Mean Women Who Pay Their Fares tn Battered Pennies and Are Insulting —How “English George" Was Captured. •!l guess 1 won’t give you that nicxel.” said the conductor, as he turned it over in his hand dubiotr’y. “I’ve just had a row with a chap who who wouldn’t take it” The coin was not really bad-looking, and would doubtless have passed mus ter almost anywhere but on a street-car. “I hate to see a man make a fuss about a little thing like a lead nickel,” he continued, “but some folks are mighty small about such trifles.” “Yes?” remarked the reporter in quiringly, seeing that the conductor was inclined to be loquacious. “Now, there's a heap of trouble all along of some women. If you ever read the papers—but mebbe you don’t?” and he gave the rope a vicious jerk as a fat woman swung off back wards. The voungman admitted that he did. “Well, then you’ve seen how it is. It’s been written up lots of times. Just like that woman dropped, for example, facing the wrong way. And now two to one she’ll start around back of the car without looking to see if there is a grip coming from the opposite direc tion. There! What did I tell you? Seems as if they try to be awkward, some of ’em—and that’s useless. But when women want to act mean they are all there, every time. I believe they’d rather keep a conductor in hot water then ride home in ! carriage. Now, there’s 'Ansome Hennery ----- . What? O, the boys call him that be cause he looks like Irving, the actor. You see, he runs on State Street, and that’s a little the meanest run in the business. He was coming down one day witli two crowded cars, besides an Archer road on behind, and was nearly four minutes late. About Sixteenth Street in got two women disguised a« ladies, who sat right down by the door. Hennery stepped in the doorway and called out as politely as you ever heard: “Fares, please!” and one of ’em rum maged through her pocketbook. One at a time, after carefully pokin' over the contents, she fished out ten of the most disreputable-lookin’ pennies that were ever dropped in a beggar’s cup. Then one f the. women was a little bit thoughtful and says: “ ‘O, I wouldn’t give him those. Sarah; conductors don’t like to take pennies. Here, I have a dime,’ and started to hand it to him. The one with tho coppers grabbed her quick as flash and says in the most spiteful way: “•They're plenty good enough for him—they're too good for him,’ and her nose turned up in the most con temptful way. Hennery got a little bit hot under the collar about that time, but he didn’t say nothing, and didn't even stop to look at the antique collec tion. He quietly rung up two fares, □ nd, cool as an old griddle-cake, flung the whole lot out into the street. My! wasn't that a mad woman! She dasn't say much, but I tell you she ’ooked a heap. The next day 'Ansome Hennery gets a summons from the down-town office. The old freak had reported him for insolence. “What was the result?” “O, he went down and saw the chief and told his story, but he had to knuckle down, just the same. He was obliged to go to that woman's home and apologize. It was mighty tough, but it was either that or off went his head.” “The company doesn't countenance anything of that kind, then?” “Not for a minute. These low-down snobs that make a conductor's position no sinnyenre are the worst trials we have. Some of the boys brace up oc casionally and try to get back at ’em. like Hennery did, but it does no good in the end.
