MID the herd OF human porkers crowded
on the trolley car
All is seihshness and jostle, making age
and sex no bar:
Men collapse In seats and stay there, let
ting shrinking ladies stand
with look OF indignation-and strap
In either hand
Yet there's one thing that you've noticed
never fails 10 make STIR
When a woman with baby comes they
all make room for her.
I have sat IN stufry coaches on a crowded
railway train,
Listening 10 case hardened travellers who
declared with might and main
That they'd see the railroad company In
hades' fiercest heat
Long before they'd even think or giving
any one n seat;
Then. ere scarce they'd ceased their
boastng, they'd rise without demur-
For woman with a baby. they must all
make room for her.
There is something sweet, Madonnalike.
in pictures such as that,
And II makes the lowest ruffian feel like
taking off his hat:
For II bears him back TO boyhood, when
loving mother arms
Closely clung to him and kept of e'en the
least OF earth's alarms.
SO, no matter what his station, he Will
evermore defer
To a woman with a baby--he has rever-

| Once I dreamed I stood in heaven just in
side the pearly gate.
| While to every new arrival good st. Peter
said: You're late;
For the places are all taken and the harps
are all In use,
Golden streets are just so crowded that
had 10 call a truce"
Then little. tired out woman iugged a
| baby into view,
And 81. Peter said: Were full up but
we'll find a place for YOU"
