HOW A YdUNQ MAN WAS CURED
OF AN AMDITION ,
COUNT VON RAHOEN TELL8 IT ,
The Creltjhton Hotel Man at One
Time Wnnted to be .1 Knight of the
Iron Horse , But the Ambition was
Cooled In a Single Day.
Count Von Rntulon , the genial land
lord of ( ho CrolKhton hotel , tolls a
pretty Rood one on hlniHulf. When
ho rnnio to thlfl country ho ndniltH
, thnt ho was somewhat green. In thu
course of his' cnreor ho Inndod In
Grand iHlnnd nndVL > nt to work aa
clerk In the Palmer ' IIOUHO. That
work did not imrtlciilnrly milt him
nnd ho determined to go to railroad
Ing , Uvory tlmo the superintendent
cnmo to Ornnd Islnnd ho struck
him for n job , nnd llnnlly the miporln-
tondent told him that the next time
he hud iv vncnncy he would lot him
know. Ono day the count received
n niosaago from the superintendent
to report In Council HluftH , prepared
to go to breaking on n freight train
He loHt no tlmo In getting to Conn
ell Bluffs and noon found the con
ductor with whom ho wns to work
The conductor looked him over critic
ally as though Bl/lng up his cupaclty
nnd then gurllly Bald.
"Young man , you may go up on
top. "
Up on top the young man wont ,
nnd though the thermometer was
down to 20 degrees below zero , ho
managed to stick It out until the
train had reached Fremont. Then ho
clambered down the aide of the car
more dead than alive with the cold
and commenced to warm bin chilled
bonoa by the caboono lire. Pretty
Boon the conductor came In and dis
covered him and auked him what ho
wan doing thoro. The count ex
plained that ho did not. como dressed
to withstand such weather continu
ously , and that ho would freeze If ho
wore obliged to ride further on top
of the frolght car. The only sym
pathy ho received from the conductor
, wns : ,
"Well , next time you will know
enough to dross warmer. Go on
top ! "
This tlmo the count succeeded in
remaining on top until Columbus was
reached , when hd decided to make
another nppcal for warmth. The con
ductor was ready for him when ho
came down and ordered him to go
back on penalty of losing his job.
Although ho was chilled to the mar
row , the count clambered back and
fltuck to It until the train reached
Silver Creek , Then as boldly as ho
could with his limbs having all the
I appearance and aoiibaUnn of having
been through the cold storage pro
cess , ho came down from the car ,
walked deliberately Into the caboose
and aat down by the fire. Defore
the conductor had time to remon-
Btrato with him he defiantly said to
that august gentleman : "You may go
to with your old railroad. I'm n
brakoy out of a job. Put mo off at
Grand Island and hack to the hashory
I go. "
It was done nnd the next morning
ho appeared behind the desk of the
hotel ns smiling as ever to the travelIng -
Ing people who cnmo to atop with
htm.
htm.A
A long tlmo afterward ho found out
that the whole transaction was n put
up job , In which ho llrtnly believes
the suprolntondont was more or loss
Implicated , to make him sick of rail
roadtng.
It worked.

the prospects are that ho is bent ot
keeping the thing going until thi
ground la again thoroughly aoakei
and the ponds and ditches full. Farm
era aay that some rain will benefl
rather than damage the growluj
cropa , but for the sake of the oat :
and wheat crop It should not contln
uo very long or do the thing to ai
excess.
