The Title Settled Il.

II is an old story, says the Norwich Re-
publican, and, as it can possibly have no
local application, this is good time to
retell it.
1t is told Of the famous author of the
famous tract entitled Come to Jesus" who
was something Of conversationalist as well
as eloquent pleader for souls.
de was at one time engaged in a theo-
logical dispute with some reverend oppo-
nent, and grew more than usually heated
during the controversy.
At last he sat down and wrote an answer
to some publication of his opponent, an an

an answer sharp and cutting as q razor, an
answer he felt sure his opponent would
vince under as If no had received success.

Reading it to friend before sending il
for publication he asked:

the reply. "You fairly fay him alive. By

the clergyman. Can you suggest oneY'
"Well," came the response, slowly and
thoughtfully, show would it do to call il

That was all. The biting and sarcastic

An alphabetical list of all railroads and
passenger transportation lines in the
United States, Canada and Mexico, with a
number attached to the name of each road,
IS published in the official Guide for Janu-
airy, for the benefit, chiefly, Of the general
passenger agents. A joint COMMITTEES Of the
General Passenger aud Ticket Agents Asso-
citation and Of the Accounting Officers Asso-
citation, acting under authority of these
bodies, recommended this action, and the
list has been made up by the editor of the
Guide. The object is to provide q system
by which each road eau be universally
known by number, so that it can be briefly
and plainly indicated on tickets, tariffs, etc.
1t has been proposed that the scheme be
utilized by placing the number of the issu-
Ing rosd on the back of each coupon of each
foreign ticket, and the number OF the honor
ing road on the face of each coupon. The
standard form of ticket recommended by
the association is fast being adopted, SO that
the work Of asserting tickets by size, color,
ETC., is growing more difficult.
