THE POLITE PEONS
And the Engineer Who Knew Very latte
spanish and Tried to Boss Them.


An engineer who came up a while ago
from Mexico told story about man
in his line who had a rather limited knowl-
edge Of Spanish but fancied that by COM
bining what he knew and some English
he could ldmake the poems employed on the
railway understand.
In his vocabulary we're these words:
Pard, stop; ustedes hombree. you men;
piedras. stones. and pia, road. One day
this engineer was walking up the track
and saw lot of poems standing around
doing nothing. SO he stopped and said:
@Ustedes hombres, why are you stand
ing around idle? Take those piedras and
throw them in the middle OF the ria
The always polite Mexioans smiled
and said, Isl, senor,' and the engineer
marched away. Then they debated what
he meant and decided he wanted the
stones thrown on the other side OF the
track. They started to do that and back
came the engineer.
'Pdra, ustedes honlbres. pardi Didn't
ustedes hombres hear what saidf Didn't
/ tell ustedes honbres to take those piedyas
and throw them in the middle OF the pids
Why don't you do what said?' ~
And he marched away, as the poems
90 d suaveiy. Isl. seAor.'
They had another consultation and de-
cided that what he wanted was to have
the piedras thrown clear across the track
in the other direction. So they began
again. tossing the stones back again.
The engineer came rushing back, shout
ing:
sParo, parai What is the matter with
ustedes hombres' Do ustedes hombres
take me for foolp"
He paused. and believing that he had
come to the end OF his speech the poems
bowed gravely and said: Isl. seAor.-

LITTLE TRAGEDY IN 4 TANK.
Lobsters, Crabs and Fishes Attack
Shedding Lobster at the Aquarium.

While the Aquarium now has on ex-
hibition two blue Holsters, an unusual
number, it would have three but for the
misfortune that overlook this third lobster
when lately it shed its shell.
Very young Holsters shed their shells
frequently, several times in the course
Of year, the mature Holsters less often
1t is a serious business for the lobster,
the shedding of its shell, for after 1t has
shed it's cd shell it is. until the new shell
has hardened. defenceless.
When the time has come for It to shed,
when it's body has outgrown the old hard
case and the new shell, thin and pliable
il forming under 1t the lobster seeka
cover. If at this time IL in Ia q channel
IL digs hole in the bank and crawls into
that; IL II is among rocks IL backs into a
creyice. and when the actual shedding
begins il lies on its side. s..
Then the Holsters body shell opens
along a seam down the middle OF its
back and the lobster humps and lunches
itself to get out Of the old shell through
that opening, tail first:
II takes the lobster four or Ave minutes
to drag itself out of Its shell in this way,
and when IL gets out II is 30 weak that II
might easily fall q prey 70 marine creatures
even smaller than itself IL they could set
at it. But it has secluded itself from
attack as far as II could and now IL may
push its old discarded shell out In
front Of II at the opening Of the crevice
in. which II is lying; and In; a few hours
its claws and legs smooth their wrinkled
surfaces and fill up again to their natural
shapes and Its body rounds out to a size
bigger than it was before. Then IL car
get up on its legs again, but II must still
wait for its shell TO harden, which II does
in three or four days, before 1t can onos
more make its way abroad freely In the
water world In which II lives.
So OF the lobster In nature. IL 1t has good
luck and pulls through; but now see what
befell the lobster at the Aquarium that
would have been the third blue there II
il had lived.
This lobster might have found shel.
ter among the rocks In the tank. but per
haps because II was too weak to geek II
IL began its shedding lying on the open
sand, and before IL could get. fully out
OF its shell IL was attacked. 81
In this tank there are twenty-five OF
more Holsters and az many blue crabs
and fifteen rock crabs and fifty tomoods
and they all get enough TO eat here; but
their natural cannibalistic instincts still
remain. As many OF them as could gel
near il swarmed around the helpless
shedding lobster and attacked 1t; Aand
promptly as their attack was discovered
and the shedding lobster removed from
the tank, it was too late.

BEATING THE TICKET CHOPPER.
Some Riders DO IL Deliberately On,
Vino Did II Internationally.

Who Did II Unintentionaiiy.
As a rule the ticket chopper gets the
tickets that ought to 60 in the box il q
man or a woman walks by. forgetting,
he shouts. Hey, therei Your ticket, ,
or -Your ticket, lady, as the case may be,
and 90 brings the forgetful person back;
but there are those who get away with
him.
Beating the ticket chopper can best be
done at a crowded station ip the busy
hours, when there are people passing in
TO the station platform on either side OF
the box and dropping in tickets continu-
ally. In this shower Of tickets the ab-
sence of one drop may not be noticed and
what the man does who sets out to beat
the chopper Is this:
As he comes along in the line he holds
his ticket between his finger tips and when
he comes to the box he holds his hand over
it with the motion Of dropping the ticket
in; but instead OF letting go Of it then he
turns his finger tips up and holds the
ticket against the palm OF his hand and SO
passes on with 1t; a scheme that in a crowd
may work unless the ticket chopper is
very alert.
One Iban went by a subway chopper
yesterday without dropping in his ticket;
this in a way that was entirely unexpected
TO him but Of which he took advantage
perhaps involuntarily. This man dropped
his ticket not into the box but at it from
distance Of three Of four inches up. and a
little breeze or gust OF air from some
where caught it and kept IL from dropping
into the box and in fact carried il over,
TO drop on the floor just beyond, and the
passenger, keeping coming all the time,
a.. al bot u u II a
picked the ticket up from where il had
fallen and passed on, The ticket that had
come hack TO him so unexpe pectedly he
kept. in way involuntarily, regarding IL
AS "a sort OF windfall.
SO the ticket chopper is beaten occa-
slonally; but still the great bulk OF the
tickets bought 60 into the box.
