A Cheeky BLUFF.
Gains for Him His DIM
cult End.

A local banker of small Iowa town was
called suddenly to a larger town at consid
cradle of a distance to Intercept his eloping
daughter, who had been visiting there. In
order to get there that day he would have
to change cars at Des Moines and the train
that connected with the Des Moines train
left earlier in the day. Consulting his time
table, he learned that the train he would be
obliged to board reached Des Moines just
ID minutes after the train for B, his
destination, pulled out. Remembering an
old adage of his cashier: He who works the
greatest bluff WINS he sent the following
message to the Des Moines train officials:
Hold the 2:30 train until arrive.
&c. G. BLANK"
Not knowing but that G. G. Blank was
in some way highly connected with the
road and fearing to incur his displeasure,
the bluff worked. When he stepped off
the train at Des Mones a man hurried to-
ward him, and, lifting his hat respectfully,
inquired: Are you Mr.. Blank?'
Yes"
owe received your message. The train
is waiting"
And that is how G. G. Blank, who is not
known outside his little county, passed for
an official of great and mighty corpora
ton and was able to reach his destination
just in time to give the paternal blessing to
his daughter and her newly made husband.
