also had goveruesges Of various nation

music. Although they have never beea
in the United States. they expressed a
strong desire 10 see the country, and It
is probable they will make an extended
trip through the States before long.

number OF ludicrous mistakes a man
can make when he tries to get into one
Of the newfangled devices for the first
time
That reminds me Of an incident I saw
In Philadelphia soon after pay-as5ou-
enter cars were put on the line. 4 man
stepped out from the curb. and tagged
the motorman. The car stopped. The
would-be passenger. with a cigar in his
mouth. stepped aboard. and. according 10
his usual custom. backed into the corner
OF the platform and went on smoking.
You can't smoke there said the con
ductor. who wss standing behind the
glass fare box.
The man took the cigar out OF his
mouth and held Il IN his hand. Then the
conductor remembered the passenger had

the most obvious thing IN the world 10
do, but II is always q stumbling block.
The people have gotten accustomed 70
going out by the door through which they
entered, and for a while they resent
any orders 20 the contrary. In such
cases the conductors bear the brunt OF
all the III feeling that is aroused. and
their Job IS thankless one for several
weeks after the new system is Inaugu-

The conductor remains unmoved. The
other passengers crane their necks TO see
how the thing IS going TO come out. OF
