A LIVING ROMANCE OF WILD NATIVES AND WIDE DISTANCES eS: A Tale of the Arizona Desert <4» 3 By Roger Pocock NEW YORK THRO’ FUNNY,GLASSES | By I. 8. Cobb. HERE was a man who always went downtown of mornings like fire engine, so that he might have plenty of time to put hia feet uy on the desk, after he got to the office, and read all the morning papers, In the bright lexicon of his youth there was no such wom as tnke-it-easy, It was the regret of his life that he couldn't travel to Nassau street In a pneumatic tube. Howsomever, he did the best he could under the cireumstano:s. He had the regular Manhattan and Brooklyn walking | gait, so-called because it is a cross between a hand-gallop and a third alarm: Thia is not a confined or exclusive style, There are upwards of 2,000,000 aduit males in this town, and all but s2venty-five of them feel that pupae requires them to go at a run ali the time, The other seyventy- five a earse-drivers, It was the custom of this man to arise with a bound at bis cosy, not to say snug Harlem flat, and clothe himself with rapid circular motions, His method of making food disappear at the breakfast table suggested parlor magic. When he took his spoon in hand and lit into the soft- botled eggs you couldn't tell whether he was eating the eggs or beating them. After swallowing a couple of rolls whole, like capsules, he started for the Manhattan etreet station of the Subway with the speed limit off, The escalator to the overhead platform being too slow for him he ran up the steps, four at a time—only 128 steps in all—and dashed past the ticket chopper, panting like @ lizard, just in time to miss a southbound express 3 Next! By J. Campbeil Cory. Mecoroy mecaLe rie aa but not he. When a local came fm he walked aboard, stepping on and over those who happened to ba in front of him, and he rode to Ninety-sixth street, Arriving there, he hurdied a German lady as he surged for the platform. Again he lost by an eyelash. On the rear end of a train just sliding away in the tunnel-bore burned the two red lamps of an express, like a ‘coon’s eyes tn a hollow, The next train that came along was a West Farms local. And the next a Broadway local. And the next a Lenox avenue local. Meanwhile the platform was filling up with victims of the Ninety-sixth street habit, until the only standing room was on the third rail. Finally an express—a Broad- way express—came. It was the same express in which the man could have gotten a comfortable seat if he had only waited at Manhattan street, but now it was packed to the corset and breakfast food advertisementa above the straps. Mr. Belmont's conductors are the boys who know how to make. two passengers grow where but one was meant to grow. Well, anyhow, the man got on a car by destroying several others, but he had to ride to the Bridge th his nose in a ‘longshoreman’s waistcoat pocket and a thin man’s elbow joint altering the conformation of his spine. But he was satisfied—he thought he had saved time. THE FUNNY PART: He'll do the same thing over again the next morning. i to Where Diamonds Come From.
