PRODUCER OF PICKLES
A VICTIM OF WAGS

It is not safe to mention cucumbers
on the 1880 am. Fourth avenue short
line car these mornings. There is a
cucumber man, sore in spirit, who gen
orally takes that car and he is laying
for some practical jokers with stilet-
he spends a few hours morning and even
ing trying to raise prize fruit, flowers
and vegetables. He has swelled with
pride over his cucumbers.
He exploited these cukes to such an
extent that he became known as ecu
cumber' Thompson, and strong men
would miss a car to avoid hearing what
the cucumbers had done in the last
twenty-four hours. Finally the gang
began to plot accordingly.
It was decided yesterday morning
that the entire gang should lay for
H Cucumber and ask to be taken over
to see the cucumbers While this was
going on the trap was to be sprung in
the Thompson garden When Ecu;

inch-and -a-half cucmbers' was the cry.
| Cucumber feared it was josh but
finally agreed.
Proudly he opened the garden gate
and led the gang to the cucumber cor
ner. At once 1t became apparent that
something had been doing in the few
minutes since he left them to 90 to the
car. Every little runt Of a cucumber
plant was grooming under a burden Of
fruit All the fifty-seven varieties of
cucumber pickles to be found in every
well regulated grocery store were there
Tied to the little stubby vines were
sweet pickles, sour pickles, dills, mus.
tards, spiced beauts, and Others, all
safely anchored to their foster mother
plants with blue baby ribbon. Il
Cucumber" rs eyes began to
bulge and before he had time to swea,
the gang had exploded itself in a shout
Of ghoulish glee. Before the shouts had
died away . Cucumber = was taking re
venge on the innocent plants. He tore
them up by the handful and tossed them
in the air. It rained dill pickles fol
twenty minutes Then the procession
started for the car leaving Thompson
behind swearing like a pirate at the
lifty-seven varieties of fool jokesters
to be found in the eighth ward.
