When the Train Comes.

The arrival of the evening train at this place outranks all events here in the evening. Whenever it is behind tine, everything else is correspondingly late. Church es can never get a congregation until the train pulls out. Lodges can never muster quorum till the mail is distributed. Entertainment and social gatherings have to be de- layed until the last letter is chuck ed into its box and every face ap- pears at the office window with the usual number of questi ons. Even persons who do not receive a letter or paper once a month are regular callers at the postoffice, "when the tram comes in." This waiting for the train has taken such hold upon our people that 1t has become nuisance that churches, lodges and entertainments will have to submit to. A lady remarked in our hearing the other evening. "if a man was going to die here, he would wait till the train came in" and we believe she was about right. St. Paul Mountain Air.
