HUM0R OF LONDON CABBIES.
Some of Their Remarks When the Tip
 Is Not Forthcoming.

Some of the hanson fraternity of London have no sense of humor, but the majority are decidedly facetious examples of witty and sarcastic "cab- byisms"
 To annreciate them nrnnerly if must be understood that the fare has offered a single shilling in payment for ride just within the two mile limit
 Are you quite sure you can spare this?" remarks the cabby with q bump of humor Dye think you'll be able to rub along on the other nineteen till next Friday? It's goin' the pace, y'know."
 If you'll take my tip, guy'nor," runs another form of gentle repToach, you'll go and see an Oculist. You 'ailed this bus by mistake You wants a red or green or yellow bus. Black ain't in your line at all"
 Thank yer, gov'nor," says another cabby, with apparent emotion; thank yer, kindly. Yer offer Is well meant, but couldn't go for to do it." Saying which he makes pretense of handing the shilling back to the astonished fare. But I can't sell him, guv'nor, and that's q fact Yer 'andsome hof- ser'd make me rich for life, but tell yer can't sell i'm"
 One cabby. who was an excellent ac- tor, on receiving his shilling burst into tears and between his loud sobs jerked out: I'm sorry you force 1t On me, guv'nor, I am really. The hincome tax people'll be down on me now"
 An excellent ''cabbyism" was perpe- trated in the suburbs one night. As the fare let himself into the house he was reealed somewhat as follows: "Go in quietly, sir, in case the old wo- man wakes up and ears me driviH' away. She might stop the rest of yer pocket money for this extravagance."

k7GEgis's Raise In Wages Brought Un'
 expected Results.
 Mrs. Baker, a well to do lady in one cf the suburbs of a large eastern city, was fortunate in having an excellent servant. Maggie was capable. quick ana good natured. Most of the lady's friends were less fortuna te-in fact, few of them were without their distinct trials At all the fashionable gather n.s the conversation turned, like e ne 'tlle to the pole. straight to the sub jcct of servants.
 Mrs Baker said very little, for she had often noticed that an announce mcIt or perfect satisfaction in the do- nestle line was frequently followed later on by a second announcement tC the effect that the perfect maid had been offered higher wages by Mrs. So and-so and had gone to get them. Therefore Mrs. Baker followed Br'er Rabbits tactics of "layin' low"
 More than this, she decided to be very diplomatic She would offer Mag Gie more wages herself and thus secure her before any one else had a chance. SGe was pleased with her plan.
 NOW. Maggie" she said the next morning. you've been very faithful and cheerful during this hot summer and through DOrOthy's illness, and like your work so well that I'm going to raise your wages from $5 to $6''
 Maggie thanked her, and Mrs. Baker smiled at the thought of her own as tuteness.
 On Monday morning. few days lat CT, she had occasion to visit her kitch- CD after breakfast Instead of encoun- tering the usual smell of suds and steam, she found Maggie seated at the table.
 "Why. where's the washing?" she asked. Whats the matter? Are you m?"
 "Oh, mo- num-" replied Maggie airiIy. "I ain't sick. But none of the girls as gets S6 does any washing. The six dol lar girls has it done fer 'um, you know"
 Mrs. Baker has not tried any more diplomatic plans.-Youth's Companion.
