The Railway Hog.

A prominent treasury official, well
known for his courtly manners and
keen appreciation of what's what, went
on a railroad excursion recently. IT
doesn't matter whether Bay Ridge or At
lantic City was his objective point, but
the railroad hog was out in force. The
cars were crowded. There was but a
single vacant seat, and the hog was
spread all over it.
sis this seat engaged ?' asked the Of
fetal. The hog grunted out some unin-
telligible response, but intimated that
it wasn't by moving two inches nearer
the window and looking sour enough to
curdle milk. The official wedged into
the narrow space and waited. The hog
was in possession of two thirds of the
seat, and showed no signs of reducing
the pressure. Presently big, fat, 200
pound colored woman pulled up the
aisle. The official rose.
Madam" said he, lifting his hat with
Chesterfieldian grace, take my seat.'
He waved her into it. She pumped
her 200 pounds of anatomy with sud
denness and vigor that filed the vacant
space and overhowed into the lap of the
hog. The car was tittering. The hog
squealed and told her to get out of his
lap.
''Shut up, white trash % exclaimed
the Indignant sister, "I'se got jes' good
right yer as you has. Dom wanto wear
nothin' from YOU"
The car roared as the hog struggled
out of his seat and started for the smok-
err.
