HIDES ON CLERICAL MILEAGE.

HIDES ON CLERICAL MILEAGE.
A Drummer's Amusing Experience With
Railway Conductor.
TOR the first time in his long career
IL on the road the effable drummer
found himself in the railroad depot half
an hour in advance Of train time.
When he discovered his mistake his
wrath knew no bounds, and words
choice and rare were hurled in every
direction as he stood in front of the
big clock and regulated his own mis-
leading time-piece. The mere thought
of having violated the ethics Of his
profession 80 violently as to be found
lounging about in a railroad waiting
room was more than he could tolerate.
His'countenance softened visibly, how
ever, as he espied the partly figure Of
his old friend Cotton with his sample
case filed with small Walls of sour
mash and Sonoma wines. I.
Had a funny experience last trip
out, said Cotton, land had the pleas
ure Of sidetracking a conductor on a
scalper's ticket. He knew his business
all right enough, but my presence Of
mind won the day."
Don't exhaust your vocabulary in
the preface" exclaimed the afable
drummer, ''but give story and let me
be the Judge of it's merits"
"WelI, it was this way" continued
Cotton. "When l came back from the
south three weeks ago my expense &C
count looked like a gas balloon, and
the head bookkeeper warned me to be
on the lookout for trouble from the in,
side Office. Three days later I was or
dered out on a special mission, and,
being somewhat short of cash, Il
dropped into the nearest scalper, and
was lucky enough to be able to pur
chase the remnants of a 1000 mile
book. It had been issued to Rev.
Lucius Bingle, of Detroit, but of course
1 paid no attention to the name and
climbed into the smoking car in regu-
lar fashion.
without loss of time I planted my
self comfortably near window, placed
my sample case and valise on the seat
alongside, and after lighting a cigar
proceeded to peruse the latest copy Of
the Standard. When the conductor
reached me I was in the act of taking
a small swallow from my flask, but /
reached for the mileage book and
handed it to the boss of the train. He
glanced at the name and then at me
and remarked:
"'Mr. Bingle, glad to see you are en-,
ioying yourself. How is the Sunday
school getting on nowadaysH'
"For a moment I was stunned, con-
tinued Cotton, 'but l suddenly recol-
lected the name of Rev. Lucius Bin
gle on the corner of the book and felt
like jumping through the window. I
was supposed to be a clergyman, and
there I was with sample cases, cigars,
whiskey and a sporting paper in the
smoking car. I looked the conductor
squarely in the face, and told him l
had removed from Detroit and was en-
gagged in evangelical work among the
commercial travellers along the road,
and was en- route to Milwaukee to con.
duct a revival under the auspices of
the Brewery Workers league. Would
you believe it, the conductor tore out
the coupons for the trip and left the
car, humming: Just Tell Them That
You Saw Me- Narrow escape, don't
