Ile boarded the car at Thirtyninth street, put his valise on the seat beside him, and when the conductor stopped ,to take his f are he pulled out a roll of bilis. The conductor extracted a nickel from a one dollar bill and handed over the change. The man, with the valisa extraoted a silver quarter dollar from the change and hianded it back to the conductor. "Here," he said, eo loudly that everyone in the car looked to see what was going on, "here's a quarter for youreelf." "I've taken out a nickel," said the conductor. "I don't want any more." "Now, don't say another word, friend," replied the passenger. "My wife told me before I left Kansas City I'd get a good deal bet Ler in Chicago if I tipped everybody, and I'm going to start with you. You take that quarter like a little man and do the best you can by me on this trip and don't say anytbing more or 111 make it i half."
