eAers BOUNCING RIDE.
Curious Adventure OF n Little Child in a
Furniture Van.

van.
The other afternoon. Just as the sun
was sinking beneath the housetops. a
tired, worn-loolzing little woman. car
rying baby of about eighteen months
in her arms, crossed over from the west
to the east side. and started up town.
Just as she reached the corner of
Prince street, she met lady and gen.
tleman, with whom she was evidently
acquainted, and the trio stopped and
began a conversation.
The baby was not only plump and
heavy for its age, but il was also ex-
tremely nervous and fidgeted in the lit
tie mothers arms. like young angle
worm. Just TO the right of the party
and headed eastward on Prince street,
stood large empty furniture van with
the rear gate down. Upon the tail
board of this van the mother of the
wiggling youngster leaned, first on one
elbow and then on the other, shifting
the animated baby in her arms at each
change. Finally the conversation grew
more interesting. the baby more rest
less and the mother more fatigued,
until at last she placed the baby in the
van. This seemed TO tickle the young
ster immensely. for he at once settled
down into a state as near that of
quietude as it was possible for his live
~ disposition to allow him To assume.
So quiet did he become. in fact, that
the mother seemed to forget his pres
sence, and became still more deeply
enProssed in the animated conversa-
ton she was holding with her lady
friend.
Suddenly the sleepy driver of the van
awoke to realization of the fact that
he might as well be moving on, and,
gathering up his reins, he popped his
whip, and, before the young mother re-
allied the situation, away went the
van, laundering along out Prince
street, with her dear little darling
bouncing about in it like an over
dressed rubber doll Dropping the con-
versation. she cried out:
''0h, my baby and dashed away in
the wake of the furniture van, fol-
lowed by her two friends, policeman,
