DoDGING THE CONDUCTOR.
A Ticket Not Called For and Case of
Guilty Conscience.

A Ticket Not Called For and Case of
Guilty Conscience.
sHave you collected at the front
end of the carp" asked a man on
the rear platform of the conductor
as he bit the end from his after din
ner cigar.
''Going up there now. Fare,
please"
"Here, this is for me, and here's
one for that big fellow with the
brown derby up in front. Pretend
you don't notice him." And the
seeming altruist tore off two tickets
from his waning sdollar stack"
Now, whenever any one raises his
voice above a conversational pitch
the rear platform brigade will in
variably assume a sudden interest
in the speaker. pretend you don't
notice him." These were the in
structions he had given to the CON
ductor. What's up? Evidently a
humorist! Something up his sleeve!
Let's see what happens!
As the conductor approached
him, cleaning fares right and left
with pitiless accuracy, the man with
the brown derby steadied himself
laboriously against another passen-
ger, took a ticket from his side
pocket and held it in readiness for
the conductor. At that moment the
car stopped; the interest of the in
dividual in the blue coat was divert
ed to the bell cord, and as the car
started ahead he collected the fare
Of the passenger beyond the tall
man.
In flash he assumed an intense
interest in the advertisements.
Then he looked furtively out of the
corner Of his eye at the departing
figure Of the conductor, carefully
palmed the ticket and concentrated
his attention upon the advertise
ments. A guffaw arose on the rear
platform just as the ticket slid out
Of sight within the spacious palm
of the gentleman who was absorbed
in a gaudily colored can of beans.
The conductor was forced to
make several collections at the
front end of the car during the ride
toward the business section. The
owner Of the brown derby became
visibly more nervous at each one
of these trips and from time to
time bit small corners from the
concealed piece of cardboard which
he held in his hand. At one time
the conductor bumped into him; he
gave frightened little cry and in
his confusion stuck the remainder
of the little piece of cardboard in
his mouth.
ssThere." said the man who orig
inally had paid the fare for the tall
man with the brown derby. Gle has
swallowed his ticket. Why, what's
the matter? He's going to get OF.
The car has to go two more squares
till we get to his place of business
I guess he can't stand it. It's his
conscience. Now, when we pass him
everybody yell Fare, pleasep'
The car had stopped. and then
it started ahead once more. The
tall man was looking guiltily at the
ground as he waited for the car to
pass him, and then a mighty roar
rose from the rear platform:
ssHev, vou-fare, please"
He gave one startled look. crossed
the street in limited number of
bounds. and then the brown derby
was lost in the crowd on the side
walk. Indianasolis News.

SAVE YOUR BARN TIMBERs.
Care and Attention Will Often Avert
Need of Rebuilding.

Care and Attention Will Often Avert
Need of Rebuilding.
A carpenter was telling me the other
day that he knew Of barn which had
been new silled three times in the
space of sixteen years, says GORE
spondent of the American Cultivator.
Think of what burden of work and
expense that would be.
But that is what is going on all over
the country every year. The sills.
sleepers and posts of our barns rot
away, and we must replace them or
let the buildings go down.
The trouble many times in such
cases is that we have not provided air
enough around our foundation tim
bers. Nothing rots timber like being
shut. away from the air.
Now, by putting here and there in
the wall of our barns small frame of
plank, say. eight inches square and
building the stones or cement about it
we have furnished opportunity for the
air to get in and lengthen the life OF
our timbers. Over these squares we
may tack piece Of wire cloth to keep
out cats and other small animals.
Especially is some such thing needed
if the building is one in which we
sometimes wash the wagons and car
riages with hose or with pail OF
water and sponge. The water trick
ling down. added to the lack Of ven
tilation. will soon cause the best OF
timbers to decay. In such cases there
ought to be good drainage as well as
an opening for the air to get In about
the wood.
Some kinds of wood are more sus-
ceptible to decay than others. OF our
native woods red beech, chestnut or
oak is probably the best.
