HER PRECIOUS BASKET.

She Treasured 1t Too Much to Let 1t &C
Out of Her Reach.
A fat woman stopped a down-bound
Cold Spring car the other night and
climbed aboard as best she could. She
was handicapped by her flesh and a
big market basket which she was car
rying. The car was crowded, and she
had great difficulty in getting into the
vestibule.

find a place for that basket over here. "
"What's that?" she asked, sharply.

set it down, only 1 don't dare let it go
out of my hands. Its contents are val

''But you must get it out of the
way"
The fat woman sputtered and
scolded and wound up by saying that
she would not put the basket down;
she would not get off the car; that she
didn't care if she did block up the
doorway and the conductor was no
gentleman, anyhow, or he wouldn't
speak to a lady about little thing
like a market basket.
Madam said the conductor after
the fat woman had quieted down, sit

trust it there. The contents of this
basket are likely to get hurt down

from Bryant street to Swan. and every
person who got off or on rubbed
against that basket. The men sw ore
and the women said "Dear me!' and
looked unutterable things. And the
fat woman hung on to her basket.
When the car stopped at Swan street

into one corner of the vestibule said:
Excuse me, madam, but if you
won't consider it impertinence, would
like to know what you have in that
basket that you are guarding so close.
