One Passenger Too Many.

A good story is going the rounds Of
the offices Of the Metropolitan Street
Railway company concerning the Won
derful presence of mind displayed re-
Gently by a new conductor on one of
the company's trolley cars. This par
| ticular car was bowling along up
Broadway recently when it was hailed
and boarded by company inspector.
The official hurriedly counted the pas
sengers in the car and found that there
were nine. Then he cast his eye up to
the register and found that there had
been only eight fares rung up. He dis
closed his identity to the new conduct
or and called attention to the discrep-
ancy.
Slowly and painfully the new hand
counted over his passengers and then
scanned his register.
"Begorra, an you're roight, sir" he
said and promptly stopped the car.
"Say," he demanded, addressing the
passengers In an authoritative man.

His Fcelinss whsle Fall.nr.

The Swiss Alpine climber. Sigriat,
who once fell from the top Of the
Karpfstock, in Switzerland, described
his sensations while falling as follows.
"The plunge, which was taken back
ward, was In nowise accompanied by
the anxiety such as one has when one
dreams Of falling. seemed to be
borne in the most pleasant manner
gently downward and had complete
consciousness during the entire fall.
Free from all pain or fear I contem-
plated my position. and the future Of
my family, which knew was assured
by the insurance 1 carried. And this
contemplation was accomplished with
q rapidity which had never before
known. Of the losing Of my breath, Of
which people talk, there was no sug.
gcstion, and only the heavy fall on to
the snow covered ground caused me to
lose suddenly md painlessly all con-
sciousness. The brulsing OF my head
and limbs on the rocks ns fell caus-
ed me no pain. In fact did not feel
1t. I cannot conceive Of an easier,
pleasanter death. The reawakening,
however, brought with it entirely DIFF
ferent and far less agreeable sensa-

The Yka,ser and Max Muller.

The late Professor Max Muller was
originally just Muller. but he added one
of his Christian names. Max, to his sur
name and became Max Muller. His
change Of surname and Of NATIONALITY,
did not add to his popularity in Ger
many, where his former compatriots
used to say that "but for his settling in
England he might have become u
scholar"
Considerable amusement was caused
at Oxford some years ago by the kaiser
tclegraphing the professor upon the oc-
casion Of some aquatic victory, "My
best wishes to you and your gallant
crew." "Grcat Scottv' or its Sanskrit
equivalent the professor Is said to have
exclaimed. 'Just as IL we're coach
running along the embankment with a
trumpet"
The point OF the joke Is that Max
Muller dislikcd every form Of exercise
and used to SHY that "there Is only one
act Of folly more egregious than look.
ing at football game. and that is tax.
Ing part in one"

Check1 Bad Things to NEEDLE with.
"You can't monkey with check"
said business man, "as a friend Of
mine has learned Mt the cost of So or

O couple OF days received n blank
check from him Oh my bank with the
request that would do him favor to
fill out my checks before sending them
to him in payment for any obligations
II was certain had filed the check
out that had intended for him, but
thought possibly had sent him a
blank check and had lost the other or
sent 1t off in some letter or other, so to
prevent any future trouble I called at
my bank and stopped payment on
what thought was a missing check.
Two or three days later got an
other letter in which lie explained that
he was having fun with me, because
in sending him my check I had torn
OF two from the pad. and they were
stuck together. nnd he thought 1t
would be joke to send the blank one

that he had been so funny, and he
