MOTHER ON THE STREET CAR.
Trials of Street Car Conductors with
Children Who Do Not
Grow Old.

"There, that's over with, and it's
great load off my mind" said the street
car conductor as he got back to the rear
platform and made vigorous use of his
handkerchief on his face and neck.
You mean collecting fares on a
crowded carp" asked a passenger
II mean the getting through with the
seven women and 16 children | have
on this trip" he explained. Luck hap
pened to be with me, and I'm only hop
ing that may get through the day all
right. I've been laid off for a week,
you know"
For what?"
For doubling mothers word in re-
gard to the age of child. I've got four
children at home, and most anybody
would say that ought to be something
of a judge, but I'm brought up with a
round turn every trip. If it wasn'tfor
the spoilers I'd pass all the children as
being under three years of age"
you have to collect half fare for all
over that age, eh?"
Il have to try to, and there is where
the trouble comes in. Not one mother
in 90 is willing to pay any fare at all
for anything under boy who is just
ready to get out of knee breeches. VI
the 16 children on this car all but two
are certainly five years old, and yet l
collected only three half fares. If there
is a spotter on this car I'm booked for
another lay off, but it was either that
or a row with the mothers. When L
come along to a mother who shuts her
jaw and gives me the icy glare l real
ize that her mind is made up, and it's
either let her beat me or have row."
But why do they kick?"
"For various reasons. When you
have dead headed a child for three
years it's pretty hard to begin paying
fare. As rule, too, anybody will beat
a street car if possible and feel no
shame over it, The woman who got me
laid off had son five years old with
her. She had been riding on my car for
months with that kid and passing him
off for not quite three years, when |
thought to do smart thing for the
company. insisted on her paying fare
for him, but lost in the shuttle. She
went to headquarters and complained
of my impudence, and instead of col
Letting five cents for the company l
was $12 out of pocket"
'And do mothers deliberately lie to
you to save fare?"
Say, now, but you ought to run a
car for just one day. A woman who
wouldn't lie to neighbor on her life
will turn a conductor down without the
least hesitation. 1t is not considered a
sin to do that. / have brother who
was running car on this line up to a
month ago. A woman tried to pass a
five-year-old boy for nothing and he
insisted on half fare and got it. She
turned out to be the general managers
wife and, of course, the conductor got
the bounce. What is that old saying
about truth?"
THAT it is mighty and will prevail"
"Yes, remember, but the man who
got that off lived before the days of
street cars. I'm telling you, sir, that of
the folks who travel by car, men or
women, only about one in ten is think
ing of truth, and even he is wondering
how he can work off a plugged quarter

pensive material - appliqued with
bands of white linen braid and en-
broidery. The skirt sets smoothly over
the hips with two box plaits at the back
undertaking the fullness.
The jacket is short and finished be-
low the waist line in ripples which are
cut in the seams. Wide lapels turn
over shirt waist of white linen. These
are trimmed with bands of embroidery
which extend around the ripples also.
A white leather belt confines the waist,
and the only means of fastening the
jacket is by two broad strips of white
braid which are tied in four-in-hand
knot at the bust line.

The Secret Service has Just unearthed an

cleverly executed that the average person
would never suspect them of being spurious.
Things of great value are always selected for

SEA WATER AS MEDICINE.
1t Is Not Pleasant to Take, But It's
Effects Are Good for
the Health,

When bather at Atlantic City the
other day accidentally swallowed big
sup of sea water and then rushed off to
get a drink of whisky to take the taste
out of his mouth successful medical
practitioner who had witnessed the
performance said:
THAT man is either greenhorn or a
fool. Otherwise on such occasion he
word have taken merely sip or two
of lemonade and allowed the sea water
to do its work. AS matter of fact, one
of the most beneficial features of sea
bath is the salt water inadvertently
swallowed by bathers. 1t is wonder
full tonic for the liver, stomach and
kidneys. In many cases it will cure
biliousness when all drug preparations
have failed. 1t is peculiarly effective in
ordinary cases of indigestion, disor-
dered stomach and insomnia, and has
been known to produce excellent re-
suits in many cases of dyspepsia.
Clean sea water, such as is to be had
at any of our numerous fashionable sea.
side resorts, is full of tonic and sedative
properties. 1t won't hurt anybody.
Indeed, two or three big swallows of il
would be of positive benefit to nine
bathers out of ten. 1t is not, of course,
palatable or tempting dose to take,
but neither is quinine or calomel. You
seldom, if ever, see an old sailor who is
bilious or dyspeptic, or victim to in
somnia, and why? For the reason that

Simple Menus.

There has been q return this season
to marked simplicity of menu and in a
way of serving a dinner or luncheon.
Last years extravagances were SO
great, in the innumerable courses and
in the costlness of favors, that re-
action was bound to set in, and has
come with force at present. The most
elegant meal nowadays consists 81 but
clans, fish, roast. salad and dessert with
coffee.

on by machine the work was not hard
on either eyes or fingers.
When the material was entirely COW
cred with little ruffles the waist was cut
out upon an ordinary waist pattern and
a tiny yoke of tucked white goods was
set in. Finally there were stiff white
cuffs added to the waist, and the neck
was finished with narrow band over
which stock could be worn.
The general rule that all skirts should
be trimmed may be violated m the case
of the figure skirt which needs no trim
ming. A skirt of cream, figured with
small lunches of flowers, looking for all
the world like summer curtain mate
rial, goes we'll with any shirt waist. If
very fastidious the shirt waist can
match the color of the flowers with
which the skirt is so profusely trimmed.

John SHERMAN m EVIDENCE.

Not long since the veteran Ohio
political crimes by the democratic press.
The part he played in the characterization
of silver in 1873 has been focused on The
public mind from every standpoint of
observation. No man has been more
widely eXecrated han he; and, finally,
as lettering old age and senility came
upon him, n compelled his retirement
from the active duties of public life, the
democratic press heaved a sigh of relief
at the passing greatness Of the withered
giant.
The wreck of his former self, a spectre
in the nightfall of political dotage, the
old gentleman recently raised his voice
in senseless gibberish, as old men some
times do, and took democratic ground
in favor of anti-expansion. What a
change swept over the democratic press!
The man whom they had bounded and
execrated, and buried under a perfect
avalanche Of invectives for more than
thirty ~years-the man to whom they inn
puted idiocy, insanity and crime-sud-
denly, in his feeble old age, became an
intellectual and moral marvel. &
The crime of '73 was forgotten by the
silver advocates of the democratic par
ty. Sherman's offenses were instantly
wiped out by his advocacy of the Bryan

IS THE CLERK JUDICIAL OfFJcERs

In a recent decision Judge Lindsay
seems to have overturned the popular
Idea that the clerk of the courts acts in
a ministerial capacity when directing
the publication of and other
ohlcial papers. 1t has been the usual
custom in this state for parties to a suit
to designate the newspapers in which
such notices shall be published, in the
belief that the duties of the clerk were
ministerial.

may see fit, without reference to the
wishes of the parties to the action. AS
