THE CONVENTION HABIT.
Whenever a Few of Our People Get

list had this tendency in mind, says
Youths Companion. when he proposed
the organization of Il League for Letting
Things Alone.
During the vacation season just closed,
when men and women have had time to
crafty their taste for talk, the papers
have been full of the reports of the meet
ings of congresses of all sorts. The
delegates have gathered from various
parts Of the land. have snapped" ex-
periences. have elected officers for the
ensuing year. and then have gone home.
Their pleasure in attending the con-
ventions has been mingled with a modi-
cum of profit. Pleasure and profit. ad-

Of those who indulge themselves in the

Senator Ccckren tells of the case of Q
young man who once appeared before the
commission appointed in Missouri to exam
ine applicants for admission to the bar OF
that state. 1t appears, says the New York
Herald, that this youthful applicant. who
had failed miserably in all that pertained
TO jurisprudence, civil law, case law,
sumptuary law and due process of law, was
finally asked by Mr.. Vest, for long time
senator from Missouri, whether there re-
manned any questions which the young man
would like to have put to him.

mark in the branches of law upon which

doubt that you viii succeed in the law.

miiiarity with the statutes, what's to pre-

RAISING AsTREET BLOCKADE
One Stubborn Horse Was No Match
Tor q 1900 HORSEPOWER
Trolley Car.

1t Is a familiar sight now, the start
ing up of stalled truck by trolley car
pushing it; but it seems TO interest
people just as much as it did when IT
was new. says the New York Sum-
Here, for instance, was a two-horse
truck with a heavy load halted on the
slope in Fulton street. between Church
street and West Broadway Good team.
and able to haul the load, but the nigh
horse had got tired half way up tAe
slope and decided TO take rest; and. of
course, that tied up the whole business.
In q bad place. too. on that hill.
The man with the driver got down
and touched up the stubborn nigh horse
with the whip. but that only made him
moro stubborn, and incidentally made
him kick out sideways in an obviously
earnest endeavor to injure the man with
the whip.
Outfit still stalled; and driver with
a big two-horse express wagon comes
up behind and sets his pole against the
load on the truck and starts his horses
and tries to help in that way, but now
neither horse OF the stalled team will
pull. The off horse not hanging back
stubbornly like the nigh horse, but is
standing still and resting, taking ad
vantage Of the situation created by his
more pugnacious team mate.
So there's nothing doing with the
help of the express team, and pretty
soon the express driver sheers off and
drives around the stalled truck and
passes on. But then something hap
pens.
Just as the big express wagon sheered
of, a big Eighth avenue car swung
around the corner from West Broadway
into Fulton street. on it's way to South
Ferry and quickly closed up on the
stalled truck, which was halted square
on the track The motorman didn't
waste any time, nor did he make any
fuss over it; he just set his brake when
he was about six feet away and then
strapped up his fender against the
dashboard of his car and mounted the
platform again and nursed the ear up
to the tail of the truck.
II was nicely done. You couldn't
hear il when they came together, with
the iron-bound end of the truck resting
against the heavy end guard of the car,
with the turned-up fender between.
And then the motorman turned on

horse; and before the truck had been

riences before and knew there was

who had been enjoying a rest without
any effort on his part. settled down. too.
and the team walked away with the load
without trouble.
And with the team walked on a bunch
of sidewalk spectators who, apparent
ly, had found in this illustration of the
effectiveness of the trolley car as

ment as they did in the first one they
