MAN, WOMEN AND CAR.

The man
He sits down
On the car seat
The woman
She stands up
On her two feet
And the man
Absorbed in great thought
Is so entirely wrought
Up by it that he never sees
The woman, and the woman, also,
Absorbed in great thought,
Is so entirely wrought
Up by it that she never sees anything
But the man
Holding down the car seat
And her feet
Are almighty tired
But not half so tired as she is
OF the kind of manners
That the man has got
And there are Others
And
The man
Hangs on to the car seat
Because he, has as many feet
And they are twice as big
AS the woman has
And take twice as long
To get the tired out of them,
And he doesn't care
If she does call him a pig,
And the car
Jumps and
Bumps and
Starts and stops
And the woman nearly drops
But the man never does
And the man
Does the very best he can
To read. his paper
And the woman
Wonders as she is showed around
And walked over
Whether the strap
Or her wrist or her elbow or her
Shoulders will be pulled out by the
Roots,
And the man
Doesn't seem to care
So long as he isn't dragged out Of his
Seat.
And the conductor says Tickets"
And "Step forward, please
And 'Hold fast everybody"
And Transfers" and Sixteenth
Street"
And "Oomthi Street"
And "Tieth street"
And "Tyninth street.
And the woman
Says things not fit for publication
And the man
Sitting in the seat
Never says a word
And the woman
Grits her teeth
And sticks her nails into the strap
And she feels a seam in her waist
Give way and she bangs into the
Crowd
And she knows her hat isn't on
Straight.
And all the blood has run
Down out of her fingers, and her arm
Feels like lump of putty
Stuck full of needles and pins
And the man
Folds up his paper
And shows some signs
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1901-09-02

/ That something is going to happen
Before this time next year
And
The woman takes hope
And partly relaxes her grasp
And the conductor sings out
Hold fast, everybody"
And the woman grabs hold again
And presently the man
Sticks his paper in his pocket
And pulls his oyercoat together
And smooths himself out and
Rises up before the woman
And takes off his hat
And bows and makes a bluff at being
Polite
And while he is about it
And the woman is smiling
With an infinite sense of relief at last
And trying to say
"Oh, thank you very much"
When she would ever SO much
Rather choke him
Another woman behind him
Slips into the seat he has just vacated
And
The man
Gets off the car wondering if he will
Ever see her again and feeling pretty
Well pleased with himself
And
The woman
Grabs the strap again
And entirely forgets the man
Who had the seat before
THINKING Of fhp woman
Who has it now and with as much
Right to it as she thought she had
To it
When the man had it,
She being a woman.

No more dlgnitied or gentlemanly off,

A short time ago, so the story runs. he
was doing In his chair when an usher
hurried in and exclaimed:
There's a man downstairs who
wants to see Mr. Cortelyou,"
"He can't see him." answered Arthur
with irmness and precision.
"But this man says he's got to see
him. pleaded the messenger.
Don't know nothln' about that
Arthur replied, closing his eyes as II
the interview were at an end. Nobody

"You can talk all you want to about

railroad man who just returned from

A preacher, too. He is called Every

patient shrug.
"The way he got his name is rather
amusing. He lives near Zumbrota, In
Goodhue County. When he was a youth
and his name was handed to him 1t
was 'Hog'-yes. spelled the same way,
and also pronounced that way. After
he engaged upon his ministerial duties
he did not care to be called hog, 50
he asked that his name be changed.
He appealed to the District Court. and
the Judge asked him what name he pre-
ferred. He replied, saying anything
would do. Therefore. they gave him
the name Of Thing. and It is his FOR

Germans witb Irish Brogue.

OF late years many German boys go
to Ireland to learn the language and ac-
quire at the same time the true middle
class opinion Of England, which they
cherish and propagate on their return
to their native land. Perhaps, says the
Outlook, that is one of the sources Of
German dislike for the Englishman.
Another thing that the German boy ac.
quires In Ireland is rich and varied
brogue, and one of the most amusing
things one hears in Germany is the
waiter who speaks German-Irish En-
glish. A music hall comedian who
could adequately initiate this combina-
ton, as ! have frequently heard It,
would certainly make his fortune. Next

Thread Used in Surgery.

The modern surgeon employs In his
work dozens of different kinds OF
thread for sewing up cuts and wounds.
Among them are kangaroo tendons,
horsehair, silk and very fine silver
wire. Many of these threads are In
tended to hold for a certain number Of
days and then naturally break away.
The short, tough tendons taken from
the kangaroo. which are used for sew
ing severe wounds, will hold for about
four weeks before they break away,
silk thread viii remain much longer,
sometimes six months. while the dne
silver wire is practically indestructible.
With the entire outfit q surgeon is
able to select thread that win last as
long as the wound takes to heal and
viii then disappear completely. To
accommodate this assortment Of
threads special varieties Of needles
are required. Besides the needle

Gle, surgeons use needles shaped like
spears, javelins and bayonet points.
Some are as long as bodkins, In point
like q miniature knife blade. Others
have the sharpeRed end triangular.

That of William Leads All Others in

Parents display some queer notions OF
propriety in naming their children.
Those Of religious turn Of mind more
frequently in former times than now
search the scriptures before the baptis-
NAL ceremony. Parents In search Of
fortune will label their luckless babes
with the surname Of the expected testa-
tor. But, nevertheless, the list OF COM
mon English Christian names is a very
small one. Out of every 100 fathers and
mothers Of male children some eighty
four limit their choice to fifteen famil-
lar names.
The favorite name Is undoubtedly
William. In all ranks of society-~in
the peerage as In the workhouse-Will-

names.

Johns, closely followed by the Georges

The next commonest name Is Thomas,
which has seventy-four owners, while
James claims seventy-two. Henry and
Harry between them are seventy in
number. OF these about one in fouI
have received the name Of Harry at
the baptismal font. Following them
come Frederick with fifty-seyen
| Charles with forty-eight, Alfred with
forty-five and Albert some way behind
with thirty-one. The popularity Of Al
bert has arisen entirely from the per
sonal popularity of our late Queens
beloved consort. It was practically un
known in England before Queen Victo
ria's marriage.
The good old Saxon appellation Of Ed
ward is given to five and twenty out oi
