would be no contest for the place, that

of the city. 1t was then desired to place
the fountain somewhere on the Campus

Dream of Young Conductor.

In the case of certain conductor on

happiness will go hand in hand some
day-but not now. This particular
young man, who is the son of a North

this young man will be placed on
regular run on the line. On this state
of affairs hangs a most important hap
pening. The young man and his sweet
heart have decided that their wedding
shall take place when he shall have Sc
cured this regular run.
The other day two conductors on the
line were laid off" by the management
for a slight violation of the rules They
were not discharged. But the young
man heard of it and he Immediately
made mental calculation on the most
momentouS question. He inquired that
the conductors had been discharged
and that he was now in the line OF d.
rect succession. He is impulsive, and
the thought filled him with joy. He
ran into a store and rang the telephone
bell. First he notified his father that
he had secured a regular run on the
line, and then he telephoned the object
of his affections
Talking close to the phone he said to
her: Say, Alice Cher name isn't Alfce),
I've got that regular run now. Say,
how about next week? Can you get
ready by that time? Well, III be over
this afternoon.
He dashed out of the store and began
making plans for his marriage. His
friends noticed that he seemed espe-
cially joyous, and to a few he entrusted
the information that he had gotten that
long looked for position and that some
thing would happen next week.
But disappointment awaited him
Soon he found that the two conductors
had not been discharged, merely sus-
pended for a few days His joy col
lapsed and when he went over to see
his sweetheart in the afternoon he was
cast down and sad. But one of these
days some conductor will quit, and
then this ardent young lover, who. by
the way, is a nice, handsome fellow,
will realize his fondest hopes. speed
