THE TICKET CHOPPER.
Some Cheats in the World, But Lots
of Nice People.


why, certainly" said the ticket
chopper, I'VE try to be accommodating
Why shouldn't we be? We're all in
the same boat, aren't we? Why
shouldn't we help each other? If a
man tries to beat me, walk past with
out paying, or works his fingers over
the box trying to make me think he's
dropped a ticket in, why, I'm onto
him; but if he treats me on the level,
why, l do all l can for him.
Here's a man rushes up and drops
his ticket in the box and takes a turn
or two round the platform and then
all of a sudden he remembers that he
wants a newspaper and back he comes
want a newspaper he says. DO
you suppose you can remember me
when l come back?'
Now, you know, there's millions of
people crowding in past this box all
the time and ! might say to him:
How do you suppose / am going
to remember you among all these peo-
ple? But what | do say TO him is:
Sure! and he goes out and gets his
paper and when he comes back he
mods to me and / nod TO him, and he
passes in and we're both comfortable
and easy
PLENTY of men forget something
and want to go for it; and now and
then there's a woman. Nice old lady
came through this morning, and in
a minute she comes back to me.
I've come away without my
glasses, she says, and can't see n
thing without them VIII you let
me in again without buying another
ticket when ! come back? / say:
Certainly, madam, and she goes
off to get them, and comes back in a
few minutes smiling and says. Thank
you, and walks in without a ticket,
pleased TO be remembered, and I'm
pleased TO think that | could do her
that little service.

If a sample of water contains much
organic matter living or dead, it may
be considered dangerous. There are
several simple tests for organic mat
ter in water. Twenty grams or nearly
two tablespoonfuls of a concentrated
solution of tannin may be added to n
glassful of water. If The water be
comes turbid in less than an hour it
should be rejected. Another test is the
addition of few drops of a l to 1000
solution of potassium permanganate
TO glass of water and the pink tint
produced should not disappear. These
tests are more valuable if made in
conjunction with control tests made
with distilled water known to be pure.

John DIS Simple Tastes.

Mr.. Rockefeller is democratic in all
his habits and tastes. In cold weather
he wears paper waistcoat, as he be-
lieves that paper more than anything
else will keep the chest and stomach
warm. He also wears old-fashioned
woolen gloves, and when he is seen
outdoors on wintNr's day he looks
more like an old Yankee farmer than
the richest man in the world. He also
takes great care of his stomach, and
always did. When he is at work on
any puzzling problem he eats SPAR
ingly, and recently, when downtown
at his desk in No 26 Broadway, he
would eat nothing more than a 15-
cent meal. This is not SO much for
economy, however, as for the good of
his health. and many will admit that
Mr.. Rockefeller pursues the proper
course in abstaining from heavy
meals.

FIELD OF HONOR COMMISSION.
Practices Seem Absurd To-Day, But
Had Their Place In History.

Perhaps wit is stimulated by q
slight arrangement of the nerves, and
good things said on the field of battle
are sometimes recorded. When Bully
Egan" fought Curran with pistols the
bulky Egan complained that his oppo-
nent was as thin as a blade of grass.
Let my size be chalked out upon
your body" said Curran, "and any hits
outside of the line shall not count"
1t was not good form, however, to
make parade of magnanimity, and
the coxcombical practice of firing in
the air or dumb shooting" or "chil.
dren's play" was strictly prohibited by
the rules, of which SO were drawn up
by representatives of the five most
eminent counties-Galway, Tipperary

They met at the summer assizes at
Clonmel and seem to have done their
work very gravely and honestly, in
Guiding special rule for Simple, un-
premeditated encounters with the

ment of absurdity about it all, no
doubt, but even dueling has had its
place as rough, inefficient test of
manhood
