WANTED HIS HALF OF THE BERTH
Good Story Geo. NJ. Pullman Loved
to Tell of Lincoln.

There was one story of his career that
the late George NJ. Pullman of sleeping
car fame used to tell with manifest de-
light. 1t was as follows:
zone night going out of Chicago, long,
lean, ugly man. with a wart on his cheek,
came into the depot He paid George NJ.
Pullman 80 cents, and half berth was
assigned him. Then he took off his coat
and vest and hung them up. and they fit
ted the peg about as well as they fitted
him. Then he kicked off his boots, which
were of surprising length. turned into the
berth, and, having an easy conscience
was sleeping like a healthy baby before
the car left the depot. Along came an
other passenger and paid his 80 cents. In
two minutes he was back at George Pull
man.
There's a man in that berth of mine"
said he. hotly, and he's about ten feet
high. How am l going to sleep there,
I'd like to know? Go and look at him.
In went Pullman-mad too. The tall,
lank mans knees were under his chin, his
arms were stretched across the bed and
his feet were stored comfortably --for him.
Pullman shook him until he awoke, and
then told him if he wanted the whole
berth he would have to pay 81.
"My dear sir" said the tall man. "a
contract is contract. | have paid you
30 cents for half this berth. and as You
see, I'm occupying it. There's the other
half" pointing to a strip about six inches
wide. Sell that and don't disturb me
again" And. so saying, the man with
wart on his face went to sleep again. He
