"Strange how many of the good old customs are dying out," said the Union street car Grouch who was usually peeved bocause his favorite standing room space in the corner near the front door had been preempted by a youth, who was not a regular rider on the 8:16 from Greenwood, and did not know that that particular corner was reserved by common consent for the gent with the peppery disposition. "Wilmt you kicking about now?" asked the Oldest Commuter, who always grots on the car at the cemetery and takes the seat next the "amen corner." "Juat thinking of the days of my youth," said the Grouch, "when we used to hire a few funeral coaches and got up a gang of fifteen or twenty buckos and make a round of calls, starting at 10 a.m.

and winding up fometime about sunrise on January 2. Joesn't seem to be any fun of that kind any more." "That's where you're dead wrong," said the O. C.
