\ POSSIBILITY, NOT A FACT.

| 1t happened on College Hill ear. A lot
of men and women were riding on a
street car in which were an old woman
who was at the age when she would have
| been insulted to be called old. an old man
of the same sort and who tried TO look
sporty with his gray rnustache. and a
| baby three years old. The baby was with
the two old people, and this Is verbatim
report of the triangular conversation that
was carried on in a loud tone, the parties
looking about occasionally to see that
everyone in the car could hear distinctly:
+, Woman-Who is at man? Huh? What?
| Baby-Dono.
| Woman-Yes, he does know, bess his
| title heart. \IIim's just in fun
| Man-Tum now. Tell me who | is?
| Baby-Danpa.
| Woman and man in chorus docking at
each other and grinning like Cheshire
/ cats-Uh-huh, OF course he knew all the
time. oh, but he's cute
/ Man-Vyhere did him Diet is gloves
hey? Tell danpa where him dot his little
gloves?
| Woman-Say down town.
! Baby-Down town.
| Man and woman in chorus tdoing an
! other dentrifce specialty)-Just listen.
| Isn't il wonderful how he talks? told
| Mamie this morning she just had 10 let
me take him down town. She's so strict
| with him that i tell her she's positively
cruel to the chiid-what?
! Baby-Dimme my tandy.
| Woman-No, baby mustn't have tandy.
| Bad for baby's tummy. Make baby SICK.
Baby-I wants my tandy,
Woman-Look at re little doggie out re
window-look,
| Baby-I wants my tandy,
Man-Look at choo-choo cars goin' by
| see EN-?
Baby-I wants my tandy-whee-ee-e
ee-ee-wow. wow
Woman-Wel. il san have its tsudy. I
! tell you, Mamie's entirely too hard on the
child and you can see its effect on him
| Just starved for candy? She tells me I'd
| spoil him. but that's just her notion
about fishes so strict. Just look at
| him now how good he is, and without a
bit OF humorins.
Man-How does re old tow go?
| Baby-Moo-oo-oo,
Man and woman in chorus-M m m ,
| Isn't that too cute for anything. It's so
! strange-everywhere he's taken people
just notice him-they hardly take their
| eyes off of him-what. Poplar street =?
Well tum on Daby. tum wifi dranma and
danpa. Amt il nice Drama and baby
met danpa on the car?
| Puzzle-Guess what the men on the
car said under their breaths while they
| had to listen TO that CUFF. and guess what
the few ladies on the car would have said
if they hadn't been ladies. Guess. also,
why the minister who sat real close to the
foolish bunch wished that he was lay
man for about five minutes.
