Rju Nye Gets Sat Upon.

I aimed my panic-price cane at the
driver of a cream-colored car with a blue
stomach. and remarked, "I1i, therel" l
went inside, clear to the further end, and
sat down by the side OF a young woman
who filed the whole car with sunshine.
| was so happy that gave the conductor
half dollar and told him to keep the
change. If by chance she sees this l
hope she will remember me. Pretty soon
\ fat woman came into the car and aimed
for our quarter She evidently intended
to squat between this fair girl and myself
But all, thought to myself in low tone
of voice, will fool thee. So / showed my
person along in the seat toward the sweet
girl of the Bay State The corpulent
party, whose name l did not learn, had
in the meantime backed up to where. she
had detected slight vacancy, and where
| had seen fit to place myself. AT that
moment she heaved sigh Of relief, and
assisted by the motion Of the car, which
lust then turned corner, she sat down
in my lap and nestled in my bosom like
tired baby elephant.
Dear reader, II l were to tell you that
the crystal of my watch was picked out
from under my shoulder blades the next
day, you would not believe it, would
you?
will not strain your faith in me by
making that statement, but that was the
heaviest woman l ever held.-Bostot
