The Conductor.
New York Sum

New YORK SUM-
HurTah for you. Conductor man,
Target Of the chance rebukes
OF everyone who travels
No other man could bear One-half
The burdens Of your IrkSome task.
Conductor, you're a VIZ
To keep a face cOmplaCent
When YOU get a Y for fare.
OF course, you know
The lady has no smaller bill
But then
You hate to put her off,
And don't;
Some gentleman then pays it and
You smile-that smile, Conductor,
Is the jolly thing about It.
And transfers.
That's the word that makes US glad
That street cars were invented
But never in your haste and scramble
To collect all fares
Do you forget. TO give them!
'TweTe base injustice to complain
When we are blocks beyond
The place,
And transfer slips are useless
Save as keepsakes-
In your domain, and we who ride
Are Vassals.
step lively, now and Move up IfonL-
You pack us in and grumble
When we can't get out in time.
And when we're packed
And peaceable
You stalk in for the fares.
Skirts, dresses, hats and shines
Nav suffer-that's no matter.
A king can do no wrong,
We know,
and so
We grin and bear it.
You've a brother. a conductor.
Whom il gives us JOY to see.
He's a boon.
But 50 scarce No one ever
Gets indignant or III trouble
When the car is run
By him.
He
Never hurries. never jostles,
Never knocks our hats off,
Always has d lot of time
| To be kind
While it may not be his business
To be pleasant and help women
Still he does it.
He's d grand. redeeming feature
OF "A system that's not good.
Then here's to you, Sir Conductor
Nav your numbers soon increase
May you wear a halo heavy
Heavy with the pearls of kindness
/ AS rewards for each good deed.
We are pleased to meet you always
And we hail you from afar-
You, the Chesterfield Of mOrtals,
The man behind the car.

ON THE FARM.

There's many q successful business
man who sits in his city Office and lets
his mind slip back to his boyhood days
on the farm. How good it felt to live
What an appetite he had How good
everything tasted How sound his sleep
was How eagerly he rose with the sun
aud raced with him through the long
day. And now he's successful man.
But he can't sleep. He doesn't enjoy
his food. His stomach is weak, his
nerves are shaken, and he no more rises
with the sun to race eagerly against him.
His vitality is low and now and again
his heart seems TO plunge in his breast
as If it would break loose. That's the
price he has paid for success.
The mischief of the whole business is
that he buys tablets" of one sort or
another to "aid" his digestion, and i'll
dulges i'll bromides and other nerve
stiinulants, just to hold himself together,
and wonders why he seems to be getting
worse.
The whole trouble with such man
generally lies in what is called oweak" "
stomach. The food he eats does not
nourisli him because it is only partially
digested and assimilated. No man can
be stronger than his stomach, because it
is in the stomach and allied organs of
digestion and nutrition that strength is
made from the food which is eaten.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discoy-
cry cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
1t restores the strength of the body III
the only way strength can be restored,
by food which is perfectly digested and
assimilated, when the diseased stomach
with its allied organs) is cured of dis
ease. It rs blood-inaking, body.build-
ing medicine, inasmuch as blood is made
from food and the body is built up by
blood. 1t is not stimulant, containing
neither alcohol or any other narcotic.

thing they didn't exactly like was the
clause requiring the concurrence Of the
select council In the removal by the
mayor OF the heads Of departments.
Messrs. Davis and Roche will make
no attempt to secure the opinions of
the city officials Of Pittsburg regarding
the act, for the latter consider the
present second-class city charter to
be the most perfect thing OF its kind
ever constructed by man. They Will.
however. remain In Pittsburg till the
middle OF the week. and will secure
opinions and suggestions from a num-
Der Of other persons
Mr.. Atherton gave a report of the
conference had by him and Colonel
Hitchcock with the Pittsburg and AL
legheny boards of trade, and explained
that the business men of both cities
were heartily in favor Of amending the
present charter so as to give the mayor
the power to appoint and remove the
heads OF departments.
COPIES OF THE ACT.
1t was decided to have him forward
TO the Pittsburg and Allegheny boards
of trade copies of the amendatory act
with a request that it be Immediately
considered. If the committees of these
bodies had any changes to suggest
they could then send them back to this
city TO be acted upon by the council
manic committee.
Secretary Atherton stated TO a Trib-
une man that this plan might possibly
have the effect of causing the board Of
trade to abandon for the present its
idea of preparing and submitting to
the legislature a complete act. He said
that the amendatory act contained the
provision giving the mayor the power
of appointment. which was exactly the
thing the best element in Pittsburg
and Allegheny wanted. He stated that
he believed since the conference that
the city and the board of trade could
work harmoniously together on the
question.
The committee will meet again some
night this week to hear from Messrs.
Davis and Roche, and from the Pitts
burg and Allegheny boards of trade.
