Things Came the HOb0's way.

"It was away back in the '70s'' said an
old engineer. II was pulling the limited
east from Council Bluffs to Chicago over
the Rock Island. The night was bitterly
cold. We had gone about twenty miles
out. and had stopped at q night office for
orders. and had started up again, when
the fireman reached over and said: There
ia q hobo on the pilot; saw him get on at
the depot SureT I said. Go out on the
running board and see Ii he is there vet
The fireman did as he was ordered to do
and returned with the information that
the hobo was still there.
Well said 1, it's bitter cold night.
and If he can stand II out there / am
willing he should ride with me- And on
We went toward Chicago with old '2f1'
barking like sixty at the low joints ahead
and forgetful OF our 'head-end' passenger
on the pilot.
by and by. by the faint glimmering of
the headlight, thought saw ahead what
seemed to be a bunch OF cattle on the
track AS we approached 1t the bunch
seemed to grow larger. 1t was now too
late to do anything. SO I tllst pulled her
wide open, and old I'll hit that bunch Of
cattle ka-bif.' To paraphrase the language
of Tennyson. who glides into raptures OF
admiration over the charge of the Light
Brigade at Balaklava, there was just SIM
ply cattle to the right OF us. cattle to the
left of u.s. and cattle to the rear OF us, but
none any more in front OF us. After II
was over our thoughts reverted to the
hobo on the pilot. Go out and see IL he
is stili there / said
"Well.'' said an old brakeman, under
whose feet the frosts OF many winters had
cracked as he wendell his way In the dark
over many a long train OF boxcars, and
who had been listening TO the story.
Well" said he, was he killed.
No replied the engineer. There he
sat as large as any hobo could sit. on the
pilot with an oyster can milking one Of
those burned cows."-Topeka Daily Capt.

The performance in the tent II fearfully
drawing nearer and nearer to the END. The
boys see this with a sinking heart. A
man makes an announcement that surely
betokens a time when all this glory must
pass away. In sharp staccato tones he
declaims aloud. 1.-THE perfawmence ees not
yet half ovah. The gentlemanly agents
will pass around the ring with tickets for

being on real stage with scenery falls
duly upon the ears Of the boy who has

light him, but half Their glory ~ spoiled

steps he notes that ut the further end Of
the tent from the stage. the quarter poles
are being taken down and loaded into
wagons. and when all Is over at last. there
Is nothing but the seats just vacated, the
quarter poles which stay up the canvas
directly over them, and the center poles
remaining. Outside the main tent all Is
gone AT s:45 the work began. Al fast
as anybody got through with his turn, the
properties were all taken apart and put
each In Its numbered place in the wagon,
Every bit Of wardrobe for which each per-
former was responsible went into the lit
tie compartment OF which he had the key
In their regular order each wagon moved
of to the train waiting on the side track
for IL.
The circus tent stands alone. The gaso-
line chandeliers hang In the center till all
the properties are removed. Last and most
difficult Of all 10 get out Is the spiral up
which the man propels the globe Then
the stars are lowered and extinguished.
and naring torches light the place with
their yellow smoky blaze. A stentorian
voice calls out: Acknowledgements and
presently sinks 10 the ground the last OF

iacings are quickly undone, the pieces
rolled up and put In the wagons, and the
show Is gone.
Next day the boys playing around Van
