On the Spur
of the Moment
BY ROY X. MOULTON.

Ridin' ON the Train.
A Teller sees some funny things whine
ridin' on the train,
Some things he never saw before and
never may again;
Fer human natures at its worst when
It's away from home.
You don't know any 3eller's traits until
he starts to roam.
There's always some fat gentleman who
snores an awful pile.
And sleeps all night with his sock feet
a-hangin' in the aisle.
The spinster with the hatbox sits quite
primply up In front.
She has q parrot who pulls on q ehrtll
nerve-racking stunt.
The gabby actress person shrieks her
troubles and her woes,
And peeves the tired passengers who
vainly seek repose;
The usual train joker is on hand to
spring his gun,
And sometimes there's punk quartet
that pulls some awful stun.
The brakeman throws the portal wide,
let's in the cold and snow.
And yells a lot Of railroad Greek that
no one else could know.
The crying kid hits up his song in tones
bespeaking pain.
Teller gets a dandy rest while ridin' on
the train.
What Troubled Him.
A man was feeling depressed and run
down and his doctor advised a trip to a
rest cure When the doctor babe the
patient good-by. he said: Now. remem-
Der my instructions. Adhere to a strict
diet. take plenty Of exercise in the open
air. Drink no intoxicants and smoke one
cigar a day and one only
In the course of two weeks the doctor
got a letter from the patient which read
as follows:
"Dear Doc: I have been getting along
pretty WELL 1 am keeping to a strict
diet and take a little exercise In the
fresh air every day: I haven't touched
but there is one thing that keeps me sick
i all the time. It's that blamed one cigar
, every day and I am finding it hard t.
follow your instructions in that regard
I never smoked a cigar before in my nfe.'
