PsoririY the most aggravating passenger the street car drivers have to ceal with is the able-bodied man who pulls the bell and then proceeds to alight 'oefore the car stops. Of course the driver obeys the signal and then locks roatii for his pajsenzer to alii;hi.

" This is a startling judg- ment of high authority on a subject of strictly vital interest, and we have no reason to iiuestiou its truth.
