A TROLLEY CAR CONDUCTOR.
An Occupation That Calls for the
Combined Qualities of Gentleman,
Servant and Philosophers.

The successful conductor joins to
the chivalry and impressiveness of a
policeman the savoir-faire of the gem
tleman behind the silk counter, for
persons who go home from clubs at
two in the morning may have to be
persuaded in six different ways before
they offer anything to ring up" says
Charles NJ. Skinner, in Atlantic. The
conductor must keep so or 60 streets
in mind; he must be sure to let the
elderly lady off at the one she has
been thinking of, and when she foils
him he must not impeach her veracity
if she "iust knew she told him. He
must not allow the man who immerses
himself in a newspaper to forget an
obligation of five cents to the COM
pany. He must curb natural inclina
tion to embrace the wives of strangers
when he lifts them up the steps. He
must call the attention of forgetful
persons to the fact that they are chew
ing tobacco, or are drunk. He must
arbitrate between the man who opens
the window and the woman who
wants it shut, and shut it. He must
insinuate himself up and down the aisle
of his ear without tipping standees
into the laps of irascible bankers, or
treading on the corns of such as wear
them. And while others clutch at
straps or dashboards or door-knobs
or the cord he rings his fares with,
when the motorman is seized with a
sudden frenzy for action he must
never lie down on the floor or lose his
dignity. He can be philosophic after
he grows used to it, and find advan-
tages in his wild career. As conduc-
tor remarked: "The worst of goin' by
Electricity is it most shakes your liver
out. But you never get dyspepsy."

His Life In Peril.

lame back had made life a burden.

most too worn out to work when I
began to use Electric Bitters, but

"What are you scared of, you black
rascal" exclaimed Brown, waxing
heated.
"I'ze been to de courthouse, Marse
Jim, an I'ze seed a niger in de wit
ness stan. He tole what he knowed
an den de lawyer tuck him an ak him
dis an ak him dat. an he bullyragged
dat niger till he made him say he seed
through brick wall. Bless Gawd,
when de lawyer got done wild dat mig.
ger he didn't know de way homer
"You internal fool, you are not going
to court. No one will be present but
the captain and me. When call you
in, I'll say, Now, Jake, tell the captain
all about it. But you must not tell
him all. You are only to repeat to him
part Of what you know"
''For de Lawd sake, Marse Jim, let
me tell de trufe or let nae tell lie.
Fore Gawd, 1 can't mix 'em. 1t takes
a white man to do dat" said Jake, in
nervous peRspiration.
"Here is all you've got to TELL" said
Brown, with an oath. "Say to the cap.
tain that you were in the swamp at
night hunting possums and that you
ran upon some men moving cotton from
an old shack to fiatboat. You crept
through the bushes without being seen
and found that the men were Mr.. Lay
burn, Mr.. Meriweather and a negro
When they had removed all the cotton
to. the fatboat, you saw them pole up
the river. Then you followed the boat
along the bank, and when you reached
the Layburn plantation the men un-
loaded the fiat and slowed the cotton
in the ginhouse, and you came and told
me. There. Can't you tell the captain
that? 1t is simple enough. The cap
tain may ask you few questions. If
he does, stick to your story and answer
In as few words as possible"
When Brown had finished, Jake
scratched his head obviously and asked
for a repetition. The merchant went
over the narrative again and again till
the negro had it all clearly fixed in his
head and vowed he would tell it just
as his master wished "ef de Lawd was
willin'."
"I'm not looking for the Lords help
in this business" replied Brown.
"Who's yo' 'pendin' on, Marse Jim?"
"You and the devil" was the grimly
candid response.
"Gosh-a -mightyw exclaimed Jake,
with chattering teeth, and straightway
the well drilled story became an mex
tricable tangle in his frightened brain,

"Now, isn't it a pity we can't get
Browns teams till Thursday night?''
said Layburn. He dropped the remark
with a purpose and glanced at Meri-
weather.
"Marse Alf, did yo' say dat Mr..
Brown knowed whar dat cotton was?''
Eyes"
Old Ben rolled his eyes sagaciously.
"One mule gone lame-t'other team
gone to Gainsville-wait till Thursday
night. Look here, Marse Alf, don't
yo' smell mouse"
"What do you mean, Benw asked
Meriwesther.
II mean, Marse Jack, dat Mr.. Brown
wapt dat cotton hisself."
"There, jack" said Layburn; 81 told
you so.''
"But we gwine git ahead OBJ him.
said Ben, chuckling.
"How, Uncle Ben" asked Layburn
eagerly. "Do you know where we can
hire wagons and mules?'
"Marse Alf, we don't need no mules
an wagons to do dis job. Jes' put
yo'r trus' in dis ole niger. He gwine
pull yo' through"
Layburn and Meriweather were thor
oughly puzzled and exchanged glances.
Old Ben intercepted the looks and read
their meaning.
"No, Marse Alf, de old man ain los
his mind. He's eighty year old, but
he's got his Judgment yit."
swell, Ben," said Meriweather, "if
we don't hire wagons, will you please
inform us how we are to get that cot
ton out Of the swamp"
''Sut'nly, sab. What yon got to say,
Marse Jack, ag'in a fiatboat"
"a flatboatw echoed Layburn and
Meriweather simultaneously.
"Yes, sab, fiatboat, what don't have
no wheels, don't need no mules an
don't make no noise," said old Ben tri-
umphantly.
"Uncle Ben, Blackberry creek is too
small for flatboat," said Layburn.
"But 1t amt too narrow for a skiff
boat" said the negro. "Listen, Marse
Alf. Dar's a flatboat what b'longs to
dis plantation, an it's tied up close by
yo'r ginhouse, an dey's skiff dar too.
What gwine hinder us tonight from
goin' in dat fiatboat to de mouf OBJ de

REFERRED TO COUNSEL.
Question Raised by the Collector Of
District Taxes

Mr.. f. g. Davis. collector Of taxes. has
asked the Commissioners to refer TO the
corporation counsel for opinion a question
relative TO the Issuance of tax certificates
under the law of July 1. over which the
tax office and c. II. Wiltsie Of Rochester.
large dealer in delinquent District taxes.
have had considerable discussion. II seems
that In the latter part OF July a letter was
received by the collector from Mr.. Wiltsie
requesting to be informed when the tax
ONCE would be ready to issue certificates
OF the tax sales OF 1901 and 1902 Mr.
Davis claims that there has been no sale
under the law approved July 1. and until
there is such sale the collector of taxes
mas not authority to issue tax certificates
unoer that law. Consequently any certifi-
Gates issued would be declared erroneous
and the District would not only have TO re-
turn the money collected but would have
10 pay interest on the same at the rate of
. per cent, which would be a distinct loss
to the District.
