STORIES IN PASSING.
One day four men entered a B. it M.
train at a station in central Iowa,
bound for Omaha. They found two
6eats together and turning the front
one over sat facing each other. When
the Conductor camo along ono of the
men handed up four tickets, lie took
them and looked them over.
"That won't go' said the Conductor,
"three of them are half faro tickets.
You must pay the difference". But tho
four men looked out of the window and
said nothing. "Come gentlemen, you
must pay or get off" urged tho Con
ductor. Still they did not seem to hear
him but talked and laughed a little to
themselves. "I shall bo obliged to put
three of you off if you don't pay" said
the Conductor getting a littlo warm at
the perfect indifference of the four men.
"Well put three of us off if you want to"
said ono of them. Tho Conductor
reached up and took hold of the rope
but a sudden thought stopped him. Ha
looked ever the tickets again and resum
ed tho conversation. He tried to shamo
them with the idea that threo big men
would try to ride on children tickets.
He urged that it might cost him his
place to allow it and that he must put
them off or suffer for it. "Well pick
out the three men and put them off-'
was all the answer he could get.
And that conductor saw tho point
that whichever three he put off would
include the one who had paid full fare
and trouble would follow. Ho tried to
get them to locate their tickets but they
wouldn't do it. They leally seomed to
enjoy the situation.
Then the Conductor went back and
bi ought a head otlicial from the rear cf
the train. Ho tried argument and
thres ts but it was of no use. The men
sat still and rode into Omaha on their
half fare tickets.
"Ive learned something" said the
Conductor. "After this every man
hands up his own ticket."
A gentleman went into a store to pay
his account. The old gentleman, sen
ior in the business tlgured it up and
told him tho amount. As he was about
to pay it a son of the proprietor stepped
up, figured it over and found a mistake
making it .15 cents larger than before.
As the customer was taking out the
money a younger son camo up, looked it
over and fouud another mistake and
made it CO cents larger still. "Great
heavens' exclaimed the excited cus
tomer "give me that bill quick. Let mo
pay it before any more of your boys get
at it", and he hurried out of the store as
if he had really had a narrow escape.
He iB a university student who owes a
paper route running east from the
Journal office. By means of tho route
he is managing to pay his way through
college.but the Saturday collecting is tho
bane of his existenca. One woman in
particular causes him great trouble,
making use of every excuse to dodgo her
paper bill. Last Saturday the young
man knocked at tho door and the
twalvo year-old daughter appeared.
"Mamma isn't in this morning," she
said.
This same thing had appeared for
three successive Saturdays and the
joung man proposed to investigate a
littlo.
"Very well," he said quietly, "I'll just
step insido anl wait until sho comes
back." And uninvited he walked into
the front room of the house and as ho
expected found the voman at home.
"Oh, you've come back rather sudden
ly, haven't you?" he said,"Jvethat littlo
bill here, four weeks at 05 cents S2 CO,
if you please.'
"But 1 haven't Been a paper for two
weeks, jouvo been skipping me,' was
her answer.
"Not for a moment," answered the
youn man, "you'll rind every Journal
for the past ten days in jour paper rack
there," pointing toward the wall behind
her.
"Well, I haven't a cent, you'll have to
wait until next Saturday. It's pay-day
Thursday and I'll have the money sure."
"Not much. Two dollars and sixty
cents right now, or I'll be down here
this noon and camp right here until I've
boarded out thia bill, and you don't
know what an eater I am."
The woman was so frightened at the
thought that she tished around until sho
found the money and paid it, and the
student is convinced that he has solved
one problem of the news business.
The other day a banker in Chicaso
rushed out of his mansion in the middle
of the night and ended his life in the
cold waters of the lake. In what a
large number of cases men commit sui
cide in the night? Night that comes as
a boon to childhood, to tired hands, to
men at peace. What a dreadful thing
it is to the man in trouble, who bears a
great burden with a great fear over him.
How ho dnads to see it shutting down
on him like a great black pal'. All his
strength, courage, hope, lly away with
the daylight and terror has him in its
relentless gra3p. Ail tho mistakes
stalk before him and danger stands Lo
fore him mountain high. Every step is
a menace, every sound a threat. lie can
not sleep. He lives the past all over and
ho grows frantic. He becomes delirious
the delirium tremens or a sober man.
It has him by the throat, it chokes him,
he cannot breatho He tears out of tho
house and goes where he can get what
ho wants more than ar.yth'ng else rest.
The dreadful night it ho could only
kill it anil get rid of it But ho cannot
and so he kills himself.
