Accommodating Railroad Men Make It
Pleasant for an Enthusiastic Gum
ner-Stop the Train to Let
Him Bag His Game.

Speaking of accommodating officials
on the different railroads, the Lewiston
Evening Journal says it would seem
that those running on the mixed train
OF the Phillips G. Rangeley railroad
should be presented with the blue
ribbon" for the careful attention they
pay to its passengers, and when one
asks for favor, if it is in the power of
trainmen it will be granted.
The other day party of jolly drum
mers were coming up the line, and
the entire party were well supplied
with ammunition. They were mixing
little sport in with their business
calling. Among the number was Will
liam l.. Gerrish, of Portland, Me. The
trainmen were telling about seeing
partridges nearly every trip, and this
rather enthused the party and started
the sporting blood in Mr.. Gerrish's
veins to flow more fiercely, and, after
it had made several trips through his
anatomy, the gentleman was prepared
to face almost any obstacle in order
to get even shot at the almost num-
berless birds that inhabited the woods
en- either side of the railroad track.
But all this time his mind had been
busy thinking up some scheme whereby
he could get a chance to fire at one or
two.
II have it." said he to himself, and
a moment later his actions were caus-
ing as much comment among his fell
low passengers as would flash of
lightning from cloudless sky. All the
while he was putting his thoughts into
lction. He arose. took his gun from
the case. inserted couple of car
tridges, and started for the door Of the
c0boose,
Where going, Gerrish?" asked one.
Going TO shoot partridge" replied
the drummer sportsman.
They thought he had become sudden
ly insane and was going to jump from
the train. But this idea was soon dis
PEELED from their minds, for a moment
later all that could be seen OF this err
