MOCkRIDGE SAVED THE DAY.
His Transportation Feat More At
tractive Than His Singing.

Whitney Mockridge, the noted tenor, was
once taking a troupe of singers around the
country giving concerts at the principal
towns in the middle west and northwest
The troupe also included vioinist and a
solo pianist. They eventually arrived at
st. Louis, town on the Mississippi river.
From there they expected to take train for
Sedalia, fourishing town in the interior.
But to Mockridge's dsmay, there was no
train which would take MIN to Sedalia in
.ime for his concert. The officers of the
Missouri Pacific railroad We're sorry, but
it could not be helped. Mockridge tele-
graphed ahead to his agent to see if the
concert could not be postponed. "Impos-
sble,' was the reply.
But the tenor was equal to the emergency.
He CROPPED down in his broadcloth and ex-
tracted a roll of large, potent bills, currency
of the realm. These he waved in the coun-
tenances of the railroad people and demand
ed a locomotive, special car for his troupe
and a clear track as far as Sedalia. Money
talked and he got the train and the right of
way. He telegraphed to the anxious agent:
I'VE are coming, Father Abraham, 10000
strong. Meet lis at the depot with band.'
The news spread through the town and a
crowd gathered at the depot. The special
train ate up the 178 miles between st. Louis
and Sedalia as hungry tramp eats piece
of huckleberry pie. The wheels only hit the
high places. The crowd at the depot
madly enthusiastic when the train leaped
into town. and there a crowd at the
concert. To hear the singing? Oh, no. To
see the fellow who had saved the day, with
