A certain young man with a handsome
wife has many times and oft importuned a
railroad dispatcher down the road for the
position of tiagman Ou freight train, and
the probabilities are that he would still be
on the importune had he not had the good
or bad fortune t. return home very unex-
pectediy few nights az" and found the
aforesaid handsome wife and gay des-
patchcr in fdgrdHte dciictu under his own
roof. That brought the tagging business
to climax iustauter, but the employee
who was removed to make room for the
/ young husband so unexpectedly promoted,
after finding out how it himself, re
/ ported the affair to headquarters, and how
/ the dispatcher stands rs much in need of
somebody t. give him employment as the
young husband did before he gained such
an Oh -equious friend.
