HIS FEE IN NICKELS.
4 cheerful Lawyers Unhappy Expe-

Car Corporation,

young lawyer, whose shingle has
been out only since January, relatesl

Now, if any of you three want carl
fare money in exchange for bills I'mi
in the money changing business andi
need the bills, so step up. Inciden-I
tally, : may remark that the meanestl
corporation in business in this city,
is certain railway company, and I've,
just been up against it"
The cheerful young lawyer pro-,
duced d handful of nickels from a.
bulging pocket, rendered eight to the
waiter, with two over for good meas,

also bulged. The pockets jingled.

was cooling eff his Panama by hold
ing it out of the car window when,
going across the bridge the other:

due time he sent for me and put mo
up against the company.
"Of course, they hadn't any busi-
ness to have pole in the way of a,
gentleman's arm, and equally, OF
course, Bill Smith hadn't any right
to presume that he could ride with
his arms outside car. The company

he did. Then went up to collect the
money.
"The company's claim department
was at the far end of the line, Of
course. That's to make it hard for.
claimants to get at.
Il expected that and I don't say
anything about the ten cents and the
valuable time I spent in getting out
there to collect Bill Smiths hundred
and coming back. But 1 do object to
that company's way of doing busi-
ness in other respects.
''When l got there the man in
charge of the claim payments coolly
offered me check for $3.50 and asked
me for $50 change. I explained that

and said he'd fix me up another if
I'd wait, and he disappeared.

in nickels. / think he'd been out to
the corner and held up the cars till

over to me, gave me a newspaper to
wrap it in, and left me to cuss.

the paper money and left me the SIS

THE KNEISEL QUARTET.

To eulogize the Kneisel quartette would be re-eclloing of every conl- ment which their appearance has al- ways evoked. Their concert last night opened the seventeenth season of chanl- Der concerts given under the auspices Of Yale university. The growing appre- ciation of the highest scholarly form of music was demonstrated by group of ardent listeners which filled North Sheffield hall.
 MT. Kneisel chose well balanced pro- gramnle, embracing the modern and old schools.

and is much like the latter's work al- though not quite so big in scope. It may be interesting to know that Dit tersdorf played second violin in Hay dens quartette and thus came into inn mediate influence with Hayden.
 Kopylow, whose quartette was play ed last night, is a Russian and his mu- sic while distinctly Russian in charac- ter is refreshingly devoid of the much drummed native dance tunes. It is de- eidedly pretty and abundant with vivid coloring. While not strong in charac- ter it is extremely tuneful and has a precise rhythm. The andante move ment opens with a charming solo for first violin, which in turn is followed by the cello. And in this movement the characteristic Russian display oi
