SHE GOT THE CHAIRS. | >'ot I.nrite- Hat a Woman of Serve, anil She Ciave a Human Iliiu a >1 ueli-.\eeded I. EMM on. There was a camp chair hog on a ! down-the-river excursion boat one af | ternoon who is probably going to be i less porcine the next time he goes riiling on a boat, relates the Wash ington Post. The boat was crowded, for it was a Saturday afternoon. The camp chair hog was a very big and very fierce- J looking individual. He hud reached ! the boat early and, for his own use, | he had snaked no less Ihan three of j the camp chairs from the pile on the 1 fifterdeek. He put the three camp j chairs down in the best and shadiest I positions on the afterdeck. On one i one of them he deposited a paper wrapped bundle that he had brought along with him. On another he de posited his person. On the third he deposited his legs. Thus this camp chair hog's little swinish game was I all set. The boat began to load up pretty | rapidly, every car dumping a large | crowd of folks intending to make the I journey. Ten minutes before the j boat was due to pull out all of the camp j chairs, benches and stools were ex j hausted, and disappointed men and women were running hither and ! yon, looking for places to sit down. I Not a few of them cast rather pecul | iar glances at the camp chair hog as j they passed near him. The people j sittingin the vicinity of the hog spent I most of their time glaring at him, and, as a matter of course, they all | hated him with a vindictive hatred. Several times timid-looking men I walked up to the camp chair hog, and, gazing longingly at the three seats, inquired vfeakly: "Are all of these engaged, sir?" "Yep," the hog replied in each case, , "they are." I Two or three stout women, with j wrath in their eyes, approached him and .submitted the same cptestion to i hitn, and they received the same iden tical reply. They walked away Hushed and angry, muttering. All the time, leaning against the j starboard rail, a little bit of a black ' eyed woman, standing alongside a | huge, good-natured looking man, watched the camp chair hog. She never took her flashing, beady, black ! eyes from him. She never moved, but ! she just watched. Her fingers | twitched a good deal, and she shook her head several times and muttered something in an undertone to the big i man, apparently her husband, stand > nig alongside of hi-r, but she didn't move. When she spoke to her hus band and nodded in the direction of ih<* camp chair hog. he only shook his head, as much as to say, "I'm go -1 in!_>* to keep out of trouble," When the boat began to pull out j anil nobody appeared to join the ciiinp chair hog, the little hit of a I biiick-eyed woman was, of course, convinced that he had reserved those three chairs unto himself. She was fair enough to wait until the boat pulled out to find nut if lie had my pnii\ of IHH in join him. The boat was just headed down j stream when she quietly walked over to lb" camp chair hog'.- -latino. W th oi i hand he calmly tu-M-d the package off the chair which the h«'g had reserved fur hi occupancy, t,ml with the other she tm.hleniy 'ji rked the chair from beiicufh the . - h■' I hen, tightly clutching tin two chair .

He wasn't saying a 1 word. The little black-eyed woman j got a good grip on both chairs and | marched with them over to where I l.er husband stood pulling his mus tache and grinning. And as she did so the handclapping j that broke out among those people 1 en the afterpart of that boat was of the kind that you hear on the ball grounds when one of the players on j the home nine makes a three-bag- ! ger. The camp chair hog stooped and picked up his dislodged package and | slouched forward, amid the jeers of ' the men and women who had studied , lis moves, and the, result thereof, j from the beginning.
