Excerpt from Tit Bits for Travelers: Or Random Pages From a Reporter's Scrap BookA baby here began to cry vociferously near the rear end of the car, much evidently, to the embarrassment of the young father, who, with high hat awfully battered during the hours of sleep, took it from the mother's arms, vainly endeavoring by a series of gyrations and jumpings to soothe the infantile grief. The yelling was contagious. Four or five other babies, summoned by the cries of the first one back to this world of milk and merriment, in continently set up a screaming which effectually awoke every one, including the poor woman, who humbly thanked the kind miller for his overcoat, and handed him it with the green cotton umbrella he had left there.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
