The "Jitncyn Invasion

All that is required to be a trans

Ford car In nearly all OF the large
and many OF the small cities the git
ney' bus is cutting into the profits Of
the street car companies and making
owners OF autos rich When il was at
first suggested that owners Of ma
chimes could make any money carrying
passengers for a five cent fare il was
thought TO he impossible. a few,
wiser than the rest, started ''jitney"
lines with their machines. 1t has been
demonstrated i'm San Francisco that
the owner OF a car can clear from six
to ten dollars a day by carrying pas
sengers at the 'jitney' rate. In most
of the cities these BUSES follow the
routes of the regular street ears and
are making trips on regular schedules.
A ''jitney," by the way, is a MCKEE

When the European or American tourist first lands in Japan he at once demands Il jinrikisha. Having read of it and heard so much of it he wants an immediate experience of 1t as soon as he finds himself in the land of its birth. Almost any day one may see procession of men and women, ashore for a day or two from a steamer in port. making their way up the crowded thoroughfares of Tokyo. sitting rather awkwardly in their jinrikishas. trem- bling unbalanced over the axle, not knowing whether the thing is going to tip backward or fall forward, so loose ly does the butler seem to hold the shafts. The first time one gets into a jinrikiSha he always feels like baby. and this gawkish sensation coupled with that of the uncertainty of ones position in balancing it, renders the ex- perience not quite so pleasant as an ticinated. But the only way for con- fCrt is to sit back at ones ease and leave the responsibility to the man who pulls it.-Japan Magazine.

n D; cam Joke.

Almost every one has dreamed of writing q poem, delivering a speech or making q witty remark that seemed at the tin.e wonderfully brilliant, but that, recalled on waking, proved to be either commonplace or wholly mean ingless. That is not always the case, however, as this story, which the Rev. Washington Gladden. is fond of telling. proves.
 "I dreamed" says pr. Gladden., that the old house that formerly stood near my church was still there and that old MT. Deshler, who has been dead many years. still lived in it. l also knew that his old dog, George, who never failed to bark at me when I passed the house, still lived In my dream was passing the house when the door open ed and the old gentleman came out. followed by George, who, as usual, rushed barking up to me.
 "'Now, now. George said the old man, you ought not to do that. You know that's friend of ours. That's Dr. Gladden.
 "'Oh, I have met George before,' I responded to the introduction. Tn fact, George and I have for some time had a bowwowing acquaintance.' - EX- change.

To the Manner Born.

In Hamlet" act l, scene 4, occur these lines:
 Ay, marry. is't.
 But to my mind, though I am native here And to the manner born. it is a custom More honored in the breach than the ob-
 servance.
 Some have maintained that in this case manner" should be spelled man or" because the former was an old variant spelling of the latter. The phrase would then be applied to per son accustomed to the usages of n To- cality. But the weight of opinion fa- vors ''manner" as used, for instance. by Swinburne in the sentence, He has not the eyes and nerves of one to the manner born." In this case the phrase refers to one having a lifelong ac- quaintance with given conditions and customs. regardless of whether they are associated with a single locality.- Philadelphia Press.
