Spoiled Children.

On a crowded Interurban car the day after Christmas there was a jostling, pushing, complaining bunch in the aisle. There was just one woman in the bunch who was not complaining, and she was good to look at, being cheerful, pretty and perfectly clothed, from her russet shoes to the brown hat that topped her gold-brown hair. Her lovely brown suit was coming in contact with all sorts of shabby clothing, but she chuckled, and remarked to the strange woman next to her: “What spoiled children we are! Here we are In a warm, comfortable car, fairly flying over the road, and grumbling all the way. I can remember when a trip to Indianapolis meant, for me, a-chair in a farm wagon, maybe way back over the hind Wheels; and yet, even in zero weather, jolting and jouncing over fifteen miles of frozen road. I never whimpered. I was just glad all through for the chance to take the wonderful trip to the city.” ’ . A sheepish grin spread over a number of faces in her vicinity, proving that others could dig up similar memories.—lndianapolis Star.
