Only Accept Passengers When
They Look Like easy
Money and Plenty
Of Tips.

London, May 30.-(Corfespond-
ence of the Associated Press.)-Ihe
taxicab driver is the best-hated man
in London. All through the war he
ruled the taxi-riding public with an
iron hand and his sway, owing to
the continued shortage Of cabs,
probably will have to be endured
for many more months.
You may ride in taxicab here
orly if the driver finds tnat your
destination suits his own conven-
ience. His decision will be in
fiuerced by his quick prognostic OF
the amount of the tip your appear
anee and manner indicate. If you
look like "close UNI you will save
time by joining queue tor bus
or throwing yourself into the mael-
strom of tube crowd, for it is cer-
tain you won't ride in a taxicab.
Any man bold enough to challenge
the lofty authority of taxitab
driver wins instant popularity and
dlaw. about him throng OF ad-
nirers. So there were loud cheers
and a rush for the spot when pas
senger, the other day dove into an
empty taxicab passing throug h the
Strand and refused the drivers de-
nard that he get out. The driver
stopped his cab and refused to
bulge.

You can't refuse "a fare" said the
passenger. >,

retorted the driver.
A policeman pushed his way
through the crowd, with Whats all

He refuses to get out OF my
cab" He refuses to drive me,
was the shouted chorus OF driver
and fare.
The policeman began to make
notes. Do you wish to prosecute' {
he asked the passenger.
"Nc, | want to get to Liverpool
street." was the mild reply.
Stick to it," the spectators urged
the passenger. -,
The crowd soon blocked the
street. The driver leaned uncon-
cernedly against the mudguard OF
his cab and lighted cigaret. The
fare reclined against the cushions.
This continued for 20 minutes. The
crowd began betting on the out
comc, Odds were offered on the
driver.

rather weakly, Il think I've taught

Famous Kansas Ranch
Will Be Auctioned
OFF by James L. Dowd

The famous Robidoux ranch, con-
sisting of $1,000 acres of ranch
land and alfalfa, the last of the
mammoth ranches of the Sunhower
state, is soon to be divided into
farms and sold at auction by James

The Robidoux ranch has been
famed in song and story, as the
original Peter Robidoux settled near

early sixties, and has been adding
to his holdings for many years.
When the original settlement was
made the pioneers had as their
companions Indians, wolves and
buffaloes, but at this time that sec
ton is covered by producing farms.
Mr.. Dowd will sell the ranch on

On Being Prepared

One Of the principal factors in do
ing good work of any sort lies in
being prepared for the job you are
going to tackle. This is something
the new car owner often fails to
realize. You cannot properly wash
a car, grind the valvts, clean a spark
plug or do any of the other jobs
necessary to keeping the car in good
running order without being per-
fectly equipped for the work. By
degrees the car owner collects the
equipment to enable him to finish
each job he tackles in a workman
like and satisfactory manner.

"THE BILLBOARD
Theatrical Magazine Tells of
Or. H. A. Waggener and
Saxophone Band in
Brown Clown Act,

The Billbord," one of the leading
theatrical magazines of the United
States, in a recent issue had the fol-
lowing to say regarding DR.. H. A.
Waggener and his famous saxo-
phone band which entertains the
hosts at the Aksarben each Monday
night:
"Out in Omaha, Neb., there lives
a rabid devotee of the saxophone
in the person of DR.. H. A. Wag-
gener. Although he is dignity per
sonified and follows dignified pro-
fession he just must have one hobby
and that hobby is the saxophone.
II was the late Fra Albestus who
said that every man should have a
hobby, but be sure he rides it and
don't let it ride him. Well, they do
say Doc Is at this writing astride his
hobby, still the bets are even on
the hobby riding Doc before the
Second to None.
"Dr. H. A. Waggener is one of
those fine democratic souls who
lives for his hobby. He has gotten
together bunch of saxophone play
ers that are second to none, and
while they are all business men and
their wives are continually admon-
shing them to be careful and not
let their saxophones interfere with
their business, nevertheless their
motto is Don't let business interfere
with your saxophone.' This much
gives the reader some insight to
Doc Waggener's nature-to make
it palmer, will say he is a regular
fellow, and being a regular fellow
and regular saxophonist YOU would
naturally expect regular fellows to
flock together, and they do.
"Witness the brotherly affection
between DR.. Waggener and Tom
Brown, who you all know is regu-
lar. This saxophonic friendship
lead Waggener to 60 scouting for
the original saxophone and after he
;ound it he does the clever Damon
and Pythias act by presenting it to
Tom Brown, because he believes
Tom to be the logical man to own
t. So Tom Brown, manager of the
famous Six Brown Brothers Clown
band, which has been featured with
fred Stones Jack-o-Lantern CONF
,any, is now the owner of what is
said to be the first saxophone ever
perfected.
~ Duplicate Brown Act.
mot long ago DR.. Waggener de-
ided to put on a show for the
Knights OF the Ak-Sar-Ben, and he
wanted the Six Brown Brothers
,axophone act as a feature, so
Tommy sent him costumes and
ausic and Waggener rehearsed his
lunch OF local saxophonists until he
slmost had 'em overtrained in their
respective parts. Then Tom made
