Next camo tho Holdrege kick off which ended in a touch down for but instead of McCooks being nsnlucky at kicking goal it scored mak ing our boys one behind Thus the first half ended with a score of 5

ing a smoke Mr Calvert tapped him on the shoulder gently and asked him if he did not know that it was against the rules of the company for porters to smoke in their cars The belligerency of the col ored man was in evidence at once He said I guess it is none of your business so long as the officials of the road do not catch me at it It is said that Mr Cal vert smiled and went on Lincoln Jour nal
