EXPECTORATING CAREER OF A RUR-
AL STRANGER CUT SHORT.
When Threatened With Arrest He
Begged So Hard That He Swnl-
lowed n Piece of Tobacco
He Respects Law.

An amusing incident occurred on an east
bound Twelfth street car last night about
o'clock, when an cid man from n rural
section was brought suddenly to an under
starding that the grating on the car floor
was not for the purpose of holding pools
of expectorated tobacco juice. The car
was filled with passengers, mostly stock
men returning uptown from the stock
yards. The car was nearing Main street
when the conductor noticed one of the
passengers. who had a Populistic growth
of beard, drew out big piece of plug to-
bacco and take an exceedingly liberal
''chaw." He seemed to be enjoying the
tobacco, his boisterous conversation with
another stockman and everything in gen.
era. To judge from his actions, he had
made successful sale of his cattle and
the buyer had asked him to take one
with him." the offer had been accepted
and he had taken several.
After deliberately rolling the cud of to-
bacco around in his mouth few times, he
ga2ed down the car to the stove. and then.
as if he were sitting on his barnyard fence
discussing the hard times with a political
candidate, he combed his whiskers with his
fingers and absently aimed d stream of to-
bacco juice at the lower door of the stove.
me consequence was an edltying streak
over the intervening fioorspace. Everyone
in the car was instantly looking from the
stockraiser to the conductor.
The worthy collector of fares stepped up
to the eXpectorator and touched him on the
shoulder just as he gave a loud guffaw
over something his companion was saying.
The conductor pointed sternly at the pla-
card bearing the words NO splitting on
the floor of this car under penalty of the
law and then at a policeman who was
sitting on the gripcar.
The face of the rural passenger was 4
study. He was scared SO badly that he
swallowed part of his tobacco, and then,
with a white face, while all the other pas
sengers We're lily restraining their mirth,
he begged and entreated the conductor not
to call the policeman. With a word of ad-
vice for which he appeared to be most
humbly grateful. the conductor resumed his
post at the rear of the car.
The stranger with his cheek bulging with
the remainder of his original "chaw," rode
to Troost avenue without moving.
AT Troost avenue he recovered himself
enough TO think that he could leave the
car without the policeman being called to
arrest him.
