Nothing Happen on a Street Car.
"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,

Why the Dance Interested Illni.

Smith had enjoyed himself Immensely and
was just starting for the clerk'a desk to
get a fresh toothpick when he waa accost
ed by a man of modest bearing who in
quired: "Excuse me, sir, but what waa the name
of that last dance you went through that
achottUb, I mean?"
"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.
I'm a teacher of dancing in Portland, and
I want to keep up with the tlmea.

A STATKJMPLOYE
He tells a Reporter About
Being Cured by Dr. Dennis,

Nothing succeeds like success. 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." Any person can, by
calling on Dr. Dennis, learn this gentleman s
name nnd addres, which he doe not wish
to havo printed In the pajiera. He Is an em
