnished nothing more than matefla
and in the ordinary course most or them
would have been enlisted as landsIner
and nothing higher All mao 20 Dc thoI
ougbly drilled and even the oilcers, Will
exceptions, were ,und to be unqualified
to ACC as Instructors.
Capt. Crowinshield simply desires tc
point out fatal defects in tho system.
The bureau recommends the passage Of
TIE Cummings bill. This would provide
for the creation OF q national reserve
entirely under the control of the depart
ment, recruiting from the scattering class
es, who woald be compelled to serve in
war times. under penalty of desertion
The men would be require to report once
year for drill, for which they would re-.
ceive one months pay.
Another recon- endation is that the
sysrem of rewards by promotion be
abolished, and that medals of honor be
substituted SO that officers may be- re.
warded without detriment to others.
Finally the suggestion of the superin
tendent of the coast signal service that
this should be made permanent insti-
tuition is aDDreTed.
