For each one-fifth of a mile the charge is ten cents. THEORETICALLY, therefore, the Yellow Taxi rate is cighly | * eants a mile. How does it work out in practice? No longer ago then yesterday a traveller took a taxicab at Sherry’s, on the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth street, tell- | ing the chauffeur to drive etraight down Fifth avenue. ‘The cab was a epick and span Yellow Taxi with a shiny new meter. It continued smoothly and without interruption down the avenue. Reckoning, as fs usual, twenty short blocks to the mile, Twenty- fourth street marked the end of the first mile. Just before reaching Twenty-fourth street the meter registered NINETY OENTS! Why? A little inquiry revealed the reason. The Jarrs Plunge Into Darkest Jersey in Search of a Hermit more for the next fifth of a mile, whether travelled or not. Therefore, that theoretical eighty cent first mile will always cost bw actual meter reading NINETY CENTS. Is it necessary to point out to what extent the Yellow Taxice) | Company is nobly saving the public from that unthinkable maximum | rate of $1 which unprincipled taxicabs charge “if their patrons will stand it?” The Yellow Taxicab RATE is EIGHTY CENTS for the first] Votes for Women!"

Mr. Jarr now recalled certain dire ru- 'mora that had percolated through Gus's to the effect that at the first Suffra- gette parade husbands were aeked to imaroh, at the second they were orlered jto, and after this they were to be MADE to participate. But, as in many other cases of torrt- ble trouble-it only tt were true—Mr. Jarr’s agitation was without causo.
