Some time ago a noticeabiy pretty New
England girl spent the entire day here at
the station seemingly on thorns and pins
of anxiety She looked al her watch or
at The clock every few seconds, and no
person came anywhere about but she
watched them narrowly. Two Quaker la
dies, travellers on the local train who keep
a select boarding house in the suburbs,
noticed her standing about, and in the
afternoon, when they came in ahead of
time for their Train they got to talking
with her. The girl scarcely took her eyes

her hands in great distress. The ladies
petted and soothed her and finally her

terminal station. "A large, prosperous
looking woman who came in on the 7l0
Northwestern train yesterday on the look
out for folks to meet her got so flustered
and outdone when they did not show up
that she bought her ticket, a matter of
SO or so, and went straight home on the
train that left two hours later, without
making so much as an effort to see the
sights of the town she had Travelled so
far to reach.
" I can't bear to be in a strange place
and feel like a fool when you don't know
nobody nor nothing" she grumbled when

friends, who were doubtless delayed and
off she went in childish, cut-yOur- nose to-

"One day a little boy, pretty and taking,
but deaf and dumb arrived all alone. He
did not even know the sign language nor
how TO write his name, and we kept him
for tOrty-eight hours in hopes some one
would inquire or telegraph. At length it
occurred to me to send to the deaf and
dumb institution and ask if a pupil cor
responding to his age and size was eX-

located at the school, whose management
his people had treated with, but had not
advised of the time he was to come. The
number of people who ship children and
even invalids off in this irresponsible fash

note delivered to one expectant dame in
a railway station lately whose husband
had asked her to wait until his return
1t was hours before the startled woman
was sufficiently restored and composed to
face her altered existence, and it was the
tactful post transit hostess who made tea
for her and talked over matters in COM

There are cases where the good nature
and courtesy of the railroads is imposed
upon, and when people who really could
