"IIow old Ih that boy, ma'am t" Inquired
tho conductor of a South Sldo suburban
railway train the other morning, baiting
in tlienlsle and addressing n well preserved
and ttclf possessed matron in one of the
stats.
"I don't know that it mnkes any differ
ence to you, Hlr," she nnswercd.
"I only wanted to know"
"You don't have to feed and clothe him,
do your"
"Certainly not, madam, but"
"You ain't taking u government consul
of this enr, aro youf"
"Of course not, ma'am, but I reckon I've
got a right to ask you how old that boy la.
I'm tho"
"Yes, you've got the right to ask It and
I'vo got tho right to answer you. 'Taln't
nny of your business how old ho is."
"Why, great Scott, nm'um, I'm tho con
ductor of this"
"I don't cans If you'ro tho president of

wanting to know how old he Is?"
"It's got this much to do with it, If ho's
over live yearn old ho'll have to"
"Over five yean old? He's over nine."
"Then you'll have to pay u fare for him."
"Who asked you to carry him freef "
"Why"
"Do 1 look as if 1 was a person that
would try to bent a railroad out of sevea
cents?"
"Certainly not, ma'am, but"
"Then what have you been raising all
tills fuss about?"
"I haven't lieuu"
"I'll leave It to tho other passengers if
you haven't. You've been asking impu
dent questions and making Insinuations,
mid acting as if you thought folks were ull
thieves."
Everybody in tho car was looking nt her
by this time, but she kept right on:
J "And you've waked up the wrong pas
senger tins tune, i uaveii't anybody to
travel with me but this boy, but 1 can get

ance from any one, and don't you forget It,
Here's a ten ride ticket. Punch out n ride
for mo and one for him, and if you sec us
on your train again don't go to asking peo
ple's ages and making remarks. That's
