John Henry on the Street Car

*rsi> time I hop into one of those roomy, comfortable street cars city of the second, third or fourth class I immediately contrast It with the wood boxes we use In New York, and I find myself growing red m the face and biting my nails. Those Squeezer cars that prowl tbe streets of New York are surely the breathless limit aren't they? Ths squeezer car la the best genteel imitation of a rough-house that has

ctut been invented.

They are called Squeezers because the conductor has to let the passen-

gr.'j out with a can opener.

Hrare and strong men dlmh into * street car. and they are full of health and life and rigor, but a few Mock* of the road they fall out backward and

To get In some of the street cars about six o'clock la a problem, and to get out again Is an assaasinatlon One evening recently I rode from Tbrty-second street to Fifty-ninth street without once touching the Door with my feet. Some of the New York street cars lead a double life, because they are ssed all winter to act ths part of re-

open ?"

And then myself repllad to myself with a sigh of exhaustion. "1 dent

think!"

"John." I said to myself, “no matter what your motives may be the other fellow will always believe you are trying to get the best of It. If you move over and give the end seat to another gentleman, he will consider It only as his light. If you don't move over he will think you are a Hog for keeping that -vhlch la aa much yours as It is his." I began to grow confidential with

myself.

"Civilization Is a fine Idea, but Hu man Nature can give It cards and apades and then beat It out!" I told myself. "The Human Hog was invented long before the

have the conductor come around every ten minutes for his fare I've been up and down and over and across In the surface cars and my experience Is ornamented by ripped lrouter* and discolored shins, but my Intellect blows out a fuse every time I try to dope out the real way not to be an End Seat Hog. Last Monday I Jumped at aa early bird open-face car and it seemed that all the world was died with Joy and

good wishes

I was smoking one of those Bad Boy cigars. I call it a Bad Boy j cigar because as soon as It goes out It i gets awful noisy. The car was empty with the exception of a couple of benches. Two blocks farther on ths car stopped and a stout lady looked over

the situation.

1 think she must have been color blind, because she didn't see tbe empty seals and decided to cast her

lot with me.

It was a terrific moment. “John." I said to myself, "don't be a Hog—move over!" And virtue triumphed. I moved over, and the stout lady settled squash fully Into the end seat. Her displacement was about fifteen cents' worth of bench. After we bad gone about ten blocks mors e-en seat In the car In front and behind us was c'owded. but nobody could get In our section because the fat lady held them at bay like Horatlus held the bridge In the brave

days of old.

I'eopls would rush up to the car when It stop pod. balance carelessly fore and aft until their eyes rested on the vacant seats in our direction, and then they would see the atout lad) sitting

there, aa gracefully as

Sphinx.

Tbe people would look cl the stout lady with no hope In their eyes, and then, with a sigh, they would retire

and wait for the next car. No (X>* was brave enough

nay not be Hogs, but there Is

the life of every man

when he gets near enough to It to be

called a Ham Sandwich."

After a while 1 began to get a tooth-

ache in my conscience. John." I said to mraeif ti

whisper, "perhaps after all you were

over me and i had a short but exciting visit to the slums. Since that eventful day I have moved over thirty-six times, and out of the thirty-six people I gave the end scat to all but three of them belonged tr. the Mucilage family, and stayed

them.

Therefore I made mystlf a severe promise not to worry any i^ore about my Hog qualifications when movable or Immovable or an openface car. I will do as my conscience dictates, and walk downtown as much as pos-

sible.
