The Range-Tribunc tells Of n good Joke
being told at the expense OF one Of the
conductors OF this division OF the Chica-
go, Milwaukee x st. Paul road, and
rather suspects that Conductor Topping
is the victim. As told by Hanna II
reads as follows: One day IN old lady
boarded the train at Green Bay. Ere
long she inquired OF the conductor as to
the time the train would reach Maple
Valley, and the oblging conductor
|promptly informed her But the old
lady was not satisfied and was soon
Iagain plying him with questions. When
Maple Valley Was reached the conductor
was busy attending TO his duties and
forgot all about the old lady. Entering
the ear some moments after the train
was well under way he was surprised to
find her still among his passengers
Thinking she had misunderstood the
brakemnn's cull, the conductor rang the
bell and ordered the engineer to back TO
the station, nearly two miles. Reaching
the platform again the conductor in
formed her that she was at her destina-
tion, and was knocked silly when she
replied: 81 do not want to get of here.
My daughter told me to take my pill
when we got TO Maple Valley and / was
bound not TO forget"
