A man, specializing on the narrow
ness of acquaintance among near
neighbors in a city, rambled along
with the following story, naming no
names, because he didn't know them:
Truly a city, even the size of To-
peka, is strange place. This morn
ing a man boarded the street car out
in the west end, went inside and sat
down. A neighbor of mine on the
rear platform asked me his name. 1
suffered and stammered and couldn't
answer. Yet I have known that man
by sight for fifteen years and he must
live not more than few blocks from
me.
when first saw him, it must have
been at least fifteen years ago, he was
young fellow chasing around al
parks, dances and shows with the
young fellows. A little later he must
have got the girl craze and 1 saw him
with many different girls. Then for
a time 1 saw him with one particular
girl on every occasion. OF course
hliSW uc ildO d case QOn Know
when he was married but 1 know he
was married for he and the girl be-
gan riding the same street car from a
new part of town. 1 know when their
baby was born, or about the time, for
I saw them with it on the street car.
L am satisfied too, that they had
domestic trouble that must have been
serious. For year or more he trav-
eled another street car line, ALWAYS
without the girl and the baby. And
l saw her leaving another. and a diff
ferent car line frequently with the
baby. I saw both of them on the
, street but never together
Then they patched things I'D for
they began using the old car line
again and they sat with the baby be-
been break. 1 see him when he goes
TO work and some times when he goes
nome. If 1 see him in the evening
the wife and youngsters are with him.
Today when I looked at him I no
dced gray patch over each ear and
croWsfeet around each eye. There are
ilnes in his face. He's getting old. r
nave known him by sight for fifteen
years. have been able to make a good
guess at his daily life, yet never have
SPOKEN 10 MN don't know where he
llVes or works and don't know his
name. He looks like a good fellow and
L decided today that 1 am going 70
