A LITTLE WORD,
And Quicky spoker, sun it Was the
Touch of Eellew Feeling That Made
the WorId fkin.

And Qucky spoker, sun it Was the
Touch of EeII.w Feeling That Made
the World ekin.
1t was only a word-an extremely
common, ordinary, everyday sort of a
word-but if made business men smile;
III made young men laugh; it made Sc
uate. motherly matrons draw down the
scorners of their mouths and wrinkle
up their chins in a peculiarly unmat-
ronly manner; it made giddy girl stu
dents swallow their gum and giggle :
in short, it made all Of us aboard that
car forget ourselves for enc brief mo-
naent: it took us out of the cumbersome,
conventional environment of everyday
life and put US back for one brief Sec
ono among our sleds ana tin horns,
our toothacheS and our delicious child
hood troubles. But it was only for a
second. then this every day dignity of
ours came to the rescue, Like wax on
Ice, every muscle in those faces hard
ened into place. We stiffened up like
rails and glared across the aisle of that
car at each other like Kilkenny cats
We were strictly business men and wo-
men in an instant, but down in our
hearts, away down deep, beneath the
stocks and bonds and rents and I'M
paid bills and such things, each felt
better for that brief relaxation.
We had waited on turnout for the
down car fort seemed like Is min
Hutes, but perhaps it was only s. All
We're anxious to get ahead and chafed
under the delay. Suddenly a rumbling
was heard along the line. 1t foretold
the approach of a car, and every back
was bent and every neck was craned
forward in an effort to get a glimpse
of our deliverer, when that word was
spoken.
The word was Rubber"
