CAR FARE ETIQUETTE.
Rules for Women Who Would Avoid
Argument for Themselves and
Embarrassment to Others.

Always pay your car fare when you
would like others to pay theirs under
the same circumstances, advises the
Chicago Tribune.
If you are visiting city friends or
relatives for more than a day, pay your
fare on ali occasions. Your hostess will
regard it as direct answer to prayer.
If you meet a social or business
woman friend as you are about TO enter
car, don't offer to pay her fare or per-
init her to pay yours, and don't argue
about it.
a business woman never permits her
business men acquaintance to pay her
car fare.
The social man friend whom you have
met by chance must be dealt with tact
fully. BY all means offer to pay your
own way boldly and briskly, but if the
man displays tendency to argue the
question sapicntly for blocks, as mat
ter of self-prescryation let him squan-
der the nickel.
When women go forth together for
Dutch treat" pleasure time each one
should meet her own expenses to the
last cent, always including car fare.
Schoolgirls should be taught not to
accept car fare courtcsics from either
schoolboy or girl friends.

AN ODD CATCH.
How n Mischievous MILDLY Fooled an
Obnoxious Sublfeu-
tenant.

The followers of Izaak Walton on
board n man-of-war are wont to ply the
gentle art with line alone) from oven
the ships side during the evening, says
the Cornhill. a sublieutenant, who was
not particularly liked by his junior
messmates, was one day so engaged,
when midshipman, seeing the line de-
pending from the "chains" above,
reached out of one of the main deck
ports and gave it couple of violent
tugs, in imitation of n fish biting. Up
the line was hauled with alacrity, but,
of course, with no result.
Once again the Sub" essaycd to catch
this big fish that had given him so heavy
bite. This time the middy's plan was
more elaborate, for, getting compan-
ion to keep the necessary strain upon
the upper portion, he hauled up the
lower part of the fishing lne and at
tached to the hooks an ola shoe, an
empty bottle, Il holy stone and sardine
tin. Having carefully lowered these to
the full extent of the line, he gave it a
more powerful pull than ever, and the
cXpcctant fisherman above hauled in as
fast as he could, hand ever hand.
But his language when he discovered
the nature of his "catch" is too much
to ask even an unfortunate compositor
to set up In cold type

COOL AND TELLING NERVE.
A Knowing GeOIOSist Made Use of
an Opportunity to Overawe
His Help.

For sheer, cool nerve and absolute,
inspired genius in dealing with men,
commend me to Clarence King, the ge-
ologist, if the story that is telling about
town be true. Mr.. King, the tale runs
was in the field all one summer-last
summer, l think-with a government
expedition. The field happened to be in
the far west, and the men he was COM
PEELED to employ as assistants were
band of cheerful ruilians, half-breed
desperudoes and "greaser' scamPs, says
the Washington Post. Bad as they
were, they worked well, and they were
deserted. Mr.. King knew what that
meant. 1t meant a stampede and an
empty camp if the dcscrtcr were al
lowed to go unpublished. He chose Il
companion on whose silence he could
depend, mounted and took the trail.
On the third day the desertcr was over
taken, captured and landed in con-
venient fort.
The runaway had subsistcd for three
days of his liberty on such game and
birds as he could Kill. His horse was
white, and as he rode often with prey
slung to the saddle the animal was
strealked and stained with blood. The
man being in safe keeping, Mr.. King
and his companion rode back to camp
leading the crimson-streaked horse,
! with all the deserter's belongings
strapped to his back. They spoke no
word of the missing man to his former
companions, but dismountcd in grim ST
lence. The men endured the pangs of
curiosity as long as they could. Then
they sent Il committee to Mr.. King to
make inquiries about the fugitive. Mr.
King gave a meaning glance at the
blood-stained horse and made answer
briefly:
"He is gone" he said, impressively
HE +, gone where anybody else who
tries to desert will go, too"
IIalf-brceds and "grcasers" gaspcd
and crossed themselves, and from that
day on no one of them ever tried 10 de-
scrt.

COURTING IN CUBA.
This Writer Says There Are No Hand
some Middle-AEed Women
ON the Island.

Apparently the highest social insti-
tuition of Cienfucgos is the Sunday even
ing promenade in the plaza, and with
out it | really do not know how the
young people of the aristocracy would
manage to mate and marry, says Il cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Record.
During all the week scnoritas of the up
per class are kept under rigid rcstrlc-
ton, never permitted to walk abroad
alone and constantly watched by par
cnts and ducnnas, as If expected to rush
TO the bad if allowed the smallest OPP
portunity. This system Of eternal Wig
lance would doubtless become as irk-
some to the guardians as to the opening
buds were it not so soon over.
At the age of 10 a Cuban girl is con-
sidered quite old enough to marry, and
her parents hunt up son-in-law with
out delay-unless, as is more commonly
the case, some sub-rosa lover announces
himself, or a match, satisfactory to
patcrfamilias, was arranged for her
with the son of a friend while the pair
were yet in their cradles.
The beauty and charm of the fair
Cubans are as cvanescent as irresistible
while they last. Like the lovely wild
flowers of their islands, they mature
very early, but fade as rapidly. The
pretticst girl will be plain before she
is 80, and handsome middlc-agcd wom-
an is not to be found in Cuba-if any
where outside the temperate zone.

he afterwards married the father-in-

one occasion to enter the parlor with

The consequence was that he found
the swcethearts occupying single

taclc, the old man solemnly said: "Mr
Macdonald, when | was counting Mrs.

ply was: THAT'S what | should have
