TRIALS OF A TICKET MAN.
He Can Endure All but the Questions of
People Who Never Travel.

He Can Endure All but the Questions of
People Who Never Travel.
A prominent Pittsburg passenger
agent, in a conversation with reporter
of that city, gave few interesting facts
relative to the everyday experience of
the average city passenger man. which
those not directly connected with the
business know nothing about. He said:
sit is singular fact the number of
people who visit our Office daily and the
curious questions they ask with regard
to railroad rates, etc., when very often
they have nc notion whatever of leaving
the city and as matter Of fact have not
Travelled any worth mentioning. For six
years there has been very singular char
acter who has made an annual visit to
this office. have no idea from whence
he cometh or whittier he goeth, but he
always asks the selfsame questions and
goes away apparently satisfied with the
information he has received. always
expect him in the springtime, generally
about the 1st of April, when the suns
rays grow warmer.
'Then my quaint old friend comes to
see me. I should judge him to be at
least so years of age. He is stopped and
feeble, with hair as white as snow, but
well dressed, wears silk hat and carries
a cane and talks in nervous, jerky
manner He invariably opens up with,
Whats the rate to Boston, I tell him,
and his eyes light up as he waddles out
with always the same observation. We'll,
by gum, that's cheap! cheapv If the old
man would tell his story, it might have
a tinge of pity in it. Perhaps he has
son or daughterin the Hub City whom it
has been his cherished hope to see for all
these years.
"The biggest out and out nuisance we
have to deal with are persons who come
here with no other intention than to col
lect all the railroad literature they can
They have no notion of going away, but
thay grab everything in sight i'll the way
of time tables and other information
bearing on tourists points in the north,
east, south and west. They greedily
gather pamphlets, circulars and book
lets treating on climate and resources,
Iidon't know what these collectors do
with the stuff they get here. but some of
them must have a prize assortment.
''Then the man who travels from one
end of the country to the other is the
person who invariably pushes into the
Office and in a brusk manner asks for a
time table of the line he Is about to
take. 1t is given him, Of course, and
without so much as glancing at the
schedule it is stuffed into his pocket,
and his next question is, When does my
first train leave? It never seems to oc-
cur to him to look on the time table. So
it goes. Sometimes people ask me ques-
lions until I'm afraid the buttons will
drop off my coat, but after all We man
age to get along with our patrons re-
markedly well. "-Pittsburg Post.

The Young Moon.

The editor Of The Popular Science
Monthly takes certain imaginative writ
ers to task for their unscientifc and alb
-surd statements regarding ''the young
moon" and ''the crescent moon" and ad-
vises them TO leave it alone, because they
SO often contrive to get it in the wrong
place. In a story which has come under
his notice he finds two friends described
as sitting out one summer evening look
ing over the Thames, and the writer goes
on to say, ''By this time the young moon
had arisen, and its cold light shimmered
over the misty river" Such writer's are
reminded that the young moon goes to
bed early and can never be seen in the
process of rising.
