ASmart Station Agent

Some years ago, shortly after the intro
duction ofthe Illinois Central road through
that portion of Illinois known as Egypt.
an honest countryman, who had lived
some forty years in blissful ignorance OF
everything pertaining to the "keers," was
appointed station agent at C, one OF
those little out-of-the-way places, where,
as Dickens says, "no one could by any
possibility want to get Oft or on" On re-
ceiving his instructions he was tolo,
that, as C was merely flag sta
tion," trains would stop only when some
one wished 10 get off or on |; and If he want
ed to stop any train he must flag" it.
Shortly after his appointment, accor-
dinghy, as the "maip' came laundering
on, he placed the magic red flag in position
the signal To stop.
As the ears drew up TO the station the
conductor jumped off with his accustomed
4" All aboard!' at the same time asking ii
there We're "any passengers to get on ~
Wa'al, not as I knows of" was the
puzzled agents reply.
Then what did you stop the train for 20
shouted the irate conductor.
"I didn't know but some un might want
10 get OFT said the obligng "agenI' in q
conscious tone Of injured Innocence.

It seems to me that editors
Get everything they need;
They get the biggest and the best
Ofeverything that grows,
And get into the eircusses
And other kinds of shows;
When mammoth cheese is cut
They always get slice,
For sying Mrs. Smith knows how

The largest pumpkin Longest beet,
{ And other garden stuff,
Is blown into the sanctum by

You own printing press;
At ladies' fairs they're almost hugged,
BY pretty girls who know
That they will crack up everything
The ladies have to show,
And thus they get a" blow out" free,
At every party feed;
The reason is because they write
And other people read.

EDITOR ir,:-From this you
may know tha. we are yet alive and above
ground. Well, Bloomfield is still alive and
on the round track one day she is for Ce-
dar Rapids and st. Louis, the next she
wheels about and picks up the old garden
strip of Swamptown AMI Fairfield, gives it
thunder for day or two and then bounds
back on Robertson's Statn Line Railroad.
Well, gentlemen guess that is all right, /
have heard that a sitting hen never gets
May feathers.
Our reporters say that the Grand Rally
at Bloomfield, last Saturday was a grand
| affair. Some fine speeches We're made,
after which the book was opened, and an
other book was opened the stock was
weighed in the balance and found wanting.
The next performance was Il Grand Rally
for stock, and must confess that it was
success of some magnitude; after dunning
until they had the thumps, they made
their report, and they had the enormous
sum of three or four shares. This sitting
rather hard on their refined feelings, after
resting over the Sabbath, they concluded
10 fall back on the old track of stump
town and Fairfield.
Two of our best farmers who had taken
stock at Bloomfield, went down to see how
things were getting along, and found 10
their surprise that the thing had soured on
them. They were pressed very hard to
change their stock To Fairfield, but il
would not win; so they being desirous OF
doing something for their country, came to
our town and put their stock down on our
books. Take notice boys andgoyern your
selves accordingly. Yours,
BILLY
