REGULAR TYPE See the Commuter COMMUTER ‘is a person who commutes ona railroad; almost any railroad will do for the purposes of a commuter, provided it is near a busi- ness centre. The commuter then goes back and forth upon the railroad, to and from his business, and also to other places which we will generously refrain from mentioning. This is the act of commuting; it can be done by any fairly healthy per- son in good circumstances. Sometimes the commuters take a strange dislike to the railroad they travel- upon,- and then they have a meeting.’ It is very interesting to see a lot of commuters together under these circumstances. (Please excuse us, we mean in these circumstances, which is good Woodrow Wilson English.) When the -commuters have thus come together they talk and make other -unintelligent noises and after- wards appeal to the Government. The Government sends them an acknowlédgment of the appeal, after which. the railroad raises its rates in order to pay ‘the expenses of its dele- gates. to the Commuters’ Convention, and also for other reasons.

When a commuter is married, he is always a commuter, ex- cept in the summer time, when he lives in town with a few friends whom his wife has never met. And even if she did meet them, she would never be the same toward them that he is. When a commuter is single—— Cautious Hiram Two farmers met in a Western town a day or two after a cyclone had visited that particular neighborhood. “She shook things up pretty bad out at my place,” said one, stroking his whiskers meditatively. “By the way, Hi,” he added, “that new barn o” yourn get hurt any?” “Wal,” drawled the other, “I dunno.
