The street car is a good place tU
catch negatives. Here human ma
ture runs into one OF its channels,
and every type and characteristic is
brought iuto play in the moving,
SETTLING mass, especially on bargain
and special-sale days, when the Idle
element gets stirred up with the
promise of getting something for
nothing. And this is the class that
generally takes the dog along.
Every species OF dog, as well as the
dog-loving gender is out, and the
sympathy of the thoughtful observer
is with the shop girl.
About ten o'clock they begin to
file in from corner 10 corner, the
women having the car to them
selves, for the business men have

called upon by the law of courtesy
to stand up and relieve her sister,
and it is no ones fault if she is above
the average weight, either. The
most remarkable thing about the
new conner, which her own vOlum-
inousness had at first hidden, was the
poodle tucked under her leg -o'nut-
ton, sleeve which it would be hard
to distinguish from sugar cured
ham in size-a tiny white frowsly
poodle, whose diminutivenes
was partially due to the enor-
nifty of his protector. Poor doggie!
With every lunge of the car his life
was nearly crushed out of him,
and his numerous yelps brought no
relief. The widow hugged him
only the tighter and looked daggers
at her comfortable sisters, who
had broken into many a smile at
her expense. The good woman,
weight 200 pounds, hung on to her
strap in agony, the dog yelped and
the car plunged on, nobody to blame
for anything. At least one on
locker thought to herself of the poor
deceased, his luck at escaping, and
her sympathy went out to the poodle |
with whom he evidently had shared |
affections. With wild gesture the |
fat woman summoned the conductor |
to stop the car, and with a heavy,
stride she made for the
door, every step bringing an echo
from beneath her arm like from q
