SECRETED HEAT IN 4 BOBTAIL CAR
THE UNRoMANTIC EXPERIENCE OF TWO Sc
RIoUs sPINsTERs, WHO FOUND THAT THEY
WERE SITTING on THE CAR STOVE.

WERE SITTING on THE CAR STOVE.
No one Is inclined TO quarrel with g the deadly
carstovcn this weather, so long as 1t Is kept In
horse car but there Is kind Of stove which has
given some alarm to many aid and sober passenger
This is the kind that kept out Of sight under the
seat and it is great favorite with the officers Of some
Of the lines that run "bobtal' cars because 1t does
not take up the room OF two passengers The
difficulty with IT is that It does not hold much fuei'
and as IT has to be opened from the outside Of the car
the fire can be repcnlshed only at the end OF the trip
As a result, the fremen frequently mako up such
roaring fire that tho unsuspecting passenger who
incautiOusy takes his seat directly above the stove
comes after time to the sudden conclusion that he
has young furnace at work underneath him.
A Tribune reporter recently witnessed an adventure
Of this kind In which two mddle-aged and portiy
matrons figured, which was much less edifying TO
themselves than the rest of the passengers Both
ladies' were weldrcssed and intelligent, but they
evidently were not familiar with that sort Of stove,
for they commented with satsfac ton the agreeable
warmth of the car, which they would not have ex-
pected in a without stove.
The only unoccupied seats were right over the
stove. and the ladies had not been there long before
they were COMPELLED to loosen their wraps. surprise
other had TO unbutton her cloak, but the climax was
reached when the older started to arrange her
skirts so that the heat should be less oppressive AS

silk gown she cried out: I'm on fire" ana with
shriek sprang the door, Tho other pas sengers had
watched the evolution of the iitue comedy with Intense
