The Railroad Hog

"The car hog is more and more in evidence avery d i par conductor the other day to ;i World man. "The warm wreather1 d ivelops traits thatrfiave lormant with the winter. I have counted nix different varlettea of the breed In a week. I used to be a raiser of stock in more prosperous days and I'm a good judg-e. The most common sort is tiiat oL the feHow who occupies room than he need?; never sees that he c-ould raake room for anybody and is evirlently tl. e same when he is at home. ril bet lies the man who gets mornlng paper flrst, reads it to himself. sdves no or,p r-lsp a rtam-s nnrt carrles it downtown in his pocket. "Then there's the feüow who crosse his legs and when any one seeks to pass simply turns his foot edgsways so that twice asmueh dirt is rubbed of on a woman's dress and he grets half a shine for nothing. If a bigger man stands still and glares at hira he wil unfold his legs, but only then. Thls is the iame animal who lkea to stretch out In cross seats on tho "!' and clean hls f'oots on the edge of the seat. 'The thirü of the Bp8ii8 s less bold than his brothers.

The fact was brought to hls attention, however, by t'e paper being pushed i front of hls i??..5 and then wfthdrawn, and nhen he 1-ioked up A dozn amiling faces made his face turn fairly sallow. "The fifth is really or.Iy a pig. Hes not grown, but thinks he is. His nose - that's not the word, but it will do- is retrousse, and the little bristles under it are earefully cared for. He likes to orovvd close to a pretty girl and stare at her with such a look. If he sits opposUe her his eyes rarely wan Ier from hers. I saw one young woman stare at t'.e feet of one of that sort for flve minutes. He pulled them back and fidgcted them about, finally resttng on his toes. F!ie kept right on staiing and he heccnv? very unoomfortable. I'm lod that's a sure edy. He finally got out on the platform. "Thp last of the railroad hogs I know, although there n-ay be others, is the one pho opens his newspaper so as to shut out the view of those on either slde of hlm. If he'cl fold it down the center of the pa.ye - but, pshaw! he won t. -
