The fat man had q nice new drinking
cup. 1t collapsed into metal case and
was pulled out when In use.
He tried it for the first time on day
coach, comparing 1t mentally with the
battered old piece Of greasy tinware that
the railroad furnished. It worked so
nicely that every few minutes he would
walk 10 the cooler, take out his cup, and
with . look of satisfaction on his face,
get drink.
The passengers watched him with
envy. Finally one of the five children
travelling with their mother greatly de-
sired drink.
"Don't use that cup" the mother
said; "it's full of germs. Didn't you
see that fat gentleman drinking out of a
pocket cup2 Go up there and ask bim so
let you use it. Ask him nicely, now"
Then four children wanted drink.
The fat man looked astonished and uu-
certain, but gave up his cup. One of
the thoughtful young ones carried cup
of water to its mamma, and she in turn
passed the collapsible cup to a tired old
lady sitting behind her.
"Thank you, sir" said the child, po-
litely.
"Ump!" said the fat man, putting the
cup back in its case. He looked up. A
suave and polished gentleman stood be-
side his seat.
"My FRIEND" he said: "lend me your
cup. If there is one thing on earth that
is unsanitary it's public drinking cup.
/ usually carry paper cups with me, but
| left In such a. The fat man handed
over the cup, and the suave gentleman
drank long and deep.
He came back with the cup filed with
wafer. As no passed the fat man lie
said :.
