HOW TO SIT IN A HANSON.
Accepted English Method of Getting
Into and Out of a Cab.


Into and Out of a Cab.
We have borrowed many things from
the English. One is the accepted meth
cd of getting into and out of cab,
presumably because the hanson is the
real English and real smart thing nova
days. The novice in hanson cab drlv-
ing gets in as she would into victoria,
coupe or other American equipage, and
seats herself Oh the far side, leaving
room for her companion or escort to be
seated by her side next to the curb, on
entering.
Not so the woman who has had her
hanson education in London or in an
English environment. She seats herself
where she enters-that is at the curb,
and her escort is obliged to crawl by
her to get to his place. Where we turn
to the right in driving the continental
method is to turn to the left. and vice
versa. which probably accounts for this
method of transplanted misdirecton
which we follow in riding in hanson.
The matter has now reached the auto
mobile stage, and the question has been
settled that the hanson method is to be
followed, and that the proper seat for
the first one who enters it is at the curb
side-Boston Post.

The John Nj. Smyth Co. Have No
Agents.

The well-merited popularity of the
great mail order establishment of the
John NJ. Smyth Co. of Chicago seems to
have induced unscrupulous parties to go
through the country and falsely repre-
sent themselves as sales agents for this
house. BY thus representing themselves
they have succeeded in imposing upon
many by selling goods and taking cash
and notes from victims who actually be-
lieved they were purchasing goods from
the representatives of the firm direct.
The John NJ. Smyth Co. have no agents
and denounce as frauds all parties trav-
cling through the country and claiming
to represent the firm. The public should
be on the lookout for such impostors.
