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

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,

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

have. Some of the boys brace up oc

It is niwavs b Iter to I ave tae crib rai ed
two to throe feet from the grounl, to keep
tiie ra's aw ay. A Ion; time is required for
corn to dry out tiiurou -hly, so tbai vsati-a-
tion is require!

crib. All will probably know about how
much corn they want the crib to hold.
E glit ieet wide and twelve feet hi;ht is a
goal size for a bin. Now take the number
oi buibels of shell «1 cum you want oua bin
to h >ld. llu.tiply together thi width and
height, and multiply that b,’ four. Then
divile the number of bus uls required by
this pioduct. The quo'ieuc will be the
len ;th of the b u.
On the other hand, if you wish to measure
tho contents cf a crib or bin of corn, here
is the rue: Multiply the length, breadth
an 1 height toge her, multiply this proJuct
; by four, cut off the rig it hand figure, the

In Fig. 2 the cutsi !e is closely bearded
up. AU cribs should have the roof well ,
overt an gin r, to shed rain. This crib is
weatherproof on th? outside; the grain h
ventilate I from the iiisile. The fl?or of
the bn< i< made of three-inch slats, set
an inch and a half apart. Tae sides are
built up within in the same wav. In the
er, between the bin, is a space twelve
leeL wide. 1 has doors at each end, so that
a wagon miy drive th oug i. Tne doors
may be opened in flae weatner for ventila
tion.
The shed is a «rood rhe iter bousi for
wagons and other implements. That the
space above may not be lest, the shed is
boarded across overhead, forming a loft
Thus corn may be pactel to the roof. The
corn is put in through a i rap door over
head. It. is put .u o the bins through doors
which shoul i b? sliding doors.
As th?
bin-» fill, ioose boardi are to ba placed
across the d .or spi.c33 to ho d the c^rn
