A Shrewd Conductor. ,
After fumbling through all of bin
pockets the other day, a passenger
ou a Dullas streetcar exclaimed to
the conductor:
'•I declare, wheu I chauged clothes
this morning I left all my money iu
the other suit."
"That's all right," said the conduc-
tor. "You ride with me many times
u day. Just haud me an extra fare
the next time jou get ou."
Pretty soou the passenger pulled
out a jack-kuifo aud began to sharpen
u pencil. The conductor eyed him u
moment and then said:
"Lcok here, my friend, it's blamed
strange that you forgot your money
but took your knife wheu you made
that change in wearing apparel.
The owner of the knife flushed anu
got off the car.
A uegro was ou the witness stauci
in the County Court.
"You say," said counsel for tii*
prosecution, that the defendant's
name is John Smith?"
"No, sab," was the reply. "Dat ui
am a consumed name."
Even the Judge smiled.
A fat Guinea neero was shoveling
cement in the paviug gang at work
ou Elm street. Be was as black as u
dungeou aud as graceful as au ele-
phant. As he paused to spit on his
hands he caught sight of two no-
presses on the sidewalk aud Honored
.them with a long aud searching look.
"Aiu't dat a handsome man." said
one. §
"He sure is," replied the other.
Then both, smiled at him.
"Go'way frum heah, Sam, you'se
toomuch of a masher," said a com-
panion, and the Guinea negro went
back to work.—Dallas News.

kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poiscned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidney^

$10,000 as punitive or exem-
