W me with a neat little gold ham,
mer day before yesterday. Why,
don't know.
But now that l have it l might as
we'll use it,
Every time / hop into one OF those
roomy, comfortable street cars in a
city of the second. third or even
fourth class Immediately contrast it
with the wood boxes We use in New
York. and l find myself growing red
in the face and biting my nails.
Those Squeezer cars that prowl the
streets OF New York are surely the
breathless limit, aren't they?
The Squeezer car is the best genteel
imitation of a rough-house that has
ever been invented.
They are called Squeezers because
the conductor has TO let the passen-
gers out with a can opener.
Brave and strong men climb into
a street car, and they are full of health
and life and vigor, but a few blocks
of the road they fall out backward and
inquire feebly for sanitarium.

evening brings out all that is in a

prostration and palpitation OF the
brain TO the square inch than the
combined population OF Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, Tinkerdam and Gotterdam-
merung.
To get In some OF the street cars
about six o'clock is a problem, and to
get out again is an assassination.
One evening recently l rode from
Forty-second street to Fifty-ninth
street without once touching the floor
with my feet.
Some of the New York street cars
lead a double life, because they are
used all winter TO act the part OF re-
frigerators.
1t is a cold day when we cannot
find it colder in the street cars.
The germs in onr street cars are ex-
tremely sociable and will follow a
stranger all the way home.
Often while riding in the New York
street cars have felt germ rubbing
against my ankle like kitten. Being
gentleman, at least specifically, !
did not reach down and kick 1t away,
because the law says we must not be
disrespectful to dumb brutes.
Many OF these street cars are built
on the same general plan as a can
of condensed milk.
When you get out you cannot get in,
and when you get in you cannot get
out, because you hate to disturb the
strange gentleman that is using your
knee to lean over.
Between the seats there is a space
of two feet, but in that space you

DEMAND Is FOR SERVICE
Public Ideas Have Had a Significant
Change In a Comparatively
Few Years.

When the French arigtocrat before
the great revolution was asked as TO
his chief service to society. he replied.
ITO have been born" He felt that his
mere presence In the world conferred
an honor on his country.
That has been the attitude OF privi-
legged classes OF all time. But new
ideal has come into mems minds--the
ideal OF labor, OF service TO the com
munity. Today the public In constant
