who Sometimes Wrong the Street Car
Conductors by This Popularity.
Here is your fare, conductor; you
overlooked me, / guess" The speaker
was a well-dressed man of middle age.
His remark was made as he was max
ing his way toward the rear platform
of a trolley car to get off, after having
ridden ten or twelve squares, and he
accompanied it by handing over to the
conductor a nickel That fellow
thinks he is entitled to gold medal
for honesty" growled the conductor, as
he pocketed the coin; "but he ought
to have a leather medal for burned
foolishness instead" "How's that?'
oueried the Saunterer, to whom the
conductors words were evidently adj
dressed. Don't you admire honestly
"Certainly-when it comes in at the
right time and place. But his didn't.
I'm maid for collecting a fare from
every passenger who rides with me.

timated that he caught the drift OF
what the conductor was saying
well" continued the latter, Il over
looked that fellow in the crowd. Al
least he says l did, and he ought tc
know. 1t is impossible to get every.
body when the car Is damned from
front to back. Now, suppose a spottel
is on this car and has overheard whai
that fellow said, or saw him hand me
the fare after having ridden mile OF

a CHILD'S FANCY.
An Explanation of What Seems Preco-
ciousness In Imag inativ Children.

ciousness In Ina ginative Children.
An active, healthy imagination is one
of the happiest gifts child can pos
sess. If we watch an intelligent child,
4 or 5 years old, who believes himself
unnoticed, we will probably be aston
ished at the richness and fertility OF
the fancy which can give life and color
to dull, commonplace things, and weave
whole stories and dramas around the
simple toy that it plainly stands for,
says the Woman's Home Companion
But we will perceive that even his wild
est romances found themselves upon
many facts, for free and frolicsome as
Imagination may appear, it is subject
to it's laws. 1t deals with real things
in a playful way; it embroiders, paints,
molds. but it must have its material,
its basis in actual life. What we call
creative ability is really nothing but
the power to reconstruct, perhaps TO
connect several separate plans or pat
terms into whole which seems differ
ent from the original. The child is an
artist who daubs his colors boldly,
without any sense of the absurditles
he may commit. and so he often pro-
duces effects that surprise others as
well as himself. Many of the acts that
seem so precocious because we suppose
them to be the outcome of a well-con-
sidered plan are really happy accidents,
not devoid Of the merit of originality,
but neither to be overpraised as work
of genius Childhood is one unbroken
succession Of experimentings Play Is
the proper and natural outlet for a
child's thoughts. To restrain his mo-
ton Is to drive back his living fancy
into the recesses of his mind, and this
results in his confusion and unhappi-
ness. Some children who are forced
to be still and passive when they are
longing for action find relief in whis'
pering over stories to themselves; bu'
it is an unsatisfactory substitute FOL
dramatic action. And it is also moral
/ w injurious, for the necessity Of con
| cealing ones ideas destroys after
awhile the ability for fluent expression
and brings about timidity and distrus
, of our friends.

Is Killed at a Christening.

Springfield, H., Oct. 16.-At the
christening OF child in a Polish fam
lily at Auburn, twenty miles from
Springfield, last night a riot started be-
tween the Hungarians and Polanders
present, and Steven Roskie, Hun
garian, was killed. Several men are
said to have been injured in the fight.
Two men have been held by the friends
of Roskie who are believed to be his
murderers. Sheriff Woods was noti-
fed of the killing, and left with posse
of deputies to arrest the participants
in the fight.

mot each one of us?" you say. Yes;
each one of you. mot to your enc
mies?" Yes; the only difference
would make with them would be that
would put little extra gilt on their
walls, and a little extra embroidery on
their slippers. But, you say, "Why
does not God give us all these things?
All! bethink myself. He is wiser.
1t would make fools and sluggards OF
us If we had our way. No man puts
his best picture in the portico or VS.
thule of his house. God meant this
world to be only the vestibule or
heaven, that great gallery of the uni
verse towards which we are aspiring.
We must not have it too good in this
world or we would want no heaven.
Polycarp was condemned to be
burned to death. The stake was
planted. He was fastened to 1t. The
fagots were placed around him, the
fires kindled, but history tells us that
the flames bent outward like the can
vas of a ship in a stout breeze, so that
the flames, instead of destroying Poly
carp, were only wall between him
and his enemies. They had actually
to destroy him with the poniard; the
flames would not touch him. Well, my
nearer, want you to understand that
by Gods grace the flames of trial, in
stead of consuming your soul, are only
going to be a wall of defense, and a
canopy of blessing. God is going to
fulfill to you the blessings and the
promises, as he did to Polycarp'
when thou walkest through the fire
thou shalt not be burned" Now you
do not understand, but you shall know
hereafter. In heaven you will bless
God even for the hornet.

LET a man tell you his story every
