A difference of oninion,

tSThe fat man is sure he has paid his
fare to the conductor. He is positive
on this point, because he had only n
nickel, and it has passed from his pos
l'session.
The conductor is also positive, with
no actual proof therefor, that the fat
man has not contributed his mite to
swell the Golfers of the corporation.
He demands the fare.
The fat man for obvious reasons re-
| fuses.
He announces in beat of rage that
he'll see the conductor and the corpora
ton elsewhere before he yields.
The other passengers are wild with
joy. They have no particular love for
the corporation, they do not know the
fat man, and if they met the conductor
again they would not look at him.
Passengers seldom do. They are loyal
Americans.
Behind the fat mans underlying
principle there is knowledge of six
mile walk, an angry wife, cold sup
per and neglected euchre party. He
announces again that he will see the
conductor elsewhere. He does.
He sees the conductor in the street.
The fat man is with him.
The fat mans hat is In the gutter,
his coat is torn and myriad packages
are strewn over the field of battle.
The car and the conductor fade from
sight, and the fat man gathers up his
bundles for the six mile walk.
Will he sue the corporation for $780,
900? He will not. He remembers that
he spent the nickel for Queen of the
Backwoods cigar.-Chicago Democrat.
