Got of the Car.

The patient-looking mother seemed
unable to do anything with the child.
1t hollered and yelled and carried on
worse than fan after a three-base
hit By a member of the home team at
the opening game.
Other passengers the car fldget-
ed in their seats and looked greatly
distressed, but said nothing, for the
mother was apparently doing all she
could TO restore quiet.
The heavy chinned man right across
the aisle from the woman seemed to
be getting more and more. annoyed
by the racket-even more so than the
rest Of the people After a time he
was unable TO restrain himself any
longer
1T seems 10 me-" says he, turning
10 the woman, that it's about time
you were doing something to stop that
babys crying I've sat here and put
up with il just as long as | could, but
think it's up TO you TO see that
there's a let up in It now pretty
quick"
The patient mother cuddled the
wailing youngster to her trile closer
and gave the irritable male passenger
q hurt look, but ventured no retort
There was no cessation in the noise,
but nearly everybody else In the car
was in full sympathy with the woman
now. Several able bodied men turned
around and glared at the square
chinned passenger who dared to speak
his mind.
The latter, however. continued to
express himself when kid hollers
Ike that" he opined, there's some
good reason for It. Children don't yell
'emselves hoarse because they've
heard that their lungs need the exer-
else. If 1t hasn't been getting the
right sort of food and feels grabbed
and mean on that account. l hope you
switch to some other kind of dope,
that's all"
II is not improbable that two or
three of the more muscular passengers
would have spoken severely to the
grouchy male complainant after the
last outburst if he hadn't risen just
then to get off the car AS he started
toward the rear platform. the patient
looking little woman got up and fol
lowed him When they had both
reached the street, the man turned,
took the child in his own arms-he
still looking grabbed and 1t still re-
citing the lyrics to a war dance-and
the trio went on UP street.
The man was the child's father, and
he had perfect right to say what
ever he wanted to about the manner
of its bringing up.-Cleveland Plain
