STORIES IN PASSING.

A sharp nosed, sharp chinneG woman
with thin chest and bony hands entered
the store and in raeping voice explain
ed to the clerk that she wanted to pur-
chase q birthday present for her
husband.
About what have you in mind to
give him?" asked the clerk.

about eight or ten dollars?"
YES, about that"
The clerk pulled out halt dozen suits
Of that price, which the woman examin-
cd as only woman can. holding them to
the light, turning them inside out. and
pulling and crumplirg them in every
possible way.
But you seem SO awful high. Ten
dollars? Oh. that is too much. be-
lieve a macintosh would be better;
cay, something about Eve dollars.
Mackintoshes came out next-all colors
and grades-which. by the way are the
meanest things in the world to show a
customer. But these. again, did not
suit. William never had had mackin-
tosh and might not like to wear one.
They were very nice, she thought. but
come to think about it. William over
coat was good yet and he could wear
that in rainy weather. So she would Mt
take n macintosh. Instead she would
look ut some nice WOODEN underwear.
The clerk gritted his teeth and tackled
the underwear. But he had to rip up
the entire department before he could
find something to suit the woman.
Finally she said she would lay aside

after twenty minutes indecision over the

By that time sic had determined about

The last evening train on the Bur-
lington was approaching Lincoln. The
chair car was filed with a noisy. good
natured crowd. At the rear end four
commercial travellers were playing
whist. In the front seats q group of
University students returning from the
Christmas vacation were talking and
laughing boisterouely and singing COL
lege songs. A big man in white SLOUGH
hat leaned across the isle and discussed
politics with member OF the legislature
from Douglas county. Two seats in the
center Of the car we're turned together
and occupied by q mother and her
family. The mother was leaning her
head against the easement asleep with
paper thrown over her face to shut out
the Pickering lamps. A girl Of fifteen
sat with her reading "a Bow OF Orange
Ribbon" In the seat opposite were
three little girls Of seven or eight years
Of age. They had eaten "crackerjack.,
played "cats' cradle" and peered out
into the darkness at the sparks flying
by until they had grown tired and
sleepy. Then the youngest, fair, little

started simple nursury, song, evidently
.omething their mother was accostumed
10 sing them at bedtime.
In the noise Of the car her voice was
heard barely beyond the nearest seat.
But her sisters took up the lullaby and
Ill three began to attract attention.
One after another the passengers turned
and listened until even the travelling
men forgot their game and the students
quoted Gown. For q moment there
was perfect silerce while the clear
;hiliish voices singing that sweet simple
'efrain filled the car.
Then suddenly the door opened. The
ourly porter hustled in.
"Lincoln.-Lincoln." he screamed,

ord and Denver, Grand Island, Sheri-
Ian and all points west and north.
