DUSKY JEHU DEFIES AUTO ERA;

With Picturesque Rig,
He Says.
Old-Fashioned Folk and
Newly-Weds His Best
Customers.

Eighteen years ago John G. Glenn
ont, dusky cab driver in Washing
tons hotel section, pushed his stove
pipe" hat back on his head with the
butt of his whip after the passage
of a Snorting gasoline buggy" the
first he had ever seen, and remarked
to the customer in his shiny victoria:
They say them things is gwine to
clutter up the streets some day.
Well, sub, let 'em clutter. but Use
gwine stick right yah in dis seat"
John spoke prophetically. Them
things" did clutter up the streets,
but John Clemont, and a few of his
fellows. stuck to their victortas. The
gasoline buggies" multiplied and
evolved into the motor cab Of today.
the cries of get a horse" soon be-
came lost in the bedlam Of below
ing horns and screeching brakes, and
John and his victoria found them
selves pushed and crowded along in a
maelstrom of rushing traffic
But John was as good as his word.
He stuck to his seat, and today or
any day may be seen, as of old,
sitting in his old fashioned victoria
in the haven of refuge set aside for
him and his mates on the south side
of Macpherson Square. Except, of
course, when he has "a job"
Gould Do Worser."
Whiles the victoria business natu-
rally is not what it used to be, when
John first gave up the waiter busi-
ness in favor of the more lucrative
outside work, it isn't so bad as many
uninformed persons might think.
I'VE do right tol'able," John re-
marked on being aroused from mid
day nap on the seat of his venerable
rig in the shade of an old tree that
hong had been a silent friend. Vas
sub, right tol'able, considerip'. They's
about a dozen of US left, and each of
us avridges round two or three trips
a day. Two dollahs an hour is what
we get. They amt much upkeep to
this rig and my old nag don't eat
much. I made foah dollahs already
today, which amt nuthin' to complain
of. Leastwise. 1 cd do worser."
John says that most of his custom
ers are either elderly or youthful. The
older ones don't like automobiles. he
explained, "cuZ they go too fast and
jolt EN-" John doesn't care for mo-
tor cars, either, he said. II took
trip in one las year to Manassah and
we went so fas' l couldn't tell which

"jes like the change or wanta have
some fun" Lots of newly-weds, on
their honeymoon here, use his vic
toria, he added.

"Yassuh," John cohf1ded, 'they's

the death of Willie Pyror. Not Pryor,
mind you, but Pyror. as Willie often
had to insist to license clerks and
other bothersome individuals. Willie
was a familiar figure at the southeast
corner of Fourteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue for nobody remem-
bers how many years, sitting erect in
his shiny carriage from early morn
ing until late at night.
Had Many Stanch Friends.
Few persons knew that Willie was
so crippled in both legs that he could
not walk. Some who did, and who ad-
mired the optimism and enjoyed lis
tening to the philosophy. of this VEN
cradle darky, never failed TO remem-
ber him at Christmas time. Willie
always had a pocketful of envelops,
containing money, on Christmas day.
Willie was missing from his corner
some months back, and inquiries by
his friends finally disclosed that he
had died, unnoticed. His badge, No.

1nourned his passing, just as survivors

You Never Can Tell What Is

(From Fairbanks NewsMiner)
 News from the Outside, received last evening, states that George Lemon has been building in California today a dredge with 6-foot buckets (about twice as large as are the buckets on the dredges in this coun- try) and that he will be here next Tuesday night, accompanied by the Whitworth brothers, of importance and financial standing in Great Brit ain, they to go through, over, under and by on Ester Dome, to see if they can make the hard rock stand up as Lemons has made Fish Creek stand up in London.
 There seems to be no limit to which a hardworking tryer cannot go, if he keeps on trying. Here comes MT. Lemons, trying to put money in circulation in this camp, where no money might be unless he and his conferees put it into circulation, and he comes, as he came before, with the feeling that the entire camp is out to knock anything he tries to do for it. Still, he persists in trying. The News-Miner does not even know where Fish Creek is, or what it con- sists of, either fish or creek But we do know that anybody who desires to put any money into circulation in this camp should be encouraged.
