DIDN’T GET IT RIGHT.

He Thought He was a Student ol Human Nature, but He Waao't. "On this trip in,” said the car conductor about 11:30 o’clock at night, “we’ll begin to pick up the beaus. They commence leaving their ladyloves about 11 o’clock. I've seen so many of them get on the car that I’ve got so I can tell who has said a loving good-by and who has had a scrap with her. It’s in the way they pay their fare.” The car stopped, and a young man stepped aboard. "There’s one,” continued the conductor. “I’ll get his fare and then come back and tell you how I think he got along with his lady-love.” The fare was collected, and the conductor returned to the man with whom he had been talking. “They had a fight," he said. “I’d almost bet she told him to go and never return. Oh, I’m a student of human nature, you bet you!” Just then another fellow boarded the car. He sat down by the “beau.” Why, hello, John!” the new passenger said. "How are the wife and babies?” “All well but the youngest girl,” was the reply. “I’m going down to the drug store now to get her some cough medicine.” The conductor went to the other end of the car and stayed th<*»e as much as he could.—Denver Post.
