NOBODY STOOD UP.
New Street Car Conductors scheme
for Getting All the Fares
Didn't Succeed.

Old street car conductors sometimes
have a great deal Of trouble with their
''understudies," says the Indianapolis
journal. 1t is the custom of the In
di~anapolis company to "break in" new
men by sending them out over the lines
with experienced employees who have
been long in the service. This is done
in order to train the new men to act as
substitutes or "extras." Recently a
Brightwood line conductor had one OF
the new men in charge. On the first
trip the beginner a shown how to
collect fares, how the rod connecting
with the indicator should be manip-
ulated TO show a ticket, how it should
be worked to indicate a cash fare, and
how the trip reports should be made
out, in the meantime teaching him the
names of the streets and when to call
them. On the next trip the understudy
thought he had learned his part so
well he asked permission to run the
car himself under supervision. The
old conductor watched the new man
collect the fares and saw that he
missed a number. When he returned
to the rear of the car he was informed
that he was five short-that there were
80 passengers and he had collected
only 25 fares, Without waiting for
further advice the new man put his
head in the door Of the car and shout
ed:
"All who have not paid their fares
will please stand up"
Not a passenger moved. Perhaps
they were too amazed-probably as
much astonished as the old conductor.
The silence was becoming almost pain
full. Finally a suburbanite nudged his
neighbor and asked him why he didn't
stand up.
Cant lie" was the reply, SIN hon
est. Paid my fare.'
By this time the humor of the situa-
ton began to dawn on the other pas
sengers. The men laughed and the
women smiled-all except five girls in
the front part Of the car, who were so
busy talking they had not heard the
new conductors "stand up" order nor
witnessed what followed. One of the
girls had a bunch Of transfer tickets
partly concealed in a glove. The old
conductor knew where the missing
fares were and had intended to tell
the new man, but the latter did not
give him time. The incident was ended
by the old conductor walking to the
talkative girls and saying; "Fares,
please" as if nothing had happened.
The transfers were surrendered with
out the girls knowing an attempt had
been made to introduce an innovation
in street car ethics.

RUSSIA'S RAILROAD MILEAGE.
1t Is Very Small Compared with That
of the United States, Says
This Account.

When George Stephenson devised the
locomotive and railroads began, it was
as open to Russia as any other country
to develop railways in the empire, but
now, nearly three-quarters of a CEN
fury after Stephenson's day, Russia,
with more than s,OOO,0 900 square miles
of territory, has barely $4,000 miles
of railways, while the United States,
with 1900, 900 square miles Of terri
tory, excluding Alaska, has 200, 600
miles. 1t would be difficult to find a
stronger expression of the COMPARE
tive economic energy Of two great ma
tions than is conveyed by this single
and striking example, says Senator
Lodge, in Scribner's Magazine. One
sees constantly in the magazines, ar
%ticles, especially by English writer's,
expressing the most profound admi-
ration at the completion of the ST.
berian railway, and yet nothing could
be more convincing Of the very low
economic force of Russia than that
same railroad. That it is an impor-
tant work, that it will help Russia in
the east, both economically and for
military purposes, cannot be ques.
TONED, and yet to wonder at the build.
ing Of the Trans-Siberian railroad is
only possible if we fail to look be.
low the surface. Russia has been oc.
cupied for more than ten years in
building 5000 miles of railway over q
very easy country for the most part
and that railway is not yet completed
The turn around Lake Baikal, which
involves serious difficulties, is not vel
made, and win not be for some years
The Manchurian branch is not yet com,
plete. But assume that we ma,
call the railway completed, what Dc
we find? It has taken Russia ten years
to build 5000 miles of railroad. The
annual construction OF railways in the
United States has twice reached 500,
miles. The Russian road has cost il
the easiest part $4,000 a mile. and il
Siberia it has probably cost with tn,
equipment $4,000 a mile. Yet, despit,
this enormous and wasteful expendi
ture, they have only got a single tract
laid with rails so light that they mus.
relay It from one end to the other. It'll

Ever Wanderern.

At Lord Rothschild's magnificent
house, or rather palace, in Piccadil-
ly, as at his country seat at Tring,
and in all the other Rothschild resi-
dences in England and on the conti-
ent, there is always in a conspicuous
place, generally among the cornices,
a piece of stone or marble left IN
dressed, uncarved, and in a rough
and unfinished state, which, by rea-
son of the beauty and splendor of its
immediate surroundings, at once
catches the eye. This is in compli-
ance with the rule among all ortho-
dox Jews that they should have no
permanent abiding place until they
are restored to the Holy Land, and
this unfinished bit of stone is to
mark that the abode is merely tenn
porary and incomplete.-London M.

MAGIC OF A NAME.
Young Lady who Had Been over

Happy scheme.

Oh, yes, l had a lovely time" she
said, according to the New York Her
aid, giving her veil that fascinating
little tug with which a charming wom-
an knows how to punctuate her sen
fences. 'Do you know" she continued
with pleasing confidence, that a hard
ened New Yorker cannot take a better
rest cure than a few days in Washing
ton.
"Now, let me tell you Of the one
break in the m~onotony Of the unusual
ly dull trip down. You know what a
scramble l make for a train, and
though 1 chose the noon one I was just
rs hurried as if 1 had made an effort
for a much earlier one, which would
have given me several hours more of
the rest cure. Naturally, 1 had only a
nibble of toast and a sip of coffee for
breakfast, as usual, and, of course, I
was rather hungry after that jolting
drive down.
Jersey City was an ugly little speck
on the horizon when l rang for the
porter and called for the menu card.
There was no dining car, only a buffet.
The porter nodded and disappeared.
Soon he passed me with lightning
rapidity, and to my dismay I found he
was presenting the card to some men
in the drawing ROOM 1 think that is
what they call that little den in the end
of the car.
"My dear, for two solid hours, and
this is not the e%xaggeration of an in
jured woman, that fend of a porter
passed and repassed my chair bearing
steaming, tempting, life-preserving
soups and brothS to that drawing room
crowd. They must have consumed all
the soup in the world. When they be-
gan on salads, ale and wine l was toe
weak to glare wen at the porter. Then
gnawing pain ceased and / was just
numb. 1t was four o'clock, and ever
the freak eaters in the den could not
order any more. But still the porter
was elusive; in%solently so by this time
"a happy thought struck me.
whisked out my ticket. There, in 9
bold scrawl, was a fac-simile of the
signature Of the general passenger
agent. Ha! 1 was armed Tagged
the conductor. Have you any infu.
ence with this insolent, stupid porter?
I asked, with all the hauteur 1 could
summon in my weak state. Then
told him my troubles and added non
%chalantly: You might sway him by
telling him that I know Mr.. Dash very
WELL
"My dear, It acted like a charm. TIL,
conductor fell over himself in making
apologies, and metaphorically swort
he would make that outcast of a porter
bring me all the delicacies of the car
In fact, with his own hand he opened
a bottle of stout for me. Ifelt it wal
not wise to trust myself with solit
food, l had been without so long. Blu.
