on the cushions of the seats–it is absolutely hoggish, and so unmannerly that it should bring the blush of shame to the face of a hyena.  It is frequently done by men and women who appear to have about them some of the elements of common decency.  Think of entering your friend’s parlor and burying your dirty foot gear in the clean and costly cushion of a chair!  All that can be said about it is, that no decent person will do it.  We have heard this language from scores of railroad men, and from other persons whose culture and decency have never been questioned.
