fr' Behalf of the Street Car Comluc
tors
How sorrowfully I recall tho pic-
tro of a conductor pointing tragical-
ly to tho gray hairs around his cars
and trying to convince some incorrig-
ible boya nnd girls ki a few tearful
words that tkoy were making a ner
vous wrcek but of him. But how could
boys and girls without uny'senso of
propriety" know that they wore dally
cheating tho Street Railway Company
out of a noble oittpjoyeq? Why tho
pcor children thought tho great In
stitution Simmons College owned thla
luxurious lino of crirs and thill thoir
barJfaro for rldos on this Scenic
Railway; had all been paid with tholr
tultloH. Thoy novcrhad been told riot
to' ring thoso bolls. Was not that
what thoso buttons word for? "Char-
ley" was always pulling' on -those
STRINGS in tho top of tbo. car why
couldn't thoy? A conductor should
not fuss when kldB swing on theso
straps; that Is what they are for and
anyway they are uBt splendid to do
"gym" stunts on while drifting to-
wards tho Metropolis. HaB riot a
young hopeful the right to start tho
car if eho has tho courage and brain?
It Is qultei an accomplishment to bo
ablo to. run a car without lossons.
Who could it hurt for throo or four
young onos to chaso each other around
over 'and under tho car while it wasn't
at tho switch.? .They aro exorcising
their .college "pop" that has got' Jarred
up before' they reached tho switch."
To savo the good dispositions of our
motormon " and conductors bore's a
Buggoailon; Mako tho girl's fathers
rldo to and from school with them
and appoint conductors deputy sheriffs
to arrest tho BOYS. ?! n.s
