I know of no other representative in the P. R. L. 82 P. Companyls service who is so uniformly affable, accom- modating, and cheerful. When I ride to school occasionally, and en- counter this remarkable man on the rear platform, the otherwise irksome journey is made delightful and pleasant. His running Fire of conversation is about like this :-HNow be careful in alighting. Here's your package. All right! Next is Huntington, McLaughlin and Rhone. Wait till the car stops, please. Now, be careful. As I was saying, the political situation is dubious. The forces of evil are so strategically camouHaged that they will be hard to defeat. When I was at one time holding political ofhceeYes, mam, Iill remember. You've still about a mile to go. No, mam, we never, under any circumstances carry passengers beyond their destinations? So he rambles on, never truculent, curt or harcluboiled. I have heard it said of him by fellow-workers going off shift, that he inquired sorne five times of a lady, if she had succeeded in recovering a lost umbrella, always forgetting, in his thought- fulness, his previous inquiry. I suppose that under ordinary circumstances, a conductor who talks politics with passengers, would be called on the carpet. In this special case, I suppose, the tremendous influence for equanirnity and good-will toward even the exasperating street-car system, is recognized as a rare gift in a street-car conductor. So he is permitted to regale his passengers with his interesting sentiments. C. S. HERE is a conductor on the Sellwood line who is a model for courtesy i. T Q HOUSE A House A$the house which boasts of two heraldseis a mixture of all kinds of trumpetry. Between whiffs from boiling Clothes which soar upward through an ever-open basement doorway, one is conscious of other floating phenomena,.1n- eluding aeroplanes of long standing Hits and soloistic choruses upon the snbject Hleft toe turned to the right and ears wiggle? From the cap and gown aspirants on the first Hoor, where door pads carry on flirtations with the dagger ancl iperwinkle-tooter. The gray and white room has become the scene of many 0f Reed's decisive conferences. It was there that the eminent jean, Herrnome, and Violet, decided to give Honly seconds and fourths on potatoes-ano th1rtls and Was there also that Lucy gambled her last cent onywhether or not the house mother could successfully ramsaek Miss Harringtons room for the menii of meICms. The japanese question has been finally settled through the effort of. theI COnrlmittee appointed by President Eliot, whose highest hopes have been attainec by Tamaki, Mrs. Robertson, and M. Atkin. 85

?Daybobgers Homer 1, the Wise, King of the Daydodgers, and iiHandsomest Mani, of the realm, is a true democrat and philosopher. His subjects Hock to hear his simple precepts and his refining influence on the prime minister is noted by all. His handsomely parted hair and the picturesque droop to his shoulders win him the plaudits 0f the proletariat. His is the uniqueidistinction of being the iiuncrowned King tthe coronation ceremonies were not carried forward, due to the difficulty of procuring jewels for the crowni. Howard Demosthenes Smyth of the forty faces is a man of different calibre. As prime minister, he bears up nobly under the burden of official duties which consist mainly in talking whenever there is a chance, but it is in his role of court fool that his real abilities are brought to light. His quiet, unassuming dignity wins him the admiration and respect of all. Henrietta, Marie, Edith, and Marjorie are maids of honor and amuse the king in his idle hours. These with a host of other retainers form the court which meets daily in the cafeteria where Smyth features as toastmaster. Ebat Warmbouse Crew 5323.11 Jr 31PM: WI! bu EEHh 11 fit is 33.1.! In K3 .
