"Yon must see a great deal of human nature In your posltlou," said the young tan with tke notebook as he boarded a Broadway car. '.'Well, I dunno," doubtfully replied the conductor. "All aorta of people rldo with you, of courser" "Perhaps they do." "Men and women of nlmoat every nation ality ride up and down hero." "Please, move along up!" called the conductor aa he put his head Into the 4oor. "I suppose even rich men often try to beat you out of the faror" continued the young mau. "Mebbe so, but I never knew of a case," was the reply. "Don't you observe a very selfish dispo sition on the part of a large per cent?" "No." "Doesn't a mean man act meaner on a car thin anywhere elsef" "Perhaps, but I uever noticed it." "Haven't you noticed that women have ao regard for each other?" "No, sir" "I presume you get a raking over now and then because you don't atop quick enough or because you carry aome one paathla street?" ,"No, air; I never do." "Aren't there any peculiar people who ride on your car?" "Never aaw any, air." "Well, I am surprised I" said the yonng man with the notebook. "Where do the reporters get all these odd and funny little incidents which are supposed to happen on the street cars?" "Out of their heads, sir," replied the conductor, aa he helped a fat woman up the steps. "And nothing ever happens on a street car?" "Nothing, sir not on my car. I runs from the liattery to Fifty-ninth street and back, and I collects fares and looks after the passengers. That's all, air. Faro, please." New York Evening World. Why the Dance Interested Illni.

"Oh," replied Smith, "that? That waa a gavot.'! "A gavot? Something new?" "Oh, not very new." "Would you just aa lief step into the waiting room and show me bow you do It?" Smith, who Is a good natured man, com plied, and quickly unraveled the snarls of the gavot, while tho other "caught on" as rapidly aa possible. When the lesson was flulsbed the stran ger tbauked Smith, saying; "I am, very much obliged to you, sir.

This adage Is more than exemplified by the experience of Dr. Dennis lu this city, Hla success In curing many bad cases of catarrh who had d&palred of relief has II I led hU ofllw with patients from morning to night. The fol lowing Is only one of tlio ninny statements which could be made public If space did not forbid. A PLAIN STATEMENT, Ten years ago I was attacked by that dread disease, Catarrh. It began after I had had a ixid cold as a stopping up ot the nostrils so I could not breathe except through my mouth. It grew worse from year to year. I would hawk and plt almost con deaf; my appetite was poor; bowels costive; leu weak and unnnie u engage in any puyt-i-cat exertion; my ears begun tlually discharg ing a bad smelling substance and my nostrti-i pained me to breathe through them ;'I becuuif alarmed. I had tried every hiug and aid out a great deal to physiclauo. I llually went to the mountains near Denver. About September 1, 1801, I pl.iced my caso In Dr. Dennis' hands for treatment, and today, November 1, 1 consider myself entirely well. The cure has been a surprise, but u most happy ouo. I will tako great pleasure lu answering any iuquiilea ubout Dr. Dennis and his treatment."
