Money in R.iiroading.

A New York boulevard car was
going north one day recently when,
with a sudden jar, the current was
thrown off and the passengers were
bumped rudely together. The car came
to a standstill. The motorman, says
the New York Times, threw open the
front door and ran back to the con
ductor on the rear platform.
They exchanged a few words, then
both ran through the car to the front
platform. Every passenger sat mute
with surprise. Suddenly the car start
ed and then backed. Then it started
again. and once more backed. Then
it stopped. Off jumped motorman and
conductor, and as the astonished pas
sengers looked out of the windows

SOME POINTED QUESTIONS.

Put Yourself in the Other Ones Place
and Answer.
The great task of sound ethics is to
stimulate the social imaglnattons. We
must be continually prodding our sense
of social consequence to keep it wide
awake, says a writer in the Atlantic
Magazine. We must be asking our
selves at each point of contact with
the lives of others such pointed ques-
tons as these:
How would you like to be the tailor
or washerwoman whose bill you have
neglected to pay?
How would you like to be the Gus
toner to whom you are selling these
adulterated or inferior goods?
How would you like to be the lnves-
tor in this stock company which you
are promoting with water?
How would you like to be the en-
ployer whose time and tools and ma
terial you are wasting at every chance
you get to loaf and shirk and neglect
the duties you are paid to perform?
How would you like to be the clerk
or saleswoman in the store where you
are reaping extra dividends by impos-
Ing harder conditions than the state Of
trade and the market compel you to
adopt2
How would you like to be the stoker
or weaver or mechanic on the wages
you impose?
How would you like to be the bust
ness rival whom you deprive of his
little all by using your greater wealth
in temporary cut-throat competition?

hair, he came up with a Joke about
the ice-cream freezer.
One day three men were out bear
hunting on an island. Two of them
had riher. the other had none. The
last was Bjoervig. They found bear,
wounded him, and chased him to the
top Of a glacier. There bruin stood
at bay. One of the hunters went to
the left, another to the right. Bjoervig
laborlously mounted the ice-pile to
scare the beast down where the others
might get q shot. But one of the
hunters became impatient, and started
to climb up also. On the way he lost
his footing, fell, and slid forty or fifty
feet into pocket Of soft snow.
At that moment unfortunately,
Bjoervig frightened the bear. Leaving
the summit of the ice-heap, the beast
slipped and slid straight toward the
helpless man, who was houndering up
to his armpits below. Apparently the
mans life was not worth half-kroner.
In a few seconds the bear would be
upon him, and would tear him to
Gus, desperate.
Bjoervig saw what he had to do,
He did not hesitate. He followed the
bear. From his perch at the summit he
threw himself down the precipitous
slope. He rolled, fell, slipped straight
down toward the big white bear. He
had no weapon but an oaken skee
staff, mere cane; nevertheless he made
straight for the bear.
Down the hillock slope he came
humping and leapng, and yelling at
the top of his voice. His cries, the
commotion which he raised, the vision
the bear saw of a man flying down
at him, frightened the beast half out
of his wits; diverted his attention from
the imperiled hunter to the bold pur'
suer.
This was what Bjoervig was working
for. The bear dug his mighty claws
into the ice and stopped and looked al
Bjoervig, but Bjoervig could not stop.
The slope was too steep, his momentum
too great. He dug his hands into the
crust of the snow; he tried to thrust
his skee-staff deep into the surface
1t was in vain. Now he was almost
upon the bear; the beast crouched tc
spring at him. Another second and
it would all be over. Crack! the rifle
spoke. The man down below had had
time to recover his equilibrium. An
other shot and the battle was over
Bjoeryig and the bear rolled down to-
gether.
You saved my life" said the man
with the gun, when Bjoervig had picked
himself up.
mo, no." responded Bjoervig, whip
ping the snow out of his hair, you
saved mine.'
