How Railroad Conductor Collected
Fare from ChiId's Mother.

How Railroad Conductor Collected
Fare from ChiId's Mother.
Some people on the outside think
that women passengers are the joy of
a conductors life" said a railroad con-
ductor yesterday. but the experience
of every conductor is against such an
opinion. for good reasons.
Nov, the men understand that they
will be treated exactly according to
their deserts. and they take care to
act entirely inside their rights. For
themselves or their family on a ride
without making the proper arrange
ments with the company.
The greatest trouble we have with
women passengers is, that they insist
on taking children from to 10 years
old without paying any fare. To-day
mad an experience of this kind, handed
on from brother conductor at a con-
Meeting point. Somewhere in Tonnes
see woman boarded his train, having
with her little girl about years old
According to the other conductors sto-
~, when he insisted on her paying a
halt rate for the child the woman made
several bluffs which failed. and then
hnally declared she had not a cent of
money.
She doubtless thought that this
would be finish for the official. but
IN that she was disappointed. Pushing
open the door into the end of the car
occupied by the men. the conductor
called out. Gentlemen, there's a lady
In here in distress. She's got a little
girl with her who must pay half far
and she has no money half doz N
men eagerly made up the sum. When
the men saw the object of their bene =
factions, they We're somewhat surprised,
for the woman was we'll dressed, SIS
was also the child
We'll. when the junction point came
l was put next to the story, and
sometime before the train left I inform
ed the woman that she must get half
rate ticket for the child. She said that
she only had a little over a dollar end
offered that 7 should search her be-
longlngs. proposition which 1 prompt
~ turned down. merely warning her
that the child must have a ticket.
Il suppose she must have feared that
would also take up a. collection for
the child's fare. for she had the ticket
to say that nowhere else do women
thus endeaVor to make the weakness of
their sex protection against their JUS
charges. I suppose they reason that
no conductor would be rude enough to
put a child off the train, and in this
they are right. but the wise conductor
is the one who knows how to meet such
little games.

HAD TO BEG FOR HIS.

'Cap'n, Cap'n; oh, Cap'n. Cap'n,
gimme five cents. I'm parrerlized en- er
ain got nuthin ter eat. Cap'n pay mer
way back ter town."
This appeal was made at Isle of Hope,
and the passenger to whom it was ad-
dressed gave up the necessary fare, and
the half-grown, afflicted negro who was
the beneficiary, lapsed into silence and
a grateful cessation of the politely and
redundantly applied title that had
never been earned in martial endeavor.
A lieutenancy had been the limit of the
military achievement of the passenger.
When the city was reached the pas
senger was again besought for five
cents ter git me some supper" and the
same profusion of title was employed.
The "Cap'n," however suggested that
the mendicant hold up somebody else
for the supper, feeling that he had done
as much as might properly be expected
OF him in having paid the homeward
fare
The beggar acted upon the sugges-
ton, and presently the "Cap'n" heard
him "boning'' another passenger while
the Whitaker street car was waiting at
the junction. Evidently everybody was
"capn" to the needy one, for he was as
generous with the title as he had been
IN the first instance.
"Cap'n. I'm suttinly hongry; | ain
had nuthin since breakfus. Cap'n,
gimme five cents
What did you have for breakfast"
4 had poke chops, en- chicken, en-
eggs. en- beefsteak, en- hominy, en- cof-
fee'
Why confound you. you had bet
ter breakfast than did"
Yessir, Cap'n, but / has ter beg for
everything 1 gifts" was the staggering
reply.
"Cap'n femme have dat five cents en-
I'll do you err favor some time. I'll
carry er package fer you, er do some
min like dat. Cap'n, I'll show you er
trlck if you gimme dat five cents"
An right, show your trick" said
Cap'n" No. 2, and thereupon the af-
mcted one put his left thumb under his
[ehin, locked his right thumb with his
Attle finger of the left hand and pro-
coded to beat out Dixie" upon his
teeth. The Gathering worries yielded
block.
Well, 1t wasn't worth it. but here's
your five cents"
Thank you, Cap'n," and the boy
went off, looking for more "eapns."

DISCUSSES EDUCATED
MEN In POLITICS
Judge Parker Says England Has an
Advantage Over Amerca

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-In an article
on Educated Men in Politics." pub
llshed here in the current number of a
magazine, Judge Alton B. Parker
draws an unfavorable contrast between
that class in America and the corre-
spending one in England. He says:
"A man who would succeed in buSi-
ness should begin at the bottom and
work toward the top, which he may
reach if he masters every detail and
proves himself more skilIful than those
who are vying with him in the strug-
gle for it's ultimate control. The same
rule applies in politics. There are ex-
ceptions to the rule, but they tend to
prove it, as exceptions usually do.
Young men, therefore, should be con-
tent to begin at the foot of the po-
litical ladder. Wherever your home
may be there you will find, on investi-
cation, a chance for helpfulness. In
nearly every town, county and city
government the expenses are rapidly
increasing.
Although for considerable portions
of the increase corresponding benefits
are being received, the tendency to
wastefulness and extravaganza is not
only marked, but it already threatens
our municipalities in the not far dis
tant future with a burden that will be
borne with exceeding difficulty. This
is due largely to the fact that men of
education, supplemented by profess
sional and business training, are un-
willing to contribute, as did their ia
theirs in the past, some portion of their
time and ability toward the duties of
local government The result natu-
rally is that too many men with little
at stake and without any ambition to
be useful to the community in which
they live, seek and obtain local eXecu-
