But in the pu eye, ths person and his bargain in transportation are of least import The question of fares and what kind of service is given for takes on living interest when it he great have to ride to and from their daily toil. tiainly, it is marvellous how the attKels pile into dollars and the dollars into millions for a great carrying com pany. Let us remember, moreover, that the little coins are counting two ys. They 5 gain for the company; they make in a year’s total a burden not d ted at all evenly for the people who must fay them. Fear of this burden keeps a good many families with several | toiling members from moving out of overcrowded quarters into the further streets where there more room, more sunshine and purer air. The five-cent fare, meaning a long ride to the very few, means to the very many a high tax or condemnation to the poorer liv’ ig. The Interborough’s own figures show in the five-cent fare a profit of 140 per cent. on the cost of operation. With three-cent fares, dis- Tegarding the enormous increase of business that would be certain, this Profit would still be 40 per cent. For his nickel, then, besides get the sensations of a phi nt fa lies tot mass of workers who saath (aa ee ] i Hy 10 ra Hf ate a possible long ride, the passenger may lanthropist. He is helping the poor old Interborough to multiply three and a half times an ample margin. The picture just above barely suggests other things that passengers buy for their five-cent fares, It will be appreciated in particular, just now, by the “rush hour” patrons of the Third avenue elevated road’s creeping trains. POLICY NO ‘POOR MAN’S GAMBLE.’ Somebody writes to ask, in view of Monday’s editorial on the policy swindle, if we want to “spoil the poor man’s gamble.” There are foolish who are he peless in their folly, One fact plainer than many facts is that in policy as it goes there is no gamble. All things, including the expert slipwriters, work together to make a sure thing for the promoters of the game. Even the popular “gigs” help to this end. Siipwriters have merely to avoid letting them come out. r The famous ‘!4-11-44" need never appear save by permission. It is allowed to show from time to time for advertising purposes, There is but one thing which followers of the policy game can do for their own and the put Let it alone— good: hich is to let it die, Nerve and Handsome Men By Nixola Greeley-S mith.

An ugly man pount of self confidence stands ab DO not think it make him a winn with the same equal chance, In fact, the most famous Indy-killers of history have lain men, The Marq de Mirabean, known in his own time quite as much for his wonderful suc- cess with Komen as for the part he played in bringing the French Revolution about, was small and dark and horribly pock-marked. “Jack” Wilkes, the English political agitator, equally noted for his homeliness, boasted that in fifteen minutes he could cut out tha handsomest inan in London. And no one who knew his power over wonien questioned the truth of the vainglcrions statement In our own times we have as examples of successful usiness Johann Moch, Carlton, the Brooklyn bigamist, and the notorious Dr. Witzhoff. None of these winners of women could by any stretching of artistic canons be included within the pale of good-looking men, What women admire in nen and what they sucenimb to is nerve. Good-looking men learn early in the game that they can afford to be “nervy.” That alone ts the secret of their nower, Many men do not seem to realize that winning a woman Is an art, if not an exact science. It may not be very relevant to remark just hers that I discovered a man with a ncw method the other day. But for the benefit of his less accomplished brothers I am going to describe tt. Jt was upon the renewal of an acquaintance with a girl with whom a previous sentimental passage had ended in a draw, neither principal hav- ing any feeling for the other, except a profound respect for the finesse displayed. “In all my life,” said the man, “I have met just two women absolutely devoid of feeling. You are one of them." This remark is always calculated to make the lady endeavor to prove that she has feeling. “You are the only women I know that does not attract me in the ‘he continued. And so on through a series of carefully graded in- sults that wound up in a request for “Just a platonic kiss.’ Now this was simply following up the {dea that if you make a woman doubt her power to please, und then gradually reassure her, she will be far more grateful to you than if you had fed her hot air all along. Handsome men are generally too self-centred to give sufficient thought to the art of winn a woman, and that Is why they are so often distanced by homely ones The Evening World reader must seek in something else than his lack of pulchritude the explanation of his bachelorhocd. Let him cultivate his nerve and his looks will take care of themselves, # Letters from the People, Weight of a Foot of Gold. ffo the Editor of The Evening World: least, | music without studying music, readers: | T would like to learn to dance, but l A correspondent asks che weight of a not keep time with the music, What cuble foo: of gold, The weight of a | musical reader can advise me? cuble foot of gold would be 682% pound: Boston, Mase.
