From the Burlington Hawkeye.
There is the honest immigrant" sai(
the tall thin passenger. 81 believe he il
going to wash his face"
And really it did look as though thai
was the mans mad intention. He hai
gone to clear pool of water beside the
track, and was apparently getting ready
for his additions.
"See him peel off his raiment," said
the man on the woOd-bOx.
HE hasen't very much to peel off," the
fat passenger said.
what said the tall, thin passenger
"he hasn't got started yet"
The emigrant first unwrapped com
fOrter from his neck, and then slowly
took off gray OvercOat with short
waist and long skirts, reaching to his
heels. Then he unwOund red, wooden
comforter from his neck, and then took
off short pea jacket of heavy blue
cloth. Then he unwrapped gray COM
fOrter from his neck, and took off leath-
er jacket, very tight-fitting and very
greasy. He then unwOund long fan
mel scarf from his neck and took off a
black vest, and then he released his neck
from the folds of gray wooden cOmfOr-
ter, and then he took off red vest and
unwOund another comforter, and then
he took off another vest and flannel
scarf that was tied around his neck, and
another vest and another vest and an
other comforter and another flannel
scarf and another vest and another COM
fOrter and another vest
"That man robbed clothing house."
said the cross passenger.
The immigrant calmly unwrapped
from his neck a long wooden comforter
81 WONDER" said the fat passenger" eff
he got through the custom house that
way?"
And then he took off another vest
"Whyw exclaimed the tall, thin pass
enger she is no bigger than am"
And then he unrOlleG another cOmf0r-
ter from his neck
"By Georgew exclaimed the man on
the woOd-box, she'll get down to his
bones in two more 'peelS."
And immigrant unbuttOned another
vest
Suddenly the whistle of the train was
heard in the distance, and another of the
party of immigrants shrieked to the
wOuld-be bather: "Jarliche Jams Krund
BjOrneke BOrnekesse! Hofiickedienen
dgakrOminieke thOrilik id sOunden de
ach es da trainege ausege-
kOmmekw
And then the race began. The train
came along, waited three minutes, and
sped away, and long, long after we left
the station we could look back and see
that rash immigrant from the land of
NjOrdvaldsen, shooting himself into a
job lot of parts-cOlored vests, and haul
ing upon himself an avalanche of COM
fOrters. in the vain hope of showing him
self under in time to catch the next
train.
81 have often wondered" the Jester
said, musing, "why the immigrants new
er battle from the time they leave Castle
Garden until they get to their homestead
i'm the far west. | understand it now.
That man. in his landable desire to wash
up, will lose a whole week before he can
dress himself. And even then he hadn't
got undressed far enough down to wash
his neck"
"WauseOnp shouted the brakeman.
'Was he on" required the fat pass
enger.
Was he on what?He wasn't on the train
by 20 miles, but he was on to whole
Chatham street bankrupt stock of vests
and cOmfOrters. What was he on any
hOw?"
