LOVE HAD 'EM.
Sick Kitties on the Sunday-
Excursion A Thrilling
Incident.
1
The sick kittv passenger on the I
Sunday excuision traius from'
Newport is not so much in vogue
as formerly. How youngsters of
16 to 20 sat on each other laps and
chewed each other's gums with a
dying calf look on their faces was !
sketched in the Times recently.
Of late true love has not seemed to
have so mellifluous effect on the
youngsters as formerly. They have
mostly been content to sit up
straight with nothing more serious
than a surreptitious holding of
hands'and an occasional sly glance
into each other eyes. Last Sunday
night, however, a batch of seven of
them in one car got the mania and
fell to with an abandon that
would have mortified to death any
thing else than a bunch of the ex
ceedingly sick-calf variety. Seven
of them, about three youths and
four youthesses sardined into one
double seat. They all had that kind
of love that absolutely refuses to
have a lid on it- Frank Durbin,
the old sheriff of Marion, and ex-
Governor Geer and wife sat across
the aisle and looked on at proceed
ings in dumb astonishment. At
last Mr. Durbin got his breath and
remarked that, "Superintendent
Gardner ought to come along and
gather in that bunch for the Boys
and Girl's Home: what do you
think of 'tm Geer. eh?" The ex-
governor took one swift glance at
the outfit and remarked, "if Mrs.
Geer were not along I would take a
hand in the tnixup, myself." ...
