KNEW BETTER THAN TO INSIST.
Conductor Willing to Miss Fare Un.
der the Circumstances.

There was determined looking
woman on the far end OF the seat OF
the car, and as the conductor began
to pass along the running board to
collect his fares the colonel got out
his own nickel and asked the woman
II he should pass hers
He'll get no nickel from me-" was
her brusque reply.
Excuse me, but I thought you had
to pay"
We'll, you watch out and see
whether | have to or not. II do then
there'll be such a row on this car as
you haven't seen for year"
The conductor came along and the
colonel handed over his fare and
watched. The man stood for mo-
ment looking the woman in the face,
and she returned the look without
finching. Then he seemed to sigh
as he passed on.

woman.

WHY BE GRABBED ABOUT Aee7
One Instance, at Least, In Which II
Brought No Good.

At the dinner that the Chicago
Press club gave in Edward Payson
Westons honor. TIE veteran pedes-
trian said of old age:
Age is r. cri-'e, but you would
think so from the way some people
try to conceal It, We can give the lie
to age by being gay. vigorous, bouyant,
and II is foolish of us to resent our
burden of years in any other manner.
THE aged Ben Davies of St. Joseph
resented his years in foolish. crusty,
surly way.
Hello, old man Davies!' an elder
ly st. Joseph lawyer said to him one
morning.
odd Davies snarled. Old, hey?
Well, how about yourself? I'm no old
er than you are. What's your earliest
recollection
The lawyer grinned at old man
Davies and replied:
well, let me see. Yes, | think
that's 1t. My earliest recollection is
hearing folks say: There goes old
man Davies.

Had TO BE MORE EXPLICIT.
Dear Grandpa" Conveyed Little to
Post Office Officials.

A member of the Yale basketball
team which played here a night or
two ago received check-a present In
three figures-from his grandfather
who lives in New Jersey town. The
check, as matter of fact, was fake
prepared by William L. Lush, the
Yale coach, formerly left fielder on
the Cleveland baseball team, who was
here with the team. But fake or no
fake the recipient of the check got
mighty excited.
He raced right across the Hollenden
lobby to the telegraph desk, the min.
ute he saw the size Of the check, and
wrote out telegram as follows:
Dear Grandpa, --, New Jersey.
Thanks very much for check. This is
a receipt. Your grandson" He wrote
II just that way
Then he hustled into the writing
room to thank grandpa more fully by
letter.
While he was preparing the letter a
bellboy brought him back his tele-
gram, along with the 80 cents-he
had paid to send ito in pennies
and this was written across the mes

Expert testimony may be valuable

"All right Oill come in tomorrow
on me way from worruk"
The Irishman had reached the door,
but he suddenly stopped with his hand
on the latch.
And how much will thot 'nalysis
be costing me?' he inquired.
Five dollars was the answer.
The man walked over to the coun.
ter and swept the lozenges into the
bag, which he replaced in his pocket.
"Niver moind," he said. "Oi'll feed

Every Canadian ? Villaeer.

Perhaps every Cana tan does not
know that he is ''vil!ager," says the
London News. For the country owes
its name to curious misconception
on the part of NJ. ia .ues Cartier,
who is credited with the discovery Of
the st. Lawrence. He could make but
little out of the conversation of the
natives. and. hearing item frequently
use the word "Kanata," their name
for a village, he fell into the mistake
of supposing that 1t was the name OF
their country. Thus, in more than
one sense, has Canada grown from a
little village to a great state.

Grain as a Weight.

The name grain" as weight orig
mated in curious way. The old Eng.
lish pound was equivalent to the
weight of 1850 grains of wheat, taken
from the middle of the ear" This
gives 4S0 to each of the 10 ounces of
which the pound was composed. Al.
though the standard Is now entirely
different, the fact that there are still
$50 grains to the ounce Troy and the
ounce apothecaries weight carries us
back to the time Of the Conquest, and
shows us how the name grain orig.
mated.
