Whv Is It that thousands of people, of all
classes, like to beat the railroad? This Is
a quetlon which railroad officials have long
etruo-gled with, according to an attache of
the patienger department of a railroad with
of'lc r In ft. I.iuls. He saya that It has
almost reached a mania, and men of mean",
well-to-do farmers, storekeepere and pro
fessional men. known for their honesty in
business dealings, will resort to manv
tricks snd untruths to deprive the rail
roads of what Is honestly theirs.
Rome of the arhemcs devlaed are very
elaborate, whle others are absurdly sim
ple. Sometimes they work and some
times they don't. Generally they do. for,
In spite of the great syetem formed by
the rftllronds to protect their Interests,
tho public Is nstuiallv given the benefit of
the doubt.
Perhaps the oldest game of the man who
seeks a free ride Is that of the man who
hoards the train and tenders for payment
of ensh fore a $1o0 bill. Usually a con
ductor Is unable to get the change, he Is
not eliowed to eject the passenger be
cause he has volunteered to pay, and th
man gets Ma ride free. Thla Is not so
general a practice for the reason that a
small per cent of the public carry 1100
bills. Then, too, the game baa been hit
rather hard by the ruling enforced two
years ago to the effect that no pasaenger
rhouM board a train without first pur
chasing a ticket.
tl'nrklng nil M Bill.
A train auditor, who for several year
had a run from Ft. Louis to Oklahoma
City, was several times the victim of one
of these fellows. He soon realized that he
wa being deliberately Imposed upon, so
he secured 1100 In change and waited
.Within a few days the man boarded the
'train at Monet!. Mo., and. as usual, ten
dered the well-worn bill. The auditor who
withholds- hut name, quietly pulled out the
change, but deducted all the free-pass
rides, of which he had kept an accurate
account. The paasenger became enraged,
of rourse. but the auditor bluffed It
through and1 left the man sadder but much
w!s r.
Another trick, seldom resorted to. and
also spoiled by the 190". ruling with regard
to the purchase of tickets, Is much more
complicated, and requires the aid of a
confederate. It waa brought to light on
the Krteco railroad.
Mr. A boarded the St. txmls train at
Oklahoma City and paid cash fare to St.
Iiouls. His confederate. Mr. B. n'lro
boarded the train, but tendered aa fare
a llckel to a point twenty-five miles up
the line. 'As soon aa the train auditor had
made the first collection of fares. Mr. A,
who had received a cash fare receipt -as
well as a hat check, opened his grip, put
hia hat inside and handed the hat check
to Mr, B. Then he raised the window
and when the condurtor paaed through
the train again unfolded a tsle of woe.
telling how hla hat had blown out of the
window. The auditor wired back over the
line asking section gangs to look for and
return the hat which was never lost. Mr.
B had a hat check to Bt. Louis and waa
pasaed by without question. The trick be
came known through a man who witnessed
lis operation and who afterward told the
train auditor.
"What makes me mad." said the train
man, when he learned of the strategy,
"la the fed that t eent four or five tele
grama trying to trace a hat that waa in
the train all of the time."
Tn of a Kind.
A scheme that works well on a crowded
train, and also lequlres two operatives,
cornea to light through a Wabash train
man. Two men boarded a train at Moberly,
Mo., with one ticket to St.. Louis. Mr. C.
bit off one corner of the ticket, kept the
piece and handed the ticket to Mr. P.
Mr. C. seated himself In the renter of the
car and when the train auditor had almost
reached him. went forward, passing the
conductor. While he was gone Mr. D.
handed In the ticket and got a hat check.
Presently the conductor approached Mr.
C. and asked for his ticket. Mr. C. feigned
surprise and Insisted that he had already
given In the ticket.
"By Ueorgel" he laughed, good-naturedly.

"It Is a good thing that 1 haw-en d to put
th ticket In my mouth, else I would h
been forced to pay two fares. I bit off
the corner, as a fellow thoihtlrMy will,
and li-rn It Is under my tongue now."
And he produced the pleoe. which, when
fitted to the tlckrt, sustained hi ronton-
tkm. The rondctor was satlrfed. laoithed
at the apparent humor of the sltuitlon and
gave him a hat rheck. Itoth men ha'! a
ride on one ticket and tiiey laughed in
glee at havlnn "beaten the railroad."
A railroad official whose home is In St.
Ixiuis tells of an Incident that . IIIumi ate
the pi'bllc attitude toward the railroad.
He was a passenger i n a train and was
seated In the Pullman beside a prosperous
country merchant who lives In Marshall.
M Is sourl
The paxenKer c.irefullv counted over hU
money everal times, figured up the proper
price of the ticket which he had Just pur
chased, and chuckled with self-satlsfactlon.
( hookies Tnrnrd to tVnKrnee.
"I'm a lucky chap." he eenflded to the
railroad official, not knowing, of course,
his business. "The price of that ticket
was ttUO. I gave the ticket agent a 110
bill, and he got bothered and gave me I
back the change that would have been
due me if 1 had given him a $-t bill. I
sure heat the railroad that time.''
The official, who is connected with the
Chicago & Alton, forthwith hed a little
light du the BtibJvct of beating the rail
roads, which caused the Marshall mer
chant's rather elastic conscience to con
tract with a Jerk.
"My dear sir." said the railroader, "you
have not beaten tho railroad out of a sin
gle cent. That ticket agent Is working on
a salary of exactly per month. Your
business. I should JuH;e, nets you many
times that amount. That salaried ticket
seller Is responsible for every ticket In
trusted to his care, and has to pay face
value for each and every one that he sells.
You have not beaten the railroad, but ier
haps deprived his wife (I happen to know
that he la married) out of a new dress that
she was figuring on."
The traveler lost all of hla satisfaction
and quietly handed out the excess change
that he had received through the ticket
stent s mistake.
"Here," he aald, "hand this back to the
boy. I am ashamed to. I never knew that
before. 1 know a lot of men In my shoes,
too. who have been viewing the matter in
the same light that 1 have. Hereafter 1
am going to preach a new gospel of hon
esty to the men who have the wrong alti
tude to the railroads."
A surprising statement comes from a
railroad men which further illustrates the
fact that men with what Is considered a
rigid moral code will beat the railroads
without the least compunction. Before the
passenger rate war was waged by several
states against the railway systems minis
ters of the pospel were allowed to travel
at half the usual rate. Credentials were
furnished them, which, when presented to
ticket agent, would entitle them to a
first-class ticket for one and a half cents
per mile.
According tol railroad men, an appalling
number of Instances are cited where the
clergymen enjoying thla privilege loaned
their credentials to parishioners and mem
bers of their churches In order that they
might beat the railroad. They felt no guilt
In doing this and would have been much
surprised at being accused of dishonesty.
In the !nv of the Pmbh
In the old days, when the giving of an
nual passes was a common practice. It was
nothing unusual for the pass owner to di
vide his privilege with numerous friends.
The conditions of every pass Issued called
for a cancellation in case that It was pre
sented by another than the one to whom
It waa Issued.
A Mlf-aourl Pacific official a few days
ago laughingly related a' story which
make a pass borrower the butt of a cruel
Joke and speaks well for the quick think
ing of a train "auditor.
A man boarded th" train and presented
an annual pans. In taking out his card
case to get the pass a dozen or more busi
ness cards fell on the aisle of the car.
The trainman noted that the cards bore a
different name from that written on the
pass. He at once suspected the passenger
as a pass borrower. However, he did not
want to merit a "call down" by wrongfully
BccuKlnc an Innocent person.
He went out of the ear and tltr-iight It
over. Finally he decided on a plan. He
wrote out a "dummy" telegram and ad
dressed It to the name he had seen on the
cards. He gave fhe sealed envelope to
the porter and snt him through the car
calling out the name. The passenger
sqlrmad uneasily In his seat, but tried to
look unconcerned. Visions of a sick wife
of an accident to his children, a pressing
business matter that might Involve many
dollars, arose before him. At last he could

Did Colonel Mosby meet him? Well, Ir.
the language of the southron, "I reckon."
These two old warriors had a long chat.
While Captain Beernan was the prisoner
of General Btuart his commanding officer
fell Into the hands of Colonel Mosby's

of the First Vermont became great friends.
Subsequent to the war Colonel Mosby re

the family of his friend, the commander
of the Vermont equestrians Captain Bee
n.an hr.ri the Southern cavalry leader had
'a very pleasant exchange of war-time ex
periences.
Their talk was Interrupted by a telephone
mesrage from Colonel C. I F. Robinson,
the new president of the Colt factory, w-ho
invited Colonel Mosby to visit hla factory.
During the war Colonel Mosby and his
rangers relied on the Colt for short-range
work. "There is a close bond of sympa
thy twlxt the Colt make and myself,"
i-ald Colonel Mosby, "due principally to tho
fact that In my system during the war 1
assimilated five bullets from different
Colts. "Incidentally," the colonel re
marked, with a twlnHle, '"I succeeded in
Implanting sundry Colt pellets Into othei
folks' systems, all of which Is the fortune
of war."
The colonel waa greatly Interested P
know that Colonel Colt lived to see the re
volver form of his firearm developed. In
tho war days, he recalled, they had to use
percussion caps to secure a discharge.
This, of course, was rather Inconvenient
Colonel Mosby started for the Cult factory
right after luncheon and he planned to
spend a very enjoyable afternoon going
through the great armory.
Colonel Mosby Is a great admirer of Oli

COTTON STATES TAKE TO CORN
Cereal Klnsr'a Dominions Steadily
Spreading Throaajtaoat the
nth.
The great corn states of the mid-west,
ke Iowa and Illinois and Nebraska, need
o I ok well to their honors as the wor d's
s-rcatest producers of this staple, for the
cotton slates of tha south a e on their
trail. They have quit cultliating cotton
exclusively and are giving their attention
to other crops also, chief among iheui
corn. In the past few years corn cult iv
clubs have been established throughout
the cotton belt; prises for the most suc
cessful corn growing have been offered In
thousands of communities; millions of
acres have been added to the area planted
to corn.
' Thlp j-ear'a record fbr"the largest yield
of corn per acre belongs to a southern
man with something like 153 bushola per
acre. This year's production of corn in the
cotton states, excluding Oklahoma and
Missouri, la more than 120,000.000 bushels
larger than It waa a year ago. It la ex
pected that next year will show a similar
gain over this year. .The eotton atatea
have been awept by a wave of intei-enl
and ontliuslasm In corn growing that
promises to dethrone cotton aa king and
elevate corn to Its throne. The corn crop
of the south has already surpasse the
sugar crop In value by some I10.ono.000
and It will also exceed the combined, value
of the rice and cotton crops this year.
The boll weevil Is repnnslble for this
revolution In cotton state farming.
Threatening dire disaster In the beginning.
It promises In the end to be a tort of

The advent of the pest awakened the
