GOT TIE BETTER OF THEM.
A Street Car COnductor's Witty Way
of Settling Women Who
Are Omclous.

A party of five handsomely attired
women boarded North Clark street
cable car at the north end of Lincoln
park and took seats near the front
end of the last trailer. Half a dozen
other men and women were seated
In the car and they overheard a con-
versation that ran something like
this, relates the Chicago Chronicle:
Never mind, I'll pay the car fare"
said one stately woman wearing a
handsome sealslx,n cloak, as she
opened her pretty purse.
mo, let me pay it," interposed the
woman in the long automobile cloak,
who sat next to the first speaker.
You remember you paid it the last
time we came downtown together"
II want to pay it,
mo, I'm going to pay it, for I've
just got the even change"
"Oh, let me pay it to settle the dis
pute."
And so the argument as to which
one of the five should contribute to
the Golfers of the railroad company
continued for. several minutes to the
great enjoyment of the other occu.
pants of the car.
During the controversy the con.
ductor stood just inside the door of
the car. He pretended to paw no at.
tention to the women, but he was
listening, just the same. He had been
collecting fares on street cars for
many years and he had heard these
arguments before.
The conductor finally stepped to
the platform to assist passenger on
the car. Just as he again opened the
door to 60 to the five women for their
fares the woman in the sealskin cloak
arose. She held quarter in her
neatly gloved hand and. started to-
ward the conductor with her hand
outstretched. She wanted to "steal a
march" on her companions. The con-
ductor saw his opportunity to "get
even" for all the time he had lost in
waiting for the women to settle their
little dispute and he seized it. He
grasped her extended hand, and shak-
ing it vigorously said:
''Why, how do you do? I'm awful
glad to see you."
The woman was astonished and so
were her companions, but they all
realized Immediately that they had
been made the victim of the conduct
or's ready wit, The woman who was
so anxious to pay the fares hurried
back to her seat. Not word was
spoken The. conductor returned to
the platform. A couple of blocks fur.
ther on he went up to the party and
collected the fare for all from one
who had taken no part in the dis
pute.
When the women left the car at
Washington street the conductor re.
marked to man on the platform:
swell, guess she'll remember me
for an indefinite period" .a.
