The life of a railroad passenger
agent may not always be ba2p6
one, but it has its diversions. The
boys who drum traffic in way Of hu'
man freight have hustling time OF
it an not a man of them goes to sleep
on his watch. 1t, is business all the way
through, but now and then the agent
who has a soul in him gets chance
to do his road favor, square an ac-
count with his rivals and even up
matters with men who have acted
enmity towards him, and at the same
tins do it without injury to any enc
or violence to himself. Often only
a genius would see and seize the OPP
portunity, but as rule the average
passenger agent is genius. AT any
rate GENIAL John Millikin is of that
stripe and he is a hustler, too, just
the same, FOR some weeks past there
has been a war between the I. p. A.
and tue L. y N. railroad, whose trsv-
cling passenger agent Mr.. Mfilikin is,
because the road held out for higher
rate OF mileage ON thousand-mils
tickets than did some others On
this account the boys excluded the
L. Il N. from their parade and in a
manner fought them at every point,
the evident infection being to shut
them out from the benefit of any ad-
vertisement to be had drought the
drummers' part of the celebration.
So far so good. Nothing daunted,
Mr.. Millikin kept his eye skinned
and wore his hustling clothes. He
was innocent but enterprising. III
Joe Mulhattan's play he-nobody
knowns how-got himself cast for a
part, "The Ticket Agent" The aud
itorium was packed with drummeri
and their friends. The T, p. A. was
in full possession. Mr.. Millikin haC
two appearances on the stage in hi
part, and on each of these appear
auces he literally plastered the stag,
over with timetables and bills of tn,
L & n. amid the most enthusiacti'
applause, and as a grand finale to hi
coup d'etat he organized big ex
cursion over the road to Cincinnati
and not few of the T. p. A. mel
were passengers. As hustler Mr.
Millikin is a honey, and no wonder
for once he was newspaper man.

"A Hit for our Congressman


Capt. w, T, Ellis, Democratic Rom-

all parties heard Mr.. Ellis speech
which was so forcible that actually
the poor, misguided Republicans were
sorry they had undertaken the job.

Young Fotheringham who figured
so conspicuously in the Missouri Pa
ciGc express robbery does not seem to
have an easy time in getting the
amount of damages that he is justly
entitled to. Fotheringham sued the
company for unlawful arrest and de-
tenHon, and obtained verdict for
$4,000. Judge Thayer decided that
Foiheringham must, within five Gays,
remit $500 of the amount of the
judgment, or the motion for new
trial will be granted, and the com
pany's lawyer says that even If he
does this then he must consent 10 di'
vide the amount that remains or they
will contest his right to even this
small pittance for robbing him OF
his good name and reputation.

it. In the judgment of one of the trus-
