EFFORT WAS WASTED.
Pa Told His Son a Nice Little story
with Moral, But 1t Was
UnavaiIing.

! overheard couple of well-known gen.
tlemen relating their experience in domestic
affairs a few days ago. One of them said
his boy was inclined to devote too much
of his time to athletic sports and neglect
his studies, while the other found his boy
devoting his energies to master half dozen
different musical instruments, which was
the cause of his neglecting duties assigned
him to perform.
Il took the boy aside" said the parent,
.and told him the following story: A grass
hopper wasted all the cheerful days of sum
mer skipping gay.y about in the fields and
enjoying himself, while the prudent ant
improved each hour by gathering food and
storing it away. When winter came, and
the thermometer registered in the vicinity
of zero, the grasshopper approached the
ant for the loan of provisions.
"But the ant said: What were you do
ing all summer oh, singing and dancing
said the grasshopper. oh, well, chop ice
now,' said the ant, so the hungry grasshop-
per went away and dropped dead from cold
and hunger. / thought the moral of the
story was too plain for me to make further
comment, and as | was about to leave it
with him to think it over the little fellow
looked up and said: That's all right pa,
but there seems to be just as many grass
hoppers.'

Then there was girl who had put
her fare inside her glove for safe keep
ing, and when it was wanted her fin
gers were so chilled she couldn't I'M
fasten the glove.
Let me try it?" proposed Charlie.
The girl held out her hand, and in an
instant the glove was unfastened, and
with laugh she shook nickel into his
palm.
Next, young man got off, leaving a
bundle behind. Charlie saw it just as
the car started again, and, picking it
off the floor, fastened back to the plat
form. The young man had remem-
bered and was running after the car.
"Toss?" shouted Charlie, with one
hand on the bell cord.
Yes, toss it,"
So Charlie tossed it, the young man
caught it, and the car didn't have to be
stopped.
But a few minutes later Charlie did
ring, and as the car came to standstin
the door of house opposite opened and
an old man came out.
"How did he know that man wanted
to ride?' one passenger asked of an
other in a low voice.
There was woman inside at a
closed window motioning to him, "'her
companion answered.
The car was so crowded that for a
minute it seemed as if the old man
would have to stand, especially as he
was very disagreeable to look at, and
not over clean. But Charlie whispered
something to a boy near the door, and
the boy sprang up and politely offered
his seat.
A little after this they came to a
turnout, where they had to wait for an
other car to come and pass. Here the
portly man with the valise took his
leave. McElroy watched him out of
sight, then walked around to the rear
end of the car.

way. "Well. if he doesn't it is some

Thanksgiving dinners foated to Charlie
as the car sped along, and he wondered
if his mother had roasted turkey.
The long afternoon came to an end,
and Charlie had yet received no word.
They're keeping it till morning." he
thought. ''I'll not say anything about it
at home till then, either" he added.
Mother needn't have it to worry over
till she's obliged to-"
Jesse and Jamie were on the lookout
for him, though it was SO dark outside
they could see hardly an inch beyond
their noses, which were flattened
against the pane. Charlie called to them
as he went by, and they rushed to open
the door for him.

"Oh, dear!' thought Charlie. slow

At that moment the postman

is somewhat hackneyed term as applied to
railroad trains, but it accurately describes
the Alton Limited, the newly equipped day
trains of the Chicago & Alton K. r. Co.
which were placed in daily service between
Chicago and st. Louis, November Is, 1899.
The equipment consists of standard Chicago
& Alton passenger locomotive; United
States postal car, siXty-siX feet in length;
combination passenger and baggage car,
combination parlor chair car and coach, Chi
cago & Alton parlor chair car; cafe and buf-
fet smoking car and Pullman parlor observa-
ton car, each of which is seventy-two feet
six inches in length. The framing of all
these cars is Pullman standard with Empire
decks, wide vestbules, standard steel plat
forms and antitelescoping device. All of
the cars are lighted with electric lights ex-
cept the mail car and combination passenger
coach and baggage car, which are lighted
with Pintsch gas. The windows throughout
the entire train are of uniform width, the
Gothic lights above being of the new Pull
man standard. The ornamentation is of spe-
cial design, the color scheme being maroon.
Great care has been used in the selection of
pushes and woods for the interior, and the
lamps, metal furnishings, etc, are of special
design. 1t is claimed that there has never
been built in America train which has re-
ceived as much attention as to constructive
details as has The Alton Limited An ex-
animation of this superb train certainly
bears out this claim.

or one day, and we'll see how you get

for one day, and we'll see how you get
along"
ooh, thank you, sir!" and Charlie,
lacked only three minutes of six, made
a dash for his car. McElroy, the motor
man, was already at his post.
"Hullo, Charlie" he called. Thought
I'd see you. Father can't come, can
hep"
mo; I'm going instead"
''You! Well, | rather guess not, my
boy!"
But I've got permission from the
man who's taking the superintendent's
place"
Well" he said, dryly, ''you were in
luck not to see Rawlinson himself.
He'd never let you CO."
Don't you think / can do it?"
.Course you can, but he never'd think
So"
Then Charlie, who was standing on
the rear platform, by this time, with
watch in hand, gravely rang the bell
twice; McElroy with grin obeyed the
signal and the car moved slowly out of
the stable.
Soon the car began to fill, and then
Charlie was too busy to think much
about his own affairs. He had often
been with his father, and so he knew
exactly what to do. With the exception

and the day passed with no unpleasant
incident.
1t was six o'clock when he set out for
home, but though tired and hungry his
courage was good. He had done his
work faithfully and McElroy had
praised him. The conductors and mo-
tormen on other cars, Notwithstanding
their great surprise on first seeing him,
had also expressed their approval in
various ways, and he knew he had their
good will.
In the morning Charlie went again
to see Mr.. Trask, the man who was TAX
ing the place of the superintendent.
I'm told that Mr.. Rawlinson has a
great objection to boys he said, but

Charlie flushed and his fingers trem-
bled as he opened it. He glanced at the
end and saw Mr.. Trask's signature.
Then he began at the beginning.

have not seen him, he went at once to
his daughters home on the West side.
From there he telephoned me, asking who
was the boy conductor on car No. II, and
how he happened to be there. l telephoned
the answer, and then came this order"
Here Charlie crumpled the letter up
in his hand. He knew well enough what
the order was, and so what was the
need of reading it?
"May | see?" said his mother.
Charlie hesitated, then gave her the
letter.
Mrs. Leslie smoothed it out and ran
her eyes over it. Her face lighted up.
"Oh!" she exclaimed, joyfully, won't
your father be pleased"
pleased" echoed Charlie, pleased?
i don't understand'
His mother handed back the letter,
and Charlie read the superintendent
order:
Let Charlie Leslie keep his fathers place
till his father gets well, and pay him his
fathers wages"
What L can't see," said Charlie, who
had been thoughtful and silent all
through the Thanksgiving supper, lis
why Mr.. Rawlinson changed his mind,
for I'm positively certain that when
he paid me his fare he meant to turn
me off"
But though Charlie continued to
puzzle over the question, he never
found the right answer to it.-Elizabeth

one, and at night Mr.. Leslie was still

one, and at night Mr.. Leslie was still
no better.
Thanksgiving morning came, and
showed no change, either in the wealth
er or the invalid's condition, and
Charles heart was very heavy as he
began his third days work Shortly
before noon a portly man with valise
boarded the car by the front platform,
which was against the company's rules,
and took a seat near the forward end.
He looked tired and cross, and the lit
tie girl with blue eyes, opposite him.,
shrank back. He, however, stared
straight before him over her head and
did not appear to see her, or indeed
anything else, till Charles voice close
beside him said courteously:
Your fare, sir"
He turned quickly at this, and, see
ing Charles boyish face, his own grew
red, and he scowled.
What are you doing here?" he de-
handed. roughly.
Taking fares, sir" Charlie answered,
pleasantly.
The man opened his lips to speak
again, then checked himself and grim
ly paid his fare.
Charlie now gave his attention to the
little girl, who was on the verge of tears
because she had dropped one of her
pennies.
Don't cry and I'll find it for you in a
jiffy," said Charlie, and falling on one
knee he poked carefully in the straw
till he found the missing coin, and held
it up to her with a smile that brought
an answering smile from her. Now,
where do you want to stop?" he asked.
maple avenue" she whispered, for
she was very shy, and when the place
was reached, Charlie stopped the car
and beckoned to her, and lifted her
gently to the crossing.
Soon after this an old lady was seen
running toward the car. She was try
ing to carry several bundles and hold
up an umbrella at the same time.
Don't worry, ma am; there's plenty
of time called Charlie, and helped her
up the steps. ''I'll keep this for you,"
he said, as he closed the UNI brella, and

car, there was her umbrella opened
