NOT A REAL FAIRY STORY. “Once upon a time,” sald little Har ry’'s grandmother, who had been pre valled upon to tell & fairy story, “there was a poor old woman who had to take quite a long journey In a street car. The motorman was careful, when be saw her waiting, to stop his car exactly at the crossing, so that she nould get aboard without stepping in the mud, which was very deep in the street, and the conductor reached down kindly and carefully belped her up the steps. The platform was crowd ed with men, who considerately press ed aside so that the poor old woman could get into the car without a great deal of trouble. Many people stood in the aisle of the car, but all of them moved forward voluntarily when the poor old woman tried to get In, thus making It unnecessary for ber to stum ble over the feet of any of them In arder to get past the door. The only man who had a seat was a cripple, who was wedged In between two large, richly dressed ladies, and who could not have surrendered his place to the poor old woman even if he had wanted to do so. But It was not necessary for him to exhibit any gallantry. A very beautiful and stylish looking young lady stood up Immediately and offered her seat to the poor old wom- an, who accepted it thankfully. Bul the beautiful young lady sald: “IT do not deserve any thanks. | have done only what it was my duty to do.” “Gee, grandma, that's no story.” “What would you call it, then?” “The worst lle 1 ever heard.

He {s a great fisherman, and is as well known for that as he is for his skill as a workman. The other day he had procured a large number of very fine fish bait, ostensibly for the pur- pose of indulging in his favorite sport. He was on a west bound street car, and just as the car passed Park avenue, he decided that he wanted to get off. He did so, without wait- ing for it to stop. He had the pail of fish In one hand, and when he hit the street he slipped on the icy pave ment Disinterested spectators say that he rolled over at least a dozen times.

Did he indulge in profanity? O mo. He simply got busy and proceeded to gather up those stranded fish, and placing them in the pail, he made a wild sprint to find a supply of water in which to immerse them. This ac complished, he proceeded on his jour- ney, remarking that the fishing was very good. JUBILEE SINGERS GAVE EXCELLENT CONCEUT.
