SOME WOMEN HAZE TO PAY
Resort to Various Schemes to Beat
street Car Company, Says
Conductor.

Some women will work all sorts of
schemes to get out of paying their fare"
said conductor on a Farnam street. car
yesterday, with a savage look on his face.
See that woman back there? l asked
her for her fare and put out my hand for 1t.
she looked up at the man by her side as
much as to say, He is my husband The
man gave me quarter and l took out 10
cents. He refused to stand for it and made
roar, telling me he was paying only his
own fare. l stepped back in front of the
woman and asked her why she hadn't
given me her fare. Then she dug up. They
often work this scheme and many men
would rather be imposed upon than make a
fuss about a nickel"
A comon scheme Is to point to the rear
end of car, implying that an escort is
on the platform. When the car is crowded,
the conductor. after failing to find the
escort, will not go back after the fare, one
night not long ago, six women on a Farnam
street car, pointed to the rear platform.
The men riding behind all said they were
alone. The conductor stopped the car and
said he would not allow II to proceed until
every woman had paid her fare One of the
women became indignant when he insisted
on having her money. and the poor con-
ductor rang the bell in disgust.

CANADIAN RAILWAY DEFENDANT
Attorney II. $. Hall Demands $4,000
of Canadian Pacific for Per-

Attorney Richard 5. Hall has filed suit
in the district court of Douglas county
against the Canadian Pacific Railway COM

that he was travelling as a regular passen-
ger on one of the defendant company's
trains in the Northwest Territory on Sep
TENDER ?, 1906 on approaching the town
of Field an announcement was made that
an eating station was at hand. Being
hungry and thirsty Mr.. Hall went to alight
to sink his teeth in the railroad fare, (they
had already gotten his fare, he avers). He
sets up now, after much physical and men
tai suffering, that there was a space Of
at least two feet between the station plat
form and the train. He was not warned
of this hiatus of dangerous vacancy, into
which he stepped with disastrous results, to
his serious and permanent injury" and

THE LIFE AFTER DEATH.
BuIwer-Lytton Believed It Would Be
Progressive.

A Welsh lady, writing in Black
woods Magazine on her visit to Kneb-
worth in 1857, says that Sir Edward
Bulwer-Lytton spoke thus on the sub
ject of spirits:
He said he did not believe we should
reach the highest heaven when we die.
NO." he continued, "it is not likely
that We, imperfect as we are, should
be suddenly ushered into the Divine
Presence on leaving this world; our
minds would not be prepared for so
much glory; we are far too sinful for
that. We shall pass through success
i've stages of existence, rising higher
and higher until we reach the fullness
of knowledge and of happiness. We
cannot expect instant transition from
darkness to light, which to us would
be insufferably bright. Does not
everything progress? Is not progress
sion the order of all Gods work here?
Why not hereafter? 1t is strange" he
went on. that all spirits, when ques-
tened about heaven, agree in stating
that into our next stage of being we
shall carry the pursuits and character
istics of mind which are ours on
earth, but all refined and ennobled.
None of then, however. profess to
have reached 20 the great knowledge
ef our final heaven, nor to know by
what means we shall pass from one
stage to another"

PAY FOR GOVERNMENT WORK
Averages About the Same as in Pri-
vate Employment.

NdkS GIHPiSyihS"N'
In regard to the compensation for
government work, intelligent observa-
ton will probably confirm the cpl
grammatic statement in the newspa.
rer witticism that has lately gone the
rounds to the effect that the pay is
small for some public officials, but
that some public officials are small
for the pay. AS a rule, the lower pc
sitions in the government service are
paid more, and the higher positions
less, than in private business. In
most of the offices advancement is
slower, but that is partly compensated
for by the fact that the pay is higher
CT the whole in the earlier years. A
man who has worked ten years for
Uncle Sam will probably have. had a
gross income about equal to what a
man of similar abilities, working the
same length of time, would have re-
ceived from railroad company. At
the start his salary would have been
better than the railroad mans but the
latter in all likelihood would have
caught up with him and outstripped
him in the ten-year period. In the
long run, one evens up with the 9TH
Ell. This statement applies to the
general departmental positions in

An eminent physician says that
'Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with un-
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information tC
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands OF women are now corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
SO that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon. which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.
