persons passed through Westminster

 As soon as seated he looked about for something to meddle with, and espied push-hutton, which is used in notify ing the conductor to stop the car.
 After he had successfully ''rung up' the conductor, two or three times, that worthy sentlemans temper began to Ego up," He approached the fond mama and in polite but firm tones informed her that she must make her son behave, and added that the button had been placed there for business, and not to be used as a plaything. Fond mamma viewed him with a calm, cold stare, which was evil dcntly meant to show him his place" With tilted chin, she remarked in a tone which should have reduced MT Conduc- tor to a state of abject humility.

 Jerking her son to his feet with force enough to dislocate his arm, she beat a hasty retreat, amid the suppressed tit ters of the crowd.
