Fun for n Small Roy and for All the Passen-
gers Near Him on nm Elevated Car.
Going up on the elevated there was the usual
crowd to be found in the cars on the evening Of
any fair holiday, including the number OF chill
dren seen on such occasions, ranging from in
fants up to children well grown. And they were
all tired, or nearly all of them, after a long day
of pleasure, and some of the little ones were
asleep in their mothers arms. There was one
stretched out on a cross seat. occupying it all;
however crowded a car may be, nobody ever
dreams Of disturbing a sleeping child on a
cross seat.
This particular car was very crowded, and
with the usual number of children, 1t had one
that was not a bit sleepy. but on the contrary
very wide awake indeed. This was a Jolly lit
tie chap who liked the hustle and excitement
and added something to it himself. He came In
with his father. and they both stood wedged in
among the folks in the crowded aisle. The boy
was. maybe, 4 years old. He stood in front of q
kindly disposed young woman, sitting in a side
seat, who presently offered to take the youngster
upon her lap. He permitted himself to be lifted
up. but in a moment he slid down again, and
then 1t seemed as though he were too shy to sit
there. A moment later 1t was seen that he had
slipped down and stopped down on the floor of
the car to pick up a rose which he had dropped.
Then he permitted himself to be lifted up again
and he settled himself at once very comfortably.
Then he set about getting the rose into his
buttonhole. which he had difficulty in doing;
but his father helped, and soon he had the
stem run down through a buttonhole of the
boys coat ana the rose securely placed. Then
tho fun began.
The youngster pulled off a leaf from the rose
and placed 1T at his lips and blew on 1t and
made a %raspinR, discordant sound that drew
the attention of everybody sitting near and
made the youngster himself laugh. and when
