The MotOrn1an
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old SiVVash.o

" HE motorman is the sad individual
who occupies a few Die inches
4 of space among the smokers in the
front vestibule of our street cars and
propels said cars by grinding a brass
handle around and around.
The mOtOrman's sadness is not natural
but is produced by artificial means.
When he wakes in the morning he is
happy and sings a merry roundelay as he
grabs the controller and grinds out
electricity like a housewife grinding
coffee. But after he has waited a minute
for a woman with four bundles who is
trying to get in at the wrong door; and
has been laid out on the switch by an
other car and has rung IS9 times for a
coal wagon to get off the track ahead !;
and has permanently disabled himself
trying to stop in order to save an auto
mobile which is backing the wrong way,
and has been asked by The dispatcher if
he thinks he is running a hearse instead
of a street car, he becomes mOrose and
gloomy and wishes that the world were
smaller in order that he might kick it to
Jericho with one well directed blow.
The mOtorman has to run his car
down a narrow track II the middle of
the street and miss everything upon it.
When we consider how few automobiles
can 90 through a city street without
butting something far into space we can

The Expatriate
By Walt mason

Jack Johnsing's gone to dwell in
France, to come back never more; no
more in twelve-foot rings he'll prance,
on this, his native shore. The other pugs
may swap hard knocks, and strive to
gain a pile, but never more shall John
sing box, or smile his golden smile. The
horrid news came DER the wires: "Jael1
Johnsing won't returnl The thankless
country of his sires he evermore shall
spurn! He elasped that country to his
breast, and made it what it is, and then
it bit him on the chest-he's done with
it, gee whiz!" And yet our flag waves
Just the same IN sunshine and in fog,
and cen the age-old fighting game has
not yet slipped a cog; the rivers ramble
to the sea, and in the sunbeams dance,
although Jack Johnsing says that he
will not come back from France. Our
bulwarks stack up just as high as in the
days Of yore; palladiums you cannot buy
much cheaper than before; our grand old
Constitution still has prestige in the
land; it seems that swords of Bunker
Hill are largely in demand. Undaunted
by one dire mischance, our divers paths
We'll roam, and Johnsing may remain in
France until the COWS come home.-Copy-
right, 1913, by George Matthew Adams.
