Conductor, Pull That Curtain Down."

The car was an open one and the
sun shone right straight down in her
eyes. When the conductor came TO
collect the fares, pointing like a
queen to the shade, and In cold,
harsh tone she said, Conductor, pull
that curtain down"
The conductor paid no more atten-
tion to her than TO the grinding of the
wheels. Again she hollered to him,
this time a little louder; but the con
ductor was very busy just then col
lecting fares in another part of the
car and the other passengers began TO
sit up and take notice. AS the con
ductor passed her on the way back
to the platform, he was met with:
Conductor, pull that curtain down
What are you waiting for?"
81 am waiting for you to say please,
madam" said he, quiet and courteous
Her face famed up, and thought
to myself there would be something
doing, but she was true blue.
81 should have SAID please know
said she very softly, "and ! beg your
pardon"
That curtain came down with such
bang IL nearly busted" and the rest
Of the passengers nodded and smiled
to themselves as If they felt pretty
good.-From Women Fares as the

Wanted to Help the Little Fellow

Two men were engaged in saving
timber in the Maine woods. One was
big, brawny and very fierce-looking
fellow, the other a meek and inoffen
sive little chap. They were using a
cross-cut saw. A big Irishman hap
pened along, and after standing there
few minutes watching them pull
back and forth, decided that the big
one was trying TO take advantage of
the other. The Irishman reprimand-
ed the big fellow, which caused row.
After Pat had given him good
thrashing he turned and said:
Now, giss yell let the little fel-
low hove it begorry!"-From Judges

He has been doing 1t all his life. Usual
ly his ideas are sartorial. Occasion

an idea which all the world, fashion
able or commonplace. can approve. His
latest is one of great humanity. No
horse is ever sold from the royal
stables after it has outlived its use

This is a source of much financial loss

Threshing With Goats.

Upon little mesa high up from San

the Rio Santa Fe and the Rio Tesque,
cultivate. harvest, and thresh their
crops Of grains. beans. and chill In
the primitive manner introduced by
the Spaniards five hundred years ago,
This is the season Of threshing grain.
The herds of goats and sheep have
been brought down from the noun
tains to the corrals and are being
made To do the work which machinery
has long since taken from them else
where. The native boys first select
n fat, level plot OF ground and after
clearing il of all grass or other fol
iage wet IL thoroughly. With wooden
fails, the ground Is then beaten until
IL is solid. 1t is left to dry I'm the sun.
| The grain Is stacked I'm the centre OF
this adobe floor and the goats or sheep
driven about IL in rapid circle. AS
| the sharp hoofs of the little animals
strike out the grain ranchero with
wooden fork throws down more
straw from the stack. After the grain
has been thoroughly trampled under
foot, the goats are driven aside and
the straw Is tossed in the air with
| the wooden forks or sticks. The wind
blows away the chaff and the straw
Is piled To one side. The grain is
then gathered into sacks and stored
for the winter.-Kansas City Star.

One Deaf Man in Russia.

A man was walking up the Neglinii
Prolese. He was deaf and could not
hear the noise OF the firing. After n
time he was wounded in the leg. He
saw the blood trickling on the snow
and he made the sign Of the cross and
lay down and folded his arms togoth-
er, resigning himself to fate. After
a time a poodle came along the street
and began smiling at his head. This
was more than he could bear, and he
jumped up again, and not noticing
anything particular going on, pur-
sued his way quietly home.-From
