A Cure For Hiccough.

+ "Hiccough!" The sound came from
o very fat man In big fur.lined over.
coat, and IL issued from the folds Of his
fat throat with such force that nearly
everyone in the elevated train looked
around. The fat man calmly gazed out
OF the window and complacently picked
his teeth. .... 900.
"Hiccoughr" Again 1t rang through
the car, and again the fat man became
the focus Of all eyes. This time little
boy across the way snickered out loud,
and q little girl on the opposite seat
put her hands before her mouth and
'tee-hee'd" with such enjoyment that
the fat mans face grew red with en-
barrassment.
"Hiccough! Hiccough!" Two came
In succession here, and the big coat
fairly shook. Nearly all the passen-
gers were smiling now, except one
stern-faced old lady, who gave him q
crushing look over her gold-rimmed
spectacles.
Unnoticed by oil, enevolent-look-
ing little man sat few seats behind
the unfortunate fat man. Anyone
could see that he was Just the sort Of q
man who would 20 several blocks out
OF his way to accommodate stranger,
or, II asked q question about q street,
would glibly roll of the topography OF
half of New York; or, that he knew all
signs and cures and remedies for all
common ailments. It was easy to see.
too, that he was thinking Of the ways
In which hiccough could be cured, and
few minutes later all were conscious
that the method he had selected was to
scare 1t out of the victim. Thefat man
was still hiccoughing as the little man,
with q smile on his face, stealthily
crept up behind him, and, Just as he
saw the fat mans throat trembling for
another explosion, he brought both
hands down on his shoulders and
shouted: ...
"Shooi" s..
At that instant the car checked up
suddenly and the little man fell for
ward until he looked as II he were
swimming In the big mans hat. Up
sprang the big man with roar.
"Oh, l didn't mean that, really, ("
exclaimed the little philanthropist, but,
catching sight Of the distorted features
Of his victim, he turned and fed TO the
door, which the brakeman was Just op-
ening. But the fat man was nimble,
and he caught his benefactor with q
big, square-toed boot. "Eighty-sixp'
shouted the brakeman, with lowered
head, but his cry was cut short as the
little man straddled his back and fell In
heap on the other side, where he
picked himself up and fed through the
car. The fat man took his seat. The
hiccough was cured, but, seated in the
last seat Of the hindmost car. the little
philanthropist did not wear that look
Of triumph and satisfaction which Is
presumed to follow the success of q
cherished aim. 4Net0 York Times.
