nnnciation of automobile and street
car nuisances. Pray lend an attentive
ear to the plant of plain pedestrian
MY pet growl is anent the human
porkers who usurp the sidewalk and
crowd decent law abiders into the
gutter. Sometimes you are elbowed
off by a trio who. instead of breaking
away to their own side of the COM
mon path. take the middle. and so
give you no alternative save to step
from the curb or batter ahead with
out regard to consequences.
Sometimes it's only a selfish pair
usually man and a wOman-who
come down the middle and take it for
granted you will break away and let
the procession 20 by. thing which
you usually do rather than make a
disturbance.
But the other evening | plucked up
courage, and when big fellow with
two gum chewing girls tramped down
the walk held my ground and very
neatly put my shoulder into the fell
low just as he jostled me. He whirled
around instantly and yelled, Where
are you going. you shrimp
Il have no talent in profanity. and
no doubt didn't do the situation jus
tice. All could say was: I'm trying
to teach you Il little manners. You case

minute more I'll have q ring in your

abating this sidewalk nuisance, won't

him to be a man; he does not lay
