WOMEN CASHIERS
ON TROLLEY CARS
Replace Conductors on the New-Fangled
Philadelphia Elec-
tries.

Philadelphia, Sept. ls.--The Philadel-
pha Rapid Transit company is experi-
mentng with women conductors on its
new "pay-as-you enter ears. Two of
the ticket sellers from the Market
street Il" were detailed to act as con
ductors on the new cars. While none
OF the officials commlNSit on the result
of the experiment, it is known thar
they are pleased.
On the new ears the conductor is mere
ly cashier He, or she, sits within a
cagelike Enclosure and merely receives
the fare and makes change and then re.
cords the receipts. Electric switches
have relieved the necessity of aiding
the motorman and there is no adjust
ing of trolleys. Men are not necessarily
required for the work The chief aim of
the company, however, is to do away
with as many of the causes of labor
difficulties as possible.

Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 1.-THE
opening session of the Hungarian parlia
ment was marked by wild outburst of
feeling to-day, and only the Intervention
of the party leaders prevented a free
fight. The royal decree at the opening
session was read without anybody hear
ing a word, and feeling was raised to
fever heat when the opposition mem
bers asked the deputy of the govern
ment party whether he had a revolver
with him.

1t is not written in books of fate
that the Fourth of July is any day to
propose to a girl.
Christmas day, Thanksgiving day.
New Years day, or any other day will
do, but the Fourth is not romantic;
1t is patriotic. On that day man is
supposed to love his native land. He
is to listen to speeches, or make them,
about the indivisibility of our country.
He is to watch the Acknowledgement
they are permitted-and not do any
sparkling on his own account.
Every day is Fourth of July to some
men. They have made up their minds
that they hope to marry certain girl,
but when it comes to stating their de-
of the mouth and the right arm seems
to have lost its cunning.
Jim Hicks was such a man. When
love making was concerned, all days
were the Fourth for him. Otherwise
his name would have been Armand
Decourcey. AS it was, he was Just
what you would expect of a man Of
that name.
Jim had been keeping company"
off and on with Luella Miller for a
matter of three years. This guaran-
iced him certain standing as her
beau" but what woman wants to 90
on forever that way?
On Luella's mind was the one i'm
! portant thought which rests upon the
mind of every woman when she has
found the right man. That was to
make Jim propose. The romantic no
| ton that a woman in love is a coy,
blushing thing, timorous, trembling,
afraid of the great masculine creature.
may be justified in some cases. But
with the Luellas and Jims of this
world 1t does not obtain. Luella had
exhibited to Jim her dizziness as a
cook; she had acquainted him with
her cleverness as ,needleworker, she
had demonstrated over and over that
she would make an ideal wife.
Rut Jim hadn't proposed.
Consequently, on the Fourth, when
Luella saw Henry Nelson, the bad boy
of the village, with a huge cannon
cracker he had kept secreted since
last year, and which he proposed to
explode somewhere during the day OF
evening, she made war plans.
Henry" she said, don't you know
it's against the law to have such a
| firecracker?"
"Aw," Henry muttered. IT don't
know"
well, it is. And If the marshal
finds it out he will put you in the
lookup as an example"
cav! Somebody's always maxim q
example O. me. s'pose you're goin
to go an blab on me now"
81 won't, if you'll do something fol
me-and it will be a whole lot Of
I fun for you, Henry"

Rules
Jefferson
Lived By

The hundred and sixty-eighth ami
versary of the birth of Thomas JEFF
ferson was celebrated with a big BAN
quet in indianapolis April IS. In this
connection Jefferson's ten rules Of
dfe, which follow, will be of interest:
l. Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
8. Never spend money before you
have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want
because it is cheap; it will be dear

5. Pride costs US more than hunger.
thirst and cold.
g. We never repent of having eaten
too little.
T. Nothing is troublesome that we
do willingly.
s. How much pain have cost us the
evils which have never happened.
9. Take things away by their
smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten becore

ciples of government advocated by

"Wot?"
Don't you want to play a good joke
on Jim Hicks?"
"Awl He's your Teller"
We'll, anyhow, Henry, I'll tell you
how to play a good joke on him, and
I'll help you to do it. You come uu
by our house this evening, and jim
will be there. I'll get him to stand
at the gaze and talk to me, and you
slip up and set off your big firecracker
right behind him. That1l scare him
half to death, and will be just lots Of
fun for you"
Jaw! Wot dye want to scare him
fer?"
well, you know how big and strong
he is, and how brave he acts. Let's
see if we can't get a good one on him,
Henry"
"Aw! I was goin' to shoot this off
behind the school teacher"
But at last Luella managed to con.
vince Henry that he could have more
fun with the cannon cracker by ex.
ploding it behind Jim than If he set
1t Off anywhere else.
Jim never has Understood why In.
ella was waiting at the gate for him
that evening, nor why she kept him
standing there, talking Of the weather
and the crowd down town and this.
that, and everything. It had always
been her custom to greet him at the
front door, and to express surprise at
seeing him. This is one of the enjoy
able fictions of courtship.
Il think it is so lovely when the
stars come out as they are coming out
tonight, don't your" Luella was asking
Jim.
Bang!l
Luella shrieked and tainted dead
away, apparently, but she tainted
toward Jim in such a manner that the
gate swung open and she reposed
Imply against his manly bosom.
Under the circumstances, there was
but one thing Jim could do, and that
was to keep her from falling to the
ground. This is best accomplished in
the case of fainting lady by placing
your arms about her and allowing her
head to rest on your shoulder. This
comes natural to most men. What
else Jim did, and what he said to
Luella to calm her fears and to re-
viye her to consciousness may only be
conjectured.
Henry Nelson, however, kept I'D a
derisive series of yells and bowls of
laughter, and Luella at last opened
her eyes and asked dreamily:
Where am II"
Henry shouted: "Awl He was a.
huggin' you, an he kissed you'll"
Then Henry turned and fed. Jim

MEANT TO REVEAL BEAUTY
That is tho Real Object OF Dress;
According to the Idea OF
Boston Man.

Dress so as to reveal your beauty,
At least that is the advice given by
Joseph Lee, a school committeeman OF
Boston, in a recent speech before the
National Conference OF Charities and
Corrections. He takes issue with
those who have declared that the mod
ern girls costume is somewhat too
frank In the revelation OF feminine
charms, saying that dress should be
used to reveal, not to conceal beauty.
and that girls should be taught this.
In speaking of what boys need, he
SAYS they should be made more ro-
mantle. Girls turn naturally, he says,
to Laura Jean Libby, but boys have to
be led. and should be led. to ro-
nance
In his address he declared that the
attraction of the sexes should be put
to its natural task Of producing
strength and beauty instead Of being
permitted to go to waste. or worse.
"One way" said Lee, SIS the promo
ton Of romance. Girls are already
sufficiently romantic. but boys should
read Scott and Lorna Doone' while
still young enough to take them seri'
ously Singing is loves native tongue,
and must be brought back from the
professionals into our daily life Dress
making-from Praxiteles and Botti
ceIli down to Worth-is the art not oil
hiding but of revealing beauty, and
should be taught to all girls in that in
tention. The danger in our dance
halls and In any art Is in the too sim
pie rhythm which acts, like alcohol. al
an anaesthetic, relaxing the conven
tional !nhibitions and putting con
science to Sleep"
